CALGARY, Feb. 18, 2014 /CNW/ - Nick Taylor, CEO of Softrock Minerals Ltd, is
pleased to announce that the Farmor has set production casing on
its first well on Softrock (TSX-V SFT) and Greencastle's (TSX-V
VGN) jointly owned 640 acre Alberta
Crown lease after reaching a total measured depth of 3006
meters with the last 1420 meters being lateral (horizontal) in the
Charlie Lake formation. In the
next few weeks the farmor expects to frac and complete the well
which would earn it a 100% working interest in the section subject
to a 5% net GORR ( with no deductions) to Greencastle and Softrock.
The farmor has made an earlier payment of $400,000 to Softrock and Greencastle.
Also of interest was the fact that three shallower horizons in
the well showed hydrocarbon possibilities and the government has
announced that spacing units on the Charlie Lake could be two wells per 160
acres.
The Company (SFT-V) also announces that a total of one million
(1,000,000) stock options to purchase Softrock common shares were
granted February 14, 2014 to
directors and officers of the Company at an exercise price of
0.05 per share, expiring on February 14,
2019. The grant of options is subject to Exchange
approval.
Neither the TSX Venture nor its Regulation Service Provider (as
the term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange)
accepts the responsibility for the accuracy or adequacy of this
release
