Fortem Resources Inc. Provides Corporate Update
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FORTEM RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: FTM; OTCQB: FTMR) (the “Company” or “Fortem”) would like to provide its shareholders with a general corporate update regarding its Utah assets and its previously disclosed cease trade order (“CTO”) issued by the Alberta Securities Commission (“ASC”).
Utah AssetsFurther to the Company’s news release dated September 23, 2019, the Company is pleased to report that it has now come to terms with its partners in Utah to acquire the remaining 25% working interest from Rockies Standard Oil Company LLC and WEM Dragon LLC, along with eliminating their cash and well drilling obligation under each agreement. The aforementioned terms are to be incorporated into two definitive agreements (together, the “Definitive Agreements”) with each of Rolling Rock Resources, LLC (“Rolling Rock”) and Black Dragon Energy LLC (“Black Dragon”), wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which the Company expects will inject capital directly into each of their assets and allow them to benefit from 100% of their net cashflow. The Company also looks forward to recompleting some of the existing wells located on both of the Rolling Rock and Black Dragon properties to enhance their production levels. The Company anticipates the Definitive Agreements to be entered into within the next 30-60 days. Upon the closing the Definitive Agreements, Rolling Rock and Black Dragon will own a 100% working interest of all their assets, providing an attractive opportunity for the Company to raise capital and work strategically with potential joint venture partners.Audit and ASC ReviewAs of October 30, 2019, the Company filed its interim financial statements, the related management discussion and analysis and the certification of the annual filings for the three and six months period ended August 31, 2019 (collectively, the “Filings”), and is now current with all of its filing obligations. With the Filings now completed, the ASC has commenced their review of the Company’s application for revocation of the CTO (the “Revocation Application”) and has issued comments with which the Company has responded. Unfortunately, this process will take some time and is necessary in order to remove the CTO. The Company would like to take this opportunity to thank its shareholders for their patience.
