CALGARY, June 4, 2013 /CNW/ – First Mountain Exploration Ltd. (“First Mountain“) (TSX Venture: FMX) is pleased to announce that it has closed the acquisition of certain assets in the Buffalo Atlee area of Alberta (the “Assets”) from a private Company for cash consideration of $175,000, before closing adjustments. The effective date of the acquisition was May 1, 2013.
The Assets consist of a 50% operating working interest in 2 producing wells and 1,120 gross acres of land. The Assets are currently producing approximately 22 barrels of oil per day gross and provide First Mountain with 8 to 10 horizontal development drilling locations. First Mountain anticipates that production levels, from this and other acquisitions in the current year, will generate sufficient cash flow to cover overhead costs by year end.
