CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Sept. 9, 2013) – Kallisto Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KEC) (“Kallisto” or the “Company”) announces that is has acquired a 100% working interest in two sections of land in the Minnehik – Buck Lake area of Alberta (the “Lands”). The Lands were acquired pursuant to the terms of the Farmout and Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) announced on May 30, 2013 between Kallisto and a company with which it holds a secured loan facility (“Loanco”). The Lands are prospective for Cardium light oil.
As part of the settlement of the outstanding loan, the Agreement specified that Loanco would make a loan payment of approximately $850,000 on or before August 31, 2013. That payment was not made as contemplated. As a result, the interest of Loanco in the Lands was quit claimed, surrendered and conveyed to Kallisto pursuant to a Quit Claim, Surrender and Conveyance of Agreement dated September 1, 2013 in full satisfaction of the outstanding loan.
In addition, Loanco had previously entered into a farmout agreement (the “Farmout Agreement”) with an industry partner (the “Partner”) pursuant to which the Partner agreed to pay 37.5% of the capital costs of a test well to earn a 25% working interest in a portion of the Lands with an option to participate in the drilling of a second well on the same terms to earn a 25% working interest in the balance of the Lands. Kallisto has agreed, subject to certain modifications to the Farmout Agreement, to recognize the farmout terms with the Partner.
Subject to Kallisto completing the sale of certain non-core assets and/or other ongoing funding initiatives, it is expected that a horizontal well will be drilled on the Minnehik – Buck Lake lands in 2013.
Kallisto is a Calgary-based junior resource company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas, primarily in Alberta.
