04.02.2014 | GlobeNewswire
WINTERPARK, Feb. 4, 2014 - Centor Energy Inc. (OTCQB:CNTO) is pleased to announce that it has executed a $1.25 million loan agreement with a private lender Fortuitus Investments, Inc.. The loan will be funded in phases and partial proceeds will be used to complete the pending acquisition of the 55% working interest in the Pasquia Hills Oil Shale Project scheduled for February 16, 2014 as well as to complete the Hatch Ltd. feasibility study to determine economic criteria for commerciality and refine an operational plan to extract the oil shale resource. The Company has previously received $350,000 from this lender and has a successful working history.
James Michael Sullivan, President and CEO of Centor Energy stated: "Pasquia Hills was first explored by Sun Oil in 1964. In September of 2006 a more aggressive exploration permit was granted and in excess of $2.5 million has been spent in exploration and proving these reserves, to the extent that in 2013 a 15 year working lease was approved and granted with an effective starting date of March 7, 2013. Now on February 16, 2014 Centor Energy will own a 55% working interest in this extraordinary oil shale project. This is a major milestone accomplishment and I cannot understate the importance of this acquisition for the Company. It is extremely important to recognize the Hatch feasibility study is one of the final steps to operationalize this project, a project with over 1.1 billion barrels of contingent resources. The shallow overburden and economic feasibility of this project as reported in the Chapman Petroleum Engineering, Ltd December 1, 2013 Evaluation Report is truly exciting and I encourage all shareholders to read the full report available on our website. (www.centorenergyinc.com). I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the confidence and further validation by our lender in providing financing. It is extremely important to have a lender who understands the petroleum and energy sectors as well as believes in our management team and we look forward to a long continuing relationship as we explore new opportunities for the Company."
We look forward to further updates as we complete the closing and continue to develop the oil shale resources in Pasquia Hills.
