Matrixx Agrees to Acquire an Interest in Five Oil and Gas Leases
Matrixx Resource Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: MXXR) announced today that it
has signed an MOU whereby it agrees in principle to acquire a 10%
interest in five oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico.
The leases are located off the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, and
Alabama and cover 5,000, 2,000, 5,000, 5,760 and 5,760 acres
respectively. Each lease area is located in relatively shallow water
ranging from 97 feet to 240 feet. Currently, there are plans to drill
14 wells on the leases. The first well is scheduled to begin drilling
by the end of 2007. Drilling is expected to continue on the 13
additional wells in 2008 and 2009.
Independent geophysical assessment has been performed on the leases
by using 3D seismic survey. Initial prognosis for the14 wells indicates
aggregate production ranges of 68.3 BCFG to 119.6 BCFG and 13MMBO to
18.75 MMBO.
The Company has begun negotiations with its financial partners and
is arranging funding for the dry hole and completion costs that are
expected to be incurred from the aforementioned 14 wells. To facilitate
the financing for the lease acquisitions and required drill programs,
the Company and its majority of shareholders have agreed to complete a
1 for 250 reverse stock split. Upon completion of the reorganization,
the Company anticipates closing on the funding for the first drill
program. Additional information pertaining to the leases, drill
programs, and financing will be released as it is made available.
Matrixx has remained steadfast in its efforts in acquiring growth
and investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector with the intent
of providing the Company and its shareholders a much-improved increase
in shareholder value. Additionally, the Company is positioning itself
to aggressively exploit its' properties to accelerate cash flow and to
provide rapid returns on its investments in the oil and gas sector.
