Gensource president and CEO Mike Ferguson said: “It is a significant milestone for Gensource to successfully complete our exploration drilling programme, and retrieve the full core from the Prairie Evaporite from both drilling locations.
“We are proud to say that the work was accomplished safely, with no reportable incidents during the programme, and initial observations of the core look very promising.”
Samples procured from the Well #1 are currently being analysed and assessed data will be provided by the company after completion of this analysis.
