ROUYN-NORANDA, QC, July 22 /CNW Telbec/ - X-Terra Resources Corporation (XT-TSXV) is pleased to provide shareholders with the following update.
Oil and Shale Gas Projects
X-Terra in partnership with Brownstone Ventures owns more than 150,000 hectares of land spread over three different projects; Shawinigan, Rimouski and Rimouski North. In January 2010, X-Terra and Brownstone applied for an additional 150,000 hectares between Rimouski and Rivière-du-Loup. This project will be named Trois-Pistoles, as soon as X-Terra receives the licenses from the Natural Resources Ministry.
A 5,543 km airborne magnetic survey on the Rimouski, Rimouski North and Shawinigan projects in the St. Lawrence Lowlands was completed in September - October 2009. A detailed geophysical re-interpretation of this magnetic survey is in progress and the reports are expected to be completed by the end of July 2010. Preliminary results from this last study suggest structural fabrics which could generate targets on the three projects. These structural fabrics will be investigated by a geological field survey in August - September 2010 in order to renew the licenses with good potential targets. The licenses with no targets will not be renewed.
Lindsay Property
The drilling campaign on the Lindsay property has been completed. A total of three diamond drill holes totalling 358 m were planned on the Lindsay property. More than 110 samples were sent to a lab for assaying; however, no economic results were obtained from this drilling campaign.
