Esker Resources Ltd Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid
FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE Esker Resources Ltd. has filed a notice of intention, subject to regulatory approval, to make a normal course issuer bid with the Canadian Venture Exchange. If approved, the company will be authorized to purchase a total of 842,700 of its common shares, representing approximately 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares, for cancellation. The issuer bid will commence on October 26, 2000 and end on October 25, 2001, unless the total authorized shares are purchased before that date. The company will purchase the shares on the open market through the Canadian Venture Exchange by its agent Mr. Ralph Rea of RBC Dominion Securities of Calgary.
The company conducted a normal course issuer bid between May 3, 1999 and May 3, 2000, purchasing 532,500 common shares on the open market at an average price of $0.25 each. Esker believes that the buy back of its common shares represents good value for shareholders, as it believes that the market price represents a significant discount to the fair value of its shares.
Esker Resources Ltd. has calculated its net asset value to be $0.54 per share using a 10% discount factor before income taxes and a 2000 oil price of $20.30 US/bbl. WTI and Alberta gas price of $2.79/MMSTU as at January 1, 2000. The company's 1999 Annual Report mailed to shareholders on May 13, 2000 outlines the net asset value calculation. Since January 1, 2000 Esker has drilled or participated in 17 wells resulting in 7 gas wells, 7 oil wells and 3 dry holes (82% success ratio). Esker's 1999 calendar day average monthly production rate was 235 boe/d based on a conversion of gas to oil at 10:1. Esker's current production rate is approximately 340 boe/d (45% increase) and is expected to improve further before year-end.
Esker Resources Ltd. trades on the CDNX (Trading Symbol "ESR") and its telephone number is (403) 269-2367, fax number (403) 294-0287. Mr. Ian G. Holmes (President) may be contacted for clarification of any of this information.
This news release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risk factors associated with the oil and gas business. The company believes that the expectations reflected in this release are reasonable, but results may be affected by variables including, but not limited to, price fluctuations, currency fluctuations, industry competition, environmental risks, political risks and capital restrictions.
