WESTFORT ANNOUNCES PROGRESS REPORT ON PELAHATCHIE DEEP UNIT 18-4 NO.1 NORPHLET WELL DRILLING

JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, June 1 /CNW/ - Westfort Energy, symbol (WT-TSE),
announced that the drilling of the Pelahatchie Deep Unit 18-4 has reached
12,300 ft as of 6:00 a.m. this morning. Drilling time is thus far ahead of
schedule with the use of new technology employing the latest designed drilling
bits and a down hole motor that has improved the rate of penetration and
allowed the drill bit to stay in the hole longer between changes. The company
is currently changing to the fifth drilling bit in the hole, compared to
drilling by Shell in the 1960's on an offset well where thirty-five bits had
been used to reach the same depth.
A mudlogging evaluation lab on the location has so far logged thirteen
oil and/or gas shows. These shows will be further evaluated to determine if
they are commercial when the company runs electrical logs and takes sidewall
core samples. The logging and coring is scheduled to be run before the company
sets the next string of casing, anticipated at 15,500 feet. The well is
expected to be drilled to a total depth of 17,350 feet.
The Toronto Stock Exchange has neither approved nor disapproved of this
release.

On behalf of the Board
