News Release
GOLDEN ARCH TO BEGIN DRILLING FOR OIL & GAS IN WYOMING
&
TEXAS OIL & GAS WELL IS NOW BEING PUT ON PRODUCTION
Vancouver April 3, 2000- Golden Arch Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce that
equipment is now being moved on site to build location and begin drilling of the
DRISCOLL 22-19 well on the Company's 10% owned MADREN DRAW PROSPECT in
Wyoming. The well will be drilled to the Fall River (Dakota) Formation at an
approximate depth of 5,500 feet. The principle drilling objective is to discover Oil & Gas
in the Channel Sands of the Fall River (Dakota) Formation. Further to the company?s
news release of March 29, the Company will issue 200,000 common shares of the
company to be carried to casing point for a 7% working interest in the initial test well to
be drilled on the prospect.
The Madren Draw Prospect covers 3,400 acres and is located in Weston County,
Wyoming. It lies within the famous oil & gas producing region known as the Powder
River Basin in northeastern Wyoming. Two extensive geologic studies have been
completed on the Prospect, both of which conclude that the Madren Draw may have
geological similarities to a discovery in the Fall River (Dakota) Formation in 1958 known
as the Coyote Creek Oil & Gas Field. To date the Coyote Creek Field has produced over
30 Million Barrels of Oil & 25 Billion Cubic feet of Gas. The Coyote Creek Field lies 7
miles northwest of the Madren Draw Prospect.
It has also been reported that the company?s 10% owned Warren/Thurmond #2 well
located on the 2,600 acre Camp Colorado Prospect in Coleman County, Texas is now
being tied in to the production facility. In reference to Golden Arch News release dated
March 29, 2000 the Warren/Thurmond #2 well flow tested at 98.6 Barrels of Oil / Day
and 520,000 Cubic feet of Gas / Day on a 18/64 inch choke and open flow tested at
700,000 Cubic feet of Gas / Day. With two wells currently producing on this Prospect, a
further development drilling program is now in the planning stages.
