Nostra Terra owns a 32.5% working interest ("WI") in the planned well, which includes a 25% carried WI and the remainder at cost.

Matt Lofgran, Nostra Terra 's Chief Executive Officer, said:

"We're delighted to see the progress Cypress is making and look forward to spudding the new well in the coming weeks. We're encouraged by the successful wells that have previously been drilled that offset both sides of the new planned well, further high-graded by 3D seismic data.

Nostra Terra has a significant interest in the new planned well and associated acreage. A successful well could increase reserves and, more importantly, near and long-term cashflow for the Company."
