Kevin Watts, Stratic's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are now only 7 months away from the planned West Don production start-up, which will generate significant revenue for the company for the first time. At $100 a barrel oil prices, our share of the field is estimated to net $100 million of operating cash flow over the first 12 months of production, which will allow us to explore more aggressively and expand further our drilling campaign, recently commenced with the Breagh well. Over the next year from now we have drilling planned to target net unrisked resources of over 3 times our existing booked reserves, and if successful this would transform Stratic's asset base.
