focused to delineate, develop and grow its Clearwater properties. Highwood plans to drill
an additional five to 10 gross (2.5 to 5.0 net) Clearwater oil wells before year-end. Highwood
continues to benefit from substantial industry delineation activity
around its existing Clearwater
land position, and is encouraged by recent drilling results which
have validated an expansion to the prospective fairway. Today,
Highwood has re-commenced its drilling program in the Nipisi region
of the Clearwater play.
