Edge Increases Credit Facilities from $4.5 million to $17.35 million and Provides Strategy Update

06.07.2011  |  Marketwired

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/06/11 -- Edge Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: EDE) ('Edge' or the 'Company') announces a significant increase in its credit facilities with its current lender, Canadian Western Bank.


The Company has an ability to increase the facility to $18 million, which would result in a four-fold increase in lending value.


The increased facilities, which are primarily based on the recently updated NI 51-101 independent engineering report (see May 25, 2011 press release), consist of a $10.35 million (anticipated to increase to $11 million) revolving operating demand credit facility and a $7 million non-revolving acquisition/development demand facility. The facilities are scheduled for review on May 31, 2012, but may be reviewed at any time at the sole discretion of our lender.


The increased facilities allow Edge to focus on the continued growth of its current assets, production and land position while utilizing the least expensive form of capital. As such, when the wet 'spring breakup' conditions subside (expected in July, depending on weather), the Company intends to continue its drilling, completion and tie-in programs.


Brad Nichol, President and CEO of Edge commented, 'I am pleased that our lenders are supportive of our vision of being leaders at assembling and managing high-quality natural gas assets during this low-point in the natural gas cycle. They support the management team's ability to balance short-term cash flow generation with long-term value creation, which is critical to the continued implementation of our counter-cyclical strategy. Additionally, their facilities allow Edge to actively acquire high-quality assets with little competition, at highly favourable terms during this low point in the natural gas cycle.'


Edge has now earned or acquired a total of 23 sections of Edmonton Sands natural gas property and has executed agreements that allow for up to another 27 sections of prospective Edmonton Sands property to be earned.


The Company is actively negotiating additional agreements during the current low point in the natural gas cycle and hopes to announce asset additions in the future.


Edmonton Sands Strategy


There are two components to Edge's Corporate Strategy:



1. Assemble a large natural gas-focused land position during the low point
of the natural gas cycle,

2. Outperform future natural gas price appreciation by utilizing the
management team's expertise:
a. A bespoke geological approach,
b. Differentiated fracturing techniques,
c. Low operational costs and capital efficiency,
d. Very high success rate based on a low-risk profile.


Edge's management team has a proven ability to implement the second component of the strategy through a highly differentiated approach, which has resulted in above average performance.


This unique corporate strategy allows Edge to utilize the low gas prices to its advantage. The Company currently generates positive cash-flow, even at today's low gas prices, and is simultaneously building a large, high-quality asset base for the future.


About Edge Resources Inc.

The management team's very high success rate is based on the safe, efficient deployment of capital and a proven ability to efficiently execute in shallow formations, which gives Edge Resources a sustainable, low-cost, competitive advantage.
