Mobius Resources Announces Operational Update

As previously disclosed, Mobius intends to perform a special core study to collect the information necessary to continue to de-risk the play. Mobius expects that data and interpretations from the well and special core study will be received in a staged manner beginning shortly after drilling is complete, but that full analysis will not be complete until 2 to 3 months after the end of drilling activities.
Mr. Lee A. Pettigrew, President and CEO of Mobius, stated that, “the drilling activities have went largely as planned and, to date, are on time and on budget, which is a credit to the careful planning and skillful execution by our staff and contractors.”
The Company expects that the well will provide it with further evidence that the upper Duvernay and lower Duvernay formations, which are usually separated by a thick carbonate section in the Northern Kaybob area, are both accessible with the same horizontal well and completion in the Snipe Lake area. The combination of the accessibility of both the upper and lower Duvernay formations and the potential additional pay that may exist within the Majeau Lake formation could mean that the net accessible pay in many areas of Mobius’ lands would be similar to, or in some cases in excess of, the accessible net pay for wells that have been drilled to date in the Northern Kaybob area.
Mobius hopes that several technical parameters will compare favorably to those found in wells that have been drilled in Northern Kaybob. In particular, the Company hopes to see pay thickness of 20 to 35 meters, total organic content in the Duvernay and Majeau Lake of 1.0% to 5.0% and TMax between 440 and 450. Mobius also hopes to gather data to advance the theory that the formations are overpressured and can be hydraulically fractured.
Mobius is a top holder of Duvernay rights in Alberta with a total of 61,120 acres of land in central Alberta, primarily in the Duvernay and Nordegg formations (56,640 semi-contiguous 100% working interest acres in the Duvernay light oil resource window).
Mobius is continuing discussions with a company regarding the potential sale of a portion of its California acreage. Mobius is continuing to rationalize its California operations, electing to only extend leases which have been shown to be of significant interest to third parties. Other leases will not be continued and the Company expects that the California acreage position will continue to decrease. Mobius has subleased its California offices and reduced staffing levels to only essential staff. The Company’s cash outlay related to California lease rentals and direct general and administrative expenses will drop by approximately $3.5 million per year from historical levels.
