Eros Agrees to Acquire an Interest in the
Flaxcombe Heavy Oil Field, Saskatchewan
Vancouver, BC (February 6, 2017) Eros Resources Corp. (TSX.V: ERC) (“Eros” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to acquire a working interest in three vertical wells
to be drilled on the Flaxcombe heavy oil field, wholly owned by Westcore Energy Ltd. (TSX.V: WTR).
Eros will invest up to $1,600,000 to acquire a 90% working interest in the wells until its investment is
recovered and a 50% working interest thereafter. In addition, Eros will maintain a right of first refusal to
participate on the same terms on two s ubsequent drill programs to be drilled on the same lands, to a
maximum of $1,600,000 per future drill-program.
The Flaxcombe field is located 30 kilometres west of Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Current production from
four conventional wells is approximate ly 85 barrels of oil per day in total and there remain additional
standing well -bores and shut -in production which can be re -initiated at any time. The field has been
optimized with the use of WTR’s 100% owned water disposal facility, water and oil haulage capability and
the use of casing gas to power the wells and to heat storage tanks. Westcore’s operating team has a
proven track record of success in heavy oil production in Saskatchewan.
The 3 well program is designed to drill offset locations to Westcore’s existing production wells at
Flaxcombe. It is anticipated that the drill program will commence in mid February with the intent of having
all three wells on production before break-up.
R. Stewart, Eros CEO stated, “ This investment offers the po tential to generate near -term cash flow for
Eros and provides the company with the option to participate in subsequent programs at our election,
providing it meets our expectations.”
