49 North Resources Inc.

Ashley Drobot P.Geo, President and CEO of Allstar Energy Limited, is very encouraged with the results from the drilling of the horizontal wells at Kindersley. "We have been successful in drilling all 5 holes through what appears to be a very promising Viking zone.

The wells were drilled to total depths of between 1557m and 1614m with average horizontal leg lengths of about 780m. Based on the results of the drilling, BJ's Services has designed 12 stage fracturing programs to stimulate the wells.
