Jayhawk
Energy, Inc. Announces the Acquisition of a Light Oil Play
in
North Dakota and the Closing of a $4,000,000 Financing
BROOMFIELD,
Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jayhawk Energy, Inc. (OTCBB:JYHW) (News "Jayhawk")
announces the signing of a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition
of
the Candak property from JED OIL (USA) INC.
This
acquisition places Jayhawk into a daily 65bbls net of light oil production
and
operation in the Candak property. Jayhawk also acquires a 15,500-acre land
position with this acquisition. The lands are strategic in a highly active
area
by other operators in the Williston Basin play in North Dakota and across
the border into Canada. Candak's stable production of light oil from its low
well count and significant undeveloped land base places Jayhawk in a high
potential growth position to develop the light oil play. The closing on this
transaction is expected to occur on January 25th, 2008.
"This
is the first of our strategic acquisitions,"
stated Lindsay Gorrill,
President & CEO of Jayhawk Energy,
"as we continue to
fulfill
our strategic plan in targeting light crude
opportunities in addition to developing our Uniontown CBM play in
Kansas
."
Gorrill
has identified multiple upside potentials of adding multi laterals in existing
horizontal wells and stimulations to existing wells, stepping out from existing
stable producers, and executing additional drilling targets in single or multi
lateral new drills in the significant acreage size. "The Candak property is a
strategic start with a length of integrity and upsides over time for Jayhawk
and
its shareholders", Mr. Gorrill added.
To
finance the acquisition of the Candak property, Jayhawk completed a private
placement of approximately $4,000,000. Specifically, Jayhawk sold 2,666,667
units at a purchase price of $1.50 per unit, each unit consisting of (a) one
share of common stock, $.001 par value per share and (b) one warrant which
will
provide to the holder the right to purchase one share of Jayhawk's common stock
at a purchase price of $1.60 and which expires one year from the date that
Jayhawk accepted the subscription.
Cautionary
Note to U.S. Investors -- The United States Securities and Exchange Commission
permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only
proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or
conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under
existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in this press
release, such as probable, possible and potential, that the SEC's guidelines
strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. Examples
of
such disclosures would be statements regarding "probable", "possible", or
"recoverable" reserves among others.
Management
hopes these transactions will bring additional value to the shareholders of
JayHawk Energy. There is no guarantee that the projects that JayHawk has
recently acquired will increase the value of its shares of common stock, or
that
JayHawk will acquire rights to explore and operate any other such projects,
or
that in the event that it acquires rights to explore and operate other such
projects, that these actions will be successful or increase the value of
JayHawk's common stock.
This
press release may contain forward-looking information within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those
sections. There are many factors that could cause our expectations and beliefs
about our plans to acquire additional exploration or production properties,
our
plans to drill or our drilling results to fail to materialize: competition
for
new acquisitions, availability of capital, unfavorable geologic conditions,
the
complexity of coal bed methane exploration and production, and prevailing prices
for natural gas and general regional economic conditions. JayHawk assumes no
obligation to update the information contained in this press
release.
