SENTRY PETROLEUM ANNOUNCES AWARD OF LARGE COAL TENAMENT, HIGHLIGHTS COAL SEAM GAS PROSPECTIVITY IN EROMANGA BASIN
Denver, Colorado (FSC - June 18, 2010)
Sentry Petroleum Ltd (OTCBB:SPLM) announced today the award of EPC 1758, a prospective thermal coal exploration tenement in the Eromanga basin situated within Sentry's existing oil and gas explorations tenements. An initial review of the area indicates significant prospectivity in the Winton Coal formation. The Cretaceous Winton and Mackunda Formations are composed of interbedded mudrock, sandstone, coal and carbon-bearing mudrock. An initial review of well completion reports indicate multiple coal sections.
A Company representative commented, "The award by the Department of Mines and Energy of EPC 1758 enables us to control specific rights on prospective coal seam gas potential within ATP 862. We see significant promise and wanted to lock up the rights as soon as we could - With the award of EPC 1758 we have done it".
On regional prospectivity the company advises on an announced deposits of coal in permits 100km to the east of the Sentry Application area by Australian miner, East Energy Ltd. East Energy washability data indicate a medium ash product with generally good yields, which are suitable for thermal coal markets.
Sentry further advises that potential coals within EPC 1758 area are more deeply buried and hence possibly higher grade. EPC 1758 covers an area located closer to the sub-basin depocentre, which should allow thicker coal seams to have been deposited.
The company advises that an initial program will be designed to systematically confirm,
delineate, and appraise the potential so that production feasibility can be ascertained. Specifically, loading digital well data, seismic data, and remote sensing data for subsequent mapping of prospective accumulations. Initial drilling phases will include coring and analysis of coal quality, with a follow up phase of more detailed infill drilling, then delineation of the resource to possible reserves status.
