PRESS RELEASE
Heavy Earth Resources Announces Signing of Share Purchase Agreement
August 29, 2013 – San Francisco, California: Heavy Earth Resources, Inc. ("Heavy Earth" or the "Company") (OTCQB: HEVI), an oil and gas exploration and production company focused in Central and South America, today announced that it entered into a securities share purchase agreement with Black Energy Oil & Gas Corp., a company based in Panama with principal operations in Colombia (“Black Energy”), for the sale of the Company’s subsidiary Deep Core, Inc., a Cayman Islands company (“Deep Core Cayman”), whose principal asset is DCX, S.A.S., a Columbian company, for US$1,500,000 plus the assumption of liabilities, including existing liabilities of US$6,000,000 for a total purchase price of $7,500,000. The transaction closed on August 28, 2013.
As a part of the transaction, the Company will retain a 15% participation interest in the Morichito Block, including a 100% carry up to US$10 million for the Morichito-5 (“M-5”) discovery well and for drilling of either the M5B well or another prospect.
The agreed upon work plan for Black Energy is to immediately begin operations for the commencement of production from the M-5 discovery well.
With the sale of the Deep Core Cayman asset, the Company will be able to focus on its La Maye asset while retaining a significant interest in the Morichito Block. The Company believes that Black Energy is the right partner to enable quick production in order to determine proven reserves. “Black Energy knows the Morichito Block, and its relationships in the field and in the communities will allow all parties to mutually benefit from their expertise. We expect production to commence before the end of 2013,” said Anthony Ives, Chief Financial Officer of Heavy Earth.
Located within producing trends of the prolific Llanos Basin, the Morichito-5 discovery has 2P crude reserves of approximately 1.45 million barrels, and the 3D seismic surveys covering the rest of the block have identified several prospects with a total P50 (most Likely) crude resource estimate of approximately 15.78 million barrels of oil. The block is surrounded by analog production including Pacific Rubiales Energy’s productive Cachicamo and Cravoviejo fields, CEPSA’s approximately 20,000 bopd Caracara field, and Hocol, S.A.’s approximately 20,000 bopd Guarrojo field.
