U.S. Oil & Gas Plc ("USOIL" or the "company") announced two permits to drill awarded, Eblana-3 and Eblana-6. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Division of Minerals (NDOM) have approved Permits to Drill for Eblana-3 and Eblana-6 in Hot Creek Valley. The application to drill Eblana-1a, the most complex of the company's three proposed drills, is still under review. In order to make rapid operational progress, the company has decided to move ahead with preparations for drilling Eblana-3 and Eblana-6, both vertical wells. The company's view at this time is that it will drill Eblana-3 first, deciding on subsequent operations in the light of results. Eblana-3 and Eblana-6 target updip Tertiary zones, while Eb-6 is also intended to drill deeper to the Paleozoics. Both are vertical wells. Groundworks, including road improvements, drill pad construction and access ways, will commence as soon as practicable. Now that permits have been granted, terms can be finalised with the selected drilling contractor and other vendors, and activities coordinated.
