“We are very pleased with the results of the Montana State Land Sale, as the acquisition of these long term leases enables Primary to fill in the some of the gaps in its contiguous lease holdings in order to move forward with our 3D seismic and drilling program.” “As the largest contiguous lease holder south of the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Western Montana, Primary is well positioned to exploit its current land holdings through the implementation of a 3D seismic, multi-well vertical and horizontal drilling program that it intends to execute through the balance of 2011.”
