SOURCE ROCK ROYALTIES ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL ALBERTA CROWN MINERAL LEASES

SRR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Source Rock Royalties announced the joint‑acquisition of an additional 31 sections (19,840 acres) of Alberta Crown mineral rights under its Leasing JV partnership.
  • The new leases consist of 15 sections (9,600 acres) of 15‑year oil sands leases and 16 sections (10,240 acres) of 5‑year petroleum & natural gas (PNG) leases, all held 50% by Source Rock.
  • The acquisition expands the company’s undeveloped land base, providing near‑term drilling exposure and long‑term upside through potential farm‑out arrangements.

Key Details

  • Leasing JV Structure: Joint‑acquisition agreement with a private company (“JV Co”) led by a professional geologist; Source Rock holds 50% of all acquired leases.
  • Lease Portfolio Added:
  • 15 sections (9,600 acres) – 15‑year oil sands leases.
  • 16 sections (10,240 acres) – 5‑year PNG leases.
  • Total added: 31 sections (19,840 acres).
  • Geographic Focus: Mineral rights prospective for heavy‑oil horizons within the Mannville Stack; targeted for multi‑lateral drilling technologies.
  • Strategic Rationale:
  • Build an undeveloped land base that can be farmed out to operators in exchange for royalty interests.
  • Provide exposure to near‑term drilling by high‑quality operators and long‑term upside via early‑stage entry into less developed areas.
  • Future Plans: Parties will continue evaluating, posting for leasing, and bidding on additional Crown mineral leases.
