Well, License and Drilling Permit Received: Trans Canada Gold Corp. has received the necessary well license to drill its second multilateral well targeting the General Petroleum (GP) Zone near Lloydminster, Alberta. This new well is based on successful similar wells in the GP oil formation.

Partnership and Well Details: The well, located on lands controlled by a strategic partnership led by Croverro Energy, with Trans Canada holding an 18.75% interest, is expected to access over 8000 meters of the GP oil reservoir. Surface preparations are underway, with lease construction scheduled for completion by August 10th, 2024, and drilling set to begin mid-August.
Expansion and Future Potential: Trans Canada Gold has acquired an additional 320-acre parcel from Canpar (CN Pension Fund), Freehold Royalties and Rife Resources, increasing their land holdings and allowing for the drilling of up to four more multilateral wells. The newly acquired lands, along with existing ones, offer significant oil resource potential in both the Sparky and GP producing zones. The total cost for drilling and equipping the new well, which includes the cost of drilling, casing, and installing production equipment, is estimated at $2.2 million, with Trans Canada's share being $412,500, for which the company is fully funded.
