Drake Gold Resources Inc. (OTCKGR), a natural resources company with a focus in oil and gas, announces today a progress update on the company’s Myers Lease in Pennsylvania.

“Our operator has purchased pump jack motors, oil tanks and water tanks to replace substandard hardware. These are currently being installed to both abide by DEP rules and to maximize potential in terms of production output and revenues,” states Drake Gold Resources CEO, Peter Matousek.

He continues, “Upon installation, pipes will be connected from our wells to the tanks, where the water tank will contain the brine water necessary for treatment. Once re-assembled toward optimal output, we begin production immediately on a number of wells which require no further rework.” The company’s operator is confident that electricity will be installed next week and, weather permitting, wells will be producing oil in Q4 2012.

Matousek states, “This is truly groundbreaking for Drake Gold Resources, pun intended. This marks a specific catalyst in which the company will be generating product and revenues toward sustainable, long-term growth. In discussions between our operator and previous lease owner, the Myers lease is agreed to be the most promising once reworked.”

He continues, “I am thrilled with the progress we’ve made since July and feel that this is a sign of the times to come for Drake and its shareholders. As my father would say, “Trp?livost r?že p?ináší “, which means: Patience brings roses. It is a Czech proverb that I feel is befitting for all of us. I thank shareholders for the patience, support and opportunity I’ve been given to grow the company in a way that has been a long time coming.”

The company is confident the new initiative will result in all-time record operating revenues for Drake Gold Resources in 2013.
