This strategic move represents a vital advancement as the restructured organization raises its ownership from an average of 35% to an impressive 95% working interest.
Highlights of the Acquisition
Recently, Prospera Energy secured an additional 7% working interest in the Hearts Hill, Luseland, and Cuthbert properties. In return, the company has agreed to forgive $1,233,000 in outstanding debts owed by its partner, while also taking on 100% working interest in the non-core Red Earth property along with its associated liabilities.
Acquisition of 10% Working Interest
Additionally, the company has completed a deal to acquire a 10% interest in the Cuthbert, Luseland, and Hearts Hill assets, which is valued at $600,000 CAD. This includes a payment of $400,000 spread over 16 months and $200,000 through the issuance of 3,076,923 shares at a price of $0.065 per share, subject to a six-month hold period and TSX approval.
