VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 10, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:MSEV) wishes to announce that management is now looking into forward splitting its common shares as well as conducting a name change to better reflect its oil and gas business. Management believes these changes would benefit current shareholders and limit possible naked shorting that may have been occurring on the stock in the recent weeks.
Bernie McDougall, President of MSEV stated, "The company is progressing in terms of achieving our goal of becoming a mid-range oil and gas producer and we feel that a forward split of up to ten shares for each one share would be a tremendous benefit to the company while simultaneously rewarding our loyal shareholders. We feel that there may be some naked shorting occurring over the past few weeks and a split of the shares could limit this possible action. Considering we have just entered in the world's largest oil sands region, we want to maximize our share value going forward. We would also like to change the company's name to accurately reflect the Oil Sands business that we are now in. As it stands, MSEV is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta. These are tremendously exciting times for MSEV and MSEV's shareholders, and we plan to build the company to benefit our shareholders."
MSEV has also initiated the process of listing its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The process is expected to be completed within 2-6 six weeks. There are a large amount of junior resources companies that have listed on the Frankfurt Exchange which have received positive substantial exposure from the listing. The monies needed for the listing have been forwarded and accepted for this application
MSEV has recently announced its entry in the Athabasca region of Alberta, Canada, which is the world's largest Oil Sands region. This new Oil Sands project is located just south of Fort McMurray, Alberta and is in close proximity to major Oil Sands projects by Devon, Encana, and Conoco Philips. At a recent presentation, Encana's COO stated that Encana's Christina Lake Prospect, which is within 15 miles of MSEV's new prospect, could grow to produce 250,000 barrels per day. The closest Oil Sands project adjacent to MSEV's new project is the Whitesands Project that has stated reserves of 1.3 billion barrels of oil in place and has just initiated the start-up of a test plant.
MSEV is an emerging oil and gas company that has exposure to the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is the largest Oil Sands region in the world and has production from conventional multiple oil and gas wells. MSEV is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to the Alberta Oil Sands. MSEV's goal is to become a junior oil and gas producer that focuses on the exploration, discovery and delivery of gas and oil to the North American marketplace. MSEV currently has multiple independent sources of oil and/or gas revenue from production in Canada and Texas. MSEV is presently involved in multiple oil and gas prospects, and continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building MSEV's market capitalization including additional Oil Sands projects.
