VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Micron Enviro Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:MENV) (Frankfurt:NDD) ("Micron") has been waiting to get underway on its Oil Sands and conventional drill programs. Micron is anticipating that this winter will be an extremely busy time for the company in terms of oil and gas activities. Micron is evaluating additional oil and gas prospects at this time to complement its existing oil sands leases and conventional drill programs.
Bernie McDougall, President of Micron stated, "This has been a very frustrating period for MENV's loyal shareholders and management as we are experiencing a quiet period before our projects start up again. The stock is now down more than 80% below the recent high, despite now having more Alberta oil sands assets and being further along on our projects. Most investors are not aware of the company's new symbol, therefore as activities re-start, market awareness should increase as MENV's story is disseminated further under the new symbol."
Micron has added three additional Alberta Oil Sands leases consisting of 4 new sections in the world-class Athabasca Oil Sands region. Two of these new sections are within 5 miles of Micron's existing Athabasca Oil Sands Prospect. These two new sections are close to the existing Oil Sands leases held by Connacher Oil and Gas's Great Divide Prospect, as well as to other major Oil Sands projects by Devon, EnCana, and ConocoPhilips. The other new Alberta Oil Sands lease acquired consists of two contiguous sections that lie just southwest of the announced Royal Dutch Shell Plc Oil Sands leases which they recently purchased for approximately $400 million.
Micron is planning to undertake a new marketing initiative to create additional awareness for the company as drill programs start up. There has been no marketing since the company changed its symbol, therefore management feels the market may not be aware of what the company is doing. This plan will primarily be email-based and will target 100 percent opt-in private and institutional investors that trade stocks in Micron's price range.
Micron is an emerging oil and gas company that has exposure to four separate leases in the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada, which is the largest Oil Sands region in the world, and has production from multiple conventional oil and gas wells. Micron is one of if not the smallest market capitalized companies with exposure to multiple Alberta Oil Sands. Micron'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. Micron currently has multiple independent sources of oil and/or gas revenue from production in Canada and Texas. Micron is presently involved in multiple oil and gas prospects, and continues to look for additional projects that would contribute to building Micron's market capitalization, including additional Oil Sands projects.
