150 million net contingent barrels of oil wet oil sands here in the United States for $0.22 per barrel.  Management estimates breakeven oil price to be $45 per barrel (oil wet oil sands are substantially cheaper to process than the water wet oil sands in Canada - i.e. no tailing ponds).  Management also claims that it has the potential to access additional contingent resources of up to ~950 million barrels through acquisition and leasing adjacent tracts.

Company needs financing.  Terms to be determined.  I will watch until financing plays out.

Other oil sands companies in Utah include U.S. Oil Sands (UERLF) and MCW Energy Group Ltd. (MCWEF)
