Wilrich Sandstone Gas Test at Tomahawk Property, Central Alberta

Artisan has completed a fracture stimulation and flow test of the Wilrich sandstone on its previously drilled vertical well at 1-20-52-7W5 (the "Wilrich Test") and results have exceeded management's expectations. During 130 hours of clean-up of the fracture stimulation, flow from the Wilrich Test increased to a relatively stable rate of 30,500 cubic metres per day @ 1,325 kPag (1,080 mcf/d @ 192 psig).
