Blackbird Energy Inc. announce its first horizontal well targeting the Upper Montney at the Company's Elmworth Project. Subject to license approval, the well is to be spud in Q4 2014 at location 10-26-70-07W6, and will be drilled to a depth of approximately 2,300 meters with a horizontal reach of approximately 2,700 meters.

The Elmworth Project is 100% owned by Blackbird and has been geologically de-risked by the drilling of industry leaders nearby.

Blackbird has recently also added one new contiguous section of land to the Elmworth land package, bringing the Company's current land position to 32 sections (20,480 net acres) in the over pressured oil/field condensate window, with 28 of such sections being contiguous.
