CALGARY, ALBERTA July 10, 2014 – US Oil Sands Inc. ("US Oil Sands" or the "Company") (TSXV: USO), a
company focused on oil sands exploration and production in Utah, recently welcomed The Honourable
Diana McQueen, Alberta Minister of Energy, and the Honourable Wayne Drysdale, Minister of
Transportation & Infrastructure, to tour its bitumen extraction pilot facility in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Management also welcomed Ross Chow, Vice President, Oil & Gas Sector, Alberta Innovates –
Technology Futures to learn about the Company’s environmentally sustainable bitumen extraction
technology.
“US Oil Sands developed this facility in
2007 and we’ve successfully
demonstrated the use of our
biodegradable, non-toxic bio-solvent
to extract bitumen from a variety of oil
sands,” said Cameron Todd, CEO of US
Oil Sands. “The Ministers’ visit will
bring awareness of our breakthrough
extraction process which eliminates
the need for tailings ponds and offers
numerous environmental and
economic benefits when compared to
current oil sands projects.”
The facility has allowed the Company
to optimize its extraction process,
improving bitumen recovery from a
broader range of oil sand ores, increasing solvent and water recovery, and reducing overall operating
costs. US Oil Sands’ Board of Directors recently approved a series of major project enhancements and
made the Final Investment Decision to proceed with construction of Phase 1 of the PR Spring Project in
Utah which is expected to achieve commercial production in the second half of 2015.
