Drake Gold Resources Inc. Announces Completion of the 100%
Acquisition of Pegasus Oil Well Services with Projected Revenue of
$2.3 Million for 2006
Monday July 10, 12:01 pm ET
CENTURY CITY, CALIFORNIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 10, 2006 -- Drake Gold
Resources, Inc. (Other OTC:DKGR.PK - News) is pleased to announce the
100% acquisition of Pegasus Cementers Inc. D.B.A. Pegasus Oil Well
Services which is projected to do up to $2,300,000 USD of revenues
for 2006.
The projections are based on the current contracts and the expansion
model with Drake Gold over the next 6 months and will increase as new
contracts are signed for Pegasus Oil Well Services (POWS). Drake Gold
plans to purchase and develop 4 cementers, 1-2 fracturing units and
one coiled tubing unit to fulfill existing contracts and new
business. Drake also has plans to manufacture or purchase drilling
rigs as Drake Oil starts to expand into the purchase of new leases
and the development of those leases.
Pegasus is a San Antonio based company that services all of South
Texas with a growing list of services. Most up to date information
will be on the website. (http://www.pegasusoilwellservices.com) Drake
Gold plans to expand both to Midland Texas and North Texas with the
oil well services. The known petroleum deposits of Texas--about 8
billion barrels--make up approximately one-third of the known U. S.
supply. The size of the market for oil well services is massive to
say the least and Drake Gold plans to capitalize on it to the fullest.
The acquisition is for all restricted stock which is restricted for
over 2 years. The purchase price for Pegasus Oil Well Services is
$1.8 M and will be paid in 4 restricted stock payments between now
and the end of the year.
Thomas Gouger IV, Drake Gold's subsidiaries president and operator
commented on the acquisition, "This is a great day for Pegasus Oil
Well Services to be allied with an emerging company like Drake Gold,
we are very excited about our new parent company and our plans to
further grow together!"
As previously mentioned,
"The company plans to expand operations to include complete well
services for wells above 10,000 ft. in depth including acidization
treatments, cementing, and drilling operations. Pegasus is a growing
service provider specializing in cementing for shallow oil, gas, and
water wells in the South Texas area.
The company began operations in November of 2001 with the first
several months being devoted to training personnel, acquiring, and
modifying needed equipment. The company became more active over the
first 3 years solidifying its foundation in 2004. Operating with only
one cementing unit, its sales for 2005 exceeded $600,000 over a
shortened year due to a mechanical rebuild of its main unit.
The company plans on adding additional cementing units, hydraulic
fracturing units, drilling rigs, and other needed services, with the
intent of becoming a one-stop shop for the oil business. With the
growing demand for oil and gas operations in the Texas arena revenues
are expected to continue to rise.
For Drake, the addition of a full service oil well company will make
the advancements into oil and gas development hastened and is
lowering capital needed to begin operations. The market today makes
it very difficult to schedule equipment needed to perform these
services so having them in-house gives Drake the ability to move
consistently from project to project without any delays while
minimizing risk.
Furthermore, Drake has already made a series of advancements into
acquiring oil and gas leases, projects and potential joint ventures
to build its portfolio of petroleum operations. The current
acquisition and connections already within the industry have located
prime targets in South Texas, the Barnett Shale in Texas, California
and Louisiana. With the new service division it makes it very easy to
obtain projects for low costs and entice current operators to
entertain joint ventures.
The Drake team believes acquiring Pegasus Well Services is a step in
the right direction -- it minimizes the risk of oil and gas
exploration while building solid well-margined cash flows."
