PanTerra "SEDAR" Files 2006 Statement of Reserves Data
Friday March 2, 8:00 am ET


PAN - TSXV
CALGARY, March 2 /CNW/ - PanTerra Resource Corp. (The "Company") wishes to report that it has received its 2006 Engineering Report by Sproule Associates Limited ("Sproule") of Calgary, Alberta and has SEDAR filed the 'Statement of Reserves Data' as per regulatory requirements.
Sproule has assigned 'Discovered Resources' to the Company in compliance with Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook definitions and is able to disclose such resources as in-place volumes. 'Discovered Resources' are defined in the COGE Handbook a, "those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be remaining in, plus those quantities already produced from, known accumulations. Discovered resources are divided into economic and uneconomic categories, with the estimated future recoverable portion classified as reserves and contingent resources, respectively."

On the effective date (December 31, 2006) of the Sproule report, not all the data supplied by the Company to the specialty lab in the USA was completely evaluated thus not all of the properties the Company operates have been assigned in-place volumes at the time of our SEDAR filing.

Although the Company has discovered gas resources in the Foam Lake and Shell Lake properties, those resources have not been recognized in this report because insufficient data is available to permit a quantitative estimate of the in-place volumes to be made at this time.
The Company has now been assigned 'discovered resources' which is a significant advancement from 'prospective resources' (quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered) as reported in its November 3, 2006 press release.

While the Sproule report considers that "gas has been discovered" on the Company's holdings at Shell Lake and Foam Lake, more data for gas in-place estimates will have to be supplied by the Company. Sproule does however state that from the core data supplied by the Company, the holdings at Foam Lake could "contain gross raw gas in place in the order of 4.5 to 6.5 Bcf/section, for a total gas-in-place volume of 3.0 to 6.0 TCF. However, these estimates have not been recognized for the holdings at this time because the 'adsorption data' neither confirms nor quantifies the in-place gas content of the shales."

In order to satisfy Sproule's requirements, the Company wishes to announce that it will be drilling two additional wells in the very near future. One at Shell Lake and one at Foam Lake and will do 'desorption canister analyses' of the cores it intends to cut. Once this data has been received and analyzed, the Company will have Sproule do an addendum to its 2006 report.

The Company's principal targets of interest on the exploratory permits lie within the shales, siltstones and thinly bedded sands of the Milk River, First and Second White Speckled shale and Barons formations which are Upper Cretaceous in age and occur at shallow depths in the province of Saskatchewan. The Company is pursuing accumulations of 'biogenic gas' in these unconventional reservoirs.

Since acquiring these large land holdings, the Company (as Operator) has participated in the drilling of 39 wells, of which 2 were at Shell Lake, 16 at Foam Lake, 16 at Moose Jaw and 5 at WhiteHill Lakes. The Company maintains a 50% working interest in all of its current holdings in the province of Saskatchewan.

Although discovered resources are interpreted to exist on the Company's properties, there is no certainty that they will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce any portion of those discovered resources.

As of the effective date of the Sproule Report, the Company has neither tested nor completed any of the wells and has not demonstrated that the shale-gas resource is technically or economically recoverable. Thus no proved, probable or possible reserves have been assigned to the holdings, which are considered as unproved and undeveloped at this time.

A suitable completion technique has not been developed for the target formations. Until the Company can demonstrate that the shale gas can be economically produced, no reserves can be assigned to these holdings.

PanTerra Resource Corp. is an Alberta-based resource company focused on the exploration and development of unconventional shallow and shale gas. The Company holds three exploration permits and four licenses for a total of 1.1-million acres (550,000 acres net) on four properties in Saskatchewan. PanTerra trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "PAN". Further information can be found at www.panterraresource.com.
