from yesterdays news "This is an exciting time for our company. We are now entering the busy spring and summer construction season. We have already begun experiencing strong demand for our crushed gravel services" said Darcy Hird, President and CEO of Prairie Oil Field Services. "In order to meet the high demand, we are in the final stages of acquiring a 160-acre quarry in Manitoba. The quarry will significantly increase our inventory of crushed gravel and allow us to begin mining and marketing a more diversified product line, including shale and stone specialty products. The all-cash transaction is expected to be non-dilutive to shareholders and close within the next 15 days," concluded Darcy Hird.
