Outlook
In the current environment of depressed global commodity prices, the corporation plans to be conservative moving forward -- working to conserve cash flow and to select drilling locations that are economically viable. The corporation plans to work with its joint venture partner to evaluate production results at Fiske with the goal of creating a long-term exploitation strategy. 3MV is also exploring potential accretive acquisitions, mergers and farm-in opportunities in Saskatchewan that are arising from the current economic state.
We seek Safe Harbor.
