MOBIUS RESOURCES ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF THIRD QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON ACTIVITIES

Mobius Resources Inc. (formerly Zodiac Exploration Inc.) has filed its financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2014, on SEDAR.

During the third quarter of the 2014 fiscal year, Mobius:

  • Continued evaluation of the Duvernay formation in the Snipe Lake area of Alberta and has subsequently obtained an initial well licence;
  • Completed the sale of approximately 4,285 net acres of land in the San Joaquin basin for gross proceeds of approximately $1,400 (U.S.), the reimbursement of approximately $150 (U.S.) of previous land lease payments, and relief from a drilling obligation of approximately $950 (U.S.), which had previously been reflected on the company's balance sheet; Mobius will retain overriding royalty interests in the land of up to 2 per cent;
  • Continued its continuing efforts to seek out partners to jointly develop Mobius's land or monetize the California properties through discussions with several companies;
  • Drilled an exploration well in Montana; based on the results of the well and subsequent reinterpretation of the seismic data, the company has decided not to drill a second exploration well necessary to earn an interest in the Montana acreage;
  • Recognized asset impairments of $33,700 related to its assets in California ($27,709), Montana ($3,135) and Nova Scotia ($2,856);
  • Ended the quarter with a cash balance of $9,265 and a working capital balance of $10,302.

Outlook

Mobius's technical team continues its work on the Duvernay play in Alberta aimed at selecting its first two drilling locations for the fall of 2014. The company has received a well licence and anticipates spudding its first Duvernay well in September, 2014, or October, 2014. The company is continuing its efforts to seek out partners to jointly develop Mobius's land or monetize the California properties. A successful transaction would allow the company to redeploy capital for exploration on its Alberta properties.

We seek Safe Harbor.
