("Key") has purchased the assets, properties and rights of Leader's coiled tubing, cementing, and acidizing services involved in the Company's United States operations.

Proceeds from this agreement will be used to pay out the Company's current credit facility debt, pay out all vehicle lease obligations, fund working capital requirements and create a small capital expenditure budget to increase the Company's fleet of nitrogen and coiled tubing equipment in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. The Company anticipates saving more than $6 million in annual interest charges by eliminating its current credit facility debt.
