The drill program is meeting the objectives set out by Deep Well. Since the spudding of the well at location 12-14-092-13W5 on December 4, 2008, it has drilled four more wells at locations 09-16, 10-33, 07-05 and 08-04. Deep Well is presently drilling the sixth well of this Drilling Season at location 06-22. Initial laboratory analysis of the cores of well 12-14 and 09-16 confirms exploitable crude bitumen.

The cores and logs of the 12-14 and 09-16 wells revealed the oil bearing 25 - 35 meters (82 to 115 feet) of the Bluesky Zone with a net pay from 5 - 12 meters (16 to 39 Feet). The cores for the other three wells drilled to date are at the lab and are currently being analyzed. The analysis of wells 07-05 and 08-04 are being processed while well 10-33, drilled as an evaluation well to determine the edge of the Bluesky reservoir, has established the southern limit of the Sawn Lake Project. The other four wells drilled (12-14, 09-16, 07-05 and 08-04) are scheduled to be cased, perforated, completed and tested for production.
