WINSTON-SALEM, NC--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 12, 2009 -- Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. (Other OTC:PMDP.PK - News), along with its partner, Plateau Mineral Development LLC, announced today that the company has acquired Evans Lease, a site boasting seven wells, four of which are high-pressured. Based on initial field reports and records, it was initially thought that only four wells would be commercial. Now Plateau has seven commercial wells with interconnecting pipeline already in place. This will save PMD approximately half of the 8500 ft of new pipeline initially thought to be needed. The firm has lined up a crew to work on extending the pipeline to 4,000 feet to tie the Evans wells into the main.
