“... is confident that merging the assets of 88E & XCD Energy, combined w/the potential upside offered, places the combined group in a strong position to fill the growing investment void in the ASX / AIM-listed oil and gas sector.”
“...the transaction provides XCD Energy shareholders w/the opportunity to become shareholders of a company w/significantly increased scale & demonstrated operational capability that is focussed on the world-class oil potential of the North Slope of Alaska.”
“With the deal now largely complete, the combined group has a net lease position of around 520,000 acres, or over 2,100 square kilometres in one of the world’s richest hydrocarbon basins.”

"...with the addition of lease AA095899 which is adjacent to the existing Yukon Leases held by Regenerate Alaska Inc anticipated to assist in advancing continuing discussions with nearby resource owners to optimise the monetisation strategy of the acreage."
