Key Quote
Jay Leaver, President, said, “Similar to the Coral Project (see press release March 15, 2022) the Mercury Project is an acquisition featuring multiple shallow target zones with good infrastructure and existing production to be acquired at a competitive price. Additionally, the 80 acres of surface land will allow Alpha to establish a yard for its operations in Oklahoma. Together the Coral and Mercury Projects, both of which have existing production and multiple well bores suitable for restarts and re-works, will allow Alpha to cover both overhead and financing costs as it moves toward an uplisting onto a major stock exchange this year. Alpha is fulfilling its promise to its shareholders to establish a substantial and dynamic oil and gas company with deep expertise in development operations, exploration, and finance.”
