Perth, Western Australia – [insert date] - Brookside Energy Limited ( ASX: BRK ) ( Brookside or the Company ) is pleased to provide a further update on its successful leasing and acquisition activities across the Anadarko Basin Plays in Oklahoma, US.

-
Continuing to successfully target the up-dip liquids rich “core” within Brookside’s leasing focus areas along the Anadarko Basin margin
-
Merger and acquisition activity as well as development and production results from across the plays continue to provide upward momentum for undeveloped acre valuations and confirm Brookside’s acreage accumulation and re-valuation business model
-
Leasing and acquisition activities continue as the Company builds on its premier asset position in these high-margin repeatable plays
Brookside, through the efforts of its partner and manager of US operations Black Mesa Production, LLC ( Black Mesa ), is continuing to increase its Working Interest leasehold acreage position in the world-class Anadarko Basin plays.
Our continued efforts have delivered further success with the Company’s Working Interest leasehold acreage count reaching approximately 2,000 acres, a 17% increase in less than two-months. This increase in holdings is all located within Brookside’s leasing focus areas. This leasing success has been achieved in a highly competitive environment and importantly, our team has maintained its disciplined approach, exclusively targeting acreage in the up-dip liquids rich “core ” along the Anadarko Basin margin.
The Company’s total Anadarko Basin holdings now stand at approximately 2,100 acres (inclusive of the previously announced RA Minerals Royalty Acreage which is currently being developed by NYSE listed independent, Continental Resources, Inc.).
Brookside remains committed to capturing additional core acreage through the balance of calendar 2018. The Company is continuing to move quickly to capitalise on a short window in which to build on its material position in the high-margin repeatable parts of the Anadarko Basin Plays.
This latest surge in leasing has been funded via the previously announced US$3.0 million Anadarko Leasing Facility, provided by Oklahoma Energy Consultants, Inc. ( OEC ). This asset level funding is enabling Brookside, to continue to aggressively pursue its leasing and acquisition activities in the Anadarko Basin. In addition, the Company has commenced discussions with OEC, to expand this facility to provide further leasing and acquisition liquidity.
