According to SISM analyst Schlotter: "Fox Petroleum became an E&P Company in early January of 2008 when the Spears Gas Unit 2, Well #1 came on production. Because of this success, Fox Petroleum now has the opportunity to participate in reworking approx. four more low risk oil and gas wells in West Texas during 2008, thus providing the Company with more production possibilities in the short-term future. In Kansas, the Company has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 320 acres in order to drill ten low risk/low cost wells during 2008, increasing overall production and revenue. In addition, Fox Petroleum is aggressively moving forward with its 2008 drilling program, with high priority on the Bourbon Prospects in the prolific sector of the UK North Sea as well as the Cook Inlet Prospect in Alaska."
Ernest Schlotter added: "During 2007, Fox Petroleum laid the ground work for an aggressive drilling program in 2008. In late 2007, the Company aggressively added additional leaseholds to its drilling portfolio and acquired 14,000 acres of prime land in the prolific Alaska North Slope bringing the total leasehold in this core area to 41,000 acres. Fox Petroleum also signed a Farm-in Agreement to acquire a 46% Working Interest in 24,500 acres in Block 211/17 South, which includes the Bourbon Prospect in the UK North Sea, by agreeing to drill an exploration well in 2008, bringing the total leasehold to 61,500 acres in this core area. In addition, Fox acquired eight new leases that total 42,000 acres in the Cook Inlet in Alaska in close proximity to many major production sites."
Analyst Schlotter concluded: "The next twelve to eighteen months are going to be very exciting for the Company. Fox Petroleum now has the technical know-how and the industry connections to move forward confidently in the optimization of its exploration and development plans for 2008, in onshore US and in the UK North Sea and in Alaska. In our view, Fox is undervalued and the sharp price correction during the last four months offers investors a great buying opportunity."
