Platina Energy Orders Independent Third-Party Evaluation of its Palo Duro Basin Prospect

CHEYENNE, Wyoming--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Platina Energy Group, Inc. (OTCBB:PLTG - News; FWB:O5Y) (BCN:O5Y) (GER:O5Y) (STU:O5Y) is pleased to announce that it has recently hired an independent third party to prepare an evaluation report for the Palo Duro Basin shale prospect. Current contract agreements held by Platina are for over 20,000 gross acres.
"The Palo Duro Basin shale formation has been a long time coming. Estimates by a Morgan Stanley report clearly indicate its potential viability, including additional pay-zones outside of the major natural gas reservoirs," said Mr. Blair Merriam, CEO of Platina Energy Group, Inc. "We will be providing additional information regarding this asset to shareholders as soon as it is available. The data that will be provided by the independent report should further confirm our reserve speculations for the property. We believe that the Company contract holdings could contain considerable recoverable reserves. Until we have enough information from reliable sources, it is just too early to know."
According to a Morgan Stanley report (Click Here For: Morgan Stanley Research Report, http://www.beaconequityresearch.com/report/PLTG_Morgan_Stanley.pdf) and subsequent recent data published in a major trade journal, the Palo Duro Basin shale formation may be as much or potentially more prolific than the Barnett Shale, a region famed for its significant natural gas reserves.
