Reabold has a 33% interest in Corallian. The drilling campaign is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.

"As many of Reabold's investments are now entering operational periods, we look forward to continuing to provide further updates on each as progress continues over the next few months," Oza continued.
