WC 35 State No. 1 is the initial test well on this property. The well has a proposed total depth of approximately 11,600 feet and is targeting oil and natural gas in the Pennsylvanian aged Cisco formation.

"We are very pleased that CML has commenced drilling operations on the Sombrero prospect. If successful, this property has good development potential and will add further value to the Company through increased cash flows and oil and natural gas reserves.
