Gastem (TSX VENTURE:GMR) is pleased to announce that the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation has authorized Gastem USA to
hydraulically fracture the Marcellus Shale formation in the Ross No. 1 well and
stimulate the upper section of the Utica Shale in the Sheckell's No. 1 well. The
fracture treatments will evaluate the production potential of these zones that
could substantially increase the per well recoverable resource base in the two
wells which previously had only stimulated the lower Utica shale section..
Gastem has an 80% working interest in more than 33,000 acres of leases,
primarily in Otsego County, and is operator of the project. 


Weatherford Laboratories, an independent reservoir engineering firm, recently
completed the Ross No. 1 Original Gas-in-Place (OGIP) Report. The report
presents the OGIP for the Utica and Marcellus shale formations using core data
collected from the Ross No1 well. The results present a total OGIP for the
Marcellus and Utica shale formations of 144.98 Bcf per 640 acres (1 square mile)
with a 50% probability. The Weatherford report results are consistent with known
Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale parameters and indicate comparable OGIP Volume,
porosity and Total Organic Content. 


"The Weatherford report confirms our estimate of the excellent Marcellus and
Utica shale potential in this area of New York State. However, the report does
not include an evaluation of the Oneida Sands, a promising conventional
formation situated between the Marcellus and the Utica on our properties and we
expect to test and evaluate the Oneida formation shortly," stated Mr. Raymond
Savoie, Chairman and CEO of Gastem. "The approved frac tests of the Marcellus
and the Upper Utica are key to providing access in the very near future to a
locally generated, clean and environmentally friendly natural gas to serve local
residential and commercial needs."


Gastem is an independent oil and gas exploration and development company based
in Montreal. The company holds exploration and storage permits and rights in the
St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Gaspe Peninsula and the Magdalen Islands in Quebec.
Gastem USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gastem, has leases, rights and
interests in New York State and Virginia.
