OUTLOOK
On November 30, 2011, Border achieved two major objectives in its continuing
efforts to grow the Corporation. Firstly, the Corporation closed a $25.5 million
bought deal financing through a syndicate of Underwriters led by Canaccord
Genuity Corp. and including Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd., National Bank
Financial Inc., Dundee Securities Ltd., Haywood Securities Inc. and Fraser
Mackenzie Limited. Secondly, the Corporation secured the Permit.
These achievements allowed Border to commence the next phase of its development
at Red Earth with operations commencing on Border's first Slave Point horizontal
well on February 23, 2012. Border also anticipates commencing the drilling of a
second well in March 2012, which has now been licensed. Subject to weather and
the availability of services, the Corporation plans to have both wells completed
and on test in March 2012. For the balance of the year, Border plans to drill
and fracture stimulate additional Slave Point horizontal wells at Red Earth.
Forward-Looking Statements
The forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on certain
key expectations and assumptions made by Border, including with respect to,
expectations and assumptions concerning timing of receipt of required regulatory
approvals. Although Border believes that the expectations and assumptions on
which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance
should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Border can give
no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their
very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors
and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the failure to obtain
necessary regulatory approvals, risks associated with the oil and gas industry
in general (e.g., operational risks in development, exploration and production;
delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects
or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty
of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, and
health, safety and environmental risks), commodity price and exchange rate
fluctuations and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in
plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital
expenditures.
The forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of the
date hereof and Border undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any
forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable
securities laws.
BOE
BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion
ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method
primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
