“This Reserve Report reconfirms the large
reserves in place, and we remain focused on drilling and developing
while redeploying the expected strong cash-flow from the completed
wells back into drilling programs,” said Mehran Ehsan, President
and CEO of Permex. “We look forward to providing additional updates
as we continue to ramp up our drilling operations to drive organic
growth for our Company and sustainable value for our
shareholders.”
