Archer Petroleum Corp - Encounters 48 Feet of Pay on Davenport Project

Archer Petroleum Corp (TSX VENTURE:ARK)(OTCQX:APEUF)(DBFrankfurt:A6VA) ("Archer"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce the following results of a recent core
drilling test on its 100% owned Davenport project in Logan County, Kentucky,
USA: The test was completed by American Engineers, Inc., using a truck mounted
coring rig with a 2 inch barrel. The test encountered approximately 48 feet of
heavy oil/bitumen saturated sandstone in the Big Clifty formation. Two distinct
seams of oil saturated sandstone were observed, both showing significant
bleeding of oil from the core sections & petroleum odors. The hole was drilled
to a total depth of 86 feet with overburden and inter-burden measuring
approximately 36 feet yielding a ratio of 0.75 feet of overburden/inter-burden
per foot of oil sand pay. 


VP of Operations, Aaron Wilson, states: "We are very impressed with the results
of the recent test of the Davenport project and believe it provides further
evidence of the prospective nature of the project area for heavy oil/bitumen
extraction utilizing the proprietary technology the Company has secured access
to. Further testing will be performed to determine oil saturation levels of the
core taken in due course".
