from the Sparky and McLaren formations. Results will be released when operations

first proposed test well will be targeting light oil production from the
Alexander Sand, the Detrital and Wabamun formations. Sundance will have a 50%
working interest and will be the operator of the test well. In addition Sundance

begin shooting an extensive 3D seismic program on the Alexander First Nation
Project lands. Sundance has permitted 27 sections (17,280 acre gross and 8,640
net acres) from the Alexander First Nation. The entire land position is
prospective for light oil and gas production from the Basal Quartz, Alexander
Sand, Detrital and Wabamun formations.
