VANCOUVER, Oct. 29, 2014 /CNW/ - Jericho Oil Corporation ("Jericho" or the "Company") (TSX-V: JCO, Frankfurt: JLM) today announced it has added 150 additional acres to its core area of development in Miami County, Kansas.  The acquisition brings Jericho's total lease acreage position to over 3,750 acres.
