CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jun 9, 2014) - Marksmen Energy Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:MAH) ("Marksmen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Marksmen and its Joint Venture Partner, Houghton Investments LLC, completed the third well of its drilling program on June 6, 2014.

During the completion process the well flowed oil to surface. The well will be tied-in and put on production in the next few days. Marksmen has a 100% working interest before payout and a 90% working interest after payout in this well.

Marksmen will commence drilling operations on its fourth well today and it should take approximately two weeks to drill, complete and tie-in.
