Cantex Energy Corp. Reports The Startup of the Seismic Surveying on the Big Canyon Ranch Prospect and Updates West Ant Hills Pr

Cantex Energy Corp. (Pink Sheets-CTXE) announced today
that the seismic surveying has begun on the West Texas Big Canyon
Ranch Prospect.
   Trace Maurin, President of Cantex Energy, commented, "We are very
pleased to report that the surveying has begun on the Big Canyon Ranch
2D in the Val Verde Basin. GPS surveying is under way for the
positioning of the survey points for position and elevation. This is
the first phase of our 2D acquisition."
   Mr. Maurin goes on to say, "We are expecting to have very good
results using the state of the art acquisition technology. Once the
GPS surveying is complete the next phase will be the actual data
acquisition of the seismic survey, we anticipate this to take place
mid to late April pending crew scheduling. Since the signing of the
deal we have had other operators contact us for a possible farm-in on
the prospect. An update on the West Ant HiIls project is that we are
currently evaluating our acreage at this point. The first of 8 wells
proved to be low and wet to our target formation. Even though this is
a set back we may still consider running further test on the remaining
1200 acres with 3D seismic."
