LAND SALE REVENUE DOUBLES

Released on June 7, 2001

The June sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights generated $13.3

million in revenue for the province, nearly double the $6.7 million

collected in the April sale.



"Natural gas-prone areas dominated for the second sale in a row," Energy

and Mines Minister Maynard Sonntag said. "This sale reveals a sustained

interest in acquiring natural gas properties driven by continued high

prices."



The current sale included seven exploration licences that sold for $8.6

million and 150 lease parcels that brought in $4.7 million.



Gas-prone areas accounted for $10.2 million or over 75 per cent of the

total sale. This is substantially higher than the $3 million collected in

the April sale and represents the highest percentage ever for gas-prone

lands in a sale.



As in the April sale, the Swift Current area received the most bonus bid

activity due to its high amount of gas-prone lands, with sales totaling

$10.3 million. The Lloydminster area was second at $1.8 million followed

by the Kindersley-Kerrobert area at just over $925,000. The Weyburn-

Estevan area rounded out the sale at approximately $375,000.



The highest price received for a single parcel was $3,276,901.94. This

8,000-hectare exploration licence, located on the Saskatchewan-Montana

border in the extreme southwest corner of the province, was purchased by

Maverick Land Consultants (87) Inc.



The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $2,033.67. Acclaim Energy

Inc. purchased the 69-hectare parcel, located five kilometres north of

Lloydminster in the Northminster Sparky Sand Pool, for $140,323.23.



The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas dispositions will be

August 14th, 2001.
