FTTN and Intrepid Drilling Finalize Funding for South Lake Charles Project

BRADENTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Titan Corp. (OTCBB: FTTN) announced today that its joint venture with Intrepid Drilling, LLC, has finalized the funding for its drilling project in Louisiana's South Lake Charles Field.

The joint venture expects to be fully funded by the end of the month, said FTTN CEO Robert Federowicz. Once funds are secured, drilling at the site could begin as early as next month.

Plans call for Intrepid to drill down 15,300 feet in the South Lake Charles Field, where two existing wells have already produced 21.3 billion cubic feet of gas and 1.7 million barrels of oil. The company reports a proved trapping fault block on the west flank of the field, up-dip to production.

The project's total maximum potential for all categories exceeds 60 billion cubic feet of gas and four million barrels of oil.

FTTN has stepped up efforts to begin drilling at its numerous oil and gas interests across the Gulf Coast in recent weeks following the start of production at its well in Alabama's Little Cedar Creek Field. With oil now flowing, the company continues to accumulate assets, including another new well in Louisiana.

Earlier this week, the company announced the acquisition of a working interest in an oil and gas well in Southeast Louisiana's Lake Boeuf Field that covers more than 300 leasehold acres in Lafourche Parish. It is the fifth working interest in a prospective U.S. oil and gas well that FTTN has acquired in the past year.

The company plans to bring more of its working interests online in the coming months in addition to acquiring more promising drilling sites in the U.S.
