Heartland Oil Gas Rated Speculative 3 By Investrend Research Analyst David G Tildesley CFA Citing Valuable Properties
April 29, 2005 -- Investrend Research Syndicate: Heartland Oil & Gas (OTCBB: HOGC - News) has been rated "Speculative/3" by Investrend Research analyst David G. Tildesley, CFA, in a Benchmark research report, saying the company "has 853,000 acres of undeveloped land located near gathering pipelines, which were valued at $ 35.6 million at the end of 2004."
The analyst stated:
"Heartland Oil & Gas Inc. is an early stage exploration company involved in the drilling for Coal Bed Methane in the Forest City Basin of Kansas. The future value of the company will be determined by the magnitude of its ultimate exploration success over the next few years.
"Heartland has drilled 94 wells including 77 Coal Bed Methane Wells in eight pilots that are currently dewatering or venting gas. During 2005, Heartland will continue to evaluate the coal bed methane on its properties. It is anticipated that 15 wells will be completed and 16 new wells will be drilled. The total cost is estimated to be $ 3.1 million, which is well covered by available cash.
"The outcome of the drilling program is as yet unknown. But the company has a strong and experienced management team in place.
"While the shares are speculative, Heartland does have a strong balance sheet with no long-term debt liability as well as more than sufficient cash to carry it through 2005 and beyond. The shares are now trading near their 52-week low."
