Desert Mountain Energy Corp. (DME) announced that it has set production casing to the top of the Granite Formation in Well #7 (13-1). In addition to the previously announced hydrogen and helium zones, the well encountered additional multiple zones where helium was shown to be present via the mass spectrometer.

The company had three repeated zones of interest for helium as were previously seen in Wells #4, 5 &6. Correlation and assessments are being performed by geologic team. Excellent bottom hole pressures were observed in multiple prospective helium & hydrogen zones during drilling and flowed gas during operations. The company's onsite equipment clearly displayed a nearly 50/50 ratio of sulfur-free hydrogen and helium in the upper formations.

With the completion of Wells #4, 5, 6 and 7, DME now feels that it has identified the outer boundaries of the McCauley Helium Field and owns all necessary leases. The drill rig has been released until the next drill program begins. A completion rig will start work in 3 to 4 weeks, sampling results will be published when that work is accomplished.
