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."
