MARKSMEN ANNOUNCES EXTENSION TO COMPLETE PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE


CALGARY, ALBERTA, Sept. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marksmen Energy Inc. (“Marksmen” or the “Company”) announces that, further to its news releases issued on July 12 and September 1, 2023, it has been granted an extension by the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) to complete a second closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the “Units”) of Marksmen (the “Offering”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $350,000. The Company expects to complete a second closing on or before October 30, 2023.

Marksmen intends to use the net proceeds of $122,500 from the first closing of the Offering to complete an upper zone in a well in Pickaway County, Ohio. In the following order depending on the proceeds raised Marksmen intends to use the net proceeds of the second closing of the Offering for the balance of the completion of the upper zone in the well in Pickaway County for $27,500, additional surface equipment for $50,000, lease additional land associated with this well for $100,000 and the remaining $50,000 for working capital.

Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSXV. The securities issued are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.

Marksmen has been delayed, due to service rig availability, in its completion of an upper zone at its HD2 well. It was originally scheduled for the week of September 18 to 22, 2023. It is now planned to have the service rig arrive and rig up on October 5 or 6, 2023. The other services that are or may be required including cementing, logging, and perforating will commence operations on October 9, 2023 and will take three to four days.
