Aspen Group Resources Corporation (TSX:ASR) (Aspen) today announced the successful completion and testing of the first well in the Daley Field in Manitoba. The 16 -10 well (located on the 16-10-009-28W1M lease) was drilled to measured depth of approximately 1600 meters. The horizontal leg was drilled in the Middle Daly section of the Lodgepole formation. The well was swab tested and encountered an initial production rate of 332 barrels of oil. Gas rates were minimal. The well will be temporarily shut-in pending the culmination of the immediate drilling program and the construction of the surface gathering facilities.

Drilling operations on the second well, the 10 -30 well, located on the 10 - 30 -009-28W1M lease have been completed. Completion and testing of the 10-30 well will begin later in the week. The drilling rig will be moved to the 02/16-10 -14-11-9 -28W1M lease to drill an additional well near the 16-10 well site.

The wells utilized horizontal drilling a drilling machine having a horizontal drill spindle.

Aspen also announced that two additional leases in the Daley Field totaling 440 acres have been acquired through a Crown Land sale. With the addition of the two new leases, Aspen now holds a 50 percent interest in a total of 7 leases totaling approximately 2200 acres in the area. Consulting geologists and engineers estimate that approximately 25 additional drill targets are contained within the acreage.
