We expect the company to dish up a number of positive developments in the coming months as they begin reporting results from their Fall drilling program throughout Western Canada.  You might have missed our report because there were problems on the Internet last weekend. If you didn't have a chance to review the information on Assure Energy, we strongly recommend you do so immediately. If you made money from any of our profitable ideas this year which include Lucent, Liberty Media, Apple, Cel-Sci (up 265%), ATI, White Electronics, and many others, you will definitely want to learn about Assure Energy. Simply click here and you will be taken to our original publication on Assure. We believe Assure represents an outstanding investment opportunity in the oil & gas sector for several reasons. In conjunction with the recently announced acquisition of nearly half of Quarry Energy, Assure is now generating about $1.5 (Cdn) in monthly revenues from producing oil & gas properties in Western Canada. Assuming commodity prices remain about the same, this cash flow will continue for the next ten years or more from existing reserves. These revenues help mitigate the risk associated with owning the stock.  The upside potential is far more exciting. Assure's fall drilling program offers significant potential appreciation in the stock. While new discoveries might be insignificant for behemoths like Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC), the same finds can send shares of companies like Assure Energy spiraling north, which happens to be the same direction the Bush Administration would like to find flows of much needed natural gas to meet the anticipated major shortages.  Here's one example of a potentially explosive property included in the Fall drilling program.  Doe East Prospect One of the properties included in Assure Energy's Fall drilling program is the Doe East prospect in Western Alberta. This property is located right in the land of the giants- massive finds dating back to the 1950's are a stone's throw away from Doe East.  A mere 20 kilometers to the west is an area known as the "Parklands". The Parklands Wabamun 'A' pool was discovered in 1956 and estimated to contain 225 Billion Cubic Feet (yes folks, that's Billion with a capital "B") of natural gas. To date, the Parkland discovery well has produced 109 Billion CF of gas, and continues to produce to this day.  Just 50 kilometers to the south resides Saddle Hills (as shown on the map), which is being developed by Anadarko Petroleum (NYSE: APC). Anadarko recently updated its estimates on the reserves in Saddle Hills. The company now believes the property could have reserves up to 130 billion cubic feet- updated from the previous estimate of 90 billion cubic feet.  According to a recent Reuter's report, Anadarko is investing $68 million in development of the Saddle Hills prospect. Doe East is located right in the middle of all these massive finds. A discovery of any major magnitude would have far greater implications for stock price appreciation in Assure Energy vs the billion dollar behemoths.  Investors Are Starting to Catch On Seasoned oil & gas investors know the best time to jump into junior production and exploration companies is just prior to major drilling programs. Investors perceive significant upside, particularly when small companies explore in proximity to the major titans. Assure Energy is at that stage right now.  A quick look at the chart reveals that investors are starting to catch on. Assure traded at about $3 for nearly a year. During the month of September the stock made a quantum surge in both price and volume in conjunction with announcing a Fall Drilling program and the first part of the Quarry acquisition.  In the September 19th edition of the Globe and Mail, columnist Deborah Yedlin points out "In the boom and bust cycle of the oil patch, it may be time to start thinking boom again." She notes there was $130 million raised by junior oil & gas companies in September alone. Perhaps this helps explain why shares of Assure Energy recently popped up on the radar screens of investors. Price and volume are surging.  The company has a beautiful overview of its properties on the corporate web site, which can be found at www.assure-energy.com. The operations section presents all their properties. Go to the Property Explorer in the Operations section, or simply click here, and you will go directly to the proper place.  We intend to share developments as they unfold. No one can say where the stock will end up. However, junior oil & gas companies tend to trade well ahead of drilling programs. With the right find, the upside is unlimited from current levels. One thing is certain- we're a lot closer to the beginning than the end. You should consider establishing a position in Assure Energy immediately with an eye towards further appreciation over the remainder of the year. Got comments, questions or suggestions?
