DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 18, 2015) - BRS Resources Ltd. ("BRS") (TSX VENTURE: BRS) is pleased to announce that AleAnna Resources has received approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") for its Trava 2 exploration well from the Italian Ministry of Environment. Approval of the EIA is an important step in the overall drilling permit process. The final step in the Trava 2 permit will be approval from the Ministry of Economic Development, which is expected this fall.
BRS an international upstream oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the Mediterranean region, primarily onshore gas in Italy. Through its ownership in AleAnna Energy LLC, which owns 100% of AleAnna Resources LLC ("AleAnna") in Italy, BRS is strategically positioned to exploit Italy's vast, untapped natural gas reserves. BRS owns 17% of AleAnna Energy LLC.
"AleAnna used 3d-seismic data from one of its recent geophysical surveys to pinpoint surface and bottom-hole locations for the Trava 2 well," commented Steven Moore, president/CEO of BRS. "In fact, AleAnna is the only company actively operating in onshore Italy to use state-of-the-art 3d-geophysical technologies in its normal course of business to identify drillable prospects."
"AleAnna has already secured a surface location for the well site and is finalizing the contract with the drilling contractor," continued Moore. "Italy remains a bright spot for natural gas exploration as commodity prices for natural gas continue above $8 per mcf and natural gas is recognized as a 'transition' fuel to Italy's renewable future."
