(TSX: SOIL) (FSE: SMKA) (OTCQX: OILSF) (“Saturn”) recently announced the signing of an acquisition of two oil-weighted asset packages in southern Saskatchewan (the “Acquisition“) that are contiguous with Saturn’s existing Saskatchewan asset base, for total net cash consideration of approximately C$525 million. The closing date of the Acquisition is expected on or about June 14, 2024 with an effective date of January 1, 2024, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions.
