CISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2006-- Australian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (herein called ACOR) (OTCBB:AUCAF) reports that the operator has announced that the Sellicks-2 well has struck oil in a new oil pool. The DST 1A conducted early this morning over the Poolowanna Formation interval 1984-2007 meters resulted in a flow of oil to surface in 13 minutes. A preliminary rate of 2250-2700 barrels of oil/day was achieved. The Sellicks-2 well adjoins ACOR's PEL 112 to the north. The Sellicks-2 is an appraisal well in Sellicks Oilfield in the Eromanga Basin, South Australia, spudded on May 11. This is a new pool oil discovery within the Sellicks Field, which has, to date, produced oil only from the deeper Patchawarra Formation. Sellicks-2 is the first of two appraisal wells based upon 3-D seismic that was designed to optimize field development. Sellicks-2 will now drill ahead to evaluate the Patchawarra Formation primary target, which is expected to be reached tomorrow. Since its discovery in July 2003 the Sellicks-1 has produced more than 250,000 barrels of oil or $17,500,000, using $70.00 per barrel oil and continues to produce strongly. However, new 3-D seismic mapping suggests that the discovery well may not be optimally located on the field, and the two appraisal wells are designed to test the potential for undrained oil updip and offset from Sellicks-1. Both wells will be deviated from a single well site located adjacent to the established field facility. The bottom-hole target for Sellicks-2 is located approximately 120 meters to the south of Sellicks-1. It has a planned total depth of 2,147 meters. All the wells mentioned in this press release adjoin ACOR's 41.5% working interest PEL 112 to the north and to the east.
Silver Sands-1 well came in with an initial potential of 1062 BOPD
Christies-1 well came in with an initial potential of 500 BOPD
Christies-2 well came in with an initial potential of 1960 BOPD
Christies-3 well came in with an initial potential of 2400 BOPD
Christies-4 well came in with an initial potential of 653 BOPD
Christies-5 well came in with an initial potential of 403 BOPD
Sellicks-1 well came in with an initial potential of 1780 BOPD
Worrior-1 well came in with an initial potential of 2800 BOPD
Worrior-2 well came in with an initial potential of 2000 BOPD
Worrior-3 well came in with an initial potential of 276 BOPD
Worrior-4 well came in with an initial potential of 1660 BOPD
The current production on the adjoining area to the north of ACOR's PEL 112 is averaging a reported $33,000,000 a year. The current production on the adjoining area to the east of ACOR's PEL 112 is averaging a reported $75,000,000 a year.
Why are we talking about the Wells that adjoin ACOR's PEL 112?
Take the smallest of the recent discoveries (276 BOPD) and multiply (x) it by $70.00 per barrel, current market price of crude oil times (x) 30 days, times (x) 12 months and apply it to times (x) ACOR's PEL 112 41.5% Working Interest and see the results for yourself. Now do the same with the largest discovery that adjoins ACOR's PEL 112.
Smallest Discovery so far, Worrior-3 IP 276 BOPD
Largest Discovery so far, Warrior-1 IP 2,800 BOPD
Now you can see why ACOR management is so excited about all the drilling activity that is going on adjoining ACOR's PEL 112 to the north and east. In our opinion, any one of the recent discoveries from the smallest to the largest could be a possible "Company-Maker" discovery for our company, if discovered on PEL 112. This is some of the most profitable production in onshore Australia, and ACOR is in the middle of it.
About PEL 112
ACOR has invested approximately five years of time and several million dollars on PEL's 112, 108, & 109. PEL 112 covers 818,904 acres and has never been drilled on (no dry holes) and is located in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin of South Australia. ACOR has just completed a new seismic survey on PEL 112 at a cost of approximately $1,100,000. The new seismic survey has discovered two large seismograph highs as well as 28 smaller ones. The two large seismograph highs are called C-23 & C-26, which cover a combined area of approx. 5,534 acres with excellent closure. ACOR is currently getting drilling bids for the two best drilling locations identified by seismic. The drilling locations for C-23 & C-26 have now been staked and the photos of the locations are available on our website.
ACOR owns 41.5% WI under PEL's 108, 109, & 112.
ACOR Management Visit to Australia

(herein called ACOR) (OTCBB:AUCAF) reports that the JV partner of ATP-299 has announced the successful completion of Mulberry-12 as a Birkhead oil producer. Mulberry 12 was drilled at the Mulberry Field on ACOR's ORRI about 950 meters northwest of Mulberry 2. It encountered good oil shows with approximately 3-4 meters of net oil pay in the mid Birkhead reservoir unit and has been cased as a future oil production well. Rig PDI-735 was then released to the Huckleberry 1 near field exploration (NFE) well location. Huckleberry 1 is located approximately 2 kilometers west of Mulberry 2, and spudded on May 21st. The total depth of the Huckleberry-1 is 1,365 meters. The second drilling rig, PDI-724 continued drilling operations at the Endeavour field. Endeavour 11 spudded on May 19th. As of May 22nd, the surface casing had been set. Planned forward operations are to drill out the casing shoe conduct BOP tests and drill in 7 7/8" hole ahead to TD.
About The Mulberry Oil Field:
Mulberry-1 was drilled in 2004 and is producing oil at a rate of approximately 600 barrels of oil per day. The 51 wells are designed to achieve additional oil production and to test the extent of the oil pool in the Birkhead 11-77 sand discovered in the Mulberry-1 well. The Mulberry-Gimboola-Endeavour /Tintaburra Oil Field contain significant proved undeveloped oil reserves and exploration up side. The Mulberry-Gimboola-Endeavour Field is part of the Tintaburra Oil Field on ACOR's ORRI under ATP-299. The Mulberry/Tintaburra Oil Field is estimated to contain around 84 million barrels of proved plus probable oil in place or approximately $5,036,640,000, at current market prices. ACOR owns .0575 of 1% ORRI under ATP-299.

I had my bid 3000 at .96 so you can't say I didn't try to walk the bid up. Problem was nobody else would out bid me, the momentum looks like stagnant water when nobody is competing on the bid. I think we might be able to solve this problem if we start a new thread with the right name, and MOST importantly, we have to use one of those little smiley faces instead of the same old boring paper.
