Additional reserve information will be included in Tango's NI 51-101 report, which will be filed on SEDAR.
This release contains forward-looking information. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve assumptions and known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future results to differ materially from those contemplated. These risks include such things as volatility of oil and gas prices, commodity supply and demand, fluctuations in currency and interest rates, ultimate recoverability of reserves, timing and costs of drilling activities and pipeline construction, new regulations and legislation and availability of capital. Tango does not undertake to update any of such forward-looking statements. Please refer to Tango's Annual Report for more detail as to the nature of these risks and uncertainties. Although Tango believes that the expectations represented by these forward looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.
BOE's may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. In accordance with NI 51-101, a barrel of oil equivalent (boe) conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 boe is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Abbreviations used are defined as flows: m$ (thousands of dollars); mcf (thousand standard cubic feet); mmcf (million standard cubic feet); mboe (thousands of barrels of oil equivalent); mmBTU (million British Thermal Units).
The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in the estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.
The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
