La Cortez Bullish on Mirto Results so far

La Cortez Energy, parter in the Mirto-1 well in the Maranta block, has released a press statement to the effect that based on the preliminary results of the drilling, La Cortez has elected to participate with Emerald on the evaluation phase of the well and is pressing ahead to file a request with ANH for a 20% interest in the Maranta block. It seems they are encouraged by the oil and gas shows in the target horizons.
