Canacol Energy Ltd. (Toronto: CNE.TO) has announced the results from an independent resources evaluation of the corporation's Santa Isabel, VMM 2, and VMM 3 blocks, effective June 30, 2014. For the prospective deep Cretaceous interval, specifically the La Luna and the Tablazo formations, in each of the three blocks, the corporation has 30% working interest in Santa Isabel, 20% working interest in VMM 2, and 20% undivided interest in VMM 3 subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. The three blocks in aggregate consist of 260,000 and 62,000 gross and net acres respectively in the Middle Magdalena Basin, Colombia.

D&M provided low, best, high, and mean estimates of unrisked resources on a statistical aggregation method to the three blocks. These estimates have not been adjusted for the probability of geologic success.
