(“Tanager” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:TAN)(OTC PINK:MNIRF) announced today that its joint venture partner, Paleo Oil Company, LLC (“Paleo“) has entered into a master gas purchase agreement with Houston Pipe Line Company LP (“HPL“) regarding the Raptor A #1 well and Raptor B #1 well, in Polk County, Texas. Tanager owns a fifty percent (50%) working interest in the Raptor A #1 well and seventy five percent (75%) working interest(1) in the Raptor B #1 well. Pursuant to the agreement, Paleo will sell all of the gas produced from these wells to HPL.
