DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY ENCOUNTERS GAS IN MULTIPLE ZONES AND SETS PRODUCTION CASING IN ITS FIRST EXPLORATORY WELL IN ARIZONA’S HOLBROOK BASIN

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) is pleased to announce that it has encountered gas in multiple zones in its first wildcat exploratory well in Arizona’s Holbrook Basin.  DME Well No. State 10-1 (API No. 02-017-20130) encountered gas in five different zones aggregating approximately 182 ft. in width.  The well was spudded on June 17 and was drilled to a total depth of 2354 ft.  Production casing has now been set to the bottom of the hole and cemented.

Significant gas flows were encountered during both drilling and casing setting operations.  The helium content and composition of the gaseous mixture in the well remains unknown at this time, pending final well completion operations.  Complete laboratory gas analysis for helium and other gases will be undertaken at that time, together with studies of estimated flow production levels.

According to Robert Rohlfing, Executive V.P of Exploration and Head of Technical Operations for the Company, “It is very encouraging to have encountered a high level of controlled gas flows during our drilling and casing setting operations. However, the presence and amount of helium in the gaseous mixture has not yet been determined.  Going forward, our team will be reviewing all of the geophysical data from this well and making strategic recommendations based on that data.”

The Company plans to move the current drill rig directly onto its second exploratory well prospect, DME Well No. State 16-1 (API No. 02-017-20131) with a proposed total depth of 2790 ft., also situated in the Holbrook Basin in Central Navajo County.   It is anticipated that drilling will commence on that second well shortly after the 4th of July holiday. Well completion and testing procedures will then be undertaken on both of the two initial wells as soon as practicable, subject to availability of the completion rig.

DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY ENGAGES DRILLING CONTRACTOR FOR FIRST TWO HOLES OF ITS HELIUM EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN ARIZONA’S HOLBROOK BASIN

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME, U.S. OTC: DMEHF, Frankfurt: QM01) is pleased to announce that it has now engaged Drake Well Service Inc. (“Drake”), a highly experienced Southwest Regional drilling contractor that has been family-owned since 1963, to drill the initial two wells of its upcoming helium drill program in Arizona’s Holbrook Basin. Drilling is anticipated to commence this June.

In addition to working efficiently to complete the wells as expeditiously as possible, Drake will be following best industry practices for health and safety guidelines.  In keeping with the Company’s mandate to leave minimal environmental footprint, the wells will be drilled with Air/Mist combination to reduce the amount of water required in its drilling operations by 60% or more.

As stated in our PR dated May 15, 2020, both wells will be simple vertical gas wells drilled to a maximum depth of 2,790 ft., and will be testing a total of five possible pay zones which the Company believes are highly prospective and range in depth from 1020 to 2690 ft.  Targets for the Company’s upcoming program were developed over the past eighteen months as a result of comprehensive studies of historic geologic reports and drill log data, field studies and mapping, a 2-D seismic study and most recently, an airborne geophysics survey.

The drill program will be overseen by the Company’s Head of Exploration and Technical Operations, Robert Rohlfing, a highly experienced driller and executive who has drilled over 250 wells in his career with a very high success rate. According to Mr. Rohlfing, “We are very pleased to be working with the people at Drake and regard them as a very high caliber choice whose skillset is ideally suited to our program. Their long-term commitment to health, safety, environmental protection and community values is very much in line with our own priorities.”
