Calgary, Alberta / Halifax, Nova Scotia, February 14, 2002: Globex Resources Ltd. (GBX - CDNX) and Corridor Resources Inc. (CDH - CDNX) announced today they have abandoned the Case Settlement C-82 well, located approximately 22 kilometres west of the McCully natural gas discovery near Sussex, New Brunswick. The well reached a total depth of 2123 metres after encountering minor shows of natural gas. The well was part of a farmin program under which Globex completed the funding of $2 million of exploration expenditures to earn a 50% working interest in three Corridor exploration licences (106,700 gross acres) located to the west and north of Sussex. Case Settlement C-82 is the first deep stratigraphic test well drilled on these licences, and the valuable information obtained will be used to further assess the Case Settlement prospect as well as other prospects on the lands.
