FRISCO, TX - (NewMediaWire) - March 24, 2022 - Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: VBHI), (www.verdebh.com), a growing energy company, today announced that it continues to execute on its business plan of acquiring a portfolio of revenue producing properties by agreeing to the purchase of mineral and royalty interests in the Bakken Shale of North Dakota, held by a private seller for a purchase price of $415,000 in cash, subject to price adjustments pending due diligence.

The interests to be acquired are located in the heart of the Bakken in McKenzie and Williams Counties, North Dakota, and are operated by Slawson Exploration, which has established itself as one of the premier operators in the Bakken Shale. The acquisition includes interest in 21 currently producing wells. Slawson currently has two rigs running in the area and is currently drilling another well on the interest being acquired.

The acquisition is expected to close on or before April 15, 2022.

The Company continues to build a diversified, revenue producing portfolio of high-quality assets.

Scott Cox, Founder and CEO of Verde, said, “We are excited about adding these interests to our portfolio through this acquisition. We have been lacking a good Bakken asset in our portfolio and are pleased to have found this amazing property at a good price point and still have the upside of historically high oil prices and the continued development to come with the property. We are proud to have built a Company which is creative and flexible enough to take advantage of these deals as they come to market.”

“Deals like this continue to highlight our business plan of acquiring minerals and royalties and building a diversified, revenue-producing portfolio. We remain focused on executing our business plan and creating long-term value for our shareholders.
