ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
Foreland Corporation announced on December 1, 1998, the results of drilling at
the Dixie Flats #1-4 well. This exploratory well tested a high block that had
been defined by 2D seismic and gravity on the flanks of Huntington Valley,
Nevada. During drilling, massive lost circulation occurred in the top of the
block, indicating that an extremely premeable reservoir had been prenetrated.
Shows of oil were not observed in the samples, however, and as a result, the
well will be plugged and abandoned.
