	3/8/2010 - CHALLENGER MINERALS FARMS-INTO BENTLEY FIELD
Xcite Energy inked a legally binding letter of agreement with Challenger Minerals (North Sea) Limited for CMNS to farm in to the Bentley field, commencing with the forthcoming 9/ 3b-R well intended to be drilled this summer. CMNS, a subsidiary of Transocean Drilling U.K. Limited, will provide $4 million as its share of the 9/3b-R well costs in exchange for 4% working interest in the Bentley field through an earn-in mechanism, which allows CMNS to join the Bentley field license at any time prior to the commencement of the first phase development of the field.
