PrimeWest Energy Inc.

PrimeWest's strategy is to focus our expansion efforts on existing Canadian core areas, and pursue depletion optimization strategies within those core areas to maximize asset value. We strive to control our operations whenever possible, and maintain high working interests. As operator of 80% of our production, we actively manage our asset portfolio. We believe this high level of operatorship translates into control over costs and timing of capital outlays and projects. The current size of the Trust gives us the ability and critical mass to make acquisitions of significant size, while still being able to add value by transacting smaller ( www.primewestenergy.com )
