Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 26, 2024) - Wedgemount Resources Corp. (CSE: WDGY) (OTCQB: WDGRF) ("Wedgemount" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has closed the acquisition of additional oil and gas assets (the "Huggy Assets") located in the Permian Basin of west central Texas pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") with an arm's length private company (the "Seller") located in Texas, USA.

Under the PSA, Wedgemount has acquired a 100% working interest in the Huggy Assets which cover 20,000 acres of 37 oil and gas leases, hosting 111 producing wells, eight injectors and all surface facilities.
