Granite Energy, Inc. Acquires 2,300 Acre New Mexico Project

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) October 18, 2006 -- Granite Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ OTC Pink sheets: GNGI) (the company), today announced its acquisition of The Escavada, an exploration prospect located in San Juan County, New Mexico.

The Escavada Prospect contains a total area of interest of approximately 5,000 acres, under the geological concept. This high quality exploration Prospect, "Escavada Prospect" originates from a regional seismic play undertaken by a major domestic oil company. Should the test well be successful, the Escavada Prospect could generate as many as fifty (50) additional developmental drilling locations. In addition, Granite will have the first right of refusal on several other prospect leads in the region which have in excess of 2,000 acres for lease and potential development.
