(Other OTC:PGNE.PK - News) ("PrimeGen" or the "Company") wishes to advise that the drilling operator at the previously announced Timan-Pechora Project has reported that the drilling of Kochmesskoye # 6 well which began on September 25, 2009 has reached total target depth on October 02, 2009.

Testing of any potentially productive oil bearing zones has been initiated. The Company will be advised as to the commercial viability of the well and productive oil flow rates upon the completion of testing, which is anticipated by the end of the week.
