Corporate
History
Yangarra
Resources Inc. was initally formed in 1985 as Ayrex Resources Ltd.
Ayrex Resources Ltd. started out as a mining venture. Over the next 15
years it was involved in mining and oil and gas ventures with Tandem
Resources and Stan Hawkins as the eventual controlling shareholder. In
late 2000, Jim Evaskevich (President) and Gordon Bowerman (Director)
bought the control block of Ayrex from Tandem and took over the
operations of the company.
In mid July
of 2003, after a roll back of the stock (4 for 1) and a name change to
Yangarra Resources Inc., the management team of Glacier Ridge Resources
Ltd. (Glacier Ridge had just sold to HighPoint Resources in July) moved
over to Yangarra Resources Inc.
Yangarra
Resources Inc. merged with TriOil Ltd. on November 9, 2005 to form a
new oil and gas exploration company called Yangarra Resources
Ltd.
Yangarra
Resources Ltd. acquired Athabaska Energy Ltd., a small private oil and
gas exploration company, in December 2009.
