The third public offering of Crown petroleum, and natural gas rights in the province generated $1.5 million. That brings the total revenue generated for the current fiscal year to just over $9.5 million. That is a considerably poorer showing than the $6.5 million generated at this time a year ago, with a year-to-date total of $25 million. The province says that Saskatchewan currently averages $636.66 per hectare for the fiscal year; higher than similar public offerings held to date in Alberta and BC which average $155.63 and $87.46 respectively. The next offering will be October 1st.
