The company negotiating with the Nova Scotia government for onshore gas exploration rights identified itself in a news release Monday.

Alberta-based Questerre Energy said in a release that it is in “the final stages” of negotiations with the province to work on lands in the onshore Cumberland Basin of northern Nova Scotia.

“Winning the first bid round allows us to start building relationships in Nova Scotia — with local communities and landowners, the Department of Energy and research partners such as Dalhousie University,” company CEO Michael Binnion said in the release.
