Dear reader,

About 470 miles outside the state capitol of Helena - in Richland County, Montana - more millionaires are being created per capita than anywhere else in America.

All thanks to the "Bakken"...

The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. It has the potential to drastically reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.

• "When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.


• "This sizeable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

Also known as the Williston Basin, the Bakken stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.

Big Oil has known about it since the 50's. But they were never able to extract much of the Bakken's highly desirable light, sweet crude at its depths... some of it up to 2 miles underground.

Today, though, a new technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves... specifically, up to 4.3 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil, according to a long-awaited U.S. Geological Survey study released in 2008.

It's the largest continuous oil formation ever assessed by the USGS.

And it's literally making millionaires out of ordinary Montanans with land rights in the Bakken.

But for everyday investors, the news is just as good.

You see, the USGS missed something in its landmark study.

They completely overlooked the billions of barrels directly underneath the Bakken!

That's right. A second giant oil basin, called the "3 Forks-Sanish" formation.

Once considered merely a drip pan for the Bakken, 3 Forks is suddenly proving itself as a separate oil formation... one that could literally DOUBLE the Bakken's stated oil reserves.

It's being touted as "Bakken 2."

...And this new discovery could mean we now have access to a whopping 9 billion barrels of oil - right here in the U.S.

And it offers investors like us a "once-in-a-lifetime" chance to profit on ever-rising demand for oil. And we can do it by getting in on the ground floor of the next great oil boom...

According to Lynn Helms, Director of North Dakota's Dept. of Mineral Resources, "Eventually it [the 3 Forks - Sanish formation] could equal the Bakken, which is remarkable, and that's an understatement."

And what's even more remarkable are the latest production results from 103 newly tapped wells in the 3 Forks-Sanish formation:

Some of the 3 Forks-Sanish wells have shown more productive results than the Bakken wells.

In fact, several companies are re-focusing their drilling targets on the new area.

What's more - Bakken - 3 Forks oil isn't gritty, dirty and expensive like the Alberta oil sands.

We're talking light, sweet crude oil - the least expensive and easiest to refine oil out there.

And here's the kicker...

I've uncovered three companies that are drilling in the Bakken right now and are seeing returns and revenues second to none.

One company has been there since the beginning of the Bakken boom... and is actively selling its oil to the market. And the best part about it - this company is sharing its Bakken profits with everyday investors.

You see, for the past 8+ years, this company has distributed its net profits in the form of MONTHLY cash payments. They have sent their shareholders profit-sharing checks for 96 months in a row... and the check amounts are on the rise.

Straight from the company's annual report:

That's how huge and insanely profitable the Bakken play is becoming.

The other 2 Bakken companies I've uncovered are true "wildcatter" plays... with the potential to return investors 100-to-1 on their money. They currently both trade at roughly $9 a share, having jumped from $7 and $5... just within the past couple of months.

Amazingly, this monumental oil discovery - and these 3 companies - have remained somewhat of a secret.

Before I explain this opportunity in more detail, let me be perfectly clear - I have never come across a more ideal profit scenario.

In this letter, I'm going to tell you everything that I've learned about the Bakken discovery, why it is still a secret, who's involved, and - more importantly - how to profit from it. Especially before the rest of the investment community finds out.

Mark my words, an opportunity like this only comes around once every so often and I can GUARANTEE that this will not remain a secret for much longer.

In fact, some of the local media are beginning to report on it...

• "People in the region 'are just starting to see the potential' in this new oil play" - Grand Forks Herald
• "The huge potential of the Bakken play has industry and government officials gushing with superlatives." - CanWest News Service
• "Montanan residents with oil royalties have, literally, been made millionaires."

As we all know - the people who make the most money are the people who get in first.

And for the shareholders of oil companies that make huge, new discoveries, the potential payoff is mind-blowing.

There are several companies that have seen similar situations to the Bakken - of course on a far smaller scale - and have rallied hundreds of percent in just a few months. If these companies can see their stock prices increase by 300%, 400% or even 500% with oil discoveries of 1 or 2 billion barrels... just imagine what a discovery of up to 9 billion barrels of oil would do to a stock's price!

Here are a few examples...

Bankers Petroleum is a company based in the Patos-Marinz Oil Field in Albania. Upon discovery of its 1.96 billion barrels (less than one quarter the potential of the Bakken Basin) the company's stock price increased 468% in just 7 months!

Let me fill you in on the details...

It was a true "rags to riches" story.

Then there's Petrominerals, a company whose primary drilling area is in the Llanos Basin in Colombia, South America. When uncovering a 1 billion barrel potential (roughly 10% of the potential of the Bakken Basin), this stock jumped 775% in just 10 months!

Lastly, there's the example of BPZ Resources, a Peruvian company that has concentrated on two main oil fields: The Corvina and Albacora Formations. Recently, it was reported that the Corvina Field holds reserves of 60 million barrels and that the Albacora field holds reserves of roughly 500 million barrels (about 5% of the Bakken Basin Potential) and the stock price rocketed 449% in just 8 months!

As you can see from the charts above - the potential is huge when a company makes a new discovery. And with the Bakken being exponentially larger than any oil field listed above, there is no telling how high the stock prices of the companies that I have outlined below will go - 400%... 700%... 2000%... maybe much, much higher.

Keep reading and you will soon find out the secret way to become a Montana Millionaire and get in on the ground floor of this unprecedented oil discovery called the Bakken Basin...

Years ago, a Billings petroleum geologist by the name of Dick Findley was working out of his basement - searching for oil in an area that had been barren for over 20 years. Things were rough and he was struggling to get by.

He even flirted with the idea of getting a second job as a restaurant cook. On a diet of nothing but Ramen noodles and hard-boiled eggs - how could you blame the guy?

But one thing kept Dick going - an unprecedented suspicion that this area, known as the Bakken Basin, contained more oil than Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran combined.

The Bakken Basin, located in Montana, North Dakota and Saskatchewan - was at one point coined "one of the largest disappointments in the oil industry."

During this period, technology lacked the efficiency to make drilling worthwhile. And when oil hit all time lows in the late 90's - the Bakken Basin was basically abandoned.

But Findley kept digging around.

And through sheer luck, he and his partner stumbled upon a porous layer of dolomite, 9000 feet below the ground of a ranch just outside Sidney, Montana.

This stumble turned out to be the largest on-shore oil discovery in decades.

Little did he know, but Findley discovered the mother lode of domestic oil.

And the oil field he found - and the technology that he helped develop to extract the oil - has recently made millionaires out of ordinary Montanans...

"It was a light bulb kind of thought - When I discovered that the oil was in the middle shale and it continued for 50 miles, I called my partner and I said, 'I think you'd better sit down... we found a giant oil field," says Findley of his initial discovery.

Findley soon took his discovery to energy giant Haliburton, which backed him financially and provided the support to help him develop the necessary drilling technology to efficiently take advantage of this huge oil discovery...

It's true that the oil industry has known about the Bakken Basin for over 20 years - but the problem always was that no one knew how to get at the oil. The technology just wasn't there. Until now...

But even today, the exact science behind getting Bakken - 3 Forks oil is still somewhat of a secret.

I mean, think about it for a minute...

Imagine you found a massive, but trapped gold mine in your neighborhood. Now imagine you created a technology to mine it - a technology unique to this specific gold mine.

Would you tell anyone how to do it? Would you reveal your secret?

No, of course not. You would want to make as much money as possible, before everybody else found out about it.

Well that's exactly what's going on with the Bakken Basin.

"It's too early in the play to be sharing information," says Bill Walker, a Denver-based geologist with Headington Co.

Bill says his company has recently developed the technology to drill the Bakken down effectively - and it's one of the company's closest guarded secrets.

Even though the technology I'm talking about is rather well known, actually using it successfully is the big secret.

The technology is called Horizontal Directional Drilling or H.D.D., and only a few companies have mastered the process.

Getting oil out of the Bakken is not a matter of poking a hole in the ground until you hit a soft spot full of oil - which is the old vertical drilling technique.

The Bakken is woven with rocks, and that rock-layer is wide but very thin. Thin enough that vertical drilling is horribly unsuccessful.

It was Findley's idea to drill a well sideways - a technique called "horizontal directional drilling," in which wildcatters drill down to the oil and then kick out their well thousands of feet to the left or right.

Sort of like an underground sprinkler. Here is what it looks like:

But horizontal drilling alone isn't enough to get the oil out of the ground.

Findley had to work with Haliburton engineers to figure out a way to both drill sideways and fracture the rock to release the oil.

Both horizontal drilling and fracturing had been done before, but never together. This was Findley's revolutionary idea.

These combined technologies made drilling the Bakken - 3 Forks Basin possible and extremely profitable.

And with oil now over $70 a barrel - the companies below are making a killing - and you can too if you get in quickly enough. Now here's the Kicker:

Truth is, the Bakken companies we've selected are still economical - as in, they can still make money - even if oil were to drop into the $35 - $45 range!

That's right. Let me break down the economics, straight from the V.P. of one of the Bakken's leading producers, Whiting Petroleum...

• Assume oil were to drop all the way to $45 a barrel from its current $70+ level. With a $5 discount to the NYMEX price, each well would be pumping oil at $40 a barrel.

• Roughly 20% of that $40 is sent directly to the landowner. Another 20% goes to operating expenses.

• That leaves approximately 60% of the original $40, giving the driller $24 a barrel.

• Assuming drillers can pump out 800,000 barrels of oil per well, that allows the company $19 million in revenue, per well.

Conclusion: If each well costs about $5.5 million, the driller is still making a 3.5 to 1 ratio return on their money!

Remember, that's in a scenario in which oil collapses to $45. Today, of course, oil's found support at $65... and trending upwards.

And that's why we think there's so much money to be made in the Bakken - Forks region... even in a time of crisis.

Understandably, our analysts and editors get a healthy dose of questions about the Bakken, its reserve estimates, production numbers, and - of course - which stocks stand to benefit the most.

So let's quickly take a closer look at...

I've spent the past 2 years researching every possible way of making money with this monumental oil discovery.

I've found a total of THREE ways.

Each opportunity has a unique advantage. And whether you're an income investor or a growth stock investor, there is a way for you to get in on the Bakken boom, before the herd does...

The first opportunity is an explosive growth stock that was upgraded to the AMEX exchange in February 2007.

Since being upgraded this stock has gone from $3 to $10 - that is a 233% gain in just over one year.

And that is just the beginning...

The main catalyst for company's stock price spike is an increase in its acreage position in the Bakken Basin to 50,000 gross / 16,000 net acres. This additional acquisition increases its total Bakken position to about 105,000 gross / 52,000 net acres. That's huge.

They are gobbling up land in this precious region with fervor second to none.

In the past 24 months, insiders of the company have purchased more than 130,000 shares. They know that the Bakken play is going to be a fortune-maker.

With a deep foothold in the Bakken and the expansion of wells throughout the region - there is no telling how high this stock could go. Companies in similar situations have seen their stock rise to over $200 a share. Right now you can buy it for $9 a share.

But let me be very clear: we are talking about the potential of several hundred percent gains. This company trades at a market cap of over $350 million. But as this company continues to grow in the Bakken, its market cap could balloon to $2 billion! Right now the company stock is under the radar. But now that the U.S. Geological Survey has officially launched its Bakken report, this company could jump as much as 400% over the next few months...

By combining experienced management, low overhead and aggressive acreage acquisition, this company is one of the nation's fastest growing small-cap gas and oil exploration and production companies.

"We are excited to announce the expansion of our [Bakken] acreage position," said the Chief Executive Officer. "Our position in this productive resource play is well situated among acreage held by leading Bakken exploration companies. Assuming full development of our [Bakken] leasehold on 640-acre drilling units, [our] acreage would result in approximately twenty-five net wells."

With the newly acquired acreage, this company is poised for profit over the next couple months, which means higher stock price and more cash in your pocket...

The second Montana Millionaire opportunity is an aggressive income play. This company has been involved in the Bakken for years and has significant acreage in the region.

This company is a high-yielding equity investment in the oil and natural gas business. They have built a balanced and diversified portfolio of producing properties across the United States with a focus on large resource plays, like the Bakken.

They have a strict discipline of paying a significant portion of their cash flow to investors each month. And with a payout ratio of 190% and a dividend yield of nearly 9%, it's hard to argue otherwise.

But here's the rub...

This company is also a significant growth opportunity. Compared to the industry this company is trading at a heavy discount.

They have a forward P/E ratio of 5.79 compared to an industry average of 68.97 and a price to sales ratio of 2.25 compared to 3.78 for the industry.

Based on conservative valuation models, we believe this stock has the potential to double in the next 12 to 24 months.

That's on top of the cash payments it pays out every single month.

The third opportunity to take advantage of the next great American oil boom is through an independent exploration, development and production company that utilizes a revolutionary 3-D seismic imaging technology to systematically explore and develop domestic oil and gas reserve.

The use of this 3-D seismic technology reduces drilling risk and compounds their ability to grow reserves and production volumes.

Since 2008, this company has been drastically expanding its acreage. With several new acquisitions under their belt, the company has managed to increase their total Bakken - Three Forks total acreage to over 270,000.

The move has paid off in full, too.

With a strong cash position, this company is ready to accelerate their 2010 drilling program.

And we know these guys can produce results. During the summer of 2009, the company released some tremendous drilling results and giving further evidence that the Three Forks - Sanish formation is a beast of its own.

As the true potential of the Three Forks - Sanish formation is revealed - we're expecting even more from this Bakken driller.

Not to mention that over the last 2 years there have been nothing but purchases with insiders...

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in at the beginning of an oil boom - for next to nothing...

Now listen closely, I've put together an exclusive report that details the 3 companies currently in the Bakken ready to get America off of Mideast oil.

I call the report The Bakken Billions: The Next Big Oil Rush.
