Notes:

Includes cash and non-cash consideration.Capital Management Measure; See “Non-IFRS Financial Measures, Non-IFRS Financial Ratios and Capital Management Measures” Section of the Q1/22 MD&A

Since reorganizing the business on December 16, 2021, management and the board has executed several key objectives, including raising new capital to finance our initial growth strategy, completed a transformative oil weighted acquisition and implemented the waterflood enhancement strategy at Murray Lake under budget and ahead of schedule.

The Company is executing on both its short-term and long-term objectives of delivering discipline and accretive per share growth while displaying the resilience of flexibility of the Company’s business strategy and growing its asset base.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

The Company’s production base continues to grow at Murray Lake as a result of the EOR program that is showing very positive early results. The Mannville “A” Sunburst pool is estimated to have upwards of ~8.9 MMboe OOIP, with approximately 7.5% recovered to date. There are analog pools that have up to a 20% recovery factor. The Murray Lake EOR plan could result in a higher oil production which could exhibit low decline, low maintenance capital cost, which would in-turn drive free cash flow and superior capital returns.

CAPITAL PROGRAM

Throughout the first quarter and the month of April the Company completed the facility upgrades at Murray Lake 7-36-9-8W4M facility, including capacity expansion of the existing infrastructure, for a total capital spend of under $300,000.

OUTLOOK

The Company is well positioned with exit Q1/22 production at 135 boe/d, working capital surplus of over $500,000, $17 million of tax losses, net operating income of approx. $250,000 per month (at current strip prices) and additional production upside on the Murray Lake asset. The Company maintains a long-term focus on increasing production and free cash flow on a per share basis. The Company plans on taking advantage of opportunities to enhance growth, sustainability and repeatability of the Company’s business model focusing in Central and Southern Alberta.

The Company will continue to assess the free cash flow profile given the increase in asset performance paired with commodity prices increases, while balancing our capital program, future land acquisitions and production acquisitions opportunities.

Oil and Gas Advisories

Meaning of Boe

The term “boe” or barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Additionally, given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil, as compared to natural gas, is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1; utilizing a conversion ratio of 6:1 may be misleading as an indication of value.

Reserves Estimates

The estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.

Non-GAAP Measurements

The Company utilizes certain measurements that do not have a standardized meaning or definition as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS“) and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures by other entities, including but not limited to operating netback, cash flow and working capital. Readers are referred to advisories and further discussion on non-GAAP measurements contained in the Company’s continuous disclosure documents. Operating netback is a non‐GAAP measure calculated as the average per boe of the Company’s oil and gas sales, less royalties and operating costs.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Service Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
