Capital Management Measure; See "Non-IFRS Financial Measures, Non-IFRS Financial Ratios and Capital Management Measures" Section of the Q3/22 MD&A
The Company's average production in Q1/23 was 173 boe/d, an increase of 29% from Q4/22. On January 30, 2023, the Company placed on production its 85% working interest natural gas well 102/6-11-15-26W4, which was entirely funded from working capital. Further details of the well results were disclosed in the March 6, 2023 press release.
During Q1/23 the Company had generated Adjusted Funds Flow of $106,493 (see "non-IFRS Financial Measures") compared to an adjusted funds flow deficit of $59,454 in Q4/22, due primarily to higher production and operating netbacks per boe and lower G&A on a per boe basis.
The Company exited Q1/23 with positive working capital of $445,586 and no debt and is positioned to continue to add production and growth opportunities within its existing means.

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.
