Filing of 2017 Second Quarter Results

Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; TSX.V: ZEE), the dual listed international oil & gas production company operating the largest onshore oilfield in Azerbaijan, is pleased to announce the filing of its consolidated quarterly results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017.

These results were filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on November 15, 2017 in accordance with TSX and Alberta Security Commission rules.

Highlights for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 include the following:

-- The Company produced 23,095 and 47,954 barrels of oil from its assets in Azerbaijan. At the end of September 2017, there were 2,588 barrels of unsold oil production in Azerbaijan held in inventory which was sold in subsequent months.

   --    The Company sold 4,831 and 9,621 MCF of natural gas produced from its Italian assets. 
   --    The Company sold 264 and 488 barrels of condensate produced from its Italian 

assets.

   --    The Company sold 2,741 and 5,263 MWh of electricity generated from its Italian assets. 

-- The Company incurred CAD$931k in capital expenditure in the six months ended September 30, 2017, primarily resultant from the Company's field rehabilitation and development programme underway in Azerbaijan.

-- The Company announced that it had signed a contract for the procurement of oil production materials with Kerui Petroleum, a leading Chinese manufacturer of oilfield equipment, on August 21, 2017. The procurement of this new equipment will enhance Zenith's operational capabilities, enable the Company's personnel to work in remote field locations, and replenish Zenith's stock of oil production materials. The total value of the procurement contract was USD$1,706k (approximately GBP1,325k; CAD$2,146k).

Zenith Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Cattaneo, commented:

"These Q2 results confirm the transformational impact of Zenith's Azerbaijan acquisition on the Company's financial position.

I look forward to announcing increased production revenue in the next set of quarterly results as we achieve further growth in our daily production of oil."
