Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Mr. McCabe converted the entire principal amount of the $100,000 convertible promissory note issued by the issuer in December 2020 into common stock of the issuer at its conversion price of $1.00 per share, totaling 100,000 shares.
(2)	McCabe Petroleum Corporation ("MPC") converted the entire principal amount of the $1.5 million convertible promissory note issued by the issuer in September 2020 (the "MPC Note") into common stock at its conversion price of $0.375 per share, totaling 4,000,000 shares.
(3)	On December 22, 2020, Mr. McCabe filed a Form 4 that reported MPC's acquisition of 313,480 shares of common stock on November 11, 2020. That Form 4 incorrectly stated that the amount of securities beneficially owned by MPC following that transaction was 3,126,960 shares of common stock. The correct amount was 2,813,480 shares of common stock.
(4)	Mr. McCabe is the sole owner of MPC, the holder of the MPC Note and the shares of the issuer's common stock issued in connection with the conversion thereof.
(5)	Mr. McCabe owns 50% of the outstanding membership interests of G Mc Exploration, LLC, which is the record owner of 797,099 shares of the issuer's common stock.
