Point Loma Resources Announces Closing of Acquisition of Oil & Gas Assets - Amendment

Point Loma Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PLX) (the “

Corporation

” or “

Point Loma

”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired certain oil and gas assets from a private oil and gas company involved in a receivership process, with an effective date of November 1, 2017 (the “

Acquisition

”). After closing adjustments, the net purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately $779,000 for Point Loma’s 70 percent working interest share. 

The previously reported volumes and values per bullet four below were in error.

Highlights (figures gross unless stated otherwise):

• Point Loma (70 percent working interest) and Salt Bush Energy Ltd. (“Salt Bush”) have acquired assets concentrated in the west central area of Alberta contiguous to Point Loma’s existing area of focus.
• Production of approximately 450 boe/d (315 boe/d net), comprised of 35 percent oil and ngl’s.
• Approximately 29,000 acres (12,900 net acres) of undeveloped land and over 130 kilometers of proprietary seismic in Point Loma’s core area of west central Alberta.  
• The Acquisition had total proved reserves of 1.6 MMboe (1.1 MMboe net) and total proved reserve net present value, discounted at 10 percent, of $6.7 million ($4.7 million net).
• The Acquisition had estimated net operating income of $850,000 ($595,000 net) during the recent six month adjustment period (November 2017 – April 2018).
• The Acquisition has a liability management ratio (“LMR”) of 3.4, comprised of deemed assets of $11.5 million and deemed liabilities of $3.4 million.

The properties include areas with proved undeveloped locations booked in addition to the base production. Full summary tables of the reserves of the Acquisition were released in Point Loma’s March 19, 2018 press release.

Operational Update

The Thornbury area project is complete and Point Loma production currently exceeds 1,000 boe/d with an estimated 30 percent oil and ngl mix. Further ngl production gains are expected as Point Loma completes work to reroute existing production volumes and reactivate previously suspended volumes to a deep cut facility in the Paddle River area. The initial component of the project is anticipated to be completed in May 2018 for a potential increase of approximately 40 bpd of ngl’s with additional new volumes restarting later in the year with accompanying ngl production.

Point Loma will also continue to evaluate all producing wells for economic health during projected low natural gas prices in the summer months of 2018. This may result in some temporarily reduced production volumes, particularly natural gas, that can resume as prices increase.

“This is another accretive acquisition in our core area that will expand our opportunity base.” said Terry Meek, President and CEO of Point Loma. “As we continue forward in challenging times we feel the base we are accumulating will position us for excellent growth in the future.” 

Personnel Change

Point Loma announces the departure of Jamie Chisholm, Vice President Operations, to a new opportunity outside of the country, effective June 1, 2018. The Company wishes Jamie well in his new venture and thanks him for his contribution to Point Loma since inception.

Oil and Gas Information

“BOEs” 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. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
