ASX disclosure note - 5.28.2 - The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Illinois Basin ‘By-passed Pay’ Oil fields – What We Intend To Do
› New advanced mapping has thus far identified 12 potential “By-passed Pay” projects
› Less than 20% of the PIIP has been recovered by primary production methods
› Waterfloods have been proven in Illinois to recover more than 40% of the PIIP
› New polymer waterfloods have the potential to unlock an additional 20% of the PIIP
› Drilling Oak and Maple prospects aim to achieve an additional 3 to 6 million bbl 2P1
› Each additional project aims to add 1+ million bbl 2P with finding cost of ~USD$300k per well1
Multi-well program to delineate low cost, low risk oil in “By-passed Pay” Oil Fields
Simple Programme with High Chance of Success
Potential upside of 10 to 12 million bbls producing 6000-7000 bopd once fully developed1
Significant Upside Potential

Strata-X Energy Ltd. TSX:SXE ASX:SXA9
How do we intend to do it?
› More than 10,000 wells have been drilled in the prospect area, most 50+ years ago using primitive techniques
› Numerous robust fields were found but many smaller, yet highly economic accumulations were over looked at the then prevailing low oil prices•More than 1.5 billion barrels have been produced
in the immediate area from target formations.
› Risk evaluation costs is only USD$175,000 for each of these “By-passed Pay” accumulations
› Probability of Success is high due to the good well control from historic drilling
› First Attempt – Blue Spruce is Successful• 1.28 mmbbl 2P Reserves net to Strata-X1
• Anticipate 600 bopd peak production1
• $53.4 mm NPV (10% disc, before tax)1
