SXE Strata X Energy Ltd

Highlights

The directors and management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. (“Strata-X” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:SXE) (ASX:SXA) are pleased to announce that the Company has secured a new Prospecting License for its 100% owned Serowe CSG Project covering 192 KM2 (47,400 acres). The new license adjoin those already held by the Company in the heart of the Botswana CSG fairway within the Company’s internally mapped highgraded area.  With the addition of this acreage, the Company now holds 4,784 KM2 (1,173,000 acres) over the Serowe CSG Project.

The Company is now finalizing contracts with contractors to drill two test wells within the highgrade area with a revised start date of late January 2019.  The revised start date is related to a minor delay in  receiving final government approvals for the EMP and to avoid drilling over the holidays.  The 2 well program is fully funded.

On securing the new tenement within the Botswana CSG Fairway, Ron Prefontaine, Strata-X Chairman stated, “I am very pleased with Strata-X’s progress to date. I would like to note the significant progress that we have made over the past year:

1) Extended the primary term of our leasehold out to 20252) Transformed an unworkable farmout into a 100% equity position3) Technical mapping resulted in a high grade area being identified with 100% gas saturated coals4) Acquired significant amount of additional leashold within the highgrade area.

Over the coming weeks we anticipate that we will have:

1) Final government approval of the Enviromental Management Plan2) Contracts executed for a two well drilling program3) Timetable for the first quarter of 2019

We are excited about the progress we have made and are looking forward to the results from our early 2019 drilling program”

Prospective Resources figures are from an audit report prepared by MHA Petroleum Consultant, a qualified reserves auditor, dated and effective 26 March 2018 following their audit in accordance with the COGE Handbook of the available technical data including the geological interpretation, information from relevant nearby wells, analogous reservoirs and the proposed program for the Project, prepared and presented to MHA by Strata-X. Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development project. Prospective Resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. A high level of uncertainty exists with the Prospective resources given the lack of historical drilling, available data and other productivity factors that limit the economic viability of coal seam gas deposits. The Report reviewed only Prospective Resources as the project is not sufficiently developed to assign Contingent Resources or additional Petroleum Reserves to it. Stated Prospective Resource figures are Best Estimate – undiscovered natural gas quantities and net of a royalty and are shown at a 100% working interest in the Project. The total costs associated with establishing the commerciality of this project are unknown at this time given the early stage of the Project’s development. There is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered, if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
