NEW STRATUS ENERGY ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 AND CORPORATE UPDATES

New Stratus Energy Inc.'s consolidated financial and operating results for the three and nine months ended Sept. 30, 2023, have been filed on SEDAR+.

Q3 2023 highlights:

• Working capital at the end of Q3 of $44,863,108 (37 cents per share);
• Net Income (loss) for Q3 of ($4,261,385) (three cents per share) which is slightly higher than the previous quarter primarily due to legal costs associated with pending acquisitions and the continued dispute with the government of Ecuador as well as severance costs associated with former employees in Ecuador.

Corporate updates:

• As disclosed on Aug. 29, 2023, the corporation has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a vendor to acquire operatorship and a high working interest in a light oil production block in Mexico. The deal is now expected to close in mid-December, 2023, with operatorship of a profit sharing contract for 14 years to begin on Jan. 1, 2024.
• As disclosed on Aug. 29, 2023, the corporation has signed a MOU with GoldPillar International Fund SPC Ltd., a private entity organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and which is in negotiations with Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company, to partner in mixed companies to develop oil and gas assets in Venezuela. The deal is now expected to close in mid-December, 2023, with operatorship of a profit sharing contract for 26 years to begin immediately after closing.
• The corporation recognizes that the closing of these two deals has taken significantly longer than expected and appreciate the patience of the company's loyal shareholders as the company looks to close them both imminently.

We seek Safe Harbor.
