PERMEX PETROLEUM CORPORATION ANNOUNCES MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO POTENTIALLY FUND UP TO $25 MILLION USD TO DEVELOP CORE PERMIAN BASIN ASSETS

Permex Petroleum Corp. has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Chisos Ltd. to potentially finance up to $25-million (U.S.), in development capital from Chisos, a Houston-based private oil and gas operator and non-operated interest partner with interests across the United States.

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, Chisos has agreed to deploy up to $25-million (U.S.) in development capital to acquire a non-operating working interest of not more than 50 per cent in specific wells and leasehold to be developed and operated by Permex. The financing, which is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, is planned to occur over several tranches with the initial target tranche of $10-million (U.S.) to finance the drilling of eight vertical wells by Permex on its Breedlove asset in the Permian basin. Any financing by Chisos is contingent upon Permex matching funds dollar for dollar.

"We believe that this partnership signifies a tremendous vote of confidence in not only the asset quality of Permex's Midland basin leasehold but also of the operating team here at Permex. The non-operating structure of Chisos's potential investment speaks to the confidence Chisos's team has in Permex's operational capabilities and development plans," stated Permex chief executive officer Brad Taillon.

"We believe this opportunity could result in significant enterprise value for Permex and its shareholders by potentially funding the full development of Permex's core assets in the Midland basin. We also believe that this is a natural partnership given Chisos owner and founder James Perry Bryan's experience with our assets and as a previous member of the company's board of directors, and we are excited to partner with James Perry Bryan and his team at Chisos," added Mr. Taillon.

Chisos's CEO, Marshall Baker, stated, "Chisos has a history with this field and understands the potential value that exists across these assets -- we are excited to partner with Permex to help unlock that value."

Chisos is owned by long-time Texas oilman Mr. Bryan, known professionally for his role as CEO and president of Gulf Canada Resources Ltd., chairman and CEO of Nuevo Energy Company, CEO of Bellwether Exploration, and chairman and CEO of Torch Energy Advisors Inc., among many other significant roles. Mr. Bryan is a former Permex director and currently beneficially holds approximately 12.75 per cent of current Permex common shares outstanding on a partially diluted basis.
