On December 23, 2021, the Company has issued a Press Release on: Economic Evaluation Report on the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases

The Report was prepared by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. ("Chapman") of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, with an effective date of November 30, 2021.

Canadian Evaluation:

- 26 million stock tank barrels of Proved Undeveloped bitumen reserves

- 82 MMSTB of Proved Plus Probable Undeveloped bitumen reserves

- US$265 million before-tax net present value of future net revenue for Proved Undeveloped bitumen reserves, discounted at 10%

- US$1,017 million before-tax NPV of future net revenue for Proved Plus Probable Undeveloped bitumen reserves, discounted at 10%

US Evaluation:

- Proved Undeveloped valuation US$213 million at 10% discount (BIT)

- Proved Plus Probable valuation US$790 million at 10% discount (BIT)

The bitumen reserves for the Asphalt Ridge NW Leases were evaluated using Chapman forecast pricing as at December 1, 2021. The NPV is prior to provision for interest, debt service charges, and general and administrative expenses. It should not be assumed that the NPV of future net revenue estimated by Chapman in the Report represents the fair market value of the reserves.

The deployment of the IP into multiple oil sand fields is a critical milestone in achieving Petroteq's goals for IP adoption.

The cash flow analysis was run on a pre-income tax basis, at discount rates of 0.0, 7.5 and 15 percent; the results show potential economic benefit in the base case of a Net Present Value (NPV) of $1,285, $602, and $341 million, respectively.

Broadlands notes the economic model and base case numbers may not be realized due to market factors. Meanwhile the Company continues with business as usual, awaiting the results of the tender offer.
