And even as the stock falls, HWX's dividend yield gets higher. Once the oil price bottoms and their ongoing drilling starts increasing production, I expect both price appreciation and eventually a dividend increase. LC

QIMC Announces Significant Natural Hydrogen Discovery Expansion 11kms to the Northwest and New Land Acquisition Bringing Total Hydrogen Area to over 300 Square Kilometres newsfilecorp.com October 03, 2024 7:45 AM EDT \| Source: Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. Lachute, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - October 3, 2024) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QI Materials", "QIMC" or the "Company")- QIMC is pleased to announce a significant 11 km expansion of our natural renewable hydrogen discovery to the northwest. Recent soil gas measurements from Line 13, recorded at 594, 543, and 463 ppm, are the highest levels detected outside of those reported from Line 7 in our September 4 press release. These high readings, located 11 km northwest of the 1000 ppm samples collected on Line 7, highlight the district hydrogen-rich zone across QIMC's Ville Marie property. This milestone is supported by the collection of 1,057 soil samples. "Our recent findings have confirmed our natural renewable hydrogen model, underscoring the uniqueness of the geology and rock formations in the region. This further positions QIMC at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions, tapping into abundant and renewable Natural Hydrogen," notes John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC. In addition to our westward expansion, we are excited to announce the acquisition of new zones in the Duhamel, Fabre-West, and Bearn areas, located to the south of our current high ppm findings. These areas align with the geological indicators of our natural hydrogen district. With these strategic acquisitions, we have increased our total hydrogen land package to over 300 square kilometers. "Today marks a significant chapter in QIMC's journey," said John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC. "Our extensive sampling efforts and the confirmation of our hydrogen model demonstrate not only the richness of our geological discoveries but also our dedication to advancing sustainable energy initiatives allowing Quebec to achieve its low carbon emission goals." Westward Extension of High ppm Soil-Gas results The INRS Field team took advantage of the dry, warm weather of September 2024 to carry out complementary geochemical surveys to obtain, among other things, new Soil-Gas data in various sectors of the village of St-Bruno-de-Guigues. In total, the field team has collected 339 gas samples since September 2024, along 7 sections (lines 7-north, 12, 13, 14, 16, 40, 41, 42) (Fig.1). Combined with the Soil-Gas surveys of summer 2024, a total of 1,057 samples have been collected within the municipality of St-Bruno-de-Guigues.

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: images.newsfilecorp.com The field team also took advantage of this sampling period to validate the hypothesis that the hydrogen detected in the subsurface originates from bedrock and not from secondary biochemical processes involving glaciolacustrine sediments. For this important demonstration for QIMC, the field team sampled line 13, which borders Lake Témiscamingue in the area of the former Aiguebelle dolomite quarry (Fig. 3) and extended westward the hydrogen discovery area. Along this section, which is devoid of glaciolacustrine sediments, a very thin cover of till (50 cm to 1 m thick) rests on dolomitic limestones or sandstones of the Cobalt Group. "In contrast to the glaciolacustrine sediment-rich areas of the region, the CO2 concentrations of the hydrogen-rich samples from line 13 are very low. Once again, this finding is incompatible with the hypothesis that fermentation of organic matter could have produced biogenic hydrogen" states Prof Marc Richer-Laflèche, scientific head of the INRS' Applied Geoscience Laboratory. Geological observations along line 13 show a 1-meter subsidence of the dolomitic limestone platform associated with a network of tight fractures. Hydrogen-rich samples from line 13 (463 and 543 ppm at stations 1400 m and 1450 m, and 594 ppm at station 1750 m) line up along this fracture zone, which parallels the tectonic grain of the Lake Temiskaming graben. "This observation also supports our conceptual exploration model highlighting the importance of graben faults in the process of hydrogen transfer from deep geological sources" notes Prof Marc Richer-Laflèche. Figure 2: Location map, simplified geology (SIGÉOM-MRNF) and Soil-Gas section of line 13 along Lake Témiscamingue. Note the very high hydrogen concentrations from stations 1250m to 1900m, over a length of 650ms To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: images.newsfilecorp.com Natural renewable hydrogen model A 4.15 km-long survey was carried out along chemin de l'aéroport to test the green belt model, proposed by Prof., to explain, among other things, the formation of hydrogen beneath the St-Bruno-de-Guigues sedimentary rock basin. The model predicted, among other things, minimal hydrogen concentrations in the airport area to the east of our model, as the Precambrian basement beneath the sedimentary rocks consists mainly of sodic granitoids (trondhjemite) (poor in Fe, Mg and K) and not Fe- and Mg-rich greenbelt rocks. Data from the St-Bruno-de-Guigues airport road (route à Lemieux), presented in Figure 3, effectively show the near-absence of hydrogen over several kilometers. "This observation confirms the initial model, which requires very large volumes of greenbelt rocks (Fe-rich basalts, komatiites, peridotites and iron formations) beneath the sedimentary rock cover of the Cobalt and New-Liskeard Groups," said Prof. Richer-LaFlèche. "Note that along the Airport Road section, the terrain is covered by sedimentary rocks of the Cobalt Group (sandstones and conglomerates) and dolomitic limestones of the New-Liskeard Group, which form a topographic elevation in the area", continues Prof. Richer-LaFlèche. Extension of hydrogen zone in the Duhamel-Ouest, Fabre and Béarn areas In support of its strategy as a leader in natural renewable hydrogen in Quebec, QIMC has extended its holdings south of Ville-Marie in the sedimentary rock terrains bordering Lake Témiscamingue. "As a result, all the high priority targeted hydrogen fields in the Témiscamingue region are now spatially grouped together" states John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC. The Duhamel-Ouest-Fabre-Béarn (DOFB) area, located south of Ville-Marie, contains most of the components of the volcanic belt-graben model used by QIMC and INRS to guide exploration work in the St-Bruno-de-Guigues area. Figure 4: Simplified regional map showing exploration sectors A, B and C of the Ville-Marie project. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: images.newsfilecorp.com "Located more than 30 km from St-Bruno-de-Guigues, the bedrock in the DOFB sector is different in places and contains, among other things, several geological features highly favorable for hydrogen," notes Prof Richer-Laflèche. In this part of Témiscamingue, the sedimentary rocks of the Cobalt Group are injected by numerous Nipissing mafic dykes that, locally, form sills (sub-horizontal intrusions) that can act as impermeable barriers limiting the ascent of hydrogen to the surface. "This geological context is reminiscent of the Bourakébougou hydrogen deposit in Mali, where diabase sills delineate the tops of hydrogen reservoirs that are commercially exploited to generate electricity," continues Prof Richer-Laflèche. Other features specific to the DOFB area are the considerable elevation of the sedimentary rock hills of the Cobalt Group and the presence of powerful faults bringing volcanic rocks and Proterozoic sedimentary rocks into contact. "As highlighted on the map in figure 4, mafic volcanic rocks appear to underlie the sedimentary basin, as suggested by the presence of numerous windows of volcanic rocks located at the periphery of the Cobalt Group sedimentary rocks. The INRS team considers this to be another high target priority area for hydrogen and further compliments the existing hydrogen portfolio," states Prof Richer-Laflèche. s. Figure 5: Simplified geological map of Exploration Zone C, located south of Ville-Marie in the municipalities of Duhamel-Ouest, Fabre and Béarn. The area is particularly affected by powerful faults (NE-Fault) and second-order faults in the cliffs bordering Lake Témiscamingue. Note that Green Belt rocks are ubiquitous around the periphery of the Cobalt Group sedimentary plateau. Modified simplified geological map from SIGÉOM (MRNF).

QIMC Unveils Landmark Geophysical Survey Findings in its natural hydrogen Ville Marie project newsfilecorp.com October 24, 2024 8:00 AM EDT \| Source: Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. Lachute, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2024) - Quebec Innovative Materials Corp. (CSE: QIMC) (FSE: 7FJ) ("QI Materials", "QIMC" or the "Company"), is proud to announce the very successful results of the non-invasive geophysical surveys conducted in the St-Bruno-de-Guigues area of Témiscamingue. These surveys were commissioned by QIMC to its partner the INRS following the detection of high hydrogen soil-gas anomalies during its summer soil sampling covering an area of 80km2. "We are thrilled with the outcome of these geophysical surveys on the first 3 lines measured, said John Karagiannidis, CEO of QIMC. " The results are in line with our expectations and further confirms Professor Marc Richer-Lafleche hydrogen model of a deep seated hydrothermal source. Even without drilling data, the anomalies seen in the imagery along line 1 suggest a break in the clay horizon's integrity, potentially allowing hydrogen to migrate to the surface. Also, the disturbances on line 3, combined with strong hydrogen soil anomalies, point to the likely presence of gas in the sediments. This geophysics data provides a clear and detailed understanding of the Quaternary geology underlying the hydrogen anomalies and the reservoirs. These findings are critical for future exploration and natural hydrogen development in our natural hydrogen Ville Marie project, as they provide a comprehensive understanding of the area's geology, faulting and gas seepage dynamics reservoir structures" To document the characteristics of the terrain beneath these high hydrogen soil anomalies, QIMC partnered with the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) to carry out cutting-edge geoelectric tomography (GTS). This technique allows for the detailed mapping of subsurface geological features without the need for invasive stratigraphic drilling. Surveys The first survey (figure 1), carried out in October 2024, involved the production of sub-surface imagery with very high spatial resolution (inter-electrode distance spacing of 5 m). This will be followed, in November 2024, by a geoelectric tomography survey with a vertical penetration of the order of 350 m (inter-electrode distance spacing of 20 m), and subsequently by an audiomagnetotellurics (AMT) survey with high vertical penetration of the kilometer order. Being particularly sensitive to the presence of electrical discontinuities associated with faults, this method should make it possible to locate and prioritize the importance of faults associated with the Témiscamingue graben. Concurrently with these surveys, a gravity survey (50m stations) is being currently carried out to document regional variations in the thickness of the sedimentary rock basin. Figure 1. Line 1 survey line and line 3 East and North survey lines To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: images.newsfilecorp.com Objective One of the objectives of INRS and QIMC is to identify areas of maximum thickening of the sedimentary rock sequence overlying the Archean basement in order to identify the most likely places for the reservoirs. This objective should be easy to achieve, given the difference in density between the Proterozoic and Ordovician sedimentary rocks and the volcanic and intrusive rocks of the Baby Group (greenstone belt). The data generated by the galvanic and electromagnetic geoelectric surveys will also be used to optimize the injection and recording parameters for the electromagnetic data (TDEM) to be measured in winter 2024 going into early 2025. The latter will be acquired using a mobile ground-based system capable of producing electrical resistivity and electrical chargeability sections with vertical penetration of the order of 100-200 m and horizontal resolution of the order of 15 cm. This system is essential for locating fractures and faults masked by glaciolacustrine deposits, and for distinguishing Ordovician sedimentary rocks (less resistive) from Proterozoic sedimentary rocks (more resistive). Geoelectric tomographic survey The INRS team carried out a very high-resolution geoelectrical tomography (electrical resistivity and chargeability) survey to produce electrical resistivity and chargeability imagery along lines 1 and 3Est and north of line 3E. The objectives of the survey were to: 1) provide imagery to assess overburden thickness variability, 2) clarify the stratigraphy of Quaternary sediments overlying sedimentary rocks, and 3) verify that the strong hydrogen anomalies detected during the Soil-Gas survey are not associated with simple sulfide weathering processes. "This last point is critical", notes Professor Marc Richer-Laflèche, head of INRS' Applied Geoscience Laboratory, "as the aim of the project is to locate hydrogen anomalies originating from deep-seated sources, rather than small local anomalies associated with the weathering of sulphides located at the contact between mineralized bedrock and local groundwater. " The survey was carried out using a Terameter LS (10 channels) and multi-connector cables. Acquisitions were carried out in gradient mode. Zond RS2D software was used for quality control, data inversion and 2D imaging. "The results obtained indicate that geoelectrical tomography is an effective method that works remarkably well in the electrically conductive terrain of St-Bruno-de Guigues" states Professor Richer-Laflèche. "In the very high spatial resolution acquisition mode, the method reveals the presence of several sedimentary horizons in the Quaternary sequence, and pinpoints the position of the contact with the rocks of the sedimentary basin." Section Line 1 Figure 2. A) High-resolution geoelectrical tomographic imaging of a portion of the rang IV road (line 1: rte du 4ième rang) in St-Bruno-de-Guigues. B) Contrast enhancement by scaling electrical resistivity values. Modeling and 2D data inversion: M.R. LaFlèche). To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: images.newsfilecorp.com Section along line 1 (rte du quatrième rang): This survey was carried out in the area of the first hydrogen anomaly discoveries (July 2024) in the northern part of St-Bruno-de-Guigues. The section clarifies the contact between bedrock (between I and II) and the Quaternary sequence, comprising some 5 units (II: sand and gravels; III: clays; IV: sands; V: clays and silty sands at the top)(Fig. 2 a). "The imagery obtained along line 1 also shows significant heterogeneity, particularly affecting horizon III, which according to our model would be a low-permeability clay-rich horizon (Fig. 2b)" notes Professor Richer-Laflèche. "Despite the absence of drilling in this area, we believe that this anomalous domain marks a break in the tightness of a clay horizon", continues Professor Richer-Laflèche, "allowing gases such as hydrogen to ascend to the sub-surface and soils." Section north of line 3E This 1500m-long section was laid parallel to line 3E to avoid electrical interference associated with a transmission line located along chemin du Quai (line 3E). Note that the Soil-Gas survey for line 3E reported very strong hydrogen anomalies that could not be explained by surface observations. "The section shows a more complex geological and topographical context than line 1 (Fig. 3a). In the central part, the bedrock becomes sub-outcropping sub-flush (I) (Lorrain Fm sandstone) and shows more conductive sub-vertical anisotropies, which we interpret as major fractures that could be important in the process of hydrogen transfer to the surface(VI and VII)" states Professor Richer-Laflèche. "Note that these fractures (or faults) affect sub-horizontally dipping sedimentary rocks. As with the Line 1 section, it shows the presence of sandy-gravelly (III and IV) and silty-clay (V) sediments (Fig. 3a), which also appear disturbed in sectors VIII and IX (Fig. 3b and C). Despite the absence of drilling data at present, we interpret these disturbances as electrical resistivity anomalies related to the probable presence of gas in the sediments, as they are located in an area characterized by strong hydrogen anomalies in the soils (ref. Soil-Gas survey on line 3 East)." Figure 3. A) High-resolution geoelectric tomographic imagery calculated from data collected along a section located north of Chemin du Quai (line 3E)in St-Bruno-de-Guigues. B and C) Contrast enhancement by scaling electrical resistivity values. Modeling and 2D data inversion: M.R. LaFlèche. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: images.newsfilecorp.com Probable origin of disturbances observed in high-resolution ERT imagery The presence of sub-vertical electrical resistivity anisotropies, affecting glaciolacustrine sediments, could be explained by different geological processes. Given the seismic context of the region, the increase in electrical resistivity values in silty clays could be explained, among other things, by the emplacement of non-cohesive sand dykes in cohesive silty-clay sediments. In fact, an earthquake-related sand eruption was observed in the Témiscamingue graben Northeast of New Liskeard (Doughty et al., 2010). "We believe that the presence of sub-vertical sandy dykes (more porous and permeable) could promote the ascent of hydrogen through the clay-silt cover (impermeable) and thus produce hydrogen anomalies in the soils." states Professor Richer-Lafèche. "Also, locally, if the gas flow is significant (advective flux sectors), subvertical resistive anomalies could be linked to the presence of significant quantities of gas, thus explaining a localized increase in electrical resistivity values." This will be further confirmed by geotechnical drilling planned for Spring 2025. "Deeper data, located in the sandstone horizon of the Lorrain Formation (Cobalt Gp), suggest that despite the sub horizontal nature of the stratification of the sandstone units, these rocks appear fractured and probably faulted," notes Professor Richer-Laflèche. "This is underlined by a sharp drop in electrical resistivity values. This type of rock discontinuity could be an exploration vector for advective gas flow zones in Proterozoic, Ordovician and Silurian sedimentary rocks of the Témiscamingue graben." "The successful results of these surveys mark a significant step forward in QIMC's efforts to explore and harness Ville Marie's natural hydrogen resources in a responsible and sustainable manner." continues John Karagiannidis, president of QIMC. The data collected from the geophysical surveys will be further analyzed and integrated into QIMC's ongoing exploration strategy for the region, ensuring that future developments are grounded in sound geological understanding. QIMC will continue to engage with local stakeholders and provide updates as the project progresses. The company is committed to maintaining transparency and fostering positive relationships with the community throughout this process. Reference: Doughty, M., Eyles N., and Daurio, L., 2010.

On 29 October 2024, i3 Energy announced that the Court had sanctioned the Scheme at the Sanction Hearing held on 29 October 2024.

Dealing and Opening Position Disclosure Requirements

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code, any person who is interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is, or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if later, following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified.

An Opening Position Disclosure must contain details of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th Business Day following the commencement of the Offer Period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the 10th Business Day following the announcement in which any securities exchange offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Takeover Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in one per cent. or more of any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person's interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities exchange offeror(s), save to the extent that these details have previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 p.m. (London time) on the Business Day following the date of the relevant dealing. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4). Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the Disclosure Table on the Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk, including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the Offer Period commenced and when any offeror was first identified.

In accordance with Rule 26.1 of the Code, a copy of this announcement is and will be available free of charge, subject to certain restrictions relating to persons resident in Restricted Jurisdictions, for inspection on i3 Energy 's website i3.energy and on Gran Tierra's website grantierra.com by no later than 12 noon (London time) on the Business Day following this announcement. For the avoidance of doubt, the contents of the website referred to in this announcement are not incorporated into and do not form part of this announcement.

Forward Looking Statements

This announcement (including information incorporated by reference into this announcement), oral statements regarding the Acquisition and other information published by Gran Tierra and i3 Energy contain certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, strategies, objectives, results of operations and businesses of Gran Tierra and i3 Energy and their respective groups and certain plans and objectives with respect to the Combined Group. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward looking statements are prospective in nature and are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections of the management of Gran Tierra and i3 Energy about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The forward looking statements contained in this announcement include, without limitation, statements relating to the expected effects of the Acquisition on Gran Tierra and i3 Energy, the expected timing and method of completion, and scope of the Acquisition, the expected actions of i3 Energy and Gran Tierra upon completion of the Acquisition and other statements other than historical facts. Forward looking statements often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "strategy", "focus", "envision", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aims", "continue", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could", or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by Gran Tierra, and/or i3 Energy in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future and the factors described in the context of such forward looking statements in this announcement could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct and readers are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Actual results may vary from the forward-looking statements.

There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements are changes in the global, political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory forces, future exchange and interest rates, changes in tax rates and future business acquisitions or dispositions.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as at the date of this announcement. Neither Gran Tierra nor i3 Energy, nor their respective groups assume any obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise), except as required by applicable law or by the rules of any competent regulatory authority.

Certain of the information in this announcement is being issued under the early warning reporting provisions of Canadian securities laws. An early warning report with additional information in respect of the foregoing matters will be filed and made available under the SEDAR profile of i3 Energy at www.sedarplus.ca.

Touchstone Exploration Announces Initial Production from Cascadura C accesswire.com CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2024 / Touchstone Exploration Inc. ("Touchstone", "we", "our" or the "Company") (TSX:TXP)(LSE:TXP) announces initial production from the Cascadura C well pad. Touchstone has safely commissioned the flowline connecting our Cascadura C surface location to the Cascadura natural gas processing plant, which ties in our Cascadura-2ST1 and Cascadura-3ST1 wells. Additionally, a new natural gas separator has been installed and brought online, expanding the plant's gross natural gas processing capacity to approximately 140 million cubic feet per day. We are currently conducting production testing operations on the Cascadura-2ST1 well and expect to advance to the Cascadura-3ST1 well thereafter. Isochronal tests will be performed on both wells to evaluate their production capacity and refine future production models. These tests involve flowing each well at various choke sizes to measure flow rates and pressures, followed by pressure buildup periods to assess reservoir performance. During this testing phase, all produced gas will be processed and sold. We expect to complete testing operations within the next two weeks, after which both the Cascadura-2ST1 and Cascadura-3ST1 wells will enter continuous production. Touchstone will provide additional flow rate details once testing concludes. Paul R. Baay, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are excited to announce the commencement of production from the Cascadura C pad, marking a significant milestone as tested volumes from these wells begin generating revenue. Following these well tests, our focus will be on determining optimal production levels to maximize recovery from this portion of the structure. Positioned at the boundary of our reserves booking, these wells offer an exciting opportunity to expand our reserves potential across the field as we continue to evaluate the Cascadura structure to the east. With the recent flowline installation and facility expansions, we have established strategic infrastructure throughout the Cascadura field, creating efficiencies that are expected to greatly reduce future cycle times from drilling to production." Touchstone Exploration Inc. Touchstone Exploration Inc. is a Calgary, Alberta based company engaged in the business of acquiring interests in petroleum and natural gas rights and the exploration, development, production and sale of petroleum and natural gas. Touchstone is currently active in onshore properties located in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

The i3 Energy acquisition has diversified Gran Tierra into Canada and has added 253 net booked drilling locations(1), 77% operated production totaling approximately 18,000 bbls of oil equivalent per day, almost 1.2 million acres (0.6 million acres net) including 53 gross sections in the Montney and 144 gross sections in the Clearwater, two of the most prolific plays in North America. The i3 Energy acquisition has increased Gran Tierra’s PDP reserves(1) by 42 million bbls of oil equivalent (“MMBOE”) or 96%, 1P(1) by 88 MMBOE an increase of 97%, and 2P(1) by 174 MMBOE an increase of 119%. We believe the currently depressed natural gas pricing we see in Western Canada will be alleviated as major Liquified Natural Gas projects including LNG Canada are brought online. In the short term, Gran Tierra will focus on developing the significant oil weighted assets in its Canadian and South American portfolio.

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new shareholders in Gran Tierra and look forward to engaging with, and updating them on the Company's strategy in the coming months. We look forward to the integration of our teams and are confident the combined company will have top tier technical and operational skill sets across a broad portfolio. We are eager to implement industry leading technology currently used in Canada in both our Ecuador and Colombia operations, and are equally looking forward to bringing our reservoir modeling, exploration knowledge and asset management expertise into Canada. Combined we are a much stronger company.

Additionally, having our six consecutive discovery in Ecuador and reaching the milestone of 1 million cumulative bbls of oil produced from our operations in Ecuador is a significant achievement for Gran Tierra, highlighting our strong presence and success in the region. The productivity of the Ecuador wells is a testament to the geology in the Oriente and Putumayo Basins, and underpins a key pillar of growth going forward. We remain excited about the potential of the Arawana-Bocachico play, and the two remaining Zabaleta wells to be drilled by the end of the year that will provide essential insights into the size and scope of this promising opportunity”, commented Gary Guidry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gran Tierra.

Operational Update:

Acquisition of i3 Energy
- On October 31, 2024, Gran Tierra completed its acquisition of i3 Energy. Gran Tierra is integrating the Canadian operations and are forecasting an active Q4 2024, including drilling 19 gross wells (8.4 net), targeting each of its core operating areas in Central AB, Simonette, Clearwater and Wapiti.
- The Company drilled 2 gross (2 net) horizontal Dunvegan oil wells at Simonette. These high-impact 2-mile wells are currently being stimulated and are expected to be brought on stream in late November. With success, Gran Tierra can drill 2 additional Dunvegan development wells in 2025.
- Clearwater activity commenced in mid-October with the Company’s first operated Clearwater multilateral well at Dawson (100% working interest). The 8-leg multilateral horizontal well (11,870 m of total lateral length) was a follow-up to the Company’s initial 6-leg (7,500 m of total lateral length) discovery at Dawson. The 8-leg well follow-up multilateral was located structurally up-dip of the discovery well and encountered high quality reservoir throughout while drilling. The well will be placed on production imminently as the rig has skidded to and spud the third Clearwater well from the same pad. The Company has been working to secure multiple pad sites at East Dawson to facilitate future expansion of the field, upon further operational success. Following these two wells the rig will move to Walrus and drill 2 prospective Falher sands.
- In addition to the operated capital program, Gran Tierra plans to participate in 10 gross (1.67 net) non-operated partner horizontal wells across its land base.
- In connection with i3 Energy acquisition closing on October 31, 2024, the Company amended and restated the existing revolving credit facility agreement of i3 Energy Canada Ltd. (“i3 Energy Canada”) with National Bank of Canada dated March 22, 2024. As a result of the amendment and restatement, among other things, the borrowing base was revised to C$100.0 million (US$74.1 million) with available commitment of a C$50.0 million (US$37.0 million) revolving credit facility comprised of C$35.0 million (US$25.9 million) syndicated facility and C$15.0 million (US$11.1 million) of operating facility. Subject to the next borrowing base redetermination which will occur on or before June 30, 2025, the revolving credit facility is available until October 31, 2025 with a repayment date of October 31, 2026, which may be extended by further periods of up to 364 days, subject to lender approval. The facility is undrawn.
Exploration
- Gran Tierra has successfully drilled its sixth consecutive oil discovery in Ecuador, the Charapa-B7 well. The wells drilled in Ecuador continue to yield strong results producing over 1 million cumulative bbls of oil to date which highlights the exceptional potential of the Oriente and Putumayo basins.

The drilling rig has been moved from the Charapa Block and mobilized to the Chanangue Block to drill two wells - the Zabaleta-K1 and Zabaleta Oeste-K1 exploration wells. The Zabaleta-K1 well is located four kilometers (“km”) to the east of the Arawana-J1 well drilled earlier this year and is 200 feet up structure. The well spud on October 22 2024, and we have currently drilled to 9,488 feet. Both wells will target the Basal Tena formation as well as assess potential in the T-Sand, U-Sand and B-Limestone.
During the Quarter, the 238 km2 3D seismic program of the Charapa Block was completed, the data has been processed and is currently being interpreted. Preliminary interpretations of the high-quality 3D data confirm potential prospectivity and additional areas of interest identified on seismic, including better definition over the Charapa structure. The 3D data will further delineate reserves, underpin future drilling locations scheduled for 2025 and support future development planning.

Development
- The planning, civil works, and facility construction at Cohembi in the Suroriente Block are progressing, paving the way for drilling operations to commence in late Q4 2024.
- Acordionero water treatment facilities expansion is expected to be completed mid-December which will result in an addition of 21,500 bbls of water handling per day which represents a 35% increase in water treatment capacity. This will allow for further well optimizations to increase injection and associated oil production. Gran Tierra continues to steadily increased total fluid production and water injection by ~18% per year to continue growing and maintaining oil production while improving sweep efficiencies and recoveries.

Key Highlights of the Quarter:

Production: Gran Tierra’s total average WI production, which is before the i3 acquisition that has an effective date of October 31, 2024, was 32,764 BOPD, which was consistent with the second quarter 2024 (“the Prior Quarter”). During the Quarter the Company had lower volumes in the Acordionero field caused by downtime related to workovers, partially offset by higher production in the Costayaco field in Colombia, and increased production from the Chanangue and Charapa Blocks in Ecuador as a result of a successful exploration drilling campaign.
Net Income: Gran Tierra incurred net income of $1 million, compared to a net income of $36.4 million in the Prior Quarter and a net income of $7 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA(2): Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $93 million compared to $103 million in the Prior Quarter and $119 million in the third quarter of 2023. Twelve month trailing Net Debt(2) to Adjusted EBITDA(2) was 1.3 times and the Company continues to have a long term target of 1.0 times.
Funds Flow from Operations(2): Funds flow from operations(2) was $60 million ($1.96 per share), up 31% from the Prior Quarter and down 24% from the third quarter of 2023.
Cash and Debt: As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $278 million, total debt of $787 million and net debt(2) of $509 million. During the Quarter, the Company issued additional $150 million of 9.50% Senior Notes due October 2029 and received cash proceeds of $140 million. Of the total amount of proceeds received, $100 million has been used for financing the purchase price and transaction costs related to the i3 Energy acquisition with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes.
Share Buybacks: As a result of the i3 Energy acquisition announced on August 19, 2024, Gran Tierra was required to pause its share buyback program resulting in only 371,130 shares repurchased during the Quarter. From January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 4.0 million shares, or 12% of shares issued and outstanding at January 1, 2023, from free cash flow(2).
Return on Average Capital Employed(2): The Company achieved return on average capital employed(2) of 17% during the Quarter and 16% over the trailing 12 months.

Additional Key Financial Metrics:

Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures of $53 million were lower than the $61 million in the Prior Quarter due to only operating one drilling rig during the Quarter compared to two in the Prior Quarter. Capital expenditures were up from $43 million compared to the third quarter of 2023 as a result of a more active exploration program in the Quarter when compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Oil Sales: Gran Tierra generated oil sales of $151 million, down 16% from the third quarter of 2023 as a result of weaker Brent pricing, higher Castilla, Vasconia and Oriente oil differentials and 4% lower sales volumes as a result of lower production. Oil sales decreased 9% from the Prior Quarter primarily due to a 7% decrease in Brent price and higher Castilla, Oriente, and Vasconia oil differentials offset by 1% higher sales volumes.
Quality and Transportation Discounts: The Company’s quality and transportation discounts per bbl were higher during the Quarter at $14.10, compared to $12.79 in the Prior Quarter and $11.83 in the third quarter of 2023. The Castilla oil differential per bbl widened to $8.83 from $8.21 in the Prior Quarter and from $6.64 in the third quarter of 2023 (Castilla is the benchmark for the Company’s Middle Magdalena Valley Basin oil production). The Vasconia differential per bbl widened to $5.07 from $4.00 in the Prior Quarter, and from $3.59 in the third quarter of 2023. Finally, the Ecuadorian benchmark, Oriente, per bbl was $9.15, up from $8.38 in the Prior Quarter, and up from $7.69 one year ago. The current(3) Castilla differential is approximately $8.50 per bbl, the Vasconia differential is approximately $5.00 per bbl and the Oriente differential is approximately $9.20 per bbl.
Operating Expenses: Gran Tierra’s operating expenses decreased by 2% to $46 million, compared to the Prior Quarter primarily due to lower workover costs, offset by higher lifting costs primarily associated with inventory fluctuations in Ecuador. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, operating expenses decreased by 7% from $49 million, primarily due to lower lifting costs associated with power generation, equipment rental and road maintenance, partially offset by higher workover activities. On a per bbl basis, operating expense decreased by 2% when compared to the third quarter of 2023 and decreased by 4% when compared to the Prior Quarter.
Transportation Expenses: The Company’s transportation expenses decreased by 31% to $4 million, compared to the Prior Quarter of $6 million and increased by 2% from the third quarter of 2023. Transportation expenses were higher than the same period in 2023 as a result of increases in trucking tariffs for Acordionero volumes and higher sales volumes transported in Ecuador during the Quarter. Transportation expenses, when compared to the Prior Quarter, were lower due to the utilization of shorter distance delivery points in the Quarter.
Operating Netback(2)(4): The Company’s operating netback(2)(4) was $34.18 per bbl, down 12% from the Prior Quarter and down 16% from the third quarter of 2023 commensurate with the decrease in Brent Price and higher differentials.
General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expenses: G&A expenses before stock-based compensation were $3.20 per bbl, down from $3.77 per bbl in the Prior Quarter due to lower consulting, business development and travel expenses and up from $2.68 per bbl, when compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Cash Netback(2): Cash netback(2) per bbl was $20.34, compared to $15.85 in the Prior Quarter primarily as a result of lower current tax expenses of $5.13 per bbl compared to a current tax expense of $14.54 per bbl in the Prior Quarter as a result of a one time tax adjustment incurred in the Prior Quarter. Compared to one year ago, cash netback(2) per bbl decreased by $5.14 from $25.48 per bbl as a result of lower operating netback primarily due to lower Brent pricing and higher differentials.

These filings are available on the SEC website at sec.gov and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on certain assumptions made by Gran Tierra based on management’s experience and other factors believed to be appropriate. Gran Tierra believes these assumptions to be reasonable at this time, but the forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Gran Tierra’s control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward looking statements. The risk that the assumptions on which the 2024 outlook are based prove incorrect may increase the later the period to which the outlook relates. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this press release and the fact that this press release remains available does not constitute a representation by Gran Tierra that Gran Tierra believes these forward-looking statements continue to be true as of any subsequent date. Actual results may vary materially from the expected results expressed in forward-looking statements. Gran Tierra disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable law. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

Following Gran Tierra’s acquisition of i3 Energy, investors should not rely on Gran Tierra’s previously issued financial and production guidance for 2024, which is no longer applicable on a combined company basis.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures as further described herein. These non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP. Investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income or loss, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Gran Tierra’s method of calculating these measures may differ from other companies and, accordingly, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as to not imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Operating netback, as presented, is defined as oil sales less operating and transportation expenses. See the table entitled Financial and Operational Highlights above for the components of consolidated operating netback and corresponding reconciliation.

Return on average capital employed as presented is defined as earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"; annualized, if the period is other than one year) divided by average capital employed (total assets minus cash and current liabilities; average of the opening and closing balances for the period).

Cash netback as presented is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, deferred tax expense or recovery, stock-based compensation expense or recovery, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss and other gain or loss. Management believes that operating netback and cash netback are useful supplemental measures for investors to analyze financial performance and provide an indication of the results generated by Gran Tierra’s principal business activities prior to the consideration of other income and expenses. A reconciliation from net income or loss to cash netback is as follows:

Funds flow from operations, as presented, is defined as net income or loss adjusted for DD&A expenses, deferred tax expense or recovery, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, non-cash lease expense, lease payments, unrealized foreign exchange gain, and other gain or loss. Management uses this financial measure to analyze performance and income or loss generated by our principal business activities prior to the consideration of how non-cash items affect that income or loss, and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. Free cash flow, as presented, is defined as funds flow from operations adjusted for capital expenditures. Management uses this financial measure to analyze cash flow generated by our principal business activities after capital requirements and believes that this financial measure is also useful supplemental information for investors to analyze performance and our financial results. A reconciliation from net income or loss to both funds flow from operations and free cash flow is as follows:

Presentation of Oil and Gas Information

All reserves value and ancillary information contained in this press release regarding Gran Tierra (not including reserves value and ancillary information regarding i3 Energy) have been prepared by the Company’s independent qualified reserves evaluator McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. (“McDaniel”) in a report with an effective date of December 31, 2023 (the “Gran Tierra McDaniel Reserves Report”) and calculated in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”) and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”), unless otherwise expressly stated. All reserves value and ancillary information contained in this press release regarding i3 Energy have been prepared by i3 Energy’s independent qualified reserves evaluator GLJ Ltd. (“GLJ”) in a fair market value report with an effective date of July 31, 2024 (the “i3 Energy GLJ Report”) and calculated in compliance with NI 51-101 and COGEH, unless otherwise expressly stated.

Barrel of oil equivalents (“boe”) have been converted on the basis of six thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) natural gas to 1 bbl of oil. Boe’s may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared with natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl would be misleading as an indication of value.

The following reserves categories are discussed in this press release: Proved (“1P”), 1P plus Probable (“2P”) and 2P plus Possible (“3P”) and Proved Developed Producing (“PDP”). Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves. Proved developed producing reserves are those proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty. Certain terms used in this press release but not defined are defined in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 – Revised Glossary to NI 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“CSA Staff Notice 51-324”) and/or the COGEH and, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the same meanings herein as in NI 51-101, CSA Staff Notice 51-324 and the COGEH, as the case may be.

Estimates of reserves for individual properties may not reflect the same level of confidence as estimates of reserves for all properties, due to the effect of aggregation. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions applied by McDaniel or GLJ in evaluating Gran Tierra’s or i3 Energy’s reserves, respectively, will be attained and variances could be material. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of crude oil and natural gas reserves. The reserves information set forth in the Gran Tierra McDaniel Reserves Report and the i3 Energy GLJ Report are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided therein. All reserves assigned in the Gran Tierra McDaniel Reserves Report are located in Colombia and Ecuador and presented on a consolidated basis by foreign geographic area.

Booked drilling locations of i3 Energy disclosed herein are derived from the i3 Energy GLJ Report and account for drilling locations that have associated 2P reserves.

References to a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume. Gran Tierra’s reported production is a mix of light crude oil and medium and heavy crude oil for which there is not a precise breakdown since the Company’s oil sales volumes typically represent blends of more than one type of crude oil. Well test results should be considered as preliminary and not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Well log interpretations indicating oil and gas accumulations are not necessarily indicative of future production or ultimate recovery. If it is indicated that a pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out, any data disclosed in that respect should be considered preliminary until such analysis has been completed. References to thickness of “oil pay” or of a formation where evidence of hydrocarbons has been encountered is not necessarily an indicator that hydrocarbons will be recoverable in commercial quantities or in any estimated volume.

This press release contains certain oil and gas metrics, including operating netback and cash netback, which do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be used to make comparisons. These metrics are calculated as described in this press release and management believes that they are useful supplemental measures for the reasons described in this press release.

Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of the future performance of the Company and future performance may not compare to the performance in previous periods.

References in this press release to IP30, IP90 and other short-term production rates of Gran Tierra are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production of Gran Tierra. Gran Tierra cautions that such results should be considered to be preliminary.

Disclosure of Reserve Information and Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors

Unless expressly stated otherwise, all estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and related future net revenue disclosed in this press release have been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101. Estimates of reserves and future net revenue made in accordance with NI 51-101 will differ from corresponding estimates prepared in accordance with applicable SEC rules and disclosure requirements of the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and those differences may be material. NI 51-101, for example, requires disclosure of reserves and related future net revenue estimates based on forecast prices and costs, whereas SEC and FASB standards require that reserves and related future net revenue be estimated using average prices for the previous 12 months. In addition, NI 51-101 permits the presentation of reserves estimates on a “company gross” basis, representing Gran Tierra's working interest share before deduction of royalties, whereas SEC and FASB standards require the presentation of net reserve estimates after the deduction of royalties and similar payments. There are also differences in the technical reserves estimation standards applicable under NI 51-101 and, pursuant thereto, the COGEH, and those applicable under SEC and FASB requirements.

In addition to being a reporting issuer in certain Canadian jurisdictions, Gran Tierra is a registrant with the SEC and subject to domestic issuer reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities law, including with respect to the disclosure of reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with U.S. federal securities law and applicable SEC rules and regulations (collectively, “SEC requirements”). Disclosure of such information in accordance with SEC requirements is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports and materials filed with or furnished to the SEC and, as applicable, Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The SEC permits oil and gas companies that are subject to domestic issuer reporting requirements under U.S. federal securities law, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only estimated proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions of such terms. Gran Tierra has disclosed estimated proved, probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC. In addition, Gran Tierra prepares its financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, which require that the notes to its annual financial statements include supplementary disclosure in respect of the Company's oil and gas activities, including estimates of its proved oil and gas reserves and a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserve quantities. This supplementary financial statement disclosure is presented in accordance with FASB requirements, which align with corresponding SEC requirements concerning reserves estimation and reporting.
