Petrolympic Commente La Dernière Conférence Annuelle De L’apgq Et Fournit Des Mises À Jour Sur La Planification Des Opérations

TORONTO, ONTARIO – Petrolympic Ltd. (« Petrolympic » ou la « Compagnie ») (TSX-V: PCQ, OTCQB: PCQRF) est heureux de présenter ses observations sur la dernière conférence annuelle de l'Association Pétrolière et Gazière du Québec (l' « APGQ ») et d'annoncer des mises à jour sur la planification des opérations de terrain de la Compagnie dans ses propriétés de Mitis et de Matapédia (les « Propriétés ») détenues à 100% en Gaspésie/Bas-Saint Laurent.

Petrolympic présentait à la 7ème conférence annuelle de l'APGQ qui s'est tenue à Montréal plus tôt cette semaine sous le thème « Chantier pétrole et gaz : c'est le temps de travailler ensemble au Québec! » (voir le site internet de l'APGQ : http://www.apgq-qoga.com/). La Compagnie a reçu une bonne visibilité à cette conférence qui a rassemblé des professionnels de l'industrie de différents horizons. De nombreux investisseurs importants ainsi que des régulateurs de différentes juridictions étaient également présents. L'atmosphère générale de la conférence était très positive et beaucoup de projets d'exploration et de développement intéressants ont été présentés à travers la province, confirmant que le Québec est ouvert aux affaires et qu'il y a encore de la place pour de nombreux autres projets pétroliers et gaziers dans la province.

Le Ministre de l'Énergie et des Ressources naturelles, M. Pierre Arcand, était également présent et il a souligné que le développement de ses propres ressources pétrolières et gazières serait très bénéfique pour le Québec, qui importe actuellement 100 % du pétrole et du gaz qu'il consomme. Le remplacement du pétrole importé par du gaz naturel produit localement pourrait également faciliter et accélérer les efforts déployés par la province pour réduire ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

Le gouvernement du Québec est maintenant entré dans les dernières étapes des deux Évaluations Environnementales Stratégiques lancées en 2014 et qui seront complétées le mois prochain. Le gouvernement va également bientôt dévoiler sa nouvelle Politique Énergétique, qui sera suivie d'une Loi sur les Hydrocarbures et d'un nouvel ensemble de règlements qui fourniront un cadre réglementaire stable et prévisible pour l'industrie. Depuis juin 2015 le gouvernement s'est également engagé à investir jusqu'à 1 milliard de dollars en fonds publics pour prendre des participations dans des sociétés des secteurs pétrolier et minier par le biais du « Fonds Capital – Mines – Hydrocarbures ». Ce nouveau fonds sera orienté de manière à encourager la réalisation de projets d'investissement ayant des perspectives de rentabilité pour le fonds, mais aussi un potentiel de retombées économiques importantes pour la province.

Mendel Ekstein, Président et Chef de la Direction de Petrolympic, commente ainsi les nouvelles : « Le gouvernement maintient le cap à un rythme soutenu dans le programme qu'il a établi pour définir un portefeuille énergétique bien équilibré pour le Québec. L'industrie pétrolière et gazière a sa place dans ce portefeuille et, si elle est bien gérée, elle aura un impact très positif et significatif sur la situation économique, sociale et environnementale de la province. Petrolympic fait partie de la solution et contribuera au développement du Québec grâce à ses efforts d'exploration en cours. Plusieurs structures au potentiel important ont été identifiées dans nos propriétés et nous sommes sur le point de les valider sur le terrain. »

Mises à Jour sur la Planification des Opérations

Petrolympic poursuit activement les préparatifs d'un forage qui vise des anomalies sismiques prometteuses dans sa Propriété de Mitis, tel qu'annoncé dans un communiqué de presse daté du 31 août 2015, (dont la version complète est disponible sur le site www.sedar.com sous le profil Petrolympic). Les opérations sur le terrain seront annoncées dès que tous les permis, équipements et préparatifs seront complétés. Plusieurs cibles de forage additionnelles ont été également identifiées dans les Propriétés de Mitis et Matapédia et un programme d'exploration complet a été établi pour révéler le plein potentiel de ces propriétés détenues à 100 % par la Compagnie.

Dans le même temps Petrolympic collabore aussi étroitement avec son partenaire Ressources et Énergie Squatex Inc. (« Squatex »), pour développer la structure Massé et le reste de sa vaste propriété détenue en entente d'opération conjointe et opérée par Squatex, qui est située en Gaspésie/Bas Saint-Laurent à proximité des Propriétés de Matapédia et Mitis.

Les modèles d'exploration de Petrolympic, validés par les récents résultats, privilégient des réservoirs conventionnels de gaz naturel et de condensats. Des quantités importantes de pétrole peuvent être également présentes, qui augmenteraient la valeur de chaque découverte. Une production commerciale peut être réalisée à un coût très faible et les marchés local, régional et provincial sont déjà disponibles et peuvent être rejoints rapidement par divers moyens de transport. Cette polyvalence confère une grande souplesse dans la façon dont nous allons développer nos vastes propriétés.

Petrolympic Comments On The Last Qoga Annual Conference And Provides Updates On Operations Planning

Toronto, Ontario – Petrolympic Ltd. ("Petrolympic" or the "Company") (TSX-V: PCQ, OTCQB: PCQRF) is pleased to comment on the recent annual conference of the Quebec Oil and Gas Association (the "QOGA") and to announce updates on the planning of the Company's field operations in its 100% owned Mitis and Matapedia properties (the "Properties") in the Gaspe/Lower St. Lawrence area.

Petrolympic was presenting at the 7th QOGA annual conference that was held in Montreal earlier this week under the theme "Oil and gas: Time to work" (see QOGA's website: http://www.apgq-qoga.com/en/). The Company received good exposure at this conference that gathered professionals of the industry from various horizons. Many high profile investors and regulators from different jurisdictions were also present. The overall atmosphere of the meeting was very positive and many interesting exploration and development projects across the province were presented, confirming that Quebec is open for business and that there is room for many more new O&G projects in the province.

The Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Mr. Pierre Arcand, was also present and emphasized that developing its own O&G resources would be highly beneficial for Quebec, which currently imports 100% of the oil and the gas it consumes. The switch from imported oil to locally-produced natural gas would also facilitate and accelerate the efforts of the province to curb its green house gases emissions.

The Quebec government has now entered in the final steps of two Strategic Environmental Assessments initiated in 2014 and that will be completed next month. The government also will soon unveil its new Energy Policy plan, followed by an O&G Law and a new set of regulations that will provide a stable and predictable regulatory framework to the industry. Since June 2015 the government has also committed itself to invest up to $1 billion of public funds to take stakes in companies of the oil and the mining sectors through the "Fonds Capital–Mines–Hydrocarbures". This new fund will be oriented so as to support the realization of investment projects which have prospects of profitability for the fund as well as a potential for significant economic benefits for the province.

Petrolympic CEO Mendel Ekstein commented: "The government stays the course of the fast pace program it has defined to establish a well balanced energy portfolio for Quebec. The O&G industry has its place in this portfolio and, if managed properly, it will have a very positive and significant impact on the economic, social and environmental situation of the province. Petrolympic is part of the solution and will contribute to the development of Quebec through its ongoing exploration efforts. Several high potential structures have been identified in our properties and we are about to validate them in the field."

Operations Planning Update

Petrolympic is actively pursuing the preparations to drill a well targeting promising seismic anomalies in its Mitis Property, as announced in a press release dated August 31, 2015, (the full version of which can be found on www.sedar.com under Petrolympic profile). Operations on the ground would be announced as soon as all permitting, equipment and preparations will be available. Several additional drilling targets have been also identified in the Mitis and Matapedia Properties and a complete exploration program has been prepared to reveal the full potential of these 100% owned Properties.

In the mean time Petrolympic is also working closely with its partner Ressources et Énergie Squatex Inc. ("Squatex"), to develop the Masse structure and the rest of its vast joint venture property operated by Squatex and located in the Gaspe/Lower St. Lawrence area next to the Matapedia and Mitis Properties.

Petrolympic's exploration models, validated by recent results, favor conventional reservoirs of natural gas and condensates. Significant amounts of oil may be present as well, that would increase the value of each discovery. Commercial production can be achieved at very low costs and local, regional and province-wide markets are already available and can be quickly accessed by various means of transportation. This versatility confers a significant flexibility in the way we will develop our vast properties.

Petrolympic Announces Planning Of Operations In Mitis Property And General Updates

TORONTO, ONTARIO – Petrolympic Ltd. (“Petrolympic” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: PCQ, OTCQB: PCQRF) is pleased to announce that a drilling location has been identified and field operations are being planned in its 100% owned Mitis property (the “Property”) in the Gaspe/Lower St. Lawrence area.

Petrolympic has identified several promising conventional drilling targets on the Property after reprocessing and reinterpreting its proprietary seismic data. Three of these targets are located close to each other in a faulted anticline and are combined in one structure. Each of them corresponds to a seismic anomaly indicating the probable presence of oil and/or gas.

The depths for this prospect range from about 2,130 feet deep for the shallow target down to 3,450 feet for the deepest one. At least two of the three targets can be reached by the same well using directional drilling equipment. A drilling program is being prepared and operations in the field would be announced as soon as all permitting, equipment and preparations will be available. Other prospective targets also identified at greater depths within the Property will be considered in the following phases of the exploration program.

The combination of proprietary data and recent surface geology maps suggests that the target formation corresponds to the lower Silurian-aged Val-Brillant sandstones. Outcrops northeast of the Property further indicate that significant primary and secondary porosity can be present in the Val-Brillant sandstones. Bitumen coatings in the pores have been observed in the same outcrops and are evidence of past oil migration in the system.

These projects will be undertaken in parallel to the work program proposed by the Company’s joint venture partner Ressources et Énergie Squatex Inc. (“Squatex”), in the adjacent Massé structure area, in which Petrolympic holds a 30% working interest. In its press release dated July 31, 2015, (the full version of which can be found on www.sedar.com under Squatex profile) (the "Squatex Press Release"), Squatex provided as follows: “The stratigraphic coring Massé No.1 and No.2 obtained significant shows of gas with condensate and oil (20o API). These holes were drilled on seismic AVO anomalies type (amplitude vs. offset) indicating the probable presence of reservoirs with significant porosity in zones of hydrothermal dolomitization within the Sayabec Formation. The geophysical interpretation performed by Squatex shows that AVO anomaly zones observed could extend over more than 300 km2.”

In the Squatex Press Release, Squatex also indicated that by the end of 2015, it will make all efforts needed to evaluate the potential of the Massé structure. Squatex further advised that conditional on obtaining sufficient funding, it “plans to drill three additional core holes respectively reaching depths of 1600, 1800 and 2000 meters over porosity anomalies located at 5km, 10Km and 20km from the Massé No.1 and No.2 locations.”

Squatex also announced, in a press release dated August 25, 2015, (which can be found on www.sedar.com under Squatex profile), “the conclusion of an academic partnership with the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) to conduct important geosciences studies in the Lower St. Lawrence area. These studies will provide a 3D modeling and a determination of the reservoir potential of the Sayabec Formation.”

Petrolympic CEO Mendel Ekstein commented: “Developing the hydrocarbon potential of our properties is at the heart of Petrolympic’s strategy and we believe that the environmental performance and the competitiveness of local end-users, as well as of larger industries located nearby in the Gaspe Peninsula and the North Shore, would greatly benefit from low-cost, locally-produced, conventional hydrocarbon resources.”

These efforts come at a time when the Quebec government is actively encouraging the building of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities to facilitate access to clean energy sources for businesses that are not connected to the existing natural gas distribution networks. To name but a few measures, the building of a large LNG plant in Becancour has been approved just this week and the 2015-2016 Quebec budget includes provisions for incentives to develop new LNG facilities across the Province.

Annual Shareholders Meeting

The Company is also pleased to announce that all items on the agenda were approved at the Company's annual and special shareholders meeting held on August 20, 2015 (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the shareholders of Petrolympic ratified the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan, appointed Collins Barrow Toronto LLP as auditors of the Company for the ensuing year, and authorized the directors to fix their remuneration. In addition, each of the current directors of Petrolympic, being Mendel Ekstein, Andreas Jacob, Alain Fleury, Frank Ricciuti, Miles Pittman, Rodger Creamer and Glenn MacNeill, were re-elected.

Le Président de Petrolympic Commente le Budget du Québec et les Perspectives d’Avenir

TORONTO, ONTARIO (2 avril 2015) – Mendel Ekstein, Président et Chef de la Direction de Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V: PCQ), vient juste de formuler la déclaration suivante:

« Je suis fier de fournir aux actionnaires de Petrolympic un bref résumé des opportunités passionnantes et des événements qui se sont présentés d’eux-mêmes au cours des derniers mois.

Tout d'abord, je suis heureux de rapporter que le nouveau « Budget Leitao » 2015-16 pour le Québec (le « Budget ») identifie les hydrocarbures produits localement comme un élément critique du développement économique du Québec. En particulier, le Budget met en avant que le développement du potentiel gazier de la péninsule gaspésienne sera un moteur de création d’emploi et de richesse pour la région, et bénéficiera également à la Côte-Nord et aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Dans un effort pour rendre le gaz facilement disponible dans ces régions, le Budget inclut des dispositions pour des incitatifs et des subventions pour prolonger le réseau de gazoducs et pour développer des installations de gaz naturel liquéfié.

La mission de Petrolympic a toujours été de fournir au Québec une source d'énergie propre et produite localement. Avec la stratégie de développement et les dispositions environnementales contenues dans le nouveau Budget, nous estimons que l'approche du gouvernement du Québec atteint le bon équilibre entre la protection de l'environnement, la création d'emplois et le développement économique. Je crois que ce Budget apporte une perspective nouvelle et une stabilité à long terme à notre industrie locale, et nous permet d’entrer dans notre prochaine phase de développement avec les vents politiques dans notre dos.

Avec un financement suffisant en place, nous sommes maintenant bien positionnés pour accroître rapidement nos activités de tests, d'exploration et de forage au sein de notre vaste territoire dans le bassin appalachien du Québec. Les efforts d'exploration précédents ont conduit à la découverte d'un réservoir conventionnel de gaz naturel sur notre propriété détenue en entente d’opération conjointe dans la structure Massé, dont le gaz est riche en liquides et exempt de sulfure d'hydrogène. Des tests réalisés en fond de trou dans le puits Massé No 2 sont planifiés ce printemps pour confirmer la capacité de production du puits.

Plusieurs autres cibles de forage hautement prometteuses ont été identifiées et seront validées selon notre Programme en Partenariat tel qu’annoncé dans notre communiqué de presse du 17 février 2015. Il est extrêmement gratifiant de voir les nouvelles découvertes et les débits initiaux de pétrole générés par d’autres foreurs dans notre région (par exemple Junex et Pétrolia), nous donnant à tous un fort sentiment d’impatience et de confiance à mesure que nous complétons les étapes qui nous rapprochent de nos buts à long terme.

Nous sommes sincèrement reconnaissants pour l’appui de nos actionnaires et nous nous engageons à continuer à travailler diligemment en votre nom. »

Petrolympic's CEO Comments on the Quebec Budget and the Way Forward

TORONTO, ONTARIO (April 2, 2015) – Mendel Ekstein, Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V: PCQ) President and CEO, has just released the following statement:

“I am proud to provide Petrolympic shareholders with a brief summary of the exciting events and opportunities that have presented themselves over the last few months.

First off, I am happy to report that the new 2015-16 “Leitao Budget” for Quebec (the “Budget”) recognizes that locally produced hydrocarbons are a critical component of Quebec’s economic development. In particular, the Budget puts forth that the development of the gas potential in the Gaspe Peninsula will be a jobs and wealth creating engine for the region, and will also benefit the Cote-Nord and the Magdalen Islands. In an effort to make the gas readily available to these regions, the Budget includes provisions for incentives and subsidies to extend the pipeline infrastructure and to develop liquefied natural gas facilities.

Petrolympic’s mission has always been to deliver a clean, locally produced source of energy for Quebec. With the developmental strategy and environmental provisions contained in the new Budget, we feel that the Quebec government’s approach is striking the right balance between environmental protection, job creation and economic development. I believe the Budget brings new perspective and long term stability to our local industry, and allows us to enter our next phase of development with the political winds strongly at our back.

With ample funding now in place, we are poised to rapidly expand our testing, exploration, and drilling activities within our vast acreage in the Appalachian Basin of Quebec. Previous exploration efforts have led to the discovery of a conventional natural gas reservoir on our joint venture property in the Masse structure, yielding gas that is rich in liquids and devoid of hydrogen sulfide. Down hole testing in the Masse No 2 Well is planned for this spring to confirm its production capacity.

Several other highly promising drilling targets have been identified and will be validated according to our Partner Program as outlined in our February 17, 2015 press release. It is extremely gratifying to see the new discoveries and significant initial oil flows that other drillers are generating in our region (e.g., Junex and Petrolia), giving us all a great sense of anticipation and confidence as we take the next steps toward our long term goals.

We are truly thankful for our shareholders’ support and pledge to continue working diligently on your behalf.”

Le Potentiel Pétrolier et Gazier du Bas-Saint-Laurent révélé

TORONTO, ONTARIO (17 février 2015) – Petrolympic Ltd. (« Petrolympic » ou la « Compagnie ») (TSX.V: PCQ) est très heureux de présenter les récentes avancées réalisées dans sa propriété détenue en entente d'opération conjointe dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent (la « Propriété ») en partenariat avec Ressources et Énergie Squatex Inc. (« Squatex »), qui est l’opérateur de la Propriété. La Propriété est localisée dans les Appalaches du Québec.

Les résultats positifs substantiels des récents travaux entrepris dans les puits les plus profonds de la Propriété, Massé No 1 et Massé No 2, tels que résumés ci-dessous, corroborent nos modèles d’exploration et améliorent notre compréhension des principaux plays présents au sein de cette vaste Propriété, confirmant ainsi que nous pensons avoir décrypté les systèmes pétroliers du Bas-Saint-Laurent. Ces deux puits forés font suite à l’interprétation de lignes sismiques exclusives identifiant plusieurs structures prospectives sur la Propriété et à une série de carottages peu profonds destinés à affiner les interprétations géologiques de Petrolympic et Squatex (les « Partenaires »).

La présence de pétrole et de gaz naturel a été prouvée comme annoncé dans les communiqués de presse de Petrolympic datés du 15 novembre 2013 et du 7 novembre 2014 (disponibles sur www.sedar.com) et un réservoir a été découvert et évalué de manière indépendante tel qu’annoncé dans le communiqué de presse de Petrolympic daté du 11 avril 2014 (disponible sur www.sedar.com). La Direction estime que ces résultats confirment la stratégie d’exploration des Partenaires et ont permis d’identifier plusieurs plays, notamment des intervalles réservoirs de dolomies hydrothermales (HTD), des réseaux de fractures naturelles et des récifs siluriens de type pinacle. Des plays comparables ont récemment été testés avec succès dans l’est de la Gaspésie comme le montre les résultats de Junex à Galt (Junex - 2 février 2015 qui est disponible sur www.sedar.com) de même que les travaux en cours d’autres compagnies dans la région. Toutefois ces plays n’avaient jamais encore été considérés ni testés dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent en raison d’un manque de données, jusqu’à ce que les Partenaires entreprennent leur programme d’exploration détaillé. Ces efforts d'exploration commencent maintenant à porter leurs fruits sur la Propriété et il est maintenant possible de penser production dan un futur rapproché.

Les résultats les plus récents sur le puits de Massé No 2 présentent la découverte de pétrole lourd ayant une densité de 19,85° API et moins de 1% (0,953%) de soufre. Le pétrole a été rencontré pour la première fois lorsque le puits a atteint la profondeur de 1 040 m et les venues de pétrole ont continué jusqu’à ce que la profondeur totale soit atteinte. D’importantes venues de gaz naturel ont également été enregistrées sur plusieurs intervalles. Le gaz consiste principalement de méthane dépourvu de sulfure d’hydrogène (H2S) et est associé à des quantités significatives de condensats, de l’ordre de 100 mL par mètre cube.  Les diagraphies ont également confirmé la relation entre les hydrocarbures et les réseaux de fractures naturelles, comme cela a aussi été démontré avec succès dans le puits de Massé No 1 récemment.

Le puits de Massé No 2 a atteint une profondeur totale de 1 970 m, puis une suite diagraphique complète a été enregistrée avant que la foreuse ne soit démobilisée le 28 novembre 2014.  Le forage a été mis en attente pour effectuer des tests de pression. Un équipement de mesures automatisées a été installé pour enregistrer la pression en surface. Le puits maintient une pression stable et fera l’objet d’un suivi jusqu’à ce que l’équipement nécessaire soit acheminé sur le site pour procéder à des tests de pression en profondeur ce printemps, de manière à déterminer la capacité de production des intervalles naturellement fracturés chargés en hydrocarbures.

Dans le même temps, les Partenaires se préparent activement à aller de l’avant avec la poursuite d’un programme de sondages stratigraphiques carottés profonds pour valider à moindres coûts plusieurs autres structures qui présentent un potentiel en hydrocarbures prometteur à travers l’ensemble de la Propriété. Le prochain site de forage sélectionné, Marleau No 1, est localisé quelques kilomètres au sud de Massé No 2 et permettra de tester un flat spot, c’est-à-dire une anomalie sismique caractéristique de la présence de fluides en profondeur. Ce nouveau puits, s’il est concluant, pourrait représenter une expansion significative des zones réservoir et accroîtrait sensiblement le potentiel de la Propriété en nous permettant de tester des cibles d’exploration similaires dans d'autres compartiments faillés, accroissant ainsi le territoire prospectif ayant les plays déjà validés sur Massé au nord.

Les plays considérés dans la Propriété sont tous de nature conventionnelle et, comme tels, ne nécessitent pas le recours à la fracturation hydraulique massive. Dans la région d’intérêt pour les Partenaires la formation silteuse de Saint-Léon représente une couverture étanche homogène et non poreuse d’environ 800 m d’épaisseur au-dessus des réservoirs trouvés. En outre de tels réservoirs conventionnels peuvent produire des hydrocarbures à un coût relativement faible et dans un court laps de temps. Avec un marché régional en croissance et une forte demande pour du pétrole et du gaz naturel produits localement, la compagnie s’attend à forer un puits de production dans un futur proche.

Mendel Ekstein, Président et Chef de la Direction de Petrolympic, commente ainsi la nouvelle : « Tout ceci arrive au moment où le gouvernement québécois prépare activement la refonte de sa politique énergétique et vise à réduire à long-terme sa dépendance envers les sources d’énergie étrangères. Tandis que jusqu’à présent l’essentiel de l’attention au Québec a été dirigée vers l’est de la péninsule gaspésienne, nous sommes en train de révéler des plays conventionnels similaires dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent. 2015 s’annonce une année très active et pleine de succès pour la Province et je pense que Petrolympic va contribuer de manière significative à ce succès. »

La Compagnie détient un intérêt net dans 129 401 hectares (319 751 acres) de la Propriété par le biais d’une entente d’opération conjointe avec Squatex. La Compagnie détient également un intérêt de 100% dans 40 885 hectares (101 029 acres) dans deux permis d’exploration situés dans la même région, les propriétés Matapédia et Mitis. Plusieurs plays conventionnels et guides d’exploration ont été identifiés dans ces permis où du pétrole et du gaz naturel ont déjà été rencontrés dans des forages miniers dans les années 1990. D’après les données sismiques détenues par la Compagnie, des structures similaires semblent également présentes en profondeur dans ces deux permis.

Unlocking the Oil and Gas Potential of the Lower St. Lawrence

TORONTO, ONTARIO (February 17, 2015) – Petrolympic Ltd. (“Petrolympic” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: PCQ) is very pleased to present a summary of the recent breakthroughs achieved on its joint venture property in the Lower St. Lawrence area (the “Property”) in conjunction with its joint venture partner, Squatex Energy and Resources Inc. (“Squatex”), the operator on the Property. The Property is located in the Appalachian Basin of Quebec.

The substantially positive results of the recent work program undertaken on the deepest wells on the Property, Massé No 1 and Massé No 2, as summarized below, corroborate our exploration models and complete our understanding of the main plays present in this vast Property, thus confirming we have successfully cracked the code of the petroleum systems in the Lower St. Lawrence. These two wells have been drilled following the interpretation of proprietary seismic lines and the identification of several prospective structures across the Property, combined with a series of shallow coreholes drilled to further refine the geological interpretations of Petrolympic and Squatex (the “JV Partners”).

The presence of oil and natural gas has been proven as announced in Petrolympic’s press releases dated November 15, 2013 and November 7, 2014 (filed on www.sedar.com) and a reservoir has been discovered and independently evaluated as announced in Petrolympic’s press release dated April 11, 2014 (filed on www.sedar.com). Management believes that these results confirm the JV Partners’ exploration strategy and have led to the identification of several plays including hydrothermally dolomitized intervals (HTD), natural fracture networks and Silurian pinnacle reefs. Comparable plays have recently been tested with success in eastern Gaspe, as demonstrated by the results of Junex in Galt (announced in Junex’ press release dated February 2, 2015 and filed on www.sedar.com) as well as the ongoing efforts of other companies in the region. Yet these plays had never been considered or tested in the Lower St. Lawrence due to a lack of data until the JV Partners undertook their in-depth exploration program. These efforts are now beginning to bear fruits as the Property is being opened to exploration and possible future production.

The most recent results from the Massé No 2 Well include the discovery of heavy oil with a density of 19.85° API and containing less than 1% (0.953%) sulfur. The oil was first noticed when the well reached the depth of 3,412 feet (1,040 m) and it continued flowing until total depth was reached. Important influxes of natural gas were also recorded over several intervals. The gas consisted mostly of methane with no hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and is associated with significant amounts of condensates in the order of 100mL per cubic meter. Well logs also confirmed the relationship between the hydrocarbons and the natural fracture networks, as it has been established with success in the Massé No 1 Well.

The Massé No 2 Well has reached the total depth of 6,463 feet (1,970 m) and a complete set of logs has been recorded before the rig was demobilized on November 28, 2014, preparing for further downhole testing. Recording equipment to monitor the pressure has been put in place. The well is maintaining its pressure and monitoring will continue until equipment can be brought on location and downhole testing can be performed this spring to investigate the production capability of the hydrocarbon-bearing, naturally fractured intervals.

Meanwhile the JV Partners are actively preparing to move forward with the pursuit of a deep stratigraphic coring program to validate several other prospective structures with promising hydrocarbon potential across the Property. The next selected drilling site, Marleau No 1, is located a few kilometers to the south of the Massé No 2 Well and will test a flat spot, i.e. a seismic feature characteristic of the presence of fluids in the subsurface. This new well will mark a significant step out and, if successful, will expand the potential of the Property and enable us to test similar targets in another fault compartment block, thus extending the span of the plays already validated farther north.

The plays considered on the Property are all conventional and as such, no massive hydraulic fracturing is required. In the area investigated by the partnership the Saint-Leon siltstones provide a 2,600 feet-thick (about 800 m) homogeneous, non-porous seal. Furthermore, such conventional reservoirs can produce hydrocarbons at a relatively low cost and in a short amount of time. With a growing local market and a high demand for oil and locally-produced natural gas in the area, the Company expects to drill a production well in a near future.

Mendel Ekstein, President and CEO of Petrolympic provides the following comment:  “All this is happening at a time the Quebec government is actively reshaping its energy policy, aiming at reducing its dependence on foreign energy sources. While, to date, most of the attention in Quebec has been focused on the eastern Gaspe Peninsula, we are unlocking similar conventional plays in the Lower St. Lawrence. The table is set for 2015 to be a very active and successful year for the Province and I believe Petrolympic will contribute significantly to this success.

The Company holds a net interest in 319,751 acres (129,401 hectares) of the Property through a joint venture with Squatex. The Company also owns a 100% interest in 101,029 acres (40,885 hectares) in two exploration permits in the same area, referred to as the Matapedia and the Mitis properties. Several conventional plays and exploration leads have been identified in these permits where oil and gas have been encountered in mining wells in the 90's. Based on proprietary seismic data, similar structures are also believed to be present at depth in these two permits.
