(TheNewswire) WesCan Energy Corp. Calgary, Alberta – September 24th, 2026 – TheNewswire – Wescan Energy Corp. (TSXV: WCE) ("Wescan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling of its Wescan 105 Provost 15-21-38-3 multilateral horizontal well in the Provost area of east-central Alberta has been completed successfully. The well was drilled from spud to total depth in 13 days, with seven horizontal legs totaling 6,159 meters drilled in the Rex Member of the Mannville Group from a single wellbore. The drilling rig was released on September 22, 2026. The well was drilled within the approved drilling budget and without any safety or environmental incidents. The horizontal legs were geosteered using Pathfinder, an advanced geosteering program developed by Bitcap, which fully integrates the Company's 3D seismic interpretation with real-time drilling data. This integration allowed the wellsite team to position each lateral within the target zone with a high degree of confidence and was a significant contributor to the efficiency of the drilling program. The well is Wescan's third multilateral in the Provost area. Completion and equipping operations are scheduled to begin immediately, with the well expected to be tied in and on production in October 2026. The Company will provide a further update once initial production results are available. "When we announced this financing, we told our shareholders we would put the capital to work quickly and efficiently, and that is exactly what has happened," said Leo Berezan, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "The well is drilled, the rig is released and the budget is intact. Our focus now is on completing the well and bringing it on production. I want to thank our shareholders and debenture holders for their support." "Seven legs and more than six kilometers of lateral in 13 days, on budget and without incident, is exactly the outcome we planned for," said Sarshar Ahmad, Chief Operating Officer of Wescan. "Having seismic and real-time drilling data integrated in one platform through Pathfinder gave us a clear picture of where every leg was sitting in the reservoir, and that made a real difference to how efficiently we drilled this well. The team kept it on schedule and within the AFE, and released the rig on time. Our attention now turns to completing the well and bringing it on production." About Wescan Energy Corp.

(TSXV: WCE) ("Wescan" or the "Company") announces that it spudded its Wescan 105 Provost 15-21-38-3 multilateral horizontal well on September 10th 2026, and drilling operations are underway.

Drilling is expected to take approximately 15 days, and the Company will provide a further update once the well has reached total depth. "Every part of this well, from the target selection and the directional plan to the rig, the crews and the schedule, was put in place well before the licence was issued, which is why we were able to spud within days of receiving it," said Sarshar Ahmad, Chief Operating Officer of Wescan. "The crew is drilling ahead on plan, and we intend to bring this well on production on time and on budget." About Wescan Energy Corp.

(TheNewswire) WesCan Energy Corp. Calgary, Alberta – TheNewswire - September 9th, 2026 – Wescan Energy Corp. (TSXV: WCE) ("Wescan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce two milestones: the Company has been granted a licence by the Alberta Energy Regulator for a multilateral horizontal well in the Provost area of east-central Alberta (the "Provost Well"), and, weather permitting, the drilling rig is expected on location this week with spud to follow immediately. To fully fund the well through to production, Wescan is also launching a non-brokered private placement of convertible debentures for gross proceeds of up to $1,300,000 (the "Offering"). Highlights Drilling now. Licence received; weather permitting, the rig is expected on location this week and the Provost Well will spud on arrival, with drilling expected to take approximately 15 days. Fully funded. The $1.7 million all-in cost to drill, complete, equip and tie in the well is covered by the Offering plus existing cash on hand. Multilateral design. Wescan's third multilateral in the area, with multiple horizontal legs from a single wellbore and surface location, maximizing reservoir contact while lowering per-barrel capital and operating costs. Shareholder-friendly financing. 10% annual interest paid quarterly over a two-year term, convertible at any time at $0.25 per share, a meaningful premium to the current share price. No finder's fees. The Provost Well The Provost Well will be Wescan's third multilateral well in the Provost area, building on the Company's experience with the design and applying the lessons learned from its first two wells. Drilling multiple horizontal legs from one wellbore allows Wescan to access substantially more reservoir than a conventional single-leg horizontal well at a fraction of the incremental cost, and to do so from a single surface location with a smaller footprint. Wescan expects the well to be on production in the fourth quarter of 2026, and will update shareholders as drilling and completion progress. Terms of the Offering The Company will issue unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,300,000 on the following terms: Interest: 10% per annum (2.5% per quarter), calculated and paid quarterly in cash ($32,500 per quarter on the full Offering). Interest accrues from closing, expected on or about September 30, 2026, with the first payment due December 30, 2026. Term: Two years, maturing on or about September 30, 2028 (the "Maturity Date"). Principal not converted by the Maturity Date will be repaid in cash with accrued interest. The Debentures are not redeemable by the Company before the Maturity Date [without the holder's consent]. Conversion: At the holder's option, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, into common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") at a conversion price of $0.25 per Common Share. Full conversion of a fully subscribed Offering would result in the issuance of up to 5,200,000 Common Shares. Use of proceeds: Drilling, completion, equipping and tie-in of the Provost Well, with any balance applied to working capital. Closing: On or about September 30, 2026, in one or more tranches. No finder's fees or commissions are payable. The Debentures and any Common Shares issued on conversion will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from issuance under applicable Canadian securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Closing is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including TSXV acceptance. Certain directors, officers and other insiders of the Company, and persons related to or associated with them, are expected to participate in the Offering. Such participation constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Debentures issued to, nor the consideration paid by, related parties will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Management Commentary "Getting the Provost Well licensed and funded in the same week is exactly the kind of momentum we want to build for our shareholders," said Leo Berezan, Chief Executive Officer of Wescan. "The convertible debenture is a clean, low-cost way to fully fund the well from spud to sales line. Holders earn a 10% coupon while the well is drilled and brought on, and they keep the option to convert at $0.25 at any time over the two-year term and participate directly in the upside. We are grateful for the confidence our supporters continue to show in Wescan." "This is our third multilateral in the Provost area, and each one has made us better at it," said Sarshar Ahmad, Chief Operating Officer of Wescan. "Our team has refined the drilling plan and completion design based on what we learned from the first two wells, and the services and rig are lined up to move in this week, weather permitting. Multilateral wells let us contact far more reservoir from a single surface location for a modest increase in cost, and that translates directly into lower per-barrel costs. We are ready to get the bit turning and look forward to reporting results as the well is drilled and tied in." About Wescan Energy Corp.

Specified Financial Measures: This website refers to certain financial measures — including operating netback, net operating income (NOI), and NOI yield — that are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Operating netback is calculated as revenue less royalties, operating expenses, and workover costs, and excludes general and administrative expenses and debt service; it is therefore not a measure of free cash flow. Management uses these measures to assess operating performance; they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to the Company’s disclosure filings on SEDAR+ for the composition of these measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Reserve estimates are based on forecast prices and costs assumptions and are estimates only; actual reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided, and the estimated values do not represent fair market value. Net present values (including NPV10) are calculated using a 10% discount rate and do not necessarily represent fair market value.
