Forward-Looking Information

This website contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking information includes statements regarding future production rates, drilling plans, capital expenditures, reserve estimates, operating costs, and corporate strategy. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including commodity price volatility, exchange rate fluctuations, regulatory changes, geological risk, and the ability to obtain financing. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. WesCan Energy Corp. assumes no obligation to update forward-looking information except as required by applicable securities legislation. BOE conversions are based on 6 Mcf = 1 BOE, which may not reflect actual energy equivalency. Reserve estimates are based on McDaniel & Associates March 2025 evaluation of the Provost area.

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.

Oil & Gas Advisory: Reserve estimates and related information on this website are derived from an independent reserves evaluation prepared by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. with an effective date of March 2025, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities and the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation (COGE) Handbook. 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. The reserves evaluation predates the Company’s subsequent operational activity and does not reflect results after its effective date.
