Operations update

The Company, through its partner Ponderosa Energy Inc., continued to cost-effectively re-work wells, bringing them back into production. These efforts resulted in a significant increase in production numbers as well as a significant reduction in lease operating expenses ("LOE"). The Company plans to continue to re-work between 5-10 wells per month with a focus on its productive "State" leases. This is expected to continue to add low-cost oil and gas production, while at the same time providing positive cash flow.

Joel Dumaresq, CEO of Molori commented, "In the past several months, the team at Molori has not only developed an entirely new business model, but also established a solid reserve base, increased production month-over-month, and demonstrated an ability to deliver positive operational cash flow. What we are even more proud of, is the fact that with the assistance of our partners at Ponderosa, we've accomplished this increase in production and revenues while maintaining a debt-free Balance Sheet and at the same time lowering our operating expenses."

The Company also wishes to announce (See news release dated April 11, 2017) that it has now identified several drilling opportunities in its recently announced "Red Cave" play, and has developed a plan to expand its exposure to this prospective zone.

Molori has scheduled a conference call for Wednesday, May 24 at 11:00am EDT (8:00am PDT) to discuss progress relating to its core well-rehabilitation business, as well as the exciting opportunity it's pursuing in the Red Cave. The Company invites all interested parties to participate via the following conference call bridge:

* Per BOE amounts have been calculated by using the conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet (6 MCF) of natural gas to one barrel (1 bbl) of crude oil. The BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf to 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. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of natural gas as compared to oil is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 1:6, utilizing a conversion on a 1:6 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. The ratio of gas to oil was 40% gas and 60% oil for the three month period ending April 30, 2017 and 50% gas and 50% oil for the three months ending January 31, 2017.
