HUNTOON
Township 6-7, Range 10-11 W2At Huntoon, Aldon holds mainly a 100% working interest in a total of approximately three sections of land. The Huntoon property is located just north of the Midale oil pool and includes 26 active wells producing oil at a low decline rate from the Midale, Frobisher and Bakken formations. Aldon has one Frobisher disposal well at 191/12-05-007-10W2/0.
The Huntoon property has stacked upside in several formations, with up to twenty additional Midale locations, five Frobisher locations and seven Bakken locations. Nearby wells have also produced from the Birdbear, Duperow and Red River formations.
Average daily production net to Aldon from Huntoon for the month of January 2022 was approximately 97 barrels of oil per day.
Operating income net to Aldon from Huntoon in January 2022 was approximately $86,000, or $1.0 million on an annualized basis.

Huntoon Geology
Midale Formation
The Huntoon area lies immediately updip from the Midale oil pool and subjacent to the Midale subcrop. Midale wells on the Huntoon property are characterized by low-inflow, low-water cut, long-term production. It is believed that up to 20 development drilling locations exist at Huntoon as shown in blue on the following map.
The low permeability of the rock means that primary production alone has been unable to efficiently drain the reservoir, and therefore other methods are necessary to access the reserves. Implementing a waterflood may be the most cost-efficient means of increasing production, and if successful the results may warrant the drilling of additional horizontal wells where pioneer vertical wells were uneconomic.
Alternatively, various companies have been stimulating the Midale with fracture treatments in areas of southeast Saskatchewan where those beds are characterized by good reserves but low permeability. The Pinto, Alameda and Steelman areas in southeastern Saskatchewan are examples where a similar reservoir to Huntoon exists, and fracture treatments there have successfully unlocked additional value over primary production.
The following well log shows the Midale Marly and Midale Vuggy reservoir at Huntoon.

Additional Upside
The Company has identified additional development locations in the Frobisher and Bakken formations where previous drilling has not fully delineated the boundaries of those plays. Two development locations exist in the Frobisher on the north half of Section 05-007-10W2, one development location exists on LSDs 15 and 16 of Section 31-006-10W2 and two locations exist on the northeast quarter of Section 34-006-11W2 and the northwest quarter of Section 35-006-11W2.
Crescent Point Energy Corp. penetrated the Frobisher on the northeast quarter of Section 07-007-10W2 with the 102/15-18-007-10W2 wellbore which resulted in a gas spike of 11% from the Stoughton beds and may indicate an additional location there as shown on the following map.
The map below shows the existing Frobisher-target wells in green, with structure contours of the top of the Frobisher Evaporite indicated in light grey with 5 metre contour intervals. The five prospective Frobisher locations are shown in blue.
Hydrocarbon shows and production from older vertical wellbores and a structural nose that trends from the northeast to southwest have generated further interest in the Frobisher to the west in the south half of Section 16-007-11W2.
The abundant, concentrated nature of the hydrocarbon shows in the State ‘A’, Halbrite and Huntoon beds, combined with favourable structure, suggests the possibility of an extension of the pool. Developing this area with horizontal wells could be key in order to maximize oil production.
The preceding map shows the distribution of production around Section 16-007-11W2. Frobisher hydrocarbon shows are highlighted with red stars. The structure contours of the top of the Frobisher Evaporite are indicated in grey with contour intervals at 5 metres.
The following well log shows the DST over the Halbrite target recovered 181 metres of gassy oil and 38 metres of mud-cut, gassy oil. Significant hydrocarbon shows occur in the Halbrite, Huntoon and State ‘A’ beds in the wells surrounding the Huntoon property.
Aldon Midale 101/03-16-007-11W2/00 – Frobisher Type Log
As one of southeast Saskatchewan’s primary plays, there are very good producers from the Bakken Formation offsetting the Company’s lands at Huntoon. Many of the offsetting wells are existing Bakken producing wells.Aldon has identified up to seven Bakken development locations on the property. The following map shows the Company’s seven prospective Bakken locations in blue.
The Company has identified three locations for re-entry potential of existing wellbores. The wells were initially drilled with an open hole completion and can be further developed using multi-stage fracture stimulation.
The upside locations are surrounded by successfully fracture stimulated Bakken wells by Crescent Point Energy Corp. and Ridgeback Resources Inc. Similar post fracture results could be expected.
The following map shows the Aldon Bakken frac candidates in green, Crescent Point wells in red and Ridgeback wells in blue.

MIDALE NORTH
Township 5-6, Range 10-11 W2At Midale North, Aldon holds a 100% working interest in a total of one section of land. The Midale North property is located just outside of the Midale Unit which is operated by Cardinal Energy Ltd. The primary reservoir is the Midale Marly beds, with good porosity and lower permeability. Reservoir pressure is maintained by Cardinal’s CO2 flood within the Unit, resulting in low declines for the local area.
Average daily production net to Aldon from Midale North for the month of January 2022 was approximately 23 barrels of oil per day.
Operating income net to Aldon from Midale North in January 2022 was approximately $34,000, or $408,000 on an annualized basis.

NOTE REGARDING A SAYER PROCESS
On each and every offering brochure generated by Sayer, you will note the sentence “Sayer Energy Advisors does not conduct a “second-round” bidding process; the intention is to attempt to conclude a sale of the Property with the party submitting the most acceptable proposal at the conclusion of the process.” What this means is that Sayer will not go back to multiple parties at the same time after bids are received, asking them all for a second bid. We determine which party submitted the most acceptable proposal and then we attempt to negotiate acceptable terms with that party in a “one-off” situation.
If the process involves a cash sale of a property or company and the party which submitted the most acceptable proposal has met our client’s threshold value, that offer will be accepted. If this proposal does not meet our client’s threshold value, then we will advise that party that the offer is not quite what our client was expecting, and we will ask them to increase the offer. If that offer is not acceptable to our client, we will then move down to the party which submitted the next most acceptable proposal and we will then work with that party to attempt to meet our client’s threshold value.
In the extremely rare circumstance where two or more parties submit virtually identical proposals, we will contact all parties, we will advise them of this situation and we will ask them to submit a revised proposal. Once these are received, we will work with the party which has submitted the most acceptable proposal.
