New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Canadian stocks, typically moving 13% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$16m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 74% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (13% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 74% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$16m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 74% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (19% increase in shares outstanding).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 19% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$17m free cash flow). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (19% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$5m (CA$5.6m revenue, or US$4.1m).

Westgate Energy Inc. Provides Operational Update Westgate Energy Inc. provided an operational update following the initial startup of its three recently drilled Mannville Stack oil wells in the Beaverdam area of Alberta. The Company successfully brought its latest three horizontal wells at the Beaverdam asset on production in mid to late December 2025. Current combined production from the three new wells is approximately 330 bbl/d over a 7-day period. The wells were initially brought on stream at conservative pump rates to allow for a gradual clean up phase. This operating approach is intended to reduce downhole equipment wear associated with sand production. As the clean up phase progresses, the Company expects production rates to continue to improve as pumping rates are gradually increased from their current rates. Ongoing well optimization, together with the completion of the new holding tank facility, described below, is anticipated to further increase production over the coming weeks. In addition to the producing horizontal wells, the Company also drilled two vertical stratigraphic test wells in the fall program. These two vertical wells were designed to provide information about various prospective Mannville Stack horizons within the Company's existing land holdings at Beaverdam. This facility is designed to improve operating efficiency by increasing oil recoveries from produced sand and emulsion volumes while also reducing third party handling and disposal costs. Upon completion, the new facility is expected to provide incremental production of greater than 30 bbl/d from the existing six wells, increasing operating netbacks by greater than $5/bbl. The capacity of the new facility is designed to service up to 25 wells which are expected to also benefit from the higher netbacks in the future. Operating netbacks is a non-GAAP ratio. refer to the Advisories and Other Guidance section within this press release for additional information. The overall results delivered by second three-well program at Beaverdam. The company expects the modified initial pumping rates to be beneficial for run times of the new wells. This operational refinement is expected to help guide future drilling and completion strategies at Beaverdam in 2026 and beyond. Westgate looks forward to building on its operational performance while continuing to pursue cost efficiencies as advance into 2026. The Company is currently in the well planning phase for its next drilling program and intends to drill an additional nine horizontal wells at Beaverdam during the remainder of 2026, based on an anticipated WTI oil price of USD 60 to USD 65/bbl. This program is expected to increase the total producing well count at Beaverdam to 15 by year-end 2026. Subject to weather conditions and spring break timing, the next drilling program is expected to commence in late May or early June 2026. Reported Earnings • Nov 30

Westgate Energy Inc. Provides an Operational Update Following the Completion of Its Latest Drilling Program in the Beaverdam Area of Alberta Westgate Energy Inc. provided an operational update following the completion of its latest drilling program in the Beaverdam area of Alberta. The Company has successfully completed its previously announced fall drilling program at its Beaverdam asset. The program included two vertical stratigraphic test wells and three horizontal wells targeting two Mannville Stack horizons. Due to a simplified well design, the Company was able to drill the three horizontal wells in an average of 6.7 days per well, leading to an average cost of $1.06MM per well. This represents an average reduction of 4 days per well and a 25% cost decrease on the drilling portion compared to the Company's previous three well program. All three horizontal wells encountered their respective target zones, and oil shows were observed in all three wells. Current operations include downhole completion and facility construction, with an expected on-stream date of mid-December for all three wells. Aankondiging • Oct 02

Westgate Energy Inc. Announces Completion of Summer Drilling Program Westgate Energy Inc. confirmed the successful drilling of two wells as part of the initial portion of its second half 2024 (2H/24) drilling campaign. This summer program consisted of two horizontal multi-lateral oil wells drilled at the Company's core Killam property in Eastern Alberta. The Program's first well (16-15) was successfully drilled using a four-leg, open-hole horizontal design targeting the Mannville Sparky Formation. The well was drilled in eight days from spud to rig release, resulting in the drilling costs coming in under budget, with a total of 5,056 metres of lateral length drilled within the Sparky Formation. The 16-15 was subsequently brought on production July 28, 2024 via an on-lease tie-in. The total field estimate cost to drill, complete, equip and tie-in this well is estimated to be $1.43 million. The coming weeks of production represent the clean up period for the 16-15 as drilling fluids are recovered and the pumping parameters optimized. Management expects the true productive capabilities of this well will be evident approximately 45 days from the on-stream date. The Program's second well (11-21) has been successfully drilled as a six-leg, open-hole horizontal well, also targeting the Mannville Sparky Formation, and was drilled from a new pad within Westgate's Killam Field. The 11-21 was also drilled in eight days from spud to rig release, resulting in this well also coming in under budget, with a total of 5,140 metres of lateral length drilled in the Sparky Formation. This well is awaiting completion, equipping and a short pipeline tie-in for solution gas and is anticipated to have an on-stream date of approximately August 15, 2024. The total field estimate cost to drill the 11-21 is estimated to be $1.17 million, with upcoming costs related to completion, equipping and tie-in of the new pad estimated at an incremental $0.46 million. The productive capabilities of this well are expected to be observed approximately 45 days from the on-stream date. Based on a successful result from the 11-21 well, the new pad has been designed to accommodate additional follow-up wells. Westgate anticipates releasing a report on the production rates of these two new wells in late September. Success from the Program will contribute to the Company's previously communicated average 2H/24 production range of 350 to 400 boe/d. A third well at the Company's Killam Field is planned for the fourth quarter of this year, which is also expected to contribute to the previously announced 2024 exit rate of 450-500 boe/d.

Westgate Energy Inc. Announces the Commencement of the Initial Portion of Its Second Half 2024 Drilling Campaign Westgate Energy Inc. announced the commencement of the initial portion of its second half 2024 drilling campaign. This summer program (the Program) will consist of two horizontal multi-lateral oil wells at the Company's core Killam property in Eastern Alberta. This marks the first stage of the Company's second half 2024 drilling plans, which are aimed at significantly boosting the Company's production and reserves. The Program's first well will feature a four-leg, open-hole horizontal design targeting the Mannville Sparky Formation. This well will directly offset the Company's last well drilled in December of 2023 and will be drilled off the same pad and feature an on-lease tie-in for solution gas. The Program's second well is planned as a six-leg, open-hole horizontal well also targeting the Mannville Sparky Formation, and will be drilled off of a new pad within Westgate's Killam Field. The new pad is designed to accommodate two additional follow-on wells, predicated on successful results from the Program's second well. Success from the two-well Program will contribute to the Company's previously communicated average second half 2024 production range of 350 to 400 boe/d. The first well is anticipated to take 14 days to drill, after which the drilling rig will be moved to the second location for a subsequent 14-day drill. Completion, equipping, and tie-in of each well will follow shortly thereafter. The Company expects to provide initial production results in September 2024, after 'clean-up' or recovery of the drilling fluid from the two wells has been achieved.
