CALGARY – Point Loma Resources Ltd. (TSXV:PLX) (“Point Loma” or the “Corporation“) is pleased to announce a transaction to rationalize its assets and monetize its working interest at Wizard Lake, Alberta.

Share consideration in connection with the Transaction will be $2.0 million issued on completion of the second closing with $1.0 million held in escrow for 4 months and another $1.0 million released upon final closing, on or about December 31, 2020, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals.

• The funds from the Transaction will be utilized to commence a multi-stage corporate turnaround plan.

• The additional production associated with the properties transferred to the Corporation is expected to supplement Point Loma’s revenues immediately upon completion of the first closing.

• The Transaction is expected to increase Point Loma’s net acreage to approximately 165,000 acres, where the Corporation has identified future locations and opportunities analogous to Point Loma’s Wizard lake discovery.

Proposed Transaction

Point Loma has invested approximately $3.0 million to date at Wizard Lake. Pursuant to the Transaction, Point Loma will receive $6.0 million in cash and White Bark stock, approximately 240 boepd of working interest production and see a working capital deficit reduction of approximately $0.8 million associated with the cancellation of a facility payout account.
