The Canadian assets produced Gross production revenue of $592,070
for the Quarter down 36% on pre-drill forecasts due mainly to lower
than forecast production from the Wapiti well and significantly weaker
natural gas prices
The US oil and gas well portfolio production numbers improved over
the fourth quarter due to the improved performance of the Jewell well
after it was negatively impacted by the drilling and completion of an
adjacent third party well. The portfolio produced approximately 49,900
BOE for the Quarter with the Jewell well accounting for 23,153 BOE.
a significant increase from the well’s Q3 production total of 9,535 BOE.

Corporate Activities
The Company received cash receipts from sales of $663k. Total cash
and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter was $6.5m up from
$6.3m the previous quarter.
During the quarter, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of
Intent (LOI) with a Canadian private company to explore participation
in a multi-well opportunity. However, delays in securing the optimal
acreage have pushed the timeline for finalising a commercial
agreement with our partner to the first quarter of 2025.
On 29 November 2024, the Company held its AGM and at the AGM,
Shareholders approved the change of Auditors to Moore Australia.

We are excited about the opportunities being worked in Western Canada. Albeit low gas prices
have remained through the winter our focus on oil and liquids rich projects provide a strong
return on investment at current prices.
During the quarter the Calgary based technical team worked on a number of new drill well
opportunities. The current potential investments include a multi-well oil play southeast of the
current assets with an LOI signed with counterpart in Q4 2024.
Other opportunities currently being worked include conventional oil and enhanced oil recovery
projects in Central Alberta and SE Saskatchewan. The team is currently negotiating an
agreement with an operator to initiate an acquisition of an enhanced oil development project in
central Alberta.
As these opportunities transition to board approved partnerships the company will continue to
communicate updates and progress.
United States Assets
The current oil and gas well portfolio consisting of 11 operating wells in North America
continues to perform in line with forecasts delivering seasoned production, however sustained
soft natural gas prices in North America have continued to impact total net operating revenues.
3
The Company’s Jewell well in Oklahoma, USA is delivering seasoned production of
approximately 7,700 BOE per month for Stonehorse, up from last quarter due to production
recovery from a frac hit sustained due to the drilling and completion of an adjacent third party
well.
Production from the Burgess well has been curtailed due to it being shut in pending a workover
caused by paraffin build-up in the well. The Burgess has historically produced an average of
825 BOE for Stonehorse per quarter.
Stonehorse’s US portfolio of working interests in oil and gas wells generated approximately
49,900 BOE for the December Quarter. The US portfolio continues to produce in line with
expectations for what is seasoned production.
Australian Assets
Stonehorse has a 25% Working Interest in the Myall Creek property located in the Surat Basin,
SE Queensland.
The plan from the Operator ADZ Energy to combine the MC-2 frac with their New- well fracs is
on trac with fracture stimulation now planned in Q2-CY25.
Gas prices on the east coast of Australia continue to support these remediation and
enhancement initiatives.
