Crown Point Announces Acquisition of 50% Working Interest in <\/strong>Puesto Pozo Cercado Oriental Exploitation Concession<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

TSX-V:\u00a0 CWV: <\/strong>Crown Point Energy Inc. (\u201cCrown Point<\/strong>\u201d or the \u201cCompany<\/strong>\u201d)<\/strong> is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary has entered into an agreement with Petrolera Aconcagua Energ\u00eda S.A. (“Aconcagua<\/strong>“) to acquire a 50% working interest in the Puesto Pozo Cercado Oriental hydrocarbon exploitation concession (the “Concession<\/strong>“) from Aconcagua (the “Acquisition<\/strong>“).\u00a0 Aconcagua will retain the remaining 50% working interest in the Concession and will continue to operate the Concession jointly with the Cha\u00f1ares Herrados concession (in which Crown Point and Aconcagua are also 50\/50 working interest partners).<\/p>\n

The Concession, which expires in August 2043, is located in the Cuyana basin in the Province of Mendoza adjacent to the Cha\u00f1ares Herrados concession and covers approximately 63 square kilometers.\u00a0 There is 2D seismic on 100% of the Concession area and 3D seismic on 80% of the Concession area.<\/p>\n

During June 2022, the Concession produced an average of approximately 36.4 m3<\/sup> per day (229 barrels per day) of crude oil from 14 producing wells.\u00a0 The Concession has total remaining work commitments of US$26.8 million (US$13.4 million net to Crown Point).<\/p>\n

Crown Point will pay US$5 million for its 50% working interest in the Concession at closing, which it will fund from the proceeds of its recently completed note offering.\u00a0 Crown Point will also pay up to an additional US$7.53 million in quarterly installments based on a percentage of the EBITDA derived from Crown Point’s interest in the Concession (the “Contingent Consideration<\/strong>“), provided that the Contingent Consideration will not be payable until Crown Point has recovered its initial US$5 million investment from its share of the EBITDA derived from the Concession.<\/p>\n

The Acquisition is expected to close on or about August 16, 2022.<\/p>\n
