At Luseland, a five-well reactivation program is planned with equipment ordered and preparations started to build five single well batteries (“SWB”).

The polymer flood pilot site has been finalized following reservoir analysis, injection capability & compatibility assessments, and source water confirmation. Lab and core analysis is now in progress with leading polymer partners as Prospera advances toward execution.

Q1 2025 Financials
In the first quarter of 2025, Prospera deployed $2.3 million of reactivation focused capital towards twenty-seven wells within its core, 100% owned Hearts Hill and Luseland properties. This program resulted in an additional production capability of 249 boe/d at an average capital efficiency of $9,317/boe. The full benefit of the Q1 capital program is expected to be realized in Q2 with all of the wells being online. Additionally, Prospera successfully advanced several strategic initiatives during the quarter, including:

1)	Secured Additional Term Debt Funding Obtained $3.3 million in additional advances pursuant to the term debt financing agreement executed in July 2024. This strategic funding enhances liquidity and supports the Corporation’s ongoing development and optimization programs.
2)	Acquisition of White Tundra Petroleum On March 6, 2025, the Corporation entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of White Tundra Petroleum (“WTP”), whose assets are located near Loyalist and Hanna, Alberta. This related party transaction—due to the Corporation’s Executive Chairman also serving as WTP’s CEO and a shareholder—includes consideration of 18,000,000 Prospera common shares, contingent upon WTP achieving 85 boe/d for three consecutive days, and the assumption of $645,000 in debt. An additional 7,312,500 performance-based shares may be issued if production reaches 128 boe/d for seven consecutive days within six months of closing. The transaction, subject to TSXV approval, is expected to close on June 1, 2025.
3)	Convertible Debt Settlement On March 6, 2025, the Corporation reached a settlement agreement with the holders of $1,500,000 in convertible debt maturing on March 26, 2025. The agreement includes:
	Refinancing the principal into a 12-month, $1,500,000 promissory note bearing 12% interest, with $250,000 monthly repayments beginning six months post-issuance. Interest will be paid as a balloon payment at the end of the term. $200,000 of the total $559,375 accrued interest payable on the convertible debentures will be settled through the issuance of a 12-month convertible note bearing 12% interest, convertible into common shares of the Corporation at $0.05 per share. The Corporation retains the right to settle the convertible note in cash by providing thirty days notice, during which time the holder retains the right to convert. the remaining $359,375 of accrued interest payable will be settled through the issuance of 8,984,371 common shares of the Corporation at a deemed price of $0.04 per share, subject to TSXV acceptance.
4)	Corporate Workforce Optimization Prospera completed a workforce optimization initiative that streamlined corporate decision-making and improved operational efficiency. This resulted in reductions in staffing, office, software, parking, and other G&A-related costs.

Operational highlights for Q1 2025 are as follows:

• PEI realized average net sales of 660 boe/d in Q1 2025, an increase of 3% from Q1 2024 net sales of 640 boe/d; an increase of 6% from Q4 2024 net sales of 625 boe/d .

• Operating costs per boe increased 54% in Q1 2025 at $59.46 per boe compared $38.69 per boe in Q1 2024. Costs were higher due to multiple unplanned electricity outages, one-time infrastructure and road upgrades, bringing field equipment to baseline operating conditions followed by enhanced maintenance programs, health and safety upgrades, and additional costs associated with extreme cold weather experienced during the quarter.

It is important to note that BOEs (barrels of oil equivalent) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
