Sky Quarry Signs Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Introduce BioForce Nanosciences to Potential Financing Sources
Any financing proceeds would go directly to BioForce or an agreed project entity, rather than Sky Quarry.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Sky Quarry (Nasdaq: SKYQ) signed a non-binding letter of intent to introduce BioForce Nanosciences to potential financing sources for Nevada oil development. BioForce is seeking approximately $25 million. This is the second letter of intent under Sky Quarry’s Nevada Oil Development Program, which targets up to $50 million in third-party investment directly into qualified producers and projects, not a funding commitment.
The non-exclusive arrangement lasts 180 days and may be terminated by either party at any time. BioForce must approve each prospective financing source in writing and retains discretion over proposals. The parties intend to evaluate potential crude purchases for Sky Quarry’s Eagle Springs Refinery if BioForce obtains financing and begins production. Purchases would require a separate definitive agreement at market-based pricing; Sky Quarry receives no preferential production rights.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

News Explained
Reported oil volumes remain prospective estimates, not reserves, and Sky Quarry has not independently verified them.
The signed, non-binding LOI further specifies that Sky Quarry has no obligation to provide financing from its own balance sheet and receives no transaction-based fee; the contemplated financing is not intended to issue Sky Quarry securities, and proceeds would go directly to BioForce or an agreed project entity.
BioForce says an independent assessment gives gross, unrisked P50 estimates for Fox Mountain of 8.085 billion barrels in place and 1.349 billion technically recoverable, and for South Lund of 2.932 billion barrels in place and 497 million technically recoverable. These are prospective-resource estimates, not reserves, and Sky Quarry says it has not independently verified them.

Second letter of intent under Sky Quarry’s Nevada Oil Development Program relates to two Nevada oil prospects near Sky Quarry’s Eagle Springs Refinery
WOODS CROSS, Utah, Nov. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sky Quarry Inc. (Nasdaq: SKYQ), an energy infrastructure company focused on domestic refining and resource development, today announced that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent with BioForce Nanosciences Holdings, Inc. (BFNH) under which Sky Quarry will use commercially reasonable efforts to introduce BioForce, subject to BioForce’s prior written approval of each prospective financing source, to potential financing sources for BioForce’s Nevada oil exploration, drilling and development program. BioForce has advised Sky Quarry that it is seeking approximately
The agreement advances Sky Quarry’s Nevada Oil Development Program, announced August 5, 2026, which targets up to
Two Prospects Across Nearly 20,000 Acres
BioForce has reported that it holds federal oil and gas leases covering approximately 19,957 acres in Nevada’s White River Valley. BioForce furnished an independent prospective resources assessment by Ryder Scott Company, L.P. with its August 18, 2026, Form 8-K. As reported by BioForce, the assessment presents the following gross, unrisked P50 estimates for the Fox Mountain and South Lund prospects. These are estimates of prospective resources, not reserves. Sky Quarry has not independently verified them.1
| Prospect | P50 Original Oil in Place | P50 Technically Recoverable Prospective Oil |
| Fox Mountain | 8.085 billion barrels | 1.349 billion barrels |
| South Lund | 2.932 billion barrels | 497 million barrels |
“When we announced the Nevada program, we set out to find projects where we could help connect exploration capital with a potential local market for production,” said Marcus Laun, Interim Chief Executive Officer and President of Sky Quarry. “BioForce has assembled nearly 20,000 acres of federal leases and commissioned an independent prospective resources assessment. With this letter of intent, we have a specific project to introduce to potential financing sources, subject to BioForce’s approval. If drilling establishes commercial production, Foreland could offer a nearby market for crude that meets our refinery specifications, subject to a separate agreement on market-based terms.”
Potential Supply for Eagle Springs
Sky Quarry’s wholly owned subsidiary, Foreland Refining Corporation, operates the Eagle Springs Refinery near Ely, Nevada. If BioForce obtains financing and commences production, the parties intend to evaluate a potential crude oil purchase or offtake relationship. A new regional source of crude could diversify Foreland’s supply and reduce trucking distances. Any purchase would depend on commercial production, crude quality, volumes, pricing, transportation costs and refinery requirements, and would require a separate definitive agreement at market-based pricing. The letter of intent gives Sky Quarry no right of first refusal, right of first offer or other preferential right to BioForce’s production. BioForce remains free to sell its production to any purchaser.
Sky Quarry’s contemplated role under the letter of intent is limited to introducing BioForce to financing sources that BioForce has approved and assisting with related presentations. Sky Quarry does not guarantee that any financing will be obtained, and it has no obligation to provide financing from its own balance sheet. The letter of intent provides for no fee or other transaction-based compensation to Sky Quarry. Any investment would be subject to the financing source’s independent diligence and approval and to definitive agreements negotiated directly with BioForce. The

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements regarding potential financing introductions and investments, BioForce’s exploration and drilling plans, estimates of prospective resources, possible discoveries and commercial production, potential crude purchases and anticipated benefits to Sky Quarry’s refining operations. Actual results may differ materially due to financing availability, permitting, geological and drilling results, recovery performance, commodity prices, development and transportation costs, crude quality and the ability of the parties to enter into definitive agreements. Other risks include the non-binding nature of the letter of intent, either party’s right to terminate it at any time, and its non-exclusive nature. Exploration may yield no discovery, and any discovery may prove uneconomic. Prospective resource estimates are inherently uncertain and were prepared for BioForce, not Sky Quarry. Readers should review the risk factors in Sky Quarry’s SEC filings. Sky Quarry undertakes no obligation to update these statements except as required by law.

1 Prospective resources are estimated quantities of oil that may potentially be recovered from undiscovered accumulations through future development projects. They carry both a risk of discovery and a risk of development, and they are not reserves. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be discovered, or that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion that is discovered. The estimates shown are gross and unrisked and have not been adjusted for the chance of discovery or development.
