In the interest of providing Petro-Victory's shareholders and potential investors with information regarding Petro-Victory's future plans and operations, certain statements in this press release are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "forecast", "intend", "may", "objective", "ongoing", "outlook", "potential", "project", "plan", "should", "target", "would", "will" or similar words suggesting future outcomes, events or performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date thereof and are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements relating to but not limited to: our business strategies, plans and objectives, and drilling, testing and exploration expectations. These forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions regarding, among other things: our ability to add production and reserves through our exploration activities; the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals for our operating activities; the availability and cost of labor and other industry services; the continuance of existing and, in certain circumstances, proposed tax and royalty regimes; and current industry conditions, laws and regulations continuing in effect (or, where changes are proposed, such changes being adopted as anticipated). Readers are cautioned that such assumptions, although considered reasonable by Petro-Victory at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect.

Actual results achieved will vary from the information provided herein as a result of numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors.

The above summary of assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements in this press release has been provided in order to provide shareholders and potential investors with a more complete perspective on Petro-Victory's current and future operations and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.

The disclosure in this news release summarizes certain information contained in the GLJ Reserves and Resources Report but ‎represents only a portion of the disclosure required under National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101"). Full disclosure with respect to the Company's reserves as at December 31, ‎‎2022 is contained in the Company's Form 51-101F1 for the year ended December 31, 2022 which has been filed on ‎SEDAR (www.sedar.com). All net present values in this press release are based on estimates of future operating and capital ‎costs and GLJ's forecast prices as of December 31, 2022 and have been made assuming the development of each property in respect of which the estimate is made will occur, without regard to the likely availability to the reporting issuer of funding required for that  development. The reserves definitions used in this evaluation are the standards ‎defined by the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH) reserve definitions, are consistent with NI 51-101 and ‎are used by GLJ. The net present values of future net revenue attributable to the Petro-Victory's reserves estimated by GLJ do ‎not represent the fair market value of those reserves. Other assumptions and qualifications relating to costs, prices for future ‎production and other matters are summarized herein. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Company's reserves ‎provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves ‎may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less ‎certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or ‎exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.‎

The term BARRELS OF OIL EQUIVALENT ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six ‎thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency ‎conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe ‎conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to ‎one barrel of oil.‎
