Point Loma Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PLX) (the
"
Corporation" or “
Point Loma”)
which has captured over 160,000 net acres across the multi-zone
Mannville, Nordegg and Banff fairway’s of west central Alberta is
pleased to announce recent and planned future production additions
and an update of core area activities.
Fourth Quarter Outlook
In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Corporation
will be activating many previously non-producing properties and
looking to increase the product weighting towards oil and NGL’s.
Point Loma has been preparing for these increases through the
summer months after the closing of two financings in May and June
of 2017. These additions should advance the Corporation to the next
level of its growth curve and provide a shift into a positive cash
generating position.

1W5: Upcoming Horizontal Completion and Test on Newly
Drilled Mannville Play Targeting Sparky Oil
Point Loma has drilled and cased a horizontal
Sparky oil well in the area where a completion (multi-stage frac
and test) is planned for mid-October. Once completed, it is
anticipated that the Sparky well will be pipeline connected on the
same surface lease as the previously drilled and tested Glauconitic
well in section 18-49-1W5. The two wells will flow to an area
operator’s facility as a combined emulsion line. Upon commencement
of production these wells are expected to establish Point Loma in
the area and provide a base for potential future development of an
additional four to six horizontal drilling opportunities on
existing lands. Production is anticipated to commence in early
November 2017.

6W5: Targeting Oil in the Nordegg and Banff
Plays
The 5-31-55-6W5 well was placed on production
October 1, 2017 and Point Loma is working to stabilize the run time
on the well as the gas and fluid combination is now produced as a
pumping oil well. As announced previously (September 18, 2017),
this production is from the upper Nordegg zone which is viewed as
prospective for future horizontal oil development opportunities.
The well pad is configured for two additional wells that would
produce through the existing pipeline which will enhance the
economics of the future wells. Point Loma also controls the
surrounding lands which could lead to a larger development
opportunity. Point Loma is currently evaluating the potential of
using 3D seismic to further delineate the pool and assist in
delineating a potential Banff oil target underlying the Nordegg
discovery. Point Loma recently added eight sections of land on the
Banff prospect at a Crown land sale.

Rge 7W5: Ongoing Horizontal Development in the Mannville
Ostracod A Pool
The Corporation recently drilled a horizontal
lateral development well into the Ostracod A pool that is currently
the focus of Point Loma production in the area. As expected, the
lateral encountered reservoir and oil shows to a total measured
depth of approximately 2800meters. During casing operations, the
well encountered tight sections that ultimately required the
lateral to be cemented back to 1,300 meters depth. Point Loma is
now planning to side track and re-drill the identified oil pay zone
once a full operational review is completed.
In addition, the Corporation anticipates that
the previously announced acquired horizontal oil well 12-4-56-7W5
will be transferred and placed on production in mid-October. The
12-4 well was drilled, completed and tied-in in 2014 and not placed
on production due to area facility constraints at the time that
have now been resolved. Point Loma believes the well should perform
at the upper end of the horizontal wells drilled into the Ostracod
A pool to date. Point Loma will also explore re-activation or
re-entry of the second well purchased in the transaction for
further production additions. Two incremental horizontal drilling
opportunities are also supported on the land acquired.

13-15W4: Files Development Plan to Tie-in and Reactivate
Existing Wells in First Quarter 2018
The Corporation has filed a development plan to
undertake pipelining and reconnection of multiple wells in the
Thornbury area during the first quarter of 2018. Capital investment
of approximately $360,000 is required to reconnect approximately
2.0 mmcfd (1.6 mmcfd net) of natural gas into Point Loma operated
facilities. The result will be an increase in area netbacks and
projected cash flow. Point Loma also has plans to abandon several
wells in the area while operations are underway that is expected to
ultimately reduce operating costs and liabilities.
“The combined results of these activities in
multiple areas should not only result in a step change of increased
production but will lead to a higher liquids weighting for Point
Loma.” said Terry Meek, President and CEO of Point Loma. “Recent
activity and targeted land purchases also add to our deep inventory
of opportunities that position the Corporation for continued growth
in the coming years.”

Information
This press release contains forward-looking
statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of
applicable securities laws, including without limitation,
statements pertaining to Point Loma’s expectations as to production
and future potential production increases, as well as increases in
cash flow and the timing thereof; anticipated activations and
activities; future gas processing rates;future product weightings;
future exploration and development opportunities; Point Loma’s
expectations as to future prices of oil and natural gas; the focus
of Point Loma’s management team and go-forward strategy.
The use of any of the words “will”, “expects”,
“believe”, “plans”, “potential” and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements or information.
Although Point Loma believes that the expectations and assumptions
on which such forward-looking statements and information are based
are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the
forward-looking statements and information because Point Loma
cannot give assurance that they will prove to be correct.
Since forward-looking statements and information
address future events and conditions, by their very nature they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number
of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to, the
risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as
operational risks in development, exploration and production;
delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or
development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of
reserve and resource estimates; the inability of Point Loma to

Oil and Gas Information
“BOEs” may be misleading, particularly if used
in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of
natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (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. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil
based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is
significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1,
utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an
indication of value.
References in this press release to production
test rates, initial test production rates, and other short-term
production rates are useful in confirming the presence of
hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates
at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter
and are not indicative of long term performance or of ultimate
recovery. Additionally, such rates may also include recovered "load
oil" fluids used in well completion stimulation. While encouraging,
readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in
calculating the aggregate production for Point Loma. A pressure
transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried
out in respect of all wells. Accordingly, the Corporation cautions
that the test results should be considered to be preliminary.
