Notes:
2-20-070-7W6 ("2-20") Well Cost Update
Blackbird incurred drilling and completions costs of approximately $9.9 million on the 2-20 Middle Montney well, excluding testing and other post-completion costs. Based on the 2-20 well''s proved plus probable reserves volumes of 1,089,300 boe, as assigned in the GLJ January 31, 2016 evaluation, this represents finding and development costs of $9.09/boe.
Under a development scenario, Blackbird estimates that drilling, completions, equipping and tie-in costs will total approximately $7.25 million per location, which is analogous with the costs achieved by other Elmworth Montney producers. With drilling, completions, equipping and tie-in costs of $7.25 million, finding and development costs decrease to $6.65/boe on a proved plus probable reserves basis.

Advisories and Forward Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking statements or information (collectively referred to herein as "forward-looking statements"). Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ materially from those contained in the statements and are not guarantees of future performance of the Company. Statements relating to "reserves" are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future. Statements relating to "costs" and "finding and development costs" are also deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve estimates and assumptions related to the cost of drilling, completions, equipping, and tie-in of future locations/wells, in conjunction with forward-looking statements regarding the Company''s reserves.
No assurance can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will occur or, if they do occur, what benefits the Company will obtain from them. These forward-looking statements reflect management''s current views and are based on certain expectations, estimates and assumptions which may prove to be incorrect. A number of risks and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including: (1) a downturn in general economic and business conditions in North America and internationally, (2) the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature associated with oil and gas exploration, development and production including drilling and completion risks, (3) the price of and demand for oil and gas and their effect on the economics of oil and gas exploration, (4) any number of events or causes which may delay or cease exploration and development of the Company''s property interests, such as environmental liabilities, weather, mechanical failures, safety concerns and labour problems, (5) the risk that the Company does not execute its business plan, (6) inability to retain key employees, (7) inability to finance operations and growth, and (8) other factors beyond the Company''s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the Company''s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of risks, uncertainties and other factors is not exhaustive. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. The impact of any one factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are dependent on other factors, and the Company''s course of action would depend on its assessment of the future considering all information then available.

Oil and Gas Advisory
The reserves information contained in this press release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and represents only a portion of the disclosure required under NI 51-101. Complete NI 51-101 reserves disclosure will be included in the Company''s filings for the year ended July 31, 2016 required in accordance with NI 51-101, which are expected to be filed in late November 2016.

Oil Equivalency Conversion (BOE)
Where amounts are expressed on a barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to BOE at a ratio of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf = 1 BOE). The conversion ratio is based upon an energy equivalent conversion method, primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent value equivalence at the wellhead. BOE values may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
