4 BACKGROUND – ILLINOIS BASIN

› Major Resource for WWII effort

› Over 155,000 wells drilled

› 4.3 Billion barrels recovered to date

› 20% PIIP typically recovered from primary methods

› Significant resource available

“Our story is about economic recovery rather than wildcat exploration”

“It is about recovery of the By-Passed Pay”

› We have cherry picked 40,000 acres

› We have an integrated data set

› In the past, the combination of historic sub $2 per barrel oil price and inadequate drilling techniques left considerable oil behind. We call this opportunity “By-Passed Pay”

› The opportunity arises from better oil prices, better drilling and extraction techniques

Blue Spruce Discovery

Continue Development of 1.2 million barrel field (P2 Reserves)1

Drill 1 Development Wells

After a thorough geological review of the following prospects, which review was similar to that undertaken on the Blue Spruce project prior to drilling, the Company aims to achieve the following results on new vertical Illinois prospects.

Red Oak Prospect – Drill Potential 2.9 mmbbl gross resource3

- 1.0 mmbbl Prospective Resource net

Maple Prospect – Drill Potential 1.6 mmbbl gross resource3

- .9 mm Prospective Resource net

Aimed outcome post this drilling, with success3: Increase 2P Reserves – adding 1 to 2 mmbbl 2P3

Increase Production to ~150 bopd

Increase NPV (10%disc) to USD$100 to $150mm

1) DS-3 (See Disclaimer at the end of this presentation)2) DS-1, DS-2 (See Disclaimer at the end of this presentation)3) Resources and Prospective Resource figures are from an internal report prepared by Mr. Timothy Hoops, CEO/President of Strata-X Energy Ltd. dated 12 May 2015 following analysis of the available technical data including the geological and geophysical interpretation, information from relevant nearby wells and analogous reservoirs and the proposed program for the project, resource figures shown are gross to the prospect which includes lands not currently leased by the Company. Guidance to increase in 2P reserves was generated by risking the chance of discovery on the resource from the internal report. Prospective Resource figures net to the Company (Best Estimate) for the Red Oak Prospect are 2.9 mmbbl. and Maple is 900 mbbl. (DS-5).

DS-4 Prospective Resource information cited in this Presentation for the vertical well economics are Prospective Resources, per an independent third party report effective 2 October 2014 (“Report”) from Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. (“Chapman”) who's author, Charles Moore, a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Alberta, Canada, consented to the inclusion of the information as it originally appeared and information relating to the Prospective Resource is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Strata-X and reviewed by Charles Moore. There is no certainty that stated resources will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. The Report reviewed only Prospective Resources as the project is not sufficiently developed to assign Contingent Resources or additional Petroleum Reserves to it. Figures shown reflect Strata-X’s economic interest (US Dollars) net of royalty or other burdens and were generated, using the deterministic method. Forecasted figures were derived using forward commodity strip pricing, regional drilling, completion and production expenditures and applicable production taxes. Strata-X is the title holder of the tenement/leases held covering the Copper Mountain Oil Project which were subject to the Report.

DS-5 Resource and Prospective Resources information cited in this Presentation for the Oak and Maple projects are gross resources and guidance projections for future expected reserves are per an internal Strata-X Energy Ltd report dated 12 May 2015 who's author, Timothy Hoops CEO/President of Strata-X Energy and is an employee thereof, is a member of the American Association of Professional Geologist’s, consents to the inclusion of the information as it appears and information relating to the resource and Prospective Resource is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Strata-X. There is no certainty that stated resources or any Prospective Resources will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. The Report reviewed only gross resources as the project is not sufficiently developed to assign additional Prospective Resources or Contingent Resources or additional Petroleum Reserves to it other than stated herein. Resource figures shown are gross to the identified structure and do not represent Strata-X’s net interest. Prospective Resource figures net to the Company economic interest (Best Estimate) for the Oak Prospect are 1.0 mmbbl. and Maple is 900 mbbl. The Report was generated following analysis of the available technical data including the geological and geophysical interpretation, information from relevant nearby wells and analogous reservoirs and the proposed program for the project, some general resource figures shown are gross to the prospect which includes lands not currently leased by the Company. Guidance to increase in 2P reserves was generated by risking the chance of discovery on the resource from the internal report. Strata-X expects to explore the resources and prospective resources in the report between 2015 and 2017. Hydrocarbon marketing and infrastructure related thereto are commonplace in the area and available to the Company; at this time the Company does not expect the exploration of this project will require burdensome environmental permits. In the report, Strata-X gave consideration to both geological and commerciality factors. The geological factors include the four main geological components of a petroleum system needed for commercial production, source rocks available to generate hydrocarbons, reservoir rocks to accumulate hydrocarbons, a stratigraphic or structural trapping mechanism with a seal to hold hydrocarbons and a mechanism and proper geological timing allowing for hydrocarbons to migrate into the trap. For the best estimated Prospective Resources the Report reviewed approximately 21 net tenements/leases held by the Company with individual owners covering the Company’s net economic interest with each tenement/lease having a range of expiration dates, royalties and other provisions.
