Fortem Resources Inc. Acquires 165,000 Acres of Oil and Gas Leases in the Moenkopi Formation, Utah

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2017) - Fortem Resources Inc. (OTCQB: FTMR) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that on April 12, 2017, it entered into and closed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "MPA") with two arm's length vendors to acquire all the membership interests of Black Dragon, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Black Dragon has the right to acquire a 75% working interest in and to certain leases, hydrocarbons, wells, agreements, equipment, surface rights agreements and assignable permits totaling approximately 165,000 acres (258 sections) at an 80% net revenue interest located in the Moenkopi formation of the Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah.

The Moenkopi oil resource play adjoins Grassy Trails field, which has produced a cumulative 731,000 barrels of oil from the Moenkopi formation. Along with Black Dragon's Moenkopi property, it comes with new production facilities and is currently producing high gravity oil (38+ API) from a single well awaiting a cleanout to enhance its current production. High quality 16sq mi 3D seismic has been performed on the property along with significant progress on drilling permits of 12 wells. Currently, there have been 543 penetrations in the Moenkopi formation from surrounding areas. In addition, Black Dragon's prospect also has three other potential formation targets like the Kaibab, Doughnut and Manning Canyon.

Michael Caetano, Director and CEO stated, "Let the building blocks continue. We are on the move and more than satisfied to add the Moenkopi asset to our portfolio list. This substantial asset definitely puts us in a different league and creates a platform for growth potential. With great partners and an experienced team, we look forward to a speedy development plan."

Agreement Terms

In consideration for the acquisition of Black Dragon, LLC, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock to the two vendors on the closing date and paid US$100,000 prior to the closing as a non-refundable deposit.

Black Dragon's sole asset consists of the rights and obligations arising from a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated effective March 1, 2017 (the "PSA") between an arm's length vendor and Black Dragon. Pursuant to the terms of the MPA, the parties may rescind the transactions, including the issuance of common shares thereunder, upon mutual agreement in the event that Black Dragon elects to terminate the PSA on or before April 17, 2017 due to the assertion by Black Dragon of one or more title defects as determined in accordance with the PSA. In the event that Black Dragon elects such termination and the parties have made certain closing deliveries under the MPA, such closing deliverables will be returned to the providing party and the closing under the MPA will be deemed not to have occurred (except for the payment of US$100,000 which was paid prior to closing on a non-refundable basis).

• US$900,000 on or before March 1, 2018; and
• US$800,000 on or before September 1, 2018.
