Kelt Provides Update on Start-Up of Third-Party Gas Plant at Wembley

Kelt Exploration Ltd. (TSX: KEL,OTC:KELTF) ("Kelt" or the "Company") is providing an update on the start-up for the newly constructed Albright Gas Plant ("Albright") near the Company's lands at WembleyPipestone, Alberta. Albright is owned and operated by a third-party mid-stream company, CSV Midstream Solutions Corp. ("CSV"). CSV is an Alberta based company headquartered in Calgary with assets located in the Grande Prairie and Grande Cache areas of Northern Alberta.

CSV has informed Kelt that it has finalized commissioning and has now commenced operations at Albright. Kelt has initiated deliveries of gas to the plant and expects to gradually increase deliveries as the plant works through its start-up operations.

Kelt will monitor the rate at which it can increase deliveries to Albright over the coming days and expects to provide updated 2025 production guidance when the Company releases its third quarter results on November 13, 2025. The lower end of the Company's forecasted average daily production for 2025 was expected to be 42,000 BOE per day. However, with the delay in start-up of Albright, as well as gas that Kelt shut-in due to low to negative AECO prices, the Company expects its annual average guidance to be reduced by 3% to 5% from the low end of its previous guidance. Kelt had shut-in approximately 60 MMcf per day of relatively dry gas production for approximately 15 days. This production has been brought back on-stream since AECO prices have made a strong recovery with the November 2025 contract currently trading near $2.45/GJ and the December 2025 contract currently trading near $3.25/GJ.

During the seven months ended July 31, 2025, Kelt's average production in its Wembley/Pipestone division was approximately 14,300 BOE per day (55% oil & NGLs and 45% gas). With the successful start-up of Albright, the Company expects to increase its production at Wembley/Pipestone to within a range of 23,000 to 25,000 BOE per day.

MEASUREMENTS

All dollar amounts are referenced in thousands of Canadian dollars, except when noted otherwise. This press release contains various references to the abbreviation BOE which means barrels of oil equivalent. Where amounts are expressed on a BOE basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six thousand cubic feet per barrel and sulphur volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at 0.6 long tons per barrel. The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is significantly different than the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil and natural gas. This conversion factor is an industry accepted norm and is not based on either energy content or current price. Such abbreviation may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. References to "oil" in this press release include crude oil and field condensate. References to "natural gas liquids" or "NGLs" include pentane, butane, propane, and ethane. References to "liquids" include field condensate and NGLs. References to "gas" in this discussion include natural gas and sulphur.
