Permex Petroleum Corporation Announces Strategic Relationship with 360 Energy to Collaborate on In-Field Computing Infrastructure to Develop Hydrocarbons and Cryptocurrency

Parties looking to collaborate to bring modular bitcoin mining to Permex's oil & gas operations, potentially transforming the economics of natural gas monetization

Permex Petroleum Corporation (CSE: OIL,OTC:OILCF) (FSE: 75P) ("Permex" or the "Company"), a publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in the Permian Basin, is pleased to announce it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Texas-based 360 Energy, Inc. ("360 Energy"). 360 Energy is a next-generation oilfield services provider, specializing in the delivery and operations of turnkey, mobile gas offtake solutions that capture and monetize natural gas at the source.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Permex will work with 360 Energy to identify possible sites for the potential deployment of 360 Energy's In-Field Computing ("IFC") technology, an off-grid bitcoin mining operation powered solely by natural gas and requires no existing gas, electric, or network infrastructure. The IFC system is designed to convert produced natural gas directly into electricity to power 360 Energy's on-site data centers, which management believes has the potential to enable Permex to realize higher returns from natural gas volumes that would otherwise be flared, stranded, or sold at likely lower prices.

"We believe that a potential partnership with 360 Energy would allow Permex to move beyond traditional monetization models and embrace transformative technology that could enhance both asset value by capturing higher realizations on natural gas, as well as environmental performance by lowering methane emissions," said Bradley Taillon, Chief Executive Officer of Permex. "We believe 360 Energy's expertise in deploying scalable, pad-based computing systems could allow Permex to extract additional value from the Company's current and future gas production while positioning Permex at the forefront of innovation in the energy sector." continued Mr. Taillon. "This potential collaboration reflects a broader strategy by Permex to integrate disruptive technologies into the Company's core operations, and to rethink how oil and gas assets are valued, developed, and monetized in a rapidly changing energy landscape."

Permex intends to incorporate IFC technology into its asset evaluation process and capital allocation strategy moving forward and the parties are working towards entering a binding definitive agreement that is expected to be based on the terms outlined in the LOI. "We believe IFC technology has the potential to transform how hydrocarbons are valued, and Permex plans to be at the forefront of that transformation leading the way for how hydrocarbons and digital assets can be co-developed," said Mr. Taillon. "We currently estimate that the deployment of IFC units could capture natural gas realizations upwards of $10 per Mcf, while eliminating stranded and flared gas through localized utilization and potentially unlocking development of our fringe basins that currently have limited midstream access," concluded Mr. Taillon.

The LOI is non-binding to either Permex or 360 Energy and there can be no assurances that Permex will enter into a definitive binding agreement with 360 Energy in any particular time period, or at all, or on terms similar to those set forth in the LOI.
