President's Message

2023 was a transformational year for Source Rock. We followed-up on our November 2022 S.E. Saskatchewan acquisition for $3.5 million with three additional royalty acquisitions in central Alberta and S.E. Saskatchewan . In total, $13 million was deployed in 2023 and $16.5 million of acquisitions have been completed since our IPO in March 2022 . These acquisitions grew our royalty lands by approximately 100%, materially increasing both Source Rock's existing royalty production and our exposure to undeveloped drill locations.

Despite the growth achieved, our corporate cost structure did not increase materially, and our acquisitions plus the consistent drilling activity on our royalty lands led to strong financial results. This financial strength allowed us to transition to a monthly dividend and increase the dividend by 10% in April 2023 and an additional 9% in October 2023 (for a 20% total increase during the year). Since our IPO at $0.90 per share, we have paid $0.15 per share in dividends. Since 2014, we have paid cumulative dividends of $16.9 million .

Given the robust rates of return being achieved by certain operators on our oil focused royalty lands, we expect consistent drilling activity in 2024 on our newly acquired Clearwater royalty lands and periodic drilling of both development and exploration wells on portions of our S.E. Saskatchewan royalty lands. With expanded base production following our 2023 acquisitions and strong drilling activity during the year, current oil prices provide Source Rock with strong base revenue from our existing royalties.

Source Rock's working capital as of February 29, 2024 was approximately $2.2 million ( $0.05 per share), and we have no debt or future financial obligations relating to any of our assets. 2023 was Source Rock's 11 th year in business, and the opportunities to expand our royalty partners, and grow and diversify our portfolio of oil royalties, remain very attractive. We continue to identify and evaluate multiple potential royalty acquisitions and intend to execute on further growth in 2024. We are focused on continuing to build a scalable and sustainable business that maintains a high profit margin and pristine balance sheet, and balances growth with providing a strong yield to shareholders.

Oil and Gas Price Update: Q1 2025 in Review

The oil sector faced volatility throughout the first quarter of 2025.

Concerns around weak demand, increasing supply and trade tensions came to head in early April, pushing oil prices to four year lows and eroding the support Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) had above the US$65 per barrel level.

Starting the year at US$75 (Brent) and US$72 (WTI), the oil benchmarks rallied in mid-January, reaching five month highs of US$81.86 and US$78.90, respectively. Tariff threats and trade tensions between the US and China, along with soft demand in Asia and Europe, dampened the global economic outlook for 2025 and added headwinds for oil prices.

This pressure caused oil prices to slip to Q1 lows of US$69.12 (Brent) and US$66.06 (WTI) in early March.
