Spartan Delta Corp. Provides Operational and Corporate Update Highlighted by Asset Outperformance

CALGARY, AB, July 6, 2020 /CNW/ - Spartan Delta Corp. ("Spartan" or the "Company") (TSXV: SDE) is pleased to provide an update on the Company's operational and corporate activities since the closing of its transformational transaction on June 1, 2020, which included the acquisition of high-quality, multi-zone, oil and gas operated production in Alberta, a large land base and a strategic infrastructure footprint (the "Transaction"). The Transaction, completed for total consideration of $108.8 million, positions Spartan as an intermediate exploration and development company whose growth strategy is focused on the acquisition and development of underexploited and undercapitalized assets that offer material upside and sustainable free cash flow within the current commodity price environment.

Asset Outperformance Supported by Strong Hedge Book

Based on field receipts, Spartan's current production is estimated at approximately 26,000 boe/d1, primarily from the Ferrier and Willesden Green areas, compared to approximately 25,000 boe/d (30% oil and natural gas liquids) estimated at the time of closing the Transaction five weeks ago. This production outperformance was achieved without capital investment and demonstrates the success of Spartan's recent production optimization and integration activities, the high caliber of staff retained through the Transaction, as well as the predictable and stable nature of its asset base. Continued growth will be pursued through the ongoing development of existing assets with exposure to the Spirit River, Cardium and other Cretaceous target formations, along with synergistic and accretive acquisitions. Spartan's future growth is supported by the Company's strategic working interest ownership in three gas plants, including one operated deep cut facility with excess capacity. This infrastructure, with an estimated $200 million of replacement value net to the Company, ensures Spartan can capitalize on both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, positively impacting corporate operating efficiencies.

To protect project economics and cash flows, while mitigating ongoing volatility in commodity markets, Spartan has strategically hedged approximately 60% of its natural gas volumes for the latter half of 2020 and approximately 45% of forecast natural gas volumes for 2021 at attractive price levels. Spartan's complete natural gas hedging positions as of July 6, 2020 are outlined below:

Fostering Key Stakeholder Relationships

As a critical component of its strategy, Spartan is targeting industry leadership across environmental, social and governance ("ESG") best practices and will uphold a corporate culture that embodies the responsible and ethical stewardship of assets and investor capital. Consistent with this philosophy, Spartan and the O'Chiese First Nation community are working together to set the stage for a long and mutually beneficial relationship based on trust and mutual respect. The O'Chiese First Nation currently has a five percent working interest in Spartan's operated Nees-Ohpawaganu'ck deep cut plant and is a joint venture partner in the development of oil and gas resources situated on O'Chiese First Nation lands. Spartan will seek to engage O'Chiese First Nation businesses and business partners for its field operations, further supporting a collaborative environment that can benefit both parties.

Upon closing of the Transaction, Spartan seamlessly integrated the acquired assets, systems, processes and most importantly, people, despite the social distancing challenges presented by COVID-19. With the addition of over 100 new, permanent employees and contractors across its head office and field operations, Spartan is pleased to have assembled a talented group of professionals who bring valuable skills, expertise, and knowledge of the acquired assets, further strengthening the Company's rapidly evolving position in the industry.

Second Quarter 2020 Results

The Company also confirms its second quarter 2020 financial and operating results for the period ended June 30, 2020 will be issued by press release and filed on SEDAR before markets open on August 20th. Spartan also anticipates posting an updated corporate presentation on its website contemporaneous with the second quarter results release.

BOE Disclosure

The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6 Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in the report are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this press release.

All dollar figures included herein are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
