This statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information is dated July 21, 2021.
The effective date is March 31, 2021.
The preparation date is July 21, 2021.
The following is a summary of the oil and natural gas reserves and the value of future net revenue of Zenith Energy Ltd. (the "Company") as evaluated by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. ("Chapman") as at March 31, 2021, and dated May 31, 2021 (the "Chapman Report"). Chapman is an independent qualified reserves evaluator and auditor.
All evaluations of future revenue are after the deduction of future income tax expenses, unless otherwise noted in the tables, royalties, development costs, production costs and well abandonment costs but before consideration of indirect costs such as administrative, overhead and other miscellaneous expenses. The estimated future net revenue contained in the following tables does not necessarily represent the fair market value of the Company's reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions contained in the Chapman Report will be attained and variances could be material. Other assumptions and qualifications relating to costs and other matters are included in the Chapman Report. The recovery and reserves estimates on the Company's properties described herein are estimates only. The actual reserves on the Company's properties may be greater or less than those calculated.
All monetary values presented in this document are expressed in terms of US dollars.

The following tables set forth the volumes of proved undeveloped net reserves that were first attributed for each of the Company's product types for the most recent three financial years and in the aggregate before that time, and the subsequent discussions generally describe the basis on which the Company attributes proved undeveloped reserves and its plans for developing those undeveloped reserves:
The Company had no proved undeveloped reserves in Italy and Tunisia and as at March 31, 2021 or in prior years.
The following tables set forth the volumes of probable undeveloped net reserves that were first attributed for each of the Company's product types for the most recent three financial years and in the aggregate before that time and the subsequent discussions generally describe the basis on which the Company attributes probable undeveloped reserves and its plans for developing those undeveloped reserves:

The Company's probable undeveloped non-associated gas reserves in Italy are located in the Torrente Cigno Concession. These reserves will be developed by a horizontal well, offsetting a producing well, scheduled to be drilled in late 2022.

The estimation of reserves requires significant judgment and decisions based on available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data. These estimates can change substantially as additional information from ongoing development activities and production performance becomes available and as economic and political conditions impact oil and gas prices and costs change. The Company's estimates are based on current production forecast, prices and economic conditions. All of the Company's reserves are evaluated by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd., an independent engineering firm.
As circumstances change and additional data becomes available, reserve estimates also change. Based on new information, reserves estimates are reviewed and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted. Although every reasonable effort has been made by the Company to ensure that reserves estimate is accurate, revisions may arise as new information becomes available. As new geological, production and economic data is incorporated into the process of estimating reserves the accuracy of the reserve estimate improves.
On 2 March 2020, the Company announced that, in view of Zenith's strategic focus on pursuing largescale oil production and development opportunities in Africa, it will hand over the Contract Rehabilitation Area to SOCAR. Zenith continued to operate the Contract Rehabilitation Area until the handover of the Contract Rehabilitation Area which was completed during the month of June 2020.
In the year 2020 Zenith entered the markets of Africa. Terminating the activities of the Company in Azerbaijan had set free financial and operative resources to develop the activities in the new markets in Africa.
On March 15, 2021, the Company announced that Zenith Energy Africa Limited ("ZEAL"), its newly incorporated fully owned subsidiary, has entered into a share purchase agreement ("SPA") with Candax Energy Limited ("Candax") for the acquisition of a 100 percent interest in Candax's fully owned subsidiary in Barbados, Ecumed Petroleum Zarzis Ltd ("EPZ") (the "Acquisition"), which holds a 45% interest in the Ezzaouia Concession ("Ezzaouia").
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, ZEAL has agreed to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of EPZ for the aggregate amount of US\$150,000, paid by the Company at completion, as well an additional US\$100,000 to be satisfied by the issue of ordinary shares in the share capital of Zenith to be issued within sixty days of completion ("Consideration Shares") and a royalty payable and calculated as US\$0.35 per each barrel of hydrocarbons produced from the Ezzaouia oilfield and allocable to EPZ, with the royalty not being less than an amount of US\$50,000 per annum for a period of ten years.
• Ezzaouia is located in onshore Tunisia on the Zarzis peninsula, south of the island of Djerba in the southern Gulf of Gabes.
The following tables show the gross development costs anticipated in the next five years, which have been deducted in the estimation of the future net revenues of the proved and probable reserves.
