Notes:

    1. "Gross Reserves" are the Company's working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deducting of royalties and without including any royalty interests of the Company. "Net Reserves" are the Company's working interest (operating or nonoperating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus the Company's royalty interests in reserves.
    1. "Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
    1. "Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.
    1. "Possible" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.
    1. "Developed" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g. when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production.
    1. "Developed Producing" reserves are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.
    1. "Developed Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown.
    1. "Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from know accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned.
    1. Includes associated, non-associated and solution gas where applicable.

Part 3 - Pricing Assumptions

The following tables detail the benchmark reference prices for the regions in which the Company operated, as at March 31, 2021, reflected in the reserves data disclosed above under "Part 2 – Disclosure of Reserves Data". The forecast price assumptions assume the continuance of current laws and regulations and take into account inflation with respect to future operating and capital costs. There will be adjustments to field prices from the benchmarks below:

Part 5 – Additional Information Relating to Reserves Data

Undeveloped Reserves

PROVED

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.

PROBABLE

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:

Significant Factors or Uncertainties

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.

Acquisition Highlights

• Ezzaouia is located in onshore Tunisia on the Zarzis peninsula, south of the island of Djerba in the southern Gulf of Gabes.

  • First discovered by Marathon Petroleum Corporation in 1986, with production activities starting in 1990 with a peak production being achieved of 35,000 barrels of oil per day in 1991.
  • Ezzaouia produces an average of 40 API gravity oil from the Zebbag (Lower Cretaceous) and Mrabatine (Upper Jurassic) formations.
  • It is operated by MARETAP, a joint operating company owned in partnership with the national oil company of Tunisia, ETAP (Entreprise Tunisienne d'Activités Pétrolières) on a 50:50 basis, which holds a 55 percent interest in Ezzaouia.
  • It produced at a rate of approximately of 551 bopd (approximately 248 bopd net to Zenith) during March 2021
  • Approximately 25,000 barrels of oil were held in storage at the acquisition date, with a commercial value of approximately US\$1,250,000.
  • Planned field production optimisation and workover activities are expected to increase Ezzaouia gross production to 1,000 bopd (potentially resulting in a production of 450 bopd net to Zenith).
  • The Acquisition has certain development obligations during the course of the new 20-year concession including the drilling of a side-track, the drilling of a replacement well and that of a development well.
  • On April 19, 2019, the Tunisian State represented by the Ministry of Industry and Small & Medium Enterprises informed ETAP and EPZ that the Comité Consultatif des Hydrocarbures ("CCH") had provided a favourable opinion to the application submitted by ETAP and EPZ for a new 20-year concession to be called "Ezzaouia" (the "New Concession").
  • A Convention for the New Concession (the agreed work programme between ETAP and EPZ) has been signed by both parties.
  • The New Concession is currently awaiting parliamentary approval.
  • Ezzaouia has modern oil treatment and storage facilities with a total field storage capacity of approximately 20,000 barrels of oil.
  • MARETAP, the joint operating company, operates an oil storage terminal, connected to Ezzaouia by way of two pipelines (one for gas and one for oil respectively), at the port of Zarzis, with a storage capacity of approximately 200,000 barrels of oil, from which all oil production from Ezzaouia is exported to the international markets.

Future Development Costs

The reserves data are estimates of proved reserves and probable reserves and related future net revenue as at March 31, 2021, estimated using forecast prices and costs. The prospective resources data are risked estimates of the volume of prospective resources.
    1. The reserves data and prospective resources data are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the reserves and resources data based on our evaluation.
    1. We carried out our evaluation in accordance with standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook as amended from time to time (the "COGE Handbook') maintained by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter).

  • (a) reviewed the Company's procedures for providing information to the independent qualified reserves evaluator;
  • (b) met with the independent qualified reserves evaluator to determine whether any restrictions affected the ability of the independent qualified reserves evaluator to report without reservation and, in the event of a proposal to change the independent qualified reserves evaluator, to inquire whether there had been disputes between the previous independent qualified reserves evaluator and management; and
  • (c) reviewed the reserves data with management and the independent qualified reserves evaluator.

The board of directors has reviewed the Company's procedures for assembling and reporting other information associated with oil and gas activities and has reviewed that information with management. The board of directors has approved

  • (a) the content and filing with securities regulatory authorities of Form 51-101F1 containing reserves data and other oil and gas information;
  • (b) the filing of Form 51-101F2 which is the report of the independent qualified reserves evaluator on the reserves data and
