San Leon provides a year end update on its Nowa Sol operations. The Nowa Sol exploration program is designed to test both the conventional potential and significant unconventional potential of the self-sourcing Permian Main Dolomite (Ca2).

The Main Dolomite, the primary oil-producing reservoir in Poland, is a high potential, underexplored play that San Leon is focusing on for near term oil production while the Company's large scale assets develop. Due to the self-sourcing and naturally fractured nature of the Ca2, San Leon is evaluating the unconventional potential of the interval as a significant oil producer.

Initial core results indicate the formation is an ideal fracturing (frac) candidate based upon the highly brittle nature of the Main Dolomite, which is encased in perfect frac barriers in the Zechstein salts and anhydrites. The Company is looking at potential analogues in the United States including the Mississippian Limestone and the Bakken Formation to understand drilling and completion techniques to unlock the huge upside potential of the play including long offset horizontals and hydraulic fracturing. Potential analogue production for the unconventional potential of the play is also present in older completions in the Main Dolomite of Eastern Germany.
