expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information or statements. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, this
presentation contains forward-looking information and statements pertaining to the following: business strategy and objectives of
Hemisphere Energy Corporation ("Hemisphere"), the volumes and estimated value of Hemisphere’s oil and gas reserves; the volume of
Hemisphere’s oil and gas production; future production estimates; future oil and natural gas prices; future liquidity and financial capacity;
future results from operations and operating metrics; future costs, expenses and royalty rates; future cash flows; future interest costs;
the exchange rate between the $US and $Cdn; future development, exploration, acquisition and development activities and related capital
expenditures and forecasts; the amount and timing of capital projects; operating costs; and the total future capital associated with
development of reserves and resources.
The recovery, reserve and resource estimates of Hemisphere’s reserves and resources provided herein are estimates only and there is no
guarantee that the estimated reserves or resources will be recovered. Throughout this presentation various references are made to
"potential" and "targeted" resource and recoveries which have been prepared by management of Hemisphere and are not estimates of
reserves or resources. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on same. Such information has been prepared by management
for the purposes of making capital investment decisions and for internal budget preparation only. In addition, forward looking statements

ADVISORY STATEMENTS
Certain information in this document may constitute "analogous information" as defined in National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and
Gas Activities ("NI-51-101"), including but not limited to, information relating to the areas in geographical proximity to lands that are or may be held by
Hemisphere. Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. Hemisphere believes the
information is relevant as it helps to define the reservoir characteristics in which Hemisphere may hold an interest. Hemisphere is unable to confirm that
the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor. Such information is not an estimate of the reserves or resources
attributable to lands held or potentially to be held by Hemisphere and there is no certainty that the reservoir data and economics information for the lands
held or potentially to be held by Hemisphere will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by
Hemisphere may be in error and/or may not be analogous to such lands to be held by Hemisphere. Any references in this presentation to initial, early
and/or test or production performance rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinate of the rates at
which such wells will produce or continue production and to decline thereafter. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the
aggregate production for Hemisphere. The initial production rate may be estimated based on other third party estimates or limited data available at this
time. In all cases in this presentation, initial production or tests are not necessarily indicative of long term performance of the relevant well or fields or of
ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons.
The information contained in this corporate presentation does not purport to be all inclusive or to contain all information that a prospective investor may
require. Prospective investors are encouraged to conduct their own analysis and reviews of Hemisphere and of the information contained in this corporate
presentation. Without limitation, prospective investors should consider the advice of their financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors and such other
factors they consider appropriate in investigating and analyzing Hemisphere.
Any financial outlook or future oriented financial information, as defined by applicable securities legislation, has been approved by management of
Hemisphere. Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s
current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
In this presentation, certain terms that are not specifically defined in International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") are used to analyze the
Company’s future operating results. Management believes that certain measures not recognized under IFRS assist management and the reader in assessing
the Company’s expected performance and understanding the Company’s outlook. These measures provide the reader with additional insight into the
Company’s performance. However, these terms do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the
calculations of similar measures for other entities.
Note: A boe means barrel-of-oil equivalent on the basis of 1 boe to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
A boe conversion ratio of 1 boe for 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas 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 dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
Original Oil In Place (OOIP) is equivalent to Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place (DPIIP). DPIIP, as defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluations
Handbook (COGEH), is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The
recoverable portion of DPIIP includes production, reserves and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable.
OOIP/DPIIP estimates are based on current accepted technology and prepared by Hemisphere’s qualified reservoir engineers and geologists.
