BLACK GOLD ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF FRITZ WELL DRILL PROGRAM

VANCOUVER, B.C., April 2, 2025 – BGX - Black Gold Exploration Corp. (the “Company” or “BGX) (CSE: BGX) (FRE: P30) is pleased to announce that drilling at the Fritz 2-30 oil and gas well (the “Well”) in Clay County, Indiana, has been completed (the “Drill Program”). BGX holds a 10% working interest in the Well and an option to participate in any offset developmental wells drilled within a 210-acre area of mutual interest surrounding the Well (the “AMI”) from LGX Energy Corp (“LGX”).

MULTIPLE PAY ZONES DISCOVERED

The Drill Program set out to test potential pay zones based on geological features identified by 3D seismic analysis. There were multiple zones with suspected high porosity and LGX has now confirmed multiple pay zones in the Carper Sand and Devonian formations. All these horizons are above 1,900 feet of total depth.

“These results confirm the accuracy of our analysis of the 3D seismic and other data we have compiled. We are very happy with the results of this drill program and believe there continues to be even more untapped value in this oil field,” commented Howard Crosby, CEO of LGX.

POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL OFFSET WELLS

Through the Drill Program, it was also determined that based on these initial results, there is the potential for several more offset wells based on this discovery well. This would include additional Carper Sand wells and multiple Devonian well locations.

“We are thrilled with the results of the Drill Program. Not only did we uncover multiple pay zones, but we now anticipate the potential for several more offset wells,” stated Francisco Gulisano, Chief Executive Officer of BGX.

PATH TO PRODUCTION AND CONTINUED GROWTH

The Drill Program showed that the Well can be completed and turned into a producing well within the next 30 to 60 days. The Company is now working with LGX to complete the Well and commence extraction. Within the coming weeks, the operator for LGX will perform a swab test and flow test to assess the Well’s productivity and reservoir characteristics. Based on the results of these tests, the Company expects to be able to estimate production from the Well and further details regarding plans for offset wells.

"I am very happy to be able to report to our shareholders that our strategy in the Illinois Basin has paid off. Not only do we have the potential to start producing cash flow for the Company as early as next quarter, but it appears the Fritz Well may be just the beginning of a lucrative partnership with LGX," added Mr. Gulisano.
