2024 Guide to Listing

2024 GUIDE TO LISTING 41 1. “G&A” means general and administrative expenses. 2. “Proved developed reserves” are defined as those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities, or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve low expenditure, when compared to the cost of drilling a well, to put the reserves on production. 3. “NI 51-101” means National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil & Gas Activities – available at: http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/ 4. Exceptional circumstances may justify the granting of Exempt status notwithstanding the minimum requirements – generally an affiliation with an established business and/or exceptionally strong financial position is required. 5. Reserve value of pre-tax net present value of future cash flows using a 10% discount rate: forecast pricing assumptions are used. 6. This projection must also include actual financial results for the most recently completed quarter. 7. “Contingent resources” are defined in accordance with Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and NI 51-101; however, TSX in its discretion may exclude certain resources classified as contingent resources after taking into consideration the nature of the contingency. TSX will use the best-case estimate for contingent resources, prepared in accordance with NI 51-101. 8. The Company must submit a technical report prepared by an independent technical consultant that conforms to NI 51-101 and be acceptable to TSX. Reports prepared in conformity with other reporting systems deemed by TSX to be the equivalent of NI 51-101 will normally be acceptable also. The value of the resources should be calculated as the best-case estimate of the net present value of future cash flows before income taxes, prepared on a forecast basis, and discounted at a rate of 10%. TSX may, at its discretion, also require the provision of a price sensitivity analysis. 9. TSX strongly recommends pre-consultation with TSX for any applicant applying under this listing category. Generally, this category will be limited to issuers with unconventional oil and gas assets, such as oil sands. TSXV TSXV TIER 1 TSXV TIER 2 NET TANGIBLE ASSETS, EARNINGS OR REVENUE No requirements.
