Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 22, 2016) - WELLSTAR ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: WSE) ("WellStar", or the "Company") announced today that Trimble Engineering Associates Ltd. ("Trimble"), a qualified reserves evaluator, has prepared a mechanical update (the "Mechanical Update") to the National Instrument 51-101 compliant report they completed effective August 31, 2015 (the "Reserves Report") estimating reserves and future net revenues for the Company's oil and gas properties in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The Mechanical Update specifically addresses the Company's McTaggart, SK property after WellStar's acquisition of its joint venture partner's interest in the project (see News Release dated December 21, 2015), and the positive changes in reserves and present worth.

WellStar President Andrew H. Rees stated "The Company is very pleased that the acquisition of our JV partner's interest in our flagship McTaggart, SK project, resulted in the dramatic increase in reserve values as demonstrated by the Mechanical Update of our NI51-101 Reserve Report. Management's focus will now be on optimising production at McTaggart, building value for WellStar shareholders.

The Company's reported reserves are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Proved reserves are those reserves which can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable; probable reserves are those additional reserves which are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. Possible reserves are those additional reserves which are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

The content of this press release has been reviewed by Trimble, as the Company's independent qualified reserves evaluator.
