Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 1, 2016) - WELLSTAR ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: WSE) (the "Company")
advises that the Company has entered into a Letter of Intent dated November 25, 2016 (the "LOI") in connection with the
acquisition of Sundial Energy Ltd. ("Sundial") which represents an undivided 100% interest in its assets and intellectual property.
Sundial is involved in the field of geothermal heating applications, LED lighting and solar power generation.
WellStar, at its McTaggart, SK oil project produces in excess of 1,200 barrels per day of oil and water that at surface is
approximately 50 degrees Celsius. Currently, the produced oil and water are gravity separated, then the produced hot water is
pumped into the Company's onsite disposal well, leaving a significant resource of unutilized geothermal heat.
The excess heat in the volume of liquids produced from the Company's oil wells at its McTaggart project is rare but not unique.
The Company believes that existing pumping oil wells that produce significant heat can be used as a source of energy for many
applications. The acquisition of Sundial Energy with its renewable energy expertise, will assist WellStar in developing the process
to make use of this otherwise wasted resource.
Through work spearheaded by Sundial and the Living Energy Project in Leduc, Alberta, WellStar further believes that
opportunities lie in utilizing existing suspended wells as a source for a geothermal loop. This would allow for the installation of
a geothermal unit that would generate energy by extracting heat from oil or natural gas wells already drilled, effectively
deferring abandonment of wells that outlived their economic hydrocarbon cycle by recycling the existing wellbores for another
useful mandate.
Additionally, WellStar has signed a lease option agreement and secured 4 acres of highly arable land neighboring its McTaggart,
SK project for the purpose of becoming a leader in utilizing captured geothermal energy from its producing oil wells to heat
greenhouses and produce profitable crops.
Heating is a major component of a commercial greenhouse facility's operating budget. Eliminating that cost center would provide
a significant increase in profit margins for food, medicinal crops, herbs or flowers grown in greenhouses.
Company president and CEO Andrew H. Rees commented "While this is not a change in focus or direction for the Company, management
is excited at having the opportunity to be an industry leader by profitably capturing heat from producing oil wells while providing
a social benefit to surrounding communities by offering a fresh and local food source. There is an additional opportunity to scale
this project by partnering with local communities in addition to communities in remote areas."
Upon signing a definitive agreement with Sundial, the Company will issue Sundial 250,000 common shares of WellStar Energy Corp.
The Company will issue an additional 250,000 common shares of WellStar Energy Corp. to Sundial on the one year anniversary from
closing.
The completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon, among other things, completion of due diligence, entering into a mutually
acceptable definitive agreement by December 15, 2016; and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the Acquisition,
including from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V").
