Sonoro Energy Ltd (the “Corporation “ or
“Sonoro”) (TSXV:SNV)


provides an update on
the Selat Panjang project in Sumatra, Indonesia. The Corporation also
announces its application to extend its common share purchase
warrants.

Negotiations between the project partners, Sonoro and
Menara Global Energi  (“MGE”), to agree to terms by which MGE
would take a share position in Sonoro have been ongoing until
recently. Unfortunately, MGE has indicated that it no longer is
interested in taking a share position in Sonoro or in pursuing any
relationship with Sonoro that would permit Sonoro to cure the legacy
issues and maintain an interest in the PSC.  Sonoro is extremely
disappointed that after serious discussions and efforts over the past
months that both parties were unable to find a mutually beneficial
structure to advance the Selat Panjang Project.

Over the past three years since the Selat Panjang PSC
was awarded to the partners whereby Sonoro had provided the technical
and operational experience to qualify for the bid round and won the
PSC with MGE providing financial qualifications Sonoro has continued
to attempt to negotiate with MGE the customary necessities   to
advance the PSC in Indonesia. An industry standard Joint Operating
Agreement (“JOA”) was to be put in place, however MGE frustrated
these efforts despite Sonoro agreeing to many modifications to
accommodate MGE and the project. MGE further frustrated the
partnership on this PSC by completely going silent and ignoring
Sonoro’s efforts to move the project forward for almost two years.
Little activity was completed on Selat Panjang over the initial three
year period of the PSC and with only 23 months now remaining in the
original five-year term of the PSC  Sonoro was concerned that even if
an agreement had been reached there was a substantial non-performance
risk on Selat Panjang with SKK Migas and PSC contractual commitments.

In June 2022, Sonoro announced re-engaging with MGE and
a new MOU that had certain work items that would solve legacy issues
and put the project back on track. Over the past couple months MGE has
begun re-completing wells, which expenditures are not included as a
portion of the commitment under the PSC, which without a JOA, Sonoro
is unable to participate in, however Sonoro provided its technical
advice to MGE in good faith.

Discussions between the parties have been happening
over an extended period and now appear to have concluded with no
further resolution in sight to resolve the legacy issue. Sonoro is in
default on a convertible debenture and a loan agreement between Sonoro
and MGE and MGE has a lien against Sonoro’s 25% participating
interest in the project.  MGE has previously proposed a settlement
agreement that will resolve the outstanding issues related to the
default including the foreclosure on the Sonoro’s interest in the
PSC and it transfer to MGE.  Sonoro may excute and deliver the
settlement agreement in the near future, however Sonoro continues to
consider all of its available legal options.

In the interim, the Company is exploring and discussing
specific other opportunities in and outside of Indonesia with third
parties that may progress the Company’s activities in the
hydrocarbon sector.

Mr. David Kirk, President and CEO of the Company has
informed the Board of Directors that he will resign from the Company
subsequent to closure of  the Selat Panjang partnership. The Board of
Director’s appreciates all efforts Mr. Kirk has provided in an
attempt to advance the project to MGE’s satisfaction.
