Business Summary

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

Environmental and Economic Interests Protected The Problem Uneconomic & Not Environmental The Solution Bitcoin Mining Pilot Project; Complete Mining Contract Revenue $2.01 Million

CryptoGaz is on a mission to help the oil industry reduce routine flaring of natural gas. We are passionate about creating solutions that benefit the environment, local communities and energy

  • producers. Our goal is to decrease the uneconomic and anti-environmental flaring and venting of

the natural gas and see the natural gas utilized for a purpose. Our company will use that natural gas to generate electric power at the well site and “mine” for crypto-currency (i.e. Bitcoin) using that electricity.

  • It is uneconomic to produce natural gas at current prices.
  • Provincial regulations often requiring the conservation (sale) of natural gas or the shut-in of the

well.

  • Shutting-in a well exposes the oil and gas company to provincially regulated environmental
  • bligations.
  • On some occasions oil and gas companies are permitted to flare their gas production—releasing

green-house gases into the environment.

  • CryptoGaz constructs power generators and Bitcoin miner operations on the well site. Thereby

turning an un-useable product (natural gas) into a valuable product (Bitcoins).

  • CryptoGaz provides oil and gas companies with a fast, low cost and simple solution to natural gas

flaring or uneconomic natural gas production. Our service lets operators preserve or regain regulatory compliance, maintain existing production and facilitate future development. In turn through our use of the natural gas we are able to generate returns by “mining” for crypto currencies.

  • CryptoGaz has completed its pilot project for a capital cost of $29,888. It has “mined”

CAD$17,954 worth of Bitcoin from one Natural Gas well over 60 days. Total forecast 12 month revenues from CryptoGaz’s current contracts is $2.01 million and EBITDA

  • f $852,907.

Natural Gas Crisis

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd. 7

How precarious is the state of Alberta’s natural gas industry these days?

Just take a look at the City of Medicine Hat, proudly known as the Gas City, which has owned its own petroleum production arm for more than a century. Today, it’s producing about 6,500 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day from shallow natural gas and oil fields in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The average cost of its gas production is about $2.78 per thousand cubic feet (mcf). The spot price for gas at the AECO hub closed Thursday at 80 cents per mcf, about $2 below U.S. benchmark prices. You don’t need a sophisticated computer model to understand this gap means the city-owned utility has been hemorrhaging money. Facing such economics — and an expected cash loss of $35 million this year from its natural gas and petroleum resources division — the city is throwing in the towel on the lion’s share of its producing gas wells. Medicine Hat officials announced Wednesday the division will abandon more than 2,000 of its 2,600 active wells over the next three years and accelerate abandonment and remediation work. The city’s natural gas and petroleum resources division will eventually shrink from about 105 field and office employees to around 25 to 40 staff, although some may be redeployed by the city. The decision wasn’t made lightly, said Brad Maynes, the city’s commissioner of energy and utilities. “We are very proud of our gas history and our legacy . . . The city has benefited so much from gas over the years,” Maynes said in an interview. “We said to our residents, you should be very, very proud of this history, but we have to evolve to a new reality.” Natural gas has long provided energy, created jobs and generated wealth in Medicine Hat. Its petroleum assets have contributed more than $600 million to Medicine Hat’s treasury

  • ver the past four decades, the city said.

But part of the industry is facing a fiery test these days. Following the failure of Trident Exploration Corp. last April, Medicine Hat’s decision should serve as a wake-up call to the acute issues facing the sector, particularly shallow gas producers. By the time the 2,000 wells are abandoned, the city unit’s total production is expected to fall to about 2,500 boe per day, only a quarter of the level seen four years ago. “We have been producing for over 100 years and we’ve had a great experience in the gas business, but the last three, four, five years have been very difficult for us,” said Maynes. “We could just not see ourselves returning to profitability.” The decision comes as larger trends are swirling about the

  • industry. With the shale gas revolution in the United States

in the past decade, production in North America continues to rise. On Thursday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported natural gas production south of the border set a new monthly record in August of more than 91 billion cubic feet per day, up eight per cent from a year ago. Production has risen even as benchmark U.S. gas prices have dropped this summer, averaging US$2.37 per million British thermal units in July. In Canada, development of the massive Montney natural gas and liquids formation has also had an effect, bringing on large supplies of low-cost production. (Continued)

Natural Gas Crisis

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd. 8

With pipeline constraints and seasonal maintenance issues on the Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) system, Alberta gas prices at the AECO hub have been volatile in recent years, even dropping briefly into negative territory. Industry veteran Hal Kvisle, who chaired the province’s natural gas advisory committee last year, said the situation in Medicine Hat underscores the fact shallow gas wells are challenged in today’s environment. “It’s also symbolic, in a way, of the bigger issue of mature, lower productivity gas producers trying to compete in a world where shale gas is swamping the system,” he said. Some producers have responded by shutting in production or abandoning wells. A report by Peters & Co. estimated natural gas production from Western Canada will fall this year for the first time in seven years. While gas prices in Alberta have been improving recently, they are still below the break-even point for Medicine Hat. Analyst Jeremy McCrea of Raymond James expects AECO gas prices will average $1.80 per thousand cubic feet in the fourth quarter — as the winter weather kicks in — and then $1.50 per mcf next year. Phil Hodge, CEO of Pine Cliff Energy, said all these changes are constructive, and the pricing outlook for AECO gas has been strengthening in recent weeks. “There is hopefully some sunlight on the horizon, but it’s still tough sledding,” Hodge said. “As we saw by the announcement in Medicine Hat, it may be too little too late (for some). There are a lot of companies struggling at current prices and each one is different . . . but if they’re losing money, they are only going to be able to do that for so long.” For Medicine Hat, three years of low prices and big losses were too much to ignore. It’s still Gas City, but unless something changes dramatically, it’s going to be producing a lot less gas in the coming years. Chris Varcoe is a Calgary Herald columnist.

Bitcoin Mining and Value

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

Bitcoin Mining Returns: The average return for each THash/s

generated by Bitcoin miners over the last 60 days is US$0.288. The mining return has been stable for over one year.

Future Bitcoin Price of US$20,000 is in correlation with previous Bitcoin pricing: As stated by Canaccord the

Bitcoin price action from 2011-2015 continues to provide a reasonably good road map for 2015-2019. This framework suggests a long-term recovery beginning in the April to May time frame, followed by a very slow climb back to old heights in March 2021”.

Bitcoin three fold increase in value in 2019: Bitcoin’s

value on December 31, 2018 was US$3,804. Its value on August 15, 2019 was $10,335.

Bitcoin is likely going to further increase in value:

Cannaccord Genuity stated in its spring 2019 Blockchain report that “we note that Bitcoin does operate on a four year cycle of sorts, as the halving of bitcoin’s mining reward occurs approximate every four years.…Looking ahead if Bitcoin were to continue following the same trend,, the implication is a slow climb back toward its all-time high of $20,000, theoretically reaching that level in March 2021”.

Competitive Advantage

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

  • RETURN PER THash/s = Between US$0.25 and US$0.35 (Bitcoin miners earn money based on their “hashes” (think of a Hash being

a search for a coin) a Tera Hash (THash) is 1,000,000,000,000 Hashes). Currently the return is between US$0.25 to US$0.35 per

  • THash. To determine the return please visit the following website: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator
  • S9 Miners: Our Miners (S9 Miners) produce 13.5 THashes per second (“TH/s”). Therefore, given the above metrics they create

revenue of CAD$145/month. They use 1.35 kW/h power. CryptoGaz’s pilot project confirms same.

  • Return per Day of one S9 Miner: Given current Hashing rates and Bitcoin difficulty the S9 Miner will earn CAD$145/month.
  • Our Competitive Advantage: The largest cost in the operating of a Bitcoin miner is the electric power it requires.

CryptoGaz will not face this cost. Currently a miner using electric power will have a return as follows:

Crypto Currency And Mining

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

What Is Cryptocurrency? What is Mining for Crypto Currencies What Is A “Miner’ Barriers to Entry

  • Knowledge
  • Cheap Power
  • Facilities
  • A miner is similar in size and shape as your desk computer.
  • The miner is the key to Crypto mining. Its power to mine and the electric power it uses are

the key variables.

  • New more efficient miners enter the market on a regular basis, making older miners less

efficient and available at a reduced price. As discussed below, the old miners are inefficient based on the electric power they use. CryptoGaz will not have an electric concern, so the old miners do not materially impact their performance.

  • Given the available cash flow and the capital cost to equip a 50 mcf/d well ($68,500), cash

flow can be used to add revenue.

  • Electric power at a low cost: Under the CryptoGaz model electric power is essentially free.
  • Facilities: CryptoGaz has developed sea cans to contain their miners and which are placed on

well sites for a small ($3,000/yr.) rent. Miner’s generate heat. Canada (with its climate) solves much of that problem.

  • Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security.

Cryptocurrency is difficult to counterfeit because of this security feature. Many cryptocurrencies are decentralized systems based on block chain technology, a distributed ledger enforced by a disparate network of computers. A defining feature of a cryptocurrency, and arguably its biggest allure, is its organic nature; it is not issued by any central authority, rendering it theoretically immune to government interference or

  • manipulation. The first block chain based cryptocurrency was Bitcoin, which still remains the

most popular and most valuable. Today, there are thousands of alternate cryptocurrencies with various functions or specifications.

  • Crypto mining is a validation of transactions within cryptocurrency networks. For this effort,

successful miners receive a reward in the cryptocurrency being mined. The rewards are directly related to the number of other miners operating.

  • The largest cost to mining is the electric power each miner uses.

23

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Why Bitcoin

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

Bitcoin market capitalization is US$184,607,136,486 Minimal Mining Pool Costs: To mine for

Bitcoin we join a mining “pool”. The Bitcoin mining pool

  • nly charges us 1% of our earnings.

Minimal Currency Conversion Costs: There is a small fee to convert Bitcoin to US

  • dollars. This fee is only 0.5% of the amount to be

converted.

Preference for Mine for Bitcoin:

Although there are numerous cryptocurrency created, we have elected to mine for Bitcoin. This was largely because it appears to be the stable most utilized crypto-currency. Our mining can shift to mine for any

  • ther currency at any time. As a result, if the Facebook

cryptocurrency begins to take on more transactions we can shift to it.

Natural Gas – Not Economic

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

Alberta Energy Regulator Natural Gas Price Forecast does not see gas price exceeding $2.50 until 2022. Current Alberta Natural Gas Price (AECO Price): MINUS $0.10 per mcf Alberta Gas Price has been low and uneconomic for years. At a price below $2.50/mcf natural producers are losing money: A low case cost estimate for each mcf produced is:

Processing and Transportation: $1.22/mcf Compression (if required): $0.70/mcf Operating and Land Costs: 0.50/mcf Royalties: $0.18/mcf Total: $2.60 The above does not include any capital costs associated with bringing the gas to market (such as building pipelines to the Gas plant).

SLIDE 28

Natural Gas: Industry Requirements to Produce

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

Environmental Liabilities Need to Produce Natural Gas Natural Gas wells by regulation are required to incur a $55,000 loss The Alberta regulations have strict requirements as to when gas can be flared (or not conserved): Directive 60 requires

and gas over 32 mcf/d by conserved unless strict requirements are met. A well of over 106 mcf/d must be conserved.

Large Capital Cost to Conserve Natural Gas

  • Natural Gas is an usual commodity to come with any oil well. That is, it is not uncommon to

find an oil well that also produces natural gas. It is not rare to find 1/3 of the production from a well being natural gas.

  • In order to conserve natural gas, unlike oil (which can be trucked to the sales location),

Natural Gas requires a pipeline to the sales location. That pipeline may have to travel a great distance. The cost to build a pipeline is usually approximately $45,000/km.

  • An oil and gas producer is subject to strict requirements to maintain an environmental asset

ratio above 1. A shut-in well, reduces that ratio. Our system avoids having to shut-in the well. 2.6 General Conservation Requirements at all Condensate Producing Sites and Crude Oil and Crude Bitumen Batteries These requirements apply to all condensate producing sites and crude oil and crude bitumen batteries unless otherwise specified.

1) The licensee or operator must conserve solution gas at all sites where a) The combined flaring and venting volume od greater than 900m/day per site and decision

tree process and economic evaluation (see section 2.8) result in a net present value (NPV) greater than Cdn$55,00;

b) The gas: oil ratio (GOR) is greater than 3000m3/m3. All wells producing with a GOR

greater than 3000m3/m3 at any time during the life of the well must be shut in until the gas is conserved;

c) Flared or incinerated volumes are greater than 900m3/day per site and the flare or

incinerator is within 500 m of a residence, regardless of economics; or

d) The AER directs the licensee, operator, or approval holder to conserve solution gas,

regardless of economics.

Solution for the Gas Producer Problem

CryptoGaz Ventures Ltd.

Natural Gas Producers Negative Returns Choices for Oil & Gas Producer Large Solution for Small Production

  • At a price below $2.60/mcf natural gas producers are losing money. A low case cost

estimate (not including the capital costs) to produce natural gas is as follows:

  • Processing and Transportation: $1.22/mcf
  • Compression: $0.70/mcf
  • Operating and Land Costs: $0.50/mcf
  • Royalties (7%): $0.18/mcf
  • TOTAL COSTS: $2.60/mcfWe have developed various models to meet the goals of

the gas producer.

  • Our Bitcoin mining operation is set-up at the well site. Avoiding the capital costs of taking

the gas production to market and avoiding the processing and transportation fees associated with the natural gas.

  • For a straight gas well, we will pay the costs to operate the well, including the land

lease costs, the insurance costs, and the operating costs. These costs normally are in the $10,000/yr range. Essentially the goal is make the producer break-even and remove the environmental exposure.

  • For an oil well where the producer will receive oil revenue but to get that revenue

it needs to find a solution for its natural gas, we provide two options (1) our taking the gas and all capital costs for the mining the operation; or (2) a joint venture which sees the oil company receive a portion of the mining income in exchange for it taking

  • n

an equivalent portion

  • f

the mining capital costs.

  • Pursuant to the Alberta Utilities Commission electric generation of less than 1 mWh requires

very little approvals. Electric generation over 1 mWh requires substantial time consuming

  • approvals. As such, our initial focus is on projects of less than 1 mWh.
