“strategy”, “potenAal”, “projects”, “grow”, “take advantage”, “esAmate”, “well posiAoned” or similar words suggesAng future
strategies and compeAAve advantages. The forward‑looking statements regarding the Company are based on certain key expectaAons and assumpAons of the Company concerning anAcipated financial performance, business prospects, strategies, the sufficiency of budgeted capital expenditures in carrying out planned acAviAes, the availability and cost of labour and services and the ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, all of which are subject to change based on market condiAons and potenAal Aming delays. Although management of the Company consider these assumpAons to be reasonable based on informaAon currently available to them, they may prove to be incorrect. By their very nature, forward‑looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainAes (both general and specific) and risks that forward‑looking statements will not be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward‑looking statements, as a number
anAcipaAons, esAmates and intenAons expressed in the forward‑looking statements, including among other things: inability to meet current and future obligaAons; inability to implement the Company’s business strategy effecAvely in Canada, Mexico and the United States; inability of the Company to conAnue meet the lisAng requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange; general economic and market factors, including business compeAAon, changes in government regulaAons; access to capital markets; interest and currency exchange rates; technological developments; general poliAcal and social uncertainAes; lack of insurance; delay or failure to receive board or regulatory approvals; changes in legislaAon; Aming and availability of external financing on acceptable terms; and lack of qualified, skilled labour or loss of key individuals. Readers are cauAoned that the foregoing list is not exhausAve. The forward‑looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified in their enArety by this cauAonary statement.

The Opportunity
installed late 2015 / early 2016
Increases in direcAonal drilling, and horizontal wells in parAcular, have created new challenges:
eventual failure of the rods and occasionally the producAon tubing;
CriFcal points
result in excessive wear and eventual failure of rod strings.
The Linear Pump:
ü No immediate compeAAon for this technology ü ReciprocaAng pump is a modified industry standard rod-pump ü Powered by permanent magnet motor - magnets lose only 1% of magneAsm over 10 year period ü No external moving parts; everything moves internally in the Pump housing ü 2nd GeneraAon Pump improved with 25% more power & 50% less fric'on than prototypes ü Ideal for light oil, shallow horizontal wells - can be set inside the horizontal secAon in a well
The Linear Pump effec'vely:
ü Eliminates surface liZing equipment (pump jack) Smaller footprint means reduced construcAon costs, lower environmental impact, and lower impact on farming and ranching. ü Eliminates sucker rods Worn and broken sucker rods can cost clients up to $153,000(2) annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures. ü Eliminates leaking wellheads Wellheads typically leak oil at the ‘stuffing box’ (the seal around the sucker rod). This is a chronic environmental issue with pump jack

APPENDICES
1. The Linear Pump uses a modified industry standard reciprocaAng pump currently used with pump jacks, known as a rod pump. The pump is driven by an electromagneAc motor that uses permanent magnets to create thrust to move the shaT of the motor in a reciprocaAng, or linear, moAon. Permanent magnets maintain their strength almost indefinitely, losing approximately 1% of their strength every 10 years. 2. Gross Margins improved to 30% from 23% in the nine months ended in 2015 and 2014 respecAvely. 3. Annual Rod Pump Cost AssumpAons:
Current Technology Drawbacks Linear Pump Benefits
Surface liTing equipment (Pump Jack) has a high capital cost and requires a large footprint The submersible pump has a lower capital cost, reduces construcAon costs due to no surface liTing equipment Rod strings in deviated and horizontal wells cause excessive wear due to rubbing against the tubing No external moving parts means that the Linear Pump can be placed in deviated and horizontal wells as easily as verAcal wells Rods strings wear from the 3,000,000 annual up/ down cycles, which can cost up to $153,000(3) annually to maintain, including the oil not being produced during failures No rod string, no external moving parts. Everything moves internally in the Pump housing Mechanical inefficiencies and variable power draw can lead to high electricity costs Permanent magnet motors run on low Amps with no mechanical gears to reduce efficiency Leaking wellheads around the rod (from the “stuffing box”) is common Seal not an issue - no moving parts exit the wellhead
* The Pumpjack was invented in 1925 by Walter Trout, an employee of Luxin Foundry and MachineElectro-Magne'c Submersible Pump (The Pump) Permanent magnet motor technology. ReciprocaAng pump (similar to rod pumps). Ideally suited for deviated and horizontal oil wells. An alternaAve to convenAonal pump jack installaAons. Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) ConvenAonal pump technology. RotaAng pump with mulAple impellers. Pumps moderate to high volumes of fluids. 24 m3/d (150 bbl/d) to 24,600 m3/d (150,000 bbl/d). Electric Submersible Progressing Cavity Pump Also called screw or Moineau pumps. Heavy oil, high sand producAon, gassy wells. Now deployed as a submersible pump system. Eliminates surface motors and costly rod string wear.
