Sagd Project	The SAGD Project reached a steady state production level in January and February of 2016 with an average of 615 barrels of oil per day ("bopd"), on a 100% basis (154 bopd net to the Company), with an average SOR of 2.1 from one SAGD well pair. It is expected that a reactivation of the existing SAGD Project facility and current SAGD well pair will be part of the potential commercial expansion along with the previously AER approved second SAGD well pair. In early May of 2016, an amended application was submitted to the AER for an expansion of the existing SAGD Project facility site which would potentially increase the operation for up to a total of eight SAGD well pairs. The amended application sought approval to expand the current SAGD Project facility site to 3,200 bopd (100% basis). It is anticipated that only five SAGD well pairs need to be operating to achieve this production level. The expanded facility will be designed to handle up to 3,200 bopd.
