Five oil sands leases, description 20,242 gross acres (13,284 net acres) under five oil sands leases were set to expiry on July 10, 2018. In November of 2017, the Company's joint venture partner and operator of two of the five oil sands leases, submitted two continuation applications to the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure division to apply to continue 7,591 gross acres (1,898 net acres) and on January 29, 2018, approval was received from Alberta Energy to continue 6,958 gross acres (1,740 net acres). In June of 2018, the Company as operator of three of these five oil sands leases, submitted three continuation applications to the Alberta Oil Sands Tenure division to apply to continue another 7,591 gross acres (6,832 net acres) where resources were identified. In mid-July 2018, two of the Company's continuation applications received approval from Alberta Energy to continue 5,693 gross acres (5,124 net acres). Subsequently, in mid-April 2019, one more of the Company's continuation applications received final approval from Alberta Energy to continue a total of 1,898 gross acres (1,708 net acres). Subsequently as of mid-April 2019, of these five oil sands leases that were set to expiry on July 10, 2018, a total of 5,693 gross acres (4,713 net acres) expired without being continued. These expired lands were primarily areas where our Company determined that there was no or limited exploitable resources. Subsequently, of these five oil sands leases, 14,549 gross acres (8,571 net acres) have been approved by Alberta Energy to be continued beyond the original expiry date of July 10, 2018. These continued leases have no future expiry dates but are subject to yearly escalating rental payments until they are deemed to be producing leases.  
Three northern oil sands leases, description 19,610 gross acres (17,649 net acres) under three northern oil sands leases are set to expire on August 19, 2019. The Company intends to apply for a term extension on these three northern oil sands leases, however it is not certain if an extension will be granted by Alberta Energy.  
One oil sands lease, description 3,163 gross acres (3,163 net acres) under one oil sands lease are set to expire on April 9, 2024. It is the Company’s opinion that they have already met the governmental requirements for this lease and they will be applying to continue this lease into perpetuity.
