Disclaimer | General Advisory This presentation includes information that constitutes “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements”. More particularly, this presentation contains statements concerning expectations regarding the successful implementation of drilling activities on assets which have recently been acquired by ROK Resources Inc. (“ROK” or the “Company”), cash flow, business strategy, priorities and plans, expected production, the evaluation of certain prospects in which ROK holds an interest following the completion of such acquisition, estimated number of drilling locations, expected capital program (including its allocation), production growth, reserves growth, the receipt of and the timing of receipt of environmental licenses, the ability of ROK to transport and sell its crude volume and other statements, expectations, beliefs, goals, objectives, assumptions and information about possible future events, conditions, results of operations or performance. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur, which may cause actual performance and results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Business priorities disclosed herein are objectives only and their achievement cannot be guaranteed. Indicative capital spending, drilling and production estimates for 2020 and beyond, which are provided herein, are subject to change Material risk factors include, but are not limited to: the inability to obtain regulatory approval for any operational activities, the risks of the oil and gas industry in general, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas, market demand and unpredictable shortages of equipment and/or labour; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; fluctuations in oil and gas prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and reliance on industry partners and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of ROK. You can find an additional discussion of those assumptions, risks and uncertainties in ROK’s securities filings on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Neither ROK nor any of its officers, directors or employees guarantees that the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements are free from errors nor do any of the foregoing accept any responsibility for the future accuracy of the opinions expressed in this document or the actual occurrence of the forecasted developments. Readers should also note that even if the drilling program as proposed by ROK is successful, there are many factors that could result in production levels being less than anticipated or targeted, including without limitation, greater than anticipated declines in existing production due to poor reservoir performance, mechanical failures or inability to access production facilities, among other factors. Statements relating to “reserves” are deemed to be forward-looking statements or information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described can be profitable in the future. Estimated values of future net revenue disclosed do not necessarily represent fair market value. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves, including many factors beyond the control of ROK. The reserve data included herein represents estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. All such estimates are to some degree speculative and classifications of reserves are only attempts to define the degree of speculation involved. The assumptions relating to ROK reserves on a stand-alone basis are as per management and based on assumptions contained in the report of GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. for the Glen Ewen Property acquired by ROK and dated June 23, 2020 and effective March 31, 2020 and the report of Sproule Associates Limited for the Florence Property acquired by ROK as of August 31, 2021. The Assumptions relating to the February 2022 acquired assets are based on assumptions contained in the report of McDaniels Consultants Associates Ltd. effective October 31, 2021. Throughout this presentation, the calculation of barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) is at a conversion rate of 6,000 cubic feet (“cf”) of natural gas for one barrel of oil and is based on an energy equivalence conversion method. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6,000 cf: 1 barrel is based on an energy equivalence conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalence at the wellhead. For the purposes of the following, “Misrepresentation” means an untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated, or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. If this presentation contains a Misrepresentation, a purchaser in Ontario who purchases securities of ROK has, without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the Misrepresentation, a statutory right of action for rescission or, alternatively, for damages against ROK, provided that no action shall be commenced to enforce a right of action more than (a) in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action, or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. ROK will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the Misrepresentation. In an action for damages, ROK will not be liable for all or any portion of those damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the Misrepresentation. In no case will the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the securities were sold to the purchaser.

ROK’s capital budget has been prepared based upon anticipated costs for equipment and services which are subject to fluctuation based upon market conditions, availability and potential changes or delays in capital expenditures. Additionally, forecast capital expenditures do not include capital required to pursue future acquisitions. Anticipated production growth has been estimated based on (i) the proposed drilling program with a success rate based upon historical drilling success and an evaluation of the particular wells to be drilled and has been risked, and (ii) current production and anticipated decline rates. Although the forward- looking information contained herein is based upon assumptions which Management believes to be reasonable, ROK cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with this forward-looking information. Data obtained from the initial testing results, including barrels of oil produced and levels of water-cut, should be considered to be preliminary until a further and detailed analysis or interpretation has been done on such data. The well test results obtained and disclosed are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. The reader is cautioned not to unduly rely on such results as such results may not be indicative of future performance of the well or of expected production results for the Company in the future. 25 TSX.V: ROK
