Wedgemount Wells Test at 840 BOE/D
Executive Summary
While the test results demonstrate the productivity potential of Wedgemount's asset base, the company emphasizes these are short-duration compliance tests that should not be considered indicative of sustained long-term production rates. Management believes production could be significantly higher once wells are optimized through chemical treatments, additional workovers, and improved surface facilities. CEO Mark Vanry indicated the 2026 capital program will focus on high-return, quick-payout development across the company's four Permian Basin operating areas.
The company faces immediate funding challenges, actively seeking additional capital to cover Texas field operations, general overhead costs, and settle accounts payable. Planned capital investments target water handling and surface facility improvements that could enable sustained higher production rates. Despite ongoing oil and gas price volatility, Wedgemount's strategy centers on low-cost well optimizations of existing producing wells to boost both production and reserves.
This update reflects the broader challenges facing junior oil and gas companies in the current market environment, where access to capital remains constrained while operators focus on maximizing returns from existing assets rather than aggressive drilling programs. The company's emphasis on optimization over expansion represents a prudent approach given current market conditions and funding constraints.

Press Release
Wedgemount Wells Test at 840 BOE/D
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, DISSEMINATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, BC – March 10, 2026 – Wedgemount Resources Corp. (CSE: WDGY) (OTCQB: WDGRF) (“Wedgemount” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide the following update on its recent well testing program in west central Texas. During December 2025 and January/February 2026, Wedgemount conducted well tests across its asset base as part of annual compliance procedures for the Texas Railroad Commission. The combined 24hr test results totalled 841 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOE/D”) composed of 80% light oil and condensates and 20% natural gas.
Testing
Testing comprised all the Company’s producing wells. Once optimized with chemical treatments, additional workovers and improved surface facilities, the Company anticipates total production could be significantly higher. “Our 2026 capital program is focused on high-return, quick-payout development across each of Wedgemount’s four Permian Basin operating areas,” stated CEO, Mark Vanry.
Macro Commentary
In spite of continued oil and gas price volatility, Wedgemount will continue to focus on low-cost well optimizations of our current inventory of producing wells to both boost production and add additional reserves.
Funding
Currently Wedgemount is focused on efforts to obtain additional funding in order to cover its Texas field operations, general and overhead costs, settle accounts payable as well as implementation of capital investments. Capital investments are aimed at improving water handling and surface facilities which may allow the Company to produce at higher rates on a sustained basis.
Cautionary Note on Short-Duartion Well Tests
The production rates for the wells are based on a stabilized flow period of 24 hours during compliance testing. While these short-term rates demonstrate encouraging productivity and confirm the prospectivity of the assets base, they are not indicative of recently achieved production results and should not be relied upon as indicative of future long-term average production, estimated ultimate recovery or sustained deliverability.
