Garth Johnson, CEO of Pulse Oil Corp. stated "We want to thank Dev, Ross, William and Greg for all the effort they have invested in closing this transaction, and we look forward to working with all of them as long-term valued shareholders of Pulse. We are excited about the future for our shareholders, as the timing of this venture coincides with continued commodity price strengthening and a perceptible uptick in industry excitement. Drew and I, our small team and shareholder group, started HRC to investigate exploration opportunities around the world. As commodity prices dropped, we recognized an opportunity to acquire small to medium sized proven reserves at discounted prices. We created an acquisition-based business plan to focus on these assets in Western Canada; looking for solid, proven reserves and production as well as low-risk, yet substantial, upside. After a long search, we acquired our first interests in a package of producing assets in the Bigoray area of central Alberta, which we feel, have significant low-risk enhanced oil recovery upside. We have continued to keep our finger on the "Pulse" of acquisition opportunities; continually reviewing all potential transactions that fit within our criteria for investment. We expect to complete additional acquisitions throughout the year, building Pulse into an even stronger, reserve-backed, low-risk producer. We look forward to sharing with our shareholders the opportunity for growth, utilizing our teams deal making ability and proven operational experience."

Drew Cadenhead, President and COO of Pulse Oil Corp. stated "We spent considerable effort evaluating potential acquisition opportunities before closing our first acquisition. Our 50% interest in the Bigoray assets is centered within the conventional, multi-zone light-oil, liquids-rich Pembina/Bigoray trend of Central Alberta. We are initially partnering with an experienced operator to restart and optimize existing proven production that has been shut-in for years due to low commodity prices These re-activations will provide immediate positive cash flow as we begin to grow Pulse. Once full primary production has been re-established at Bigoray, we have the option to expand our interest in these assets to 100%, including the associated infrastructure. The enhanced oil recovery project associated with the Bigoray Nisku assets caught our attention as a low-risk path to creating significant potential value; converting original oil in place to proven producing reserves and associated NPV forms a platform for kick-starting Pulse's growth. More data and videos of are available on these assets at Pulse's website at www.pulseoilcorp.com".
