New Zealand Energy Corp Announces 2025 Quarter 1 Results
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - New Zealand Energy Corp. (TSXV: NZ) ("NZEC" or the "Company") announced today it has filed with Canadian regulatory authorities its Q1 2025 consolidated financial results and an accompanying management discussion and analysis report, which documents are available on the Company's website at and on SEDAR at Commenting on the Company's first quarter 2025 results, CEO Mike Adams said "The results saw a total comprehensive loss of $994,550. (2024: loss of $914,919). There was a $965,615 decrease in cash held ($155,930 was held at the end of the quarter). Cash used in operating activities for the quarter was $665,681 (2024: used $397,608)." With respect to development operations, Mr Adams commented: "New Zealand Energy Corp. (NZEC) shifted its primary focus to the Tariki Gas Field conversion project in Q1 2025. The decline in gas rate at the Tariki-5A well in January prompted an immediate change in priorities. In the short term, NZEC has been restoring accessible Waihapa-Ngaere wells to production. By the end of Q1, four wells were added back into production, with two more expected by the end of Q2, aiming for rates of ~50 to 80 bopd (NZEC share 25 to 40 bopd). Additionally, two Copper Moki workovers in June 2025 are expected to add ~200 bopd (NZEC share) and 0.2 mmscf/d of associated gas, enabling gas sales to market from late June 2025 via the Cheal Production Station. Along with the Q1 and Q2 2025 production activities, aimed at restoring positive cash flow, the focus is the Tariki Gas Storage development. Reservoir studies have commenced, with initial recommendations expected in mid-June 2025. Detailed project deliverables will be available in early August 2025, defining gas storage capacity, cushion gas requirements, and long-term storage behaviours. In parallel, NZEC has started storage facility development concept studies and is in commercial discussions with potential gas storage customers. With this work in progress, NZEC is well-positioned to advance the Tariki Gas Storage project to the Final Investment Decision (FID) stage within the next 12 months, and then to prioritise opportunities within its remaining existing acreage." On behalf of the Board of Directors "Mike Adams" CEO New Zealand Energy Contacts Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

New Zealand Energy Corp Announces 2024 Quarter 4 Results
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - New Zealand Energy Corp. (TSXV: NZ) ("NZEC" or the "Company") announced today it has filed with Canadian regulatory authorities its Q4 2024 consolidated financial results and an accompanying management discussion and analysis report, which documents are available on the Company's website at and on SEDAR at Commenting on the Company's 2024 end of year results, CEO Michael said "The results saw a loss of $8,179,276 (compared to the 2023 loss of $2,075,929) which included significant non-cash expenses including depreciation and depletion. Overall, there was a $3,568 increase in cash at year end and $1,131,605 was held as at 31 December 2024. Cash used by operating activities was ($1,962,125), compared to 2023 of $1,404,159 of cash used by operations. The Company achieved average net daily production of 17 boe/d (98% oil) through 2024 compared to 27 boe/d (99% oil) during 2023. Waihapa/Ngaere production was curtailed through Q4 2024 while the Tariki-5/5A well was being drilled and tested, and there was no oil production from Copper Moki through the whole year. With respect to development operations, Mr Adams commented: "In the final quarter of 2024, the Tariki-5A gas development and storage well was successfully drilled, confirming the anticipated excellent reservoir quality, and the initial flow test results were very encouraging. However, since February 2025, the well has faced challenges in maintaining continuous flow due to liquid loading in the 3.5" completion, which was initially optimized for gas storage operations. This issue has led to an earlier focus on converting the field to gas storage operations than originally planned, and work on this conversion is currently underway. The Copper Moki-1 and -2 wells have been out of service since 2022 and 2023, respectively, due to pump failures. Plans to work over these wells in the second quarter of 2025 are progressing as scheduled, with the RIVAL rig set to arrive at the location in early June 2025. This joint project with Monumental Energy Corp. (MNRG) has the potential to add more than 200 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and associated gas to the company's production by the end of Q2 2025. At the Waihapa-Ngaere oil field, efforts are in progress to bring several wells back into continuous production service. This work involves a combination of surface and sub-surface low-cost interventions and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. The company anticipates that this will result in a further uplift in oil production of 25 to 40 bopd (100% share). With these production redevelopments in place, New Zealand Energy Corp. (NZEC) will be well-positioned to advance the Tariki Gas Storage project through to the Final Investment Decision (FID) stage. Following that, the company will continue with the appraisal and exploration of opportunities within the acreage it already holds."

Monumental Energy Announces Commencement of Copper Moki Workovers in New Zealand
Article content VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Monumental Energy Corp. (' Monumental ' or the ' Company ') (TSX-V: MNRG; FSE: ZA6; OTCQB: MNMRF) is pleased to announce that workover operations have commenced at the Copper Moki-1 and Copper Moki-2 wells, located in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. Article content Article content The workover program being carried out in conjunction with the Company's partner, New Zealand Energy Corp., involves re-entering both wells to perform downhole cleanouts, replace tubing and rods, and perforate the Mt. Messenger formation. The objective is to restore production from the Mt. Messenger sands and resolve known flow restrictions identified in previous operations. Article content Additionally, the wells have never undergone a full tubing replacement or sand cleanout, providing Monumental with the opportunity to perforate an unproduced zone. Having remained idle for 18 months, the wells also present potential for a significant flush production increase, further enhanced by the planned perforation of an additional 5-metre interval in the Mt. Messenger formation. Article content The well, drilled to a depth of 2,220-metres with 7' casing set at 2,214-metres, will be re-entered to retrieve approximately 600-metres of parted sucker rods and remove wax and sand buildup. A 5-metre interval of the Mt. Messenger formation, located at approximately 1,587 metres, will be perforated to access untapped hydrocarbon zones. New tubing, a tubing anchor, and a complete pump string will be installed to optimize production efficiency. The well will be fully equipped with a pump and rod system, after which flow testing will be conducted in preparation for a return to production. Article content Copper Moki-2 Workover Highlights: Article content The 2,084-metre well will undergo similar operations to Copper Moki-1, including a full tubing replacement and comprehensive well cleanout. A new pump and rod system will be installed to enable production from the newly perforated zone. As with Copper Moki-1, well pressure is several hundred psi below hydrostatic, suggesting favourable conditions for drawdown and early production. Article content Max Sali, Vice President of Corporate Development and Director, commented: 'These workovers represent a meaningful step toward monetizing the Taranaki Basin assets. With infrastructure in place, we are well-positioned to restore production and potentially generate early cash flow to support Monumental's broader strategic objectives. We are also pleased to have a newly upgraded rig on site, which is now fully operational and will enable the expedited execution of future projects.' Article content Field operations are expected to be completed in the coming weeks, with initial production results anticipated shortly thereafter. To date, the program remains under budget; Monumental does not anticipate any further expenditures until the workover is complete and flush production begins. Total spending to date is approximately NZD $560,000 (CAD $460,000). Article content About Monumental Energy Corp.

The Company owns securities of New Zealand Energy Corp. and entered into a call option and royalty agreement on the Copper Moki wells with New Zealand Energy Corp.
