Multiple Pay Zones Discovered in Successful Drill Program

Exploration Programs

Black Gold Announces Completion of Fritz Well Drill Program

V ANCOUVER, B.C., April 2, 2025 – BGX - Black Gold Exploration Corp. (the “ Company”

or “BGX) (CSE: BGX) (FRE: P30) is pleased to announce that drilling at the Fritz 2-30 oil and

gas well (the “Well”) in Clay County, Indiana, has been completed (the “Drill Program”). BGX

holds a 10% working interest in the Well and an option to participate in any offset developmental

wells drilled within a 210-acre area of mutual interest surrounding the Well (the “AMI”) from

LGX Energy Corp (“LGX”).

MULTIPLE PAY ZONES DISCOVERED

The Drill Program set out to test potential pay zones based on geological features identified by

3D seismic analysis. There were multiple zones with suspected high porosity and LGX has now

confirmed multiple pay zones in the Carper Sand and Devonian formations. All these horizons

are above 1,900 feet of total depth.

“These results confirm the accuracy of our analysis of the 3D seismic and other data we have

compiled. We are very happy with the results of this drill program and believe there continues

to be even more untapped value in this oil field,” commented Howard Crosby, CEO of LGX.

POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL OFFSET WELLS

Through the Drill Program, it was also determined that based on these initial results, there is the

potential for several more offset wells based on this discovery well . This would include

additional Carper Sand wells and multiple Devonian well locations.

“We are thrilled with the results of the Drill Program. Not only did we uncover multiple pay

zones, but we now anticipate the potential for several more offset wells,” stated Francisco

Gulisano, Chief Executive Officer of BGX.

PATH TO PRODUCTION AND CONTINUED GROWTH

The Drill Program showed that the Well can be completed and turned into a producing well

within the next 30 to 60 days. The Company is now working with LGX to complete the Well

and commence extraction. Within the coming weeks, the operator for LGX will perform a swab

test and flow test to assess the Well’s productivity and reservoir characteristics . Based on the

results of these tests, the Company expects to be able to estimate production from the Well and

further details regarding plans for offset wells.

"I am very happy to be able to report to our shareholders that our strategy in the Illinois Basin

has paid off. Not only do we have the potential to start producing cash flow for the Company

as early as next quarter, but it appears the Fritz Well may be just the beginning of a lucrative

partnership with LGX," added Mr. Gulisano.
