Wild Mustang gas field

 

The Wild Mustang gas field in central Wyoming, operated by Lost Soldier Oil
and Gas, is an emerging natural-gas development located within the Wild
Mustang Federal Unit in the Bison Basin, a sub-basin of the prolific Green
River Basin north of Rawlins. The project is regarded by the company as one of
the largest natural gas discoveries in the western United States in several
decades, with estimates suggesting resources of around 6 trillion cubic feet
(Tcf) of gas. Exploration drilling-particularly the Green Mountain #4
discovery well and the Found Soldier #1 appraisal well-has confirmed
approximately 3,400 ft of stacked gas-bearing pay zones across multiple
reservoirs, indicating significant vertical and lateral resource potential.
Development is progressing through a phased program that includes additional
drilling, horizontal well planning, and the construction of midstream
infrastructure to bring gas to market.

 

A key step is the installation of a 5.3-mile connector pipeline linking the
field to existing regional pipeline networks capable of transporting roughly
400 MMcf/d, with first commercial gas sales targeted around Q4 2026 depending
on regulatory approvals and infrastructure completion. In parallel, Lost
Soldier has assumed full operational control of the federal unit and is
advancing annual development plans, further drilling campaigns, and studies
for a gas-processing facility, positioning the Wild Mustang project for
gradual scale-up toward large-volume production later in the decade.

 

Strategic Context

 

Through its partnership with Lost Soldier Oil and Gas, Upland has now
increased its exposure to the Wild Mustang Federal Unit in Wyoming, United
States,

 

Upland is the only public listed entity with exposure to the Wild Mustang gas
field, and through exercising of this option will be one of the largest
stakeholders.

 

The option granted to Upland under the Agreement provides a potential increase
of up to $13,800,000 of economic interest.

 

Upland has submitted application to the ("OTCQB") Venture Market in the United
States, currently expects the OTCQB quotation to become effective within
approximately six weeks.

 

The Agreement further supports Upland's strategy, with near-term cashflow in
geopolitically stable jurisdiction, alongside its upstream development
activities in Southeast Asia.

 

The Agreement builds on the Framework Agreement announced on 24 November 2025
and the US$100million Strategic Funding Commitment announced on 23 January
2026, further strengthening the strategic partnership and aligning long-term
capital interests between the parties.

Management Commentary

Bolhassan Di, Chairman and CEO of Upland Resources Limited, commented:

"This agreement further strengthens our strategic partnership with Lost
Soldier and aligns long-term capital interests between the parties.
Importantly, it also demonstrates Lost Soldier's commitment to Upland as the
Companies advance licensing and development initiatives, which are currently
underway across Southeast Asia.

Through our participation with Lost Soldier, Upland provides public market
investors with exposure to the development of the Wild Mustang project in
Wyoming, while retaining the option to increase our economic participation as
the project progresses."
