Key Highlights

·      The Group generated revenues from oil and natural gas production
activities of CAD$1,788K (2023 - CAD$13,159K)

·      As of March 31, 2024, inventory consisted of CAD$2,031K (2023 -
CAD$6,448K) in respect of 9,899 barrels of crude oil produced but not yet sold
in Tunisia from the Robbana and El Bibane concessions.

·      The Company sold 159,119 Mcf of natural gas from its Italian
assets, as compared to 177,246 Mcf of natural gas in the previous financial
year.

Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"The Annual Report underlines the very significant damage caused to Zenith and
its shareholders by the actions of the Tunisian authorities.

The Company has applied primary financial and management focus towards
successfully seeking redress for the breaches committed by the Tunisian
authorities in engaging leading legal counsel and wholly shouldering the
financially onerous and prolonged process of pursuing international arbitral
claims.

We look forward with optimism to the outcome of the ICC Arbitration initiated
against ETAP, the national oil company of Tunisia, for non-payment of oi
produced in an amount of approximately US$7.5 million, including accrued
interest for late payment, to be communicated prior to the close of 2024.

A potential positive decision will have a very material beneficial impact on
the Company's future financial position. It will also represent a key
milestone in Zenith's journey as it advances the significantly larger
arbitration claims against the Republic of Tunisia, ICC Arbitration for SLK
and the ICSID Arbitration for breaches of bilateral trade agreements, with
decisions expected in the first quarter of 2025 and in 2026 respectively.

I am pleased to also confirm that the Company continues with unabated energy
to pursue its claim against SMP Energies in the Paris Commercial Court, as
well as being in the process of engaging legal counsel to obtain the repayment
of the approximately US$5.3 million owed to AAOGC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Zenith in the Republic of the Congo.

Energy production activities have continued profitably in Italy and without
interruption, the reduced revenue during the 2024 financial year being a
result of the decline in electricity and gas prices.

The Company continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities to produce oil,
gas and electricity.

We shall shortly provide further information on our growth strategy, including
the conditional acquisition of Devonian Petroleum Limited announced to the
market in December of 2023, as well as the future activities of Leopard
Energy, Inc, a US listed company purchased by Zenith to build an oil and gas
production portfolio in the USA."
