MARKSMEN ANNOUNCES LETTER AGREEMENT WITH OHIO OIL AND GAS COMPANY
CALGARY, ALBERTA, September 12, 2019 - Marksmen Energy Inc. ("Marksmen" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into a Letter Agreement with a private oil and as company ("Third Party") in Ohio, USA to plug back and recomplete up to 40 Rose Run formation wells in the by-passed Clinton Sandstone formation. Additionally, the Third Party agrees to grant Marksmen a right of first refusal (ROFR) to the end of December 2020 to participate in the drilling of horizontal Clinton Sandstone well(s) and vertical Rose Run wells. These wells are located in Portage County, Ohio on lands owned by the Third Party in the very well-established East Canton oilfield.
To begin the recompletion part of the program, the Third Party has provided a list of the first eight prospective wells and Marksmen has chosen the first four wells to begin the program. Marksmen will be the operator in charge of the recompletion work. After each recompletion of a well in the Clinton Sandstone formation Marksmen will have up to 30 days to begin work on the next recompletion well. Marksmen also has the right to terminate the drilling of additional wells at any time.
The target recompletion zone is the Clinton Sandstone formation (approximate depth of 4,500 feet) that was by-passed during the drilling of numerous Rose Run formation wells (approximate depth of 7,500 feet). Marksmen's professional team in Ohio has analysed analogous well data as provided by the Third Party as well as public well records from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and has determined that there are up to 40 wells which are candidates for re-completion.
The production from the Clinton Sandstone consists of Pennsylvania grade, light sweet crude, approximately 37API as well as some natural gas. All necessary surface equipment including pumpjacks, oil storage tanks, gas delivery lines, as well as downhole pumps, rods and tubing are in place at each well location.
Each recompletion is expected to cost approximately $100,000 USD and will take approximately two weeks to complete. The recompletion will consist of plugging back the existing Rose Run formation followed by perforating and hydraulically fracturing of the Clinton Sandstone formation (up to 90 feet thick).
The working interest split of each well will be 80% Marksmen and 20% Third Party until such time as 125% of all capital expenditures ("payout") has been achieved by Marksmen. At that time, the working interest split will change to 55% Marksmen and 45% to the Third Party for the remaining economic life of each well.
Marksmen has determined that it will likely receive West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil pricing less a small discount and natural gas at prevailing spot market prices in that region of Ohio. Royalties are estimated in the 12.5% to 15% range of revenue depending on agreements in each well.
Marksmen and the Third Party agree that they will conclude a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) within thirty days from September 11, 2019 to detail the terms and conditions outlined in the Letter Agreement.

Here is some news from June: Marksmen Announces First Closing of Private Placement and Issuance of Debenture
CALGARY, Alberta, June 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marksmen Energy Inc. (“Marksmen” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: MAH) (OTCQB: MKSEF) announces that it has completed the first closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the “Units”) of Marksmen (the “Offering”). The Company issued 5,900,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $295,000. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share (“Common Share”) and one-half of one (1/2) share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) of Marksmen. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per share expiring two (2) years from the date of issuance. The Company intends to complete a second closing of the Offering on or prior to July 15, 2019.
Marksmen did not pay any commissions pursuant to the first closing of the Offering.
Marksmen intends to use the net proceeds from this first closing of the Offering to pay costs related to the Leaman #1 horizontal well of $100,000 for completion/equipping and $70,000 for on-going production testing; $40,000 to establish a Leaman area water injection facility which will be utilized for water injection for the Leaman #1well, as well as for additional horizontal wells drilled in the Company's area of mutual interest with its joint venture partners; capital costs of $50,000 related to well production restoration at the Company's Pickaway County Ohio Cambrian Knox formation oil wells; and the remaining $35,000 as working capital to support light oil exploration activities in Ohio.
Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSXV. The securities issued are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.
Related Party Participation in the Private Placement
Insiders subscribed for an aggregate of 2,400,000 Units in the first closing of the Offering for a total of 40.68% of the first closing. As insiders of Marksmen participated in this Offering, it is deemed to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101-Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
Neither the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company after reasonable inquiry, a related party, has knowledge of any material information concerning the Company or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.
The Offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(b)) as it was a distribution of securities for cash and neither the fair market value of the Units distributed to, nor the consideration received from, interested parties exceeded $2,500,000.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering because the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Offering and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
Issuance of Debenture
The Company also announces that, further to its press release of June 14, 2019, it has issued a non-convertible secured debenture ("Debenture") for gross proceeds of $1,250,000 and issued 1,800,000 share purchase warrants of the Company (the "Debenture Warrants"). Each whole Debenture Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share for $0.10 per share expiring on December 31, 2020. The Debenture was issued to replace the outstanding $1,250,000 debenture which expires December 31, 2019, shall bear interest at 12% per annum and shall mature on December 31, 2020. The terms of the Debenture, other than the maturity date, are the same as the debenture that is being replaced.
The Debenture and Debenture Warrants were issued to a company controlled by Mr. Glenn Walsh, an insider of Marksmen. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. The securities issued are subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance.
