or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; TSX.V: ZEE) the dual listed

1. ZENITH FILES YEAR-END INDEPENDENT RESERVES EVALUATION
Zenith has filed its year-end independent evaluation of reserves
for the year ending March 31, 2017, prepared in accordance with
National Instrument 51-101, on SEDAR.
The following is a summary of the oil and natural gas reserves
and the value of future net revenue of Zenith Energy Ltd. (the
"Company") as evaluated by Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd.,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada as at March 31, 2017, and dated June 26,
2017 (the "Chapman Report"). Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. is
an independent qualified reserves evaluator and auditor.
These results were filed on SEDAR on June 27, 2017 in accordance
with TSX rules.
All evaluations of future revenue are after the deduction of
future income tax expenses, unless otherwise noted in the tables,
royalties, development costs, production costs and well abandonment
costs but before consideration of indirect costs such as
administrative, overhead and other miscellaneous expenses. The
estimated future net revenue contained in the following tables does
not necessarily represent the fair market value of the Company's
reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost
assumptions contained in the Chapman Report will be attained and
variances could be material. Other assumptions and qualifications
relating to costs and other matters are included in the Chapman
Report. The recovery and reserves estimates on the Company's
properties described herein are estimates only. The actual reserves
on the Company's properties may be greater or less than those
calculated.

Notes:
1. "Gross Reserves" are the Company's working interest
(operating or non-operating) share before deducting of royalties
and without including any royalty interests of the Company. "Net
Reserves" are the Company's working interest (operating or
non-operating) share after deduction of royalty obligations, plus
the Company's royalty interests in reserves.
2. "Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated
with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely
that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the
estimated proved reserves.
3. "Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are
less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally
likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be
greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable
reserves.
4. "Developed Producing" reserves are those reserves that are
expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time
of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if
shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date
of resumption of production must be known with reasonable
certainty.
5. "Developed Non-Producing" reserves are those reserves that
either have not been on production, or have previously been on
production, but are shut in, and the date of resumption of
production is unknown.
6. "Undeveloped" reserves are those reserves expected to be
recovered from know accumulations where a significant expenditure
(for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is
required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet
the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable,
possible) to which they are assigned.
These results can be viewed online at www.sedar.com and will
also shortly be available for review at www.zenithenergy.ca
