President's Message

2024 was a record year for Source Rock as a result of acquisitions completed in 2023 and record drilling activity. In 2024, 43 new horizontal wells began producing on our royalty lands: 20 Frobisher wells in S.E. Saskatchewan, 18 Clearwater wells in central Alberta, 3 Viking wells in west-central Saskatchewan, 1 Dina well in east-central Alberta and 1 Amaranth well in Manitoba.

Source Rock's working capital as of February 28, 2025 was approximately $5 million ($0.11 per share), a 120% increase from February 2024. We are actively pursuing additional accretive royalty acquisitions with the goal of expanding and diversifying our base royalty production, as well as increasing exposure to undeveloped royalty lands and ongoing drilling activity. We continue to be focused on acquiring high netback oil royalties.

Brad Docherty, President & CEO
