Touchstone Exploration Inc.（“Touchstone”、“我们”、“我们的”或“公司”）（多伦多证券交易所、伦敦证券交易所代码：TXP）宣布，我们在特立尼达的全资子公司 Primera Oil and Gas Limited（“POGL”）已签署 Cipero 和 Charuma 区块的勘探和生产（公共石油权）许可证（统称“许可证”），自 2024 年 7 月 1 日起生效。

根据特立尼达和多巴哥 2022 年陆上和近岸竞争性投标轮次，Cipero 和 Charuma 区块被授予 POGL。这些许可证由 POGL、特立尼达和多巴哥政府、特立尼达和多巴哥能源和能源工业部（“MEEI”）以及特立尼达和多巴哥国家天然气公司（“NGC”）的子公司的代表全面执行。

POGL 在每个许可证下拥有 80% 的经营权益，NGC 持有剩余 20% 的经营权益。与该公司的 Ortoire 许可证类似，许可证的初始期限为六年，对于拥有 MEEI 批准的商业发现的地区，许可证的期限可再延长 19 年。

Touchstone Exploration Inc. ("Touchstone", "we", "our" or the "Company") (TSX, LSE: TXP) announces that Primera Oil and Gas Limited ("POGL"), our wholly owned Trinidadian subsidiary, has entered into Exploration and Production (Public Petroleum Rights) Licences for the Cipero and Charuma blocks (collectively, the "Licences") effective July 1, 2024.

The Cipero and Charuma blocks were awarded to POGL pursuant to the Trinidad and Tobago 2022 Onshore and Nearshore Competitive Bid Round. The Licences were fully executed by representatives from POGL, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, the Trinidad and Tobago Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries ("MEEI"), and a subsidiary of the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago ("NGC").

POGL has an 80 percent operating working interest under each Licence, with NGC holding the remaining 20 percent working interest. Similar to the Company's Ortoire licence, the Licences initially have a six-year term and may be extended by an additional 19 years for areas that have a MEEI approved commercial discovery.
