Petrolympic Announces Planning of Operations in Mitis Property and General Updates

Petrolympic CEO Mendel Ekstein commented: "Developing the hydrocarbon potential of our properties is at the heart of Petrolympic's strategy and we believe that the environmental performance and the competitiveness of local end-users, as well as of larger industries located nearby in the Gaspe Peninsula and the North Shore, would greatly benefit from low-cost, locally-produced, conventional hydrocarbon resources."

These efforts come at a time when the Quebec government is actively encouraging the building of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities to facilitate access to clean energy sources for businesses that are not connected to the existing natural gas distribution networks. To name but a few measures, the building of a large LNG plant in Becancour has been approved just this week and the 2015-2016 Quebec budget includes provisions for incentives to develop new LNG facilities across the Province.

Annual Shareholders Meeting

The Company is also pleased to announce that all items on the agenda were approved at the Company's annual and special shareholders meeting held on August 20, 2015 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, the shareholders of Petrolympic ratified the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan, appointed Collins Barrow Toronto LLP as auditors of the Company for the ensuing year, and authorized the directors to fix their remuneration. In addition, each of the current directors of Petrolympic, being Mendel Ekstein, Andreas Jacob, Alain Fleury, Frank Ricciuti, Miles Pittman, Rodger Creamer and Glenn MacNeill, were re-elected.
