Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 5, 2017) - Molori Energy Inc. (TSXV: MOL) (OTCQB: MOLOF) ("Molori" or the "Company"), announces that on May 31, 2017, the Company completed upon an agreement to acquire a 25-per-cent working interest in certain leases owned and operated by Ponderosa Energy LLC (see March 3, 2017 news release). This acquisition is in addition to the 25-per-cent working interest in certain leases originally acquired on June 6, 2016.

The additional properties comprise 24 leases and 156 wells, of which 70 are presently producing. 

As per the original terms of the agreement, Molori paid to Ponderosa $1-million (U.S.) in cash at closing. Ponderosa has already begun to apply these funds to its continuing program of work-overs to further enhance production in its joint venture with Molori.  Subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, the Company will also issue 2 million common shares to Ponderosa in conjunction with the purchase.
