Jadestone Energy Announces Commodity Hedge

Singapore, January 3, 2018: Jadestone Energy Inc. (TSXV: JSE) (the "Company") announces that it has entered into a commodity hedge with BP Singapore Pte Limited to hedge a total of 350,000 bbls of crude oil production over the period January 2, 2018 to June 30, 2018 (1,944 bbls/d), using Brent ICE crude as the commodity reference price, and at a fixed price of US$64.60.

This hedged volume represents approximately 60% of the mid-point of Jadestone's target Stag production for H2 2017 of 3,000 to 3,500 bbls/d and approximately 43% of the mid-point of Jadestone's target total production for H2 2017 of 4,300 to 4,800 boe/d.

"Today's announced Brent based swap gives Jadestone tremendous downside price protection on our liquids production, thereby giving us greater certainty in the returns we had envisaged when we acquired both our producing assets, Stag and Ogan Komering, in what is currently still a very volatile oil price environment.  This move protects our Balance Sheet and provides greater positive cashflow certainty for the Company in 2018.  Further, we still have a significant portion of liquids production unhedged, providing us substantial upside exposure in the event of a further rise in oil prices in the course of 2018," said Paul Blakeley, Jadestone's President and Chief Executive Officer.
