Existing development (wells and permits)

• Total acres prospective for Niobrara: ~2.2 million2

• Implied potential horizontal wells: ~13,7003

• Existing horizontal Niobrara wells: ~4,1004

• Remaining drillable locations: ~9,600• Implied development potential remaining: US$48 Bn5

• Combined 2017 budget of top operators: ~US$3.8 Bn6

• Implies a significant capital budget deficit

Key Development Statistics For DJ Basin Niobrara

• HNR has demonstrated the ability to partner with larger operators seeking to farm-out drilling activity

• East Denver land partners receive significant incentives• Royalties• Back-in opportunities

• In exchange for economic incentives and drilling commitments, HNR can secure additional acreage at a low up-front cost

The Right Team at the Right Time

The HNR team is well positioned to capitalize on this growth strategy in U.S. shale:• Geology: identifying attractive (often overlooked) shale prospects• Land: securing land positions in creative ways with low up-front cost • Finance: funding oil & gas operations on promoted terms with back-in economics• Engineering: designing and optimizing horizontal wells• Operations: executing logistically complex drilling and completions programs

Near term cash flows from East Denver supports long-term development of additional opportunities

DT Ultravert Market Update

• In August 2017 a federal jury ruled in favor of two Oklahoma well operators whowere victims of well bashing• Awarded US$220,000 for damages to vertical parent well• Bashing classified as “subsurface trespass” and “creating private nuisance”• Vertical wells were bashed by a modern horizontal well

14

A recent federal judgement created liabilities for operators who bash parent wells

Situation Overview Bashing Illustration

DT Ultravert Market Update• Precedent set by the Oklahoma case:

• May extend to tens of thousands of existing wellbores located nearby permits• Also legitimizes claims from potentially thousands of existing victims of

bashing

Helios Two Update• Highlands discovered helium and methane in two formations under its Helios

Two play in SE Montana• 105,444 acres in Custer, Carter and Fallon Counties• Eagle Formation and Muddy Formation proved to contain helium and methane

• Helios two potentially offers high returns• CPR published 6 January, 2017 maintains unrisked “best estimate” NPV10 of US$341

million for natural gas development project of the Muddy Formation

• Highlands’ next step will be commercial testing of both the Eagle and MuddyFormations• Eagle Formation test involves a nitrogen-based foam frack to stimulate rock and

assess commercial methane and helium production rates• Muddy test entails rapid de-watering of the formation to determine available

methane and helium flow rates

17

Helium is an increasingly scarce and valuable commodity, recently placed on the EU’s Critical Raw Materials List – pricing now exceeds US$119 per Mcf 1 (up 11.4% YoY)

Next Steps• Focusing on East Denver with plans to announce IP flow rates for Powell and

Wildhorse in the near term• Promising initial flowback results have risen to 637 Boepd (rising daily)• HNR is already selling multiple truckloads of oil on a daily basis• 2,645 barrels of oil sold as of 10 November

• Together with our financial partners, Highlands will prepare for additional drillingat East Denver in the spring of 2018• Cash flow from production to be recycled into additional wells• Aim to build production profile as rapidly as possible

• In parallel, Highlands continues to advance the commercialisation and patentprotection of DT Ultravert• Increasing focus on victims of well bashing in light of recent court judgements• Advanced discussions with operators in multiple shale basins for DTU deployments• Goal is to trigger “tipping point” of broad market adoption

• Helios Two milestones to include commercial testing of Eagle and Muddyformations• Concepts that may offer excellent timing as helium market enters scarcity crisis• High upside opportunity
