Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (FSCwire) - Westcore Energy Ltd. ("Westcore" or the "Company") (TSXV: WTR) is pleased to provide the following update on its oil and gas activities.

Joint Venture Drilling

Westcore has now finished completion activities on the three joint venture wells on its Flaxcombe property with its partner Eros Resources Corp. ("Eros"), with all three wells now on production.The first well, 9-13, has been on production in excess of 30 days, with initial results showing an average rate of 80 barrels of oil per day (8 net to Westcore).The other two wells, 6-13 and 1-13, have not yet been on production for 30 days, but initial results are encouraging at both locations.Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Westcore's partner, Eros, is entitled to a 90% working interest in the joint venture wells until its investment is recovered and a 50% working interest thereafter.Additionally, Eros maintains a right of first refusal to participate on the same terms on two subsequent drill programs to be drilled on the same lands, to a maximum of $1,600,000 per future drill program.

As was announced on July 12, 2017, Westcore entered into a joint venture with Saturn Oil
& Gas Inc. on the re-completion of 1-13B, an existing well on Westcore's land at Flaxcombe.Recompletion operations at this site are now finished, and the well is on initial production.Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, Westcore is entitled to a 50% working interest in the re-completed well.

Results from the drilling program with Eros and the recompletion with Saturn are very encouraging and further increase Westcore's confidence in attaining its objective of confirming economic quantities of heavy oil in place in the Lower Manville Group Success Sand Formation at its Flaxcombe property.

10-13 Well

As was announced by press release on March 27, 2017, Westcore initiated production at its 100% owned 10-13 well in the Flaxcombe field.Results from the 10-13 well have substantially exceeded management's expectations, with production averaging in excess of 150 barrels of oil per day.

For the remainder of fiscal 2017, Westcore intends to continue growing its production through the re-initiation of additional wells in the Flaxcombe field, along with the re-completion program with its partners.
