HOUSTON, TEXAS, May 8, 2017 – Discovery Energy Corp. (OTC Markets: DENR); today announced that it has entered into a series of financing agreements with DEC Funding, LLC (“DEC Funding”), an entity formed by a group of investors for the purpose of making investments in Discovery.

As previously disclosed, Discovery completed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) and a series of private placements of its Senior Secured Convertible Debentures beginning in May 2016 for a total of USD $5,587,500 with DEC Funding and Texican Energy Corporation.  This first financing round was used by Discovery to execute the Nike 3D seismic survey, which was completed in late 2016 on the Western Flank production trend of Company’s approximately 585,000 acre PEL 512 License located in the Cooper Basin, South Australia.

Under the terms of the SPA agreement, DEC Funding has the right to purchase additional Debentures having an aggregate amount of up to USD $20 Million (the “Additional Purchase Option”) which, if exercised, will be used by Discovery to fulfill work commitments at its PEL 512 project.

Based on previous geoscience work and the additional structures and drill targets identified in evaluation of the Nike 3D Survey, Discovery has proposed to DEC Funding to drill up to five wells during calendar 2017. DEC Funding may exercise its Additional Purchase Option for up to USD $20 Million, in two tranches, subject to various conditions as various exploration objectives and milestones are met.

In addition to these funds, Discovery Energy and DEC Funding have entered into discussions to provide Discovery or its affiliates with access to up to an additional USD $100 Million for strategic investments for onshore, upstream oil & gas development in Australia.

Mr. Keith Spickelmier, Chairman of Discovery stated “We are very excited to have a financing relationship with DEC Funding to fund our upcoming drilling program which will target significant high quality and high margin oil resources at PEL 512. We are also pleased that DEC Funding has indicated an interest in funding up to an additional USD $100 million to secure other strategic and opportunistic investments in onshore Australia, particularly in the Cooper Basin in South Australia.”

Mr. Steven Webster, a principal investor in DEC Funding, also added, “We see the energy sector in Australia as an excellent investment opportunity, and in some ways the Cooper Basin resembles parts of the United States in its attractiveness as an investment. We are excited to partner with the strong team at Discovery to assist them in growing their footprint in the Cooper Basin and other regions of Australia.”
