MCW Energy Group Sets Definitive Production Target After Completing Systems Optimization Program at Their Asphalt Ridge Oil Sands Extraction Plant

TORONTO, ON -- (Marketwired) -- 07/21/15 -- MCW Energy Group ("MCW") (TSX VENTURE: MCW) (OTCQX: MCWEF), a Canadian-registered holding company involved in the development of environmentally-friendly oil sands extraction technologies, through MCW Oil Sands Recovery, LLC, today announced further progress of its Asphalt Ridge oil sands operations based in Vernal, Utah.

Back in October, 2014 during a benchmark Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, MCW successfully demonstrated its proprietary oil sands extraction technology, passing the "proof of concept" stage with flying colors and confirming that it was indeed commercially viable. As pioneers of America's first environmentally-friendly oil sands project, the MCW team subsequently acknowledged that a considerable period of system optimization would be required to increase extraction system efficiencies and production flow capacities for larger extraction plants. Under the leadership of MCW's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Vladimir Podlipskiy, the Company implemented its Systems Optimization Program, which commenced in January, 2015 and has now been completed. As part of this program, MCW has added significant measurement and control devices for measuring and monitoring all of the production phases of its current extraction plant and its processes. Improvements have been made in throughput time as well as the reduction of the system's overall energy requirements.

With these extraction system improvements, MCW has now set a production target of 6,000 barrels of oil over a 60 day period ending on September 30th, 2015. It is expected that with the addition of a second and third shift, actual production will exceed this target. Oil sales are now being made to the nearby Salt Lake City refineries and delivery schedules will be stepped up as production volumes increase. All of these elements will contribute towards greater revenues from MCW's initial extraction plant facility. More importantly, these enhancements will be incorporated into the design engineering of the proposed extraction plants anticipated to increase daily production to 5,000 bbl/day.

Dr. R. Gerald Bailey, MCW's CEO, stated, "We have successfully transitioned from the completion of our Systems Optimization Program into an efficient production mode." He added, "Our initial extraction plant will now serve as a showcase for potential joint venture groups wanting to join our leadership with the environmentally-friendly development of oil sands projects throughout the world. We really believe that energy resources can be developed responsibly without risk to the environment."

As part of the production expansion plan, MCW's technical and geological teams have been working very closely with a global financial institution towards financing an anticipated 5000 bbl/day extraction plant. The bank's due diligence programs include a feasibility study of MCW's technology, its planned expansion program, and further study of the nearby Temple Mountain Energy resource (87 million barrels of bitumen - Chapman Petroleum Engineering Report - 2014), the site of the proposed expansion. The due diligence on the resource has now been completed with very positive results, and the technology due diligence is ongoing.

MCW is also currently involved in several joint venture discussions with international companies seeking environmentally-friendly oil sands extraction technologies. Recently while world oil prices were sagging, MCW surprised the resource industry with its under $ 30.00 bbl production cost estimates, probably the best production costs in the unconventional oil industry.
