MCW Energy Group Enters Into Agreement to Acquire Controlling Stake of E&P Company With Extensive Resource Potential and Licenses for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Technologies

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/04/16 --

MCW Energy Group Limited ("MCW") (TSX VENTURE:MCW)(OTCQX:MCWEF), a Canadian holding company involved in the development of environmentally-friendly oil sands technologies and the production of oil from Utah's vast oil sands deposits, today announced the execution of a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") to acquire a controlling interest in Houston-based, exploration and production (E&P) company, Accord GR Energy, Inc. ("Accord").

Accord's assets include a limited license for two enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies for use on Accord's southwest Texas properties and intended for use on MCW's 2,200 acre oil sands property in Temple Mountain, Utah.

It also includes equitable title pursuant to a purchase agreement to 7,000 acres in southwest Texas, with 88 drilled and completed (DUC) wells. The oil is categorized as "medium crude" and the deposits are in the light gravity range of heavy oil at 18-22 API gravity.

Accord's SWEPT technology is designed to recover fossil hydrocarbons by improving rock and fluid properties through the use of impulse-wave based technology.

Accord's S-BRPT technology, designed to recover solid and liquid hydrocarbons through aggregate conversion into gaseous forms followed with well based recovery of same from greater depths, is expected to expand economic recoverability of MCW's bitumen initially in place at depths up to 300 feet and deeper, levels currently not economical with existing processing capabilities.

"The plan for this acquisition is to significantly expand our bitumen initially in place, improve economics for oil recoverability of the sub-surface hydrocarbon assets, and provide us with more flexibility in recovering our bitumen," commented Alex Byumkin, MCW chairman. "We plan on testing the technologies on our Temple Mountain site and are confident in its capabilities to improve economics in oil recovery."

Pursuant to the Agreement, MCW will acquire 57.3% of all issued and outstanding shares of Accord, in consideration for 59,698,300 shares of MCW and warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of MCW at US$0.25 per share for three years. The common shares issued will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issuance. The Agreement is conditional only on the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and is expected to close within 30 days.
