On November 11, 2016, the Company and three other parties entered into a joint venture for the operation of a website for careers in the oil and gas industry. The Company has a 25% interest in this joint venture and has made advances of $68,331 to the joint venture as of August 31, 2017. The joint venture has not commenced operations as of May 31, 2019.

In November 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (“FBCC”), a global developer of blockchain-based applications, to design and develop a blockchain-powered supply chain management platform for the oil and gas industry to be marketed to oil and gas producers and operators. On January 8, 2018, the Company paid the first instalment of $100,000 to FBCC and is currently renegotiating the terms of the agreement. The initial $100,000 has been applied to operating costs incurred by Petrobloq, LLC related to an office lease beginning March 1, 2018 and research costs related to payments to the development team consisting of four employees. A further $106,500 was advanced to First Bitcoin Capital during the nine months ended May 31, 2019. These funds were used to fund certain operating costs and payments to the development team.
