NILE Bitnile Holdings Inc

Ault Energy has made commitment to participate in White River’s next drilling project which is currently underway

The partnership expects to jointly drill approximately 100 oil wells over the next five years

BitNile Holdings, Inc. (“BitNile”) (NYSE American: NILE) and White River Energy Corp (“White River”) (OTCQB: WTRV), today announced that the successful drilling project by Ault Energy, LLC (“Ault Energy”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BitNile, and White River Operating LLC (“WRO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of White River, has begun producing at a rate of 78 flowing barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”). The Harry O’Neal 20-9 No. 1 (the “O’Neal No. 1 Well”) is currently producing from the Smackover formation.

BitNile acquired a forty percent (40%) working interest in the O’Neal No. 1 Well, which is the first project in an expected long-term partnership between White River and BitNile, which was previously announced in July 2022 with the intention to drill approximately 100 oil wells over five years. Additionally, Ault Energy has committed to acquire a thirty-seven and one half (37.5%) working interest in the Peabody AMI 12 A No. 18 (the “Peabody No. 18 Well”) drilling project in the Coochie field, Concordia Parish, Louisiana. The Peabody No. 18 Well is a 14,000 foot deep vertical test well with potential pay zones in the Frio, Wilcox, Lower Tuscaloosa, Austin Chalk, and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (“TMS”) formations. WRO has currently drilled to a depth of 5,000 feet and expects to reach the total depth in mid-December. The Peabody No. 18 Well has already had significant oil shows logged in the Frio formation between the depths of 2,970 feet and 3,043 feet. Based on these early indications, WRO believes that this drilling project will result in a commercial oil well and several shallow Frio developmental drilling opportunities.

“We are very pleased with the production results from the O’Neal No. 1 Well and the early indications from the Peabody No. 18 Well,” stated Randy May, Executive Chairman of White River. “We recently successfully completed a formation integrity test on the Peabody No. 18 Well to ensure that the well has the ability to withstand higher pressure zones we expect in the Austin Chalk and TMS formations, as we anticipate potentially oil and gas shows at the lowest depths of the well.”

BitNile Founder and Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault, III, who also serves as the Manager of Ault Energy, stated, “We are happy with the BOPD results of the O’Neal No. 1 Well. We are also very encouraged about the initial results being reported on our second drilling project with White River and are looking forward to viewing the well log after the drilling project has been completed.”
