Montara Safety Case Accepted

August 6, 2019-Singapore: Jadestone Energy Inc. (AIM:JSE, TSXV:JSE) ("Jadestone" or the "Company"), an independent oil and gas production company focused on the Asia Pacific region, is pleased to announce that its safety case for the Montara oil project ("Montara"), offshore Australia, has now been accepted by Australia's National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority ("NOPSEMA").

Acceptance of the safety case was the last remaining requirement before Montara operatorship could be transferred from the seller to Jadestone.

Paul Blakeley, President and CEO commented:

"I am delighted to have our Montara safety case accepted by NOPSEMA. Australia is a tier one regulatory regime which requires operators to demonstrate a very high standard of care in the oil and gas industry. Having our Montara safety case in force, both validates our credentials and our capabilities as an operator, and completes an important aspect of our own internal governance practices with regards to safe and environmentally sound operations."

Jadestone is now completing the transfer of operatorship, and working with NOPTA to finalise the transfer of the remaining 1% legal interest in the Montara titles.
