Vancouver, January 12, 2023 - Wedgemount Resources Corp. (CSE: WDGY) (OTCQB: WDGRF) ("Wedgemount" or the "Company"), announces that it has completed the first of three payments in connection with the definitive agreement (the "Transaction") to acquire certain West Texas, Permian Basin, oil and gas production assets (the "Project") (announced December 19, 2022).
The Company completed a payment to the arm's length vendors of US$250,000 with additional payments of US$500,000 (on or before February 28, 2023) and US$750,000 (on or before March 31, 2023) scheduled to meet closing conditions of the Transaction.
On closing of the Transaction, the vendors will relinquish operators status and transfer title to the leases and ownership of related surface facilities and equipment to the Company's wholly owned Texas subsidiary, Wedgemount Texas Corp.

During the Interim Period, the vendor will conduct operations at the direction of WTC. WTC is responsible for oil and gas production taxes as well as property taxes during the Interim Period.
Separately, the Company determined that it would not proceed with its option on the red claims located in north central British Columbia (the "Cookie Property").
