Forward Looking InformationUnless otherwise stated, all financial amounts herein are presented in United States dollars ("$"). The Company may also reference Canadian dollars ("C$"), Trinidad and Tobago dollars ("TT$") and Pounds Sterling("£") herein.

Certain information regarding Touchstone Exploration Inc. ("Touchstone", "we", "our", "us", or the "Company") set forth in this presentation, including assessments by the Company’s Management of theCompany’s plans and future operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact may beforward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”,“predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “could”, “might”, “should”, “believe” and other similar expressions. Statements relating to “reserves” and “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, asthey involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves and resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be profitably produced in thefuture. The Company has a reasonable basis for disclosing such statements, which represent the Company’s internal projections, estimates or beliefs concerning future growth, and results of operations.

With respect to forward-looking information contained in this presentation, the Company has made assumptions regarding: financial condition, outlook and results of operations, exploration, development andassociated operational plans (including drilling, testing, facilities construction and recompletion programs) and the anticipated costs and timing thereof; estimated oil and gas reserves (including the magnitude,ability to recover, commerciality and net present value thereof); production rates and production decline rates; the success of exploration opportunities; plans for and results of production testing; the ability tosecure necessary personnel, equipment, production licences and services; environmental matters; future commodity prices; changes to prevailing regulatory, royalty, tax and environmental laws and regulations;the impact of competition, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof); future financing sources; and business prospects and opportunities; and theimpact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company’s future operations and future petroleum pricing, among other things.

Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipateddue to a number of factors and risks. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for Management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor onTouchstone’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Although the Companybelieves that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because theCompany can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Some of the risks that could affect the Company's future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in theforward-looking information are described under the heading "Advisories: Business Risks" in this presentation and are also set out in more detail in the Company's 2019 Annual Information Form dated March25, 2020 which has been filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.

Investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements or information. Further, any forward-looking statement or information speaks only as of the date on which such statement ismade, and Touchstone undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information except as required by law, including securities laws. All forward-looking statements and informationcontained in this presentation are qualified by such cautionary statements.

An investment in Touchstone Exploration Inc.’s securitiesshould be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the proposed involvement in the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas.

This presentation and the information contained herein do not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States. The securities of Touchstone Exploration Inc. have not been registered under the UnitedStates Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities lawsor an exemption from such registration is available.

Business Risks

The Company is exposed to numerous operational, technical, financial and regulatory risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond its control and may significantly affect anticipated future results. The Company is exposed to risks associated withnegotiating with foreign governments as well as country risk associated with conducting international activities. Operations may be unsuccessful or delayed as a result of competition for services, supplies and equipment, mechanical and technicaldifficulties, ability to attract and retain qualified employees on a cost-effective basis, commodity and marketing risk. The Company is subject to significant drilling risks and uncertainties including the ability to find oil and gas reserves on an economicbasis and the potential for technical problems that could lead to well blow-outs and environmental damage. The Company is exposed to risks relating to the inability to obtain timely regulatory approvals, surface access, access to third-party gatheringand processing facilities, transportation and other third-party related operation risks. The Company is subject to industry conditions including changes in laws and regulations, including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations andchanges in how they are interpreted and enforced. There are uncertainties in estimating the Company’s reserve and resource base due to the complexities in estimated future production, costs and timing of expenses and future capital. The Company issubject to the risk that it will not be able to fulfill the contractual obligations required to retain its rights to explore, develop and exploit any of its properties. The financial risks the Company is exposed to include, but are not limited to, the impact ofgeneral economic conditions in Canada and Trinidad, continued volatility in market prices for oil and gas, the impact of significant declines in market prices for oil and gas, the ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources, changesin income tax laws, royalties and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry, fluctuations in interest rates, the C$ to US$ exchange rate and the US$ to TT$ exchange rate. The Company is subject to local regulatory legislation, the compliancewith which may require significant expenditures and non-compliance with which may result in fines, penalties or production restrictions or the termination of licence, LOA or farm-in rights related to the Company’s oil and gas interests in Trinidad.Certain of these risks are set out in more detail in the Company’s 2019 Annual Information Form dated March 25, 2020 which has been filed on SEDAR and can be accessed at www.sedar.com.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in emergency actions taken by governments worldwide which has had an effect in Canada and Trinidad. The actions taken by these governments have typically included, but is not limited to travel bans, mandatoryand self-imposed quarantines and isolations, physical distancing, and the closing of non-essential businesses which have had significant negative effects on economies, including a substantial decline in crude oil and natural gas demand. Additionally, suchactions have resulted in volatility and disruptions in regular business operations, supply chains and financial markets as well as declining trade and market sentiment. COVID-19 as well as other factors have resulted in the deepest drop in crude oil pricesthat global markets have seen since 1991. With the rapid spread of COVID-19, oil prices and the global equity markets have deteriorated significantly and are expected to remain under pressure. These events and conditions have caused a significantdecrease in the valuation of oil and natural gas companies and a decrease in confidence in the oil and natural gas industry. COVID-19 also poses a risk on the financial capacity of the Company's contract counterparties and potentially their ability toperform contractual obligations. The full extent of the risks surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic is continually evolving. The risks disclosed in the Company’s 2019 Annual Information Form may be exacerbated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic:market risks related to the volatility of oil and gas prices, volatility of foreign exchange rates, volatility of the market price of common shares, and hedging arrangements; operational risks related to increasing operating costs or declines in productionlevels, operator performance and payment delays, and government regulations, ability to obtain additional financing, and variations in foreign exchange rates; and other risks related to cyber-security as our workforce moves to remote connections,accounting adjustments, effectiveness of internal controls, and reliance on key personnel, management, and labour.

Advisories Oil and Gas Reserves

The reserves information summarized in this presentation are from the Company’s December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 independent reserve reports prepared by Touchstone’s independent reserves evaluator, GLJ Ltd. ("GLJ"), dated March 4, 2020and July 17, 2020, respectively. The reports were prepared in accordance with definitions, standards and procedures contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH") and National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oiland Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"). All December 31, 2019 reserves presented are based on GLJ’s forecast pricing dated January 1, 2020 and estimated costs effective December 31, 2019. Additional reserves information as required under NI 51-101 isincluded in the Company’s 2019 Annual Information Form dated March 25, 2020. All June 30, 2020 reserves presented are based on GLJ’s forecast pricing dated July 1, 2020 and estimated costs effective June 30, 2020.

Oil and Gas Measures

Where applicable, natural gas has been converted to barrels of oil equivalent based on six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil. The barrel of oil equivalent rate is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burnertip, and given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of the 6:1 conversion ratio, utilizing the 6:1 conversion ratio may be misleading as an indication ofvalue.

Oil and Gas Test Results

References in this presentation to production test rates and initial flow rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons; however, such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and declinethereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. Additionally, such rates may also include recovered "load oil" fluids used in well completion stimulation. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place relianceon such rates in calculating the aggregate production for the Company.

Drilling Locations

This presentation discloses total drilling locations. Drilling locations are classified into three categories: (i) proved locations; (ii) probable locations; and (iii) unbooked locations. Proved locations and probable locations are derived from the Company'sreserves evaluation of GLJ Ltd. effective December 31, 2019 and account for locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Unbooked locations are internal estimates based on the prospective acreage associated with theCompany’s assets and an assumption as to the number of wells that can be drilled based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves. Of the approximately 208 (net) drilling locations identified herein, 54are proved locations; 29 are probable locations; and the remaining are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations have been identified by Management as an estimation of potential multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic,seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the Company will drill all unbooked drilling locations, and if drilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves or production.The locations on which the Company will drill wells will ultimately depend upon the availability of capital, regulatory approvals, crude oil and natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that can be obtained and otherfactors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been de-risked by drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, other unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells whereManagement has less information about the characteristics of the reservoir, and therefore there is more uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such locations; and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gasreserves or production.

Advisories Non-GAAP Measures

This presentation may contain terms commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as funds flow from operations, working capital, and operating netback. These terms do not have a standardized meaning under Generally Accepted AccountingPrinciples ("GAAP") and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Shareholders and investors are cautioned that these measures should not be construed as alternatives to cash provided by operating activities, netincome, or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures for its own performance measurement and to provide stakeholders with measures to compare the Company’soperations over time.
