Such financial outlook or future oriented financial information is provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating to the future. Readersare cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes.
In particular, this presentation contains statements regarding: the ability of Ember to grow 3 – 5 % per year under certain assumed conditions; potential growth opportunities and benefits relating to the assets ofthe Company; the ability of Ember to capitalize on its CBM completions and utilize wellbore remediation to maintain current production with $35 million in annual expenditures; the target Total Debt / EBITDA ratioof the Company of less than 2.0; the Company’s free cash flow estimates for 2017; Ember’s ability to generate cash flow to fund total capital of $36 million, interest of $28 million and debt reduction of $34 million;the ability of Ember’s hedging program to increase realized prices below $2.70/GJ; Ember’s projected EBITDA sensitivity based on 2018 production of 291 MMcfe/d and a maintenance capital spend; the strategyof the Company and the ability of the Company to execute on this strategy; the risk levels associated with Ember's development strategy; the availability of drilling or recompletion locations, including the timing andsuccess thereof; expected cash provided by operations; expected operating expenses; expected decline rates of the Company's asset base; expected quality of the Company's asset base; expected liquidity ofthe Company; future capital expenditures; future net debt levels; Ember's access to additional capital; and other such matters. As such, many factors could cause the performance or achievement of Ember to bematerially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Because of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions containedherein, readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any data, graphs or information in this presentation that have been compiled by a third party has been credited to that thirdparty and Ember does not take responsibility for the accuracy of such information.
In addition, statements relating to "reserves" are by their nature forward-looking information, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the reserves described canbe profitably produced in the future. The recovery and reserves estimates provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Ember cautions that its futurenatural gas and natural gas liquids production, revenues, cash flows, liquidity, plans for future operations, expenses, outlook for oil and natural gas prices, timing and amount of future capital expenditures, andother forward-looking information is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the exploration for and development and production and sale of oil and gas.
All such forward-looking information is based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments,as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Such assumptions include: the expansion of Ember's business and operations; natural gas prices and demand; expansion and otherdevelopment trends in the oil and gas industry; the Company's future acquisition opportunities including the amount, timing and nature thereof; the ability of the Company to raise capital; royalty rates, general andadministrative expenses and interest expenses; the Company's ability to maintain existing customer, supplier and partner relationships; the ability of Ember's management team to execute the Company'sdevelopment strategy; and other such matters. The risks, uncertainties, and assumptions are difficult to predict and may affect operations, and may include, without limitation: foreign exchange fluctuations;equipment and labor shortages and inflationary costs; general economic conditions; industry conditions; changes in applicable environmental, taxation and other laws and regulations as well as how such laws andregulations are interpreted and enforced; the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise capital; the effect of weather conditions on operations and facilities; the existence of operating risks; volatility of oil andnatural gas prices; oil and gas product supply and demand; risks inherent in the ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet current and future obligations; increased competition; stock marketvolatility; opportunities available to or pursued by us; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The foregoing factors are not exhaustive.
Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, this forward-looking information and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that any of the eventsanticipated by the forward-looking information will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what benefits will be derived therefrom. Except as required by law, Ember disclaims any intention or obligation toupdate or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking information contained herein is expressly qualified by this cautionarystatement.
This presentation contains the term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) which has been calculated on the basis of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. This conversion ratio is based on energyequivalence primarily at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. The term boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
The Company uses terms “funds from operations”, “EBITDA”, “operating netback”, “net debt”, and “total debt”. These measurements should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, othermeasures as determined in accordance with IFRS. These measurements do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS; thus, the Company’s determination of funds from operations, EBITDA, operatingnetback, net debt, and total debt may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

INTRODUCTION
Company Overview
ASSET OVERVIEW
• Ember is a leader in natural gas production from Coal Bed Methane (“CBM”) and represents a low decline, low cost natural gas resource in Alberta, Canada
‒ The resource has been built through a consolidation of the Horseshoe Canyon (“HSC”) CBM Formation in Alberta through a series of five strategic acquisitions (Fairborne, Sword, Apache and Encana x2)
‒ Long-term partnership with Brookfield as part of its flagship natural gas investment platform
• Ember is characterized by:
‒ Current production of ~290 MMcfe/d with a corporate decline rate of <5% per annum
‒ Concentrated asset base
o 2.3 Tcfe of proved plus probable reserves; >20 year reserve life(1)
o 1.1 Tcfe of developed producing reserves; >10 year reserve life(1)
‒ A large opportunity set to materially grow production and reserves with low risk development requiring modest capital
‒ Licensee Management Rating of 2.08
‒ Significant cash flow generation at modest increases in natural gas pricing
o Every $0.10/Mcf results in ~$10 million in additional cash flow generation pre hedges, per year

STRATEGY – MAXIMIZE FREE CASHFLOW TO REDUCE TOTAL DEBT
Low Declines + Low Sustaining Capital = Free Cash Flow
Strategic Attributes
Stable Production • Current production of 290 MMcfe/d with a Corporate decline rate of < 5%
Low Sustaining Capital
• Capitalize on CBM completions in existing wellbores that, when combined with wellbore remediation, will maintain current production with $35 million in annual expenditures
Future Drilling • In constructive gas price environment target conventional sands stacked with CBM zones from drilling inventory to provide low risk future growth
Low Cost Operations
• Total operating cash cost plus G&A of $1.58/mcf• Opportunity to increase operating margins with facility consolidation and operating cost reductions
Leverage • Dedicate free cash flow to debt reduction, targeting < 2.0x Total Debt / EBITDA

PRE HEDGED EBITDA AT VARIOUS GAS PRICING SCENARIOS
Ember delivers significant exposure to the upside in natural gas pricing under maintenance capital spend
• Every $0.25/GJ change in natural gas prices is equivalent to an additional ~$26 million in EBITDA pre hedging
• At AECO $2.50/GJ Ember has sufficient cashflow to fund:
‒ Total capital of $36 million and interest of $21 million
‒ Reduce debt by $34 million
• Ember’s mechanical hedging program will increase realized prices below $2.70/GJ
