Calgary, Alberta -- Questerre Energy Corporation ("Questerre" or the "Company")
(TSX,OSE:QEC) reported on the planned Uinta Basin Railway that will serve the
Uinta Basin in Utah including the acreage held by Red Leaf Resources, Inc. ("Red
Leaf"), its investee company. Questerre currently holds a 40% equity interest in
Red Leaf.

Michael Binnion, President & Chief Executive Officer of Questerre, commented,
"It has become less and less common to successfully permit large infrastructure
projects such as railways. We congratulate the Seven County Infrastructure
Coalition in Utah and their partners including Rio Grande Pacific, on securing
the final permit. With plans to end on Red Leaf's lands we think this railway
will materially enhance its value."

The Uinta Basin railway is reported to be the first major freight rail project
built in the United States in the last 30 years. It is expected to improve
access for waxy oil production in the basin to more lucrative markets on the US
Gulf Coast. Subject to a final investment decision, construction of the
approximately 90-mile railway could commence as early as next year and be
operational within two years. Earlier this month, the US Forest Service approved
the final right of way. More information on the Uinta Basin railway can be found
online at https://www.uintabasinrailway.com.

The recent approval is for the Whitmore Park route proposed by the railway that
includes a proposed terminus on a 7,000-acre parcel of land held by Red Leaf.
Red Leaf acquired this acreage earlier this year as part of a settlement for a
US$50 million secured note including principal and interest. The Red Leaf
acreage is also permitted by the state of Utah for a 44,000 barrel per day
refinery that would upgrade the waxy oil to more valuable products including
feedstock for lubricants. Red Leaf is in discussions with local stakeholders for
a rail loading facility that would move crude oil from tanker trucks to rail
cars that could also serve as the first stage of the larger refinery project.

Questerre is an energy technology and innovation company. It is leveraging its
expertise gained through early exposure to low permeability reservoirs to
acquire significant high-quality resources. We believe we can successfully
transition our energy portfolio. With new clean technologies and innovation to
responsibly produce and use energy, we can sustain both human progress and our
natural environment.

Questerre is a believer that the future success of the oil and gas industry
depends on a balance of economics, environment, and society. We are committed to
being transparent and are respectful that the public must be part of making the
important choices for our energy future.
