October 15, 2021 – Spruce Ridge Resources Ltd. (TSXV:SHL) (OTC:SRCGF) – (“Spruce Ridge” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Spruce Ridge Oil & Gas Inc. (“SRO&G”) has shipped its first load of oil to a refinery.  The current contract we have with our customer is to supply 75m3 at $78.13 USD per barrel or   $491.44 USD per m3 less deductions and before royalties.  The revenue for the first shipment will be approximately $11,867 CDN.  A second delivery of oil is expected on Monday.  Subsequent contracts will be valued at the current spot price.

At this time, we currently have three oil wells operating and three wells are in the process of being started.
