The directors and management of Strata-X Energy Ltd. has reported the appointment of David L. Hettich as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the Company and the appointment of Shaun Maskerine as the Company's Canadian Corporate Secretary.

Prior to joining Strata-X as CFO, David Hettich provided consulting services to the Company in a variety of positions including Controller and Land Manager.

The appointment of Mr. Hettich as CFO of the Company and the resignation of the Company's prior CFO, Timothy Bradley, is part of a planned transition by Strata-X's Board of Directors. The resignation of Mr. Bradley as CFO was accepted by Strata-X's Board of Directors as of the date of this press release.
