OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prairie Operating Co. (OTCQB: CRKR; the "Company"), Edward Kovalik, Chief Executive Officer, issues letter to stockholders.

Prairie Stockholders,

We are thrilled with the successful completion of the merger between Creek Road Miners, Inc. and Prairie Operating Co., LLC. This merger represents a significant milestone for the Company and positions us for growth and value creation.

Prairie Operating Co. currently trades under the ticker symbol "CRKR" and expects to commence trading on the OTCQB under the new ticker symbol "PROP" once FINRA processes the Company's pending action request. In addition, we are in the process of applying for an uplisting to the NYSE American Exchange. We believe that this move will amplify our visibility, expand our investor base and enhance liquidity, unlocking new opportunities for the Company and our valued stockholders.

We believe our initial acquisition of oil and gas leases in Weld County, Colorado provides an exciting platform for future drilling opportunities. The area boasts extensive well control in both the Codell and Niobrara formations, as well as many offset active drilling permits. Strategically located and supported by extensive infrastructure, we believe our acreage offers significant opportunities for growth. With no near-term lease expirations and access to lease extension options, we have the time and flexibility to optimize our assets.

Growth through accretive acquisitions is also a key part of our strategy. We are actively analyzing a number of deep value opportunities, seeking to establish a robust pipeline of growth-oriented assets.

Our management team is dedicated to creating sustainable, long-term growth. We are grateful for your support as we navigate an evolving energy market and undertake to capitalize on emerging opportunities, delivering stockholder value.
