CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Nov. 29, 2016) – US Oil Sands Inc. (“US Oil Sands” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:USO), an innovator of oil extraction technologies, today announced that it has filed its unaudited interim financial statements (“Interim Report“) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 (“Q3 2016“) along with the management discussion and analysis (“MD&A“) of the financial results of US Oil Sands for such period.

Copies of the aforementioned documents are available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval website at www.sedar.com as well as US Oil Sands’ website at www.usoilsandsinc.com.

The Interim Report and MD&A contain disclosure that the information has been prepared on a going concern basis, which asserts the Company has the ability to continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in a planned manner.

As a result of prolonged construction activities, the Company is operating with a working capital deficit. Additional capital is required to fund construction and commissioning of the PR Spring plant, as well as to successfully operate the plant and mine. At September 30, 2016 the Company had negative working capital of $2.1 million.

US Oil Sands is pursuing various strategies to improve its liquidity position, including asset-based and equity financing. The completion of any of these strategies is subject to material uncertainty which causes significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations under its current capital structure. There can be no assurance that the steps management will take will be successful. As such, there is significant doubt and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

The Company will provide an update on operations and financing as soon as there is material information to report.

ABOUT US OIL SANDS INC.
