Archer Exploration Commences Trading on OTCQB Venture Market

VANCOUVER, June 28, 2023 - Archer Exploration Corp. (CSE: RCHR) (OTCQB: RCHRF) (FSE: 6YR0) (the "Company" or "Archer Exploration") is pleased to announce that its common shares have qualified to trade on the OTCQB® Venture Market ("OTCQB") under the new symbol "RCHRF". The common shares of the Company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol "RCHR" and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "6YR0".

Tom Meyer, Archer's President and CEO, commented: "We are excited to join the OTCQB exchange as this will provide us with an opportunity to expand our shareholder base, enhance our visibility and increase trading liquidity in the U.S. We look forward to strengthening our relationships with U.S. investors and highlighting the Company's critical minerals exploration and development opportunities."

The OTCQB is a U.S. trading platform that is operated by the OTC Markets Group in New York and is the premier marketplace for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies. To be eligible for quotation on the OTCQB, companies must be current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification and management certification process. Companies must also meet a minimum bid price test and other financial conditions. Recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an established public market, the OTCQB provides investors who cannot access trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange with an alternative access to the Company's shares through regulated U.S. broker-dealers.

The Company has chosen to trade on the OTCQB to provide current and future U.S.-based investors with greater access, ease of trading, home country disclosure, and current financial disclosures. The OTCQB quality standards provide a strong baseline of transparency, as well as the technology and regulation to improve the information and trading experience for investors. Investors can find Real-Time quotes and market information for the Company on www.otcmarkets.com.

The Company expects its common shares to be eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") in the United States in the coming days.

DTC eligibility is expected to simplify the process of trading and enhance liquidity of the Company's common shares in the U.S. With DTC eligibility, existing investors benefit from potentially greater liquidity and execution speeds, whilst opening the door to new investors that may have been previously restricted from the Company's common shares.
