Forward-Looking Statements

Grizzly Oil Sands 2

Certain statements, estimates and financial information contained in this presentation ("Estimates") constitute forward-looking statements or information. Such forward-looking statements or information involve known and unknown risksand uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the Estimates or results implied orexpressed in such forward-looking statements. While presented with numerical specificity, the Estimates are based (i)on certain assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, regulatory, environmental,seasonal, and competitive uncertainties, contingencies and risks including, without limitation, assumptions of resource,ability to obtain debt and equity financing, capital costs, construction costs, well production performances, operatingcosts, commodity pricing, differentials, royalty structures, regulatory approvals, and other known and unknown risks, allof which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Grizzly Oil Sands ULC ("Grizzly"); and (ii)upon assumptions with respect to future business decisions that are subject to change.

There can be no assurance that the Estimates or the underlying assumptions will be realized and that actual results ofoperations or future events will not be materially different from the Estimates. Under no circumstances should theinclusion of the Estimates be regarded as a representation, undertaking, warranty or prediction by Grizzly, or any otherperson with respect to the accuracy thereof or the accuracy of the underlying assumptions, or that Grizzly will achieveor is likely to achieve any particular results. The Estimates are made as of the date of this presentation and Grizzlydisclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly or to revise any of the Estimates, whether as a result of newinformation, future events or otherwise. Recipients are cautioned that forward-looking statements or information are notguarantees of future performance and, accordingly, recipients are expressly cautioned not to put undue reliance onforward-looking statements or information due to the inherent uncertainty therein.

There are significant differences in the criteria associated with the classification of reserves, prospective resources andcontingent resources. Contingent resources and prospective resources estimates involve additional risks, specificallythe risk of not achieving commerciality and exploration risk, respectively, not applicable to reserves estimates. Noadjustments for these risks have been made in the groupings of reserves and recoverable resources.

All reference to dollars in this presentation should be assumed to refer to Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Allreferences to reserves and or resources represent Grizzly’s interest in reserves and resources prior to the deduction ofCrown royalties, unless otherwise noted.

ARMS Plant at Algar Lake

• Demonstrated that ARMS plant works

• Benefits of the ARMS development model include:

• Scalable and manageable growth to match reservoir development requirements

• Improved redundancy and operability

• Lower cost

• Lower project execution and financing risk

9Grizzly Oil Sands

• Rail provides consistent and flexible access to coastal markets offering Brent-based pricing

• Diluent requirements are 50% lower on rail (railbit) than pipeline

• Condensate back-haul opportunities from the U.S.Gulf Coast are available to resource diluent requirements at lower cost

• Low fixed costs provide optionality to access intra-Alberta markets (via truck) when local differentials are attractive.

Windell Terminal Site – Conklin, AB

• Windell Rail Terminal - Operational

• First crude oil shipped to the U.S. Gulf Coast in June, 2014

• Located on CN line adjacent to our May River site, and in close proximity to 160,000 bbls/d of existing and 1.5 MMbbls/d of planned industry bitumen production

• Capacity can be expanded to unit train facility of railbitloading and condensate receiving

• Short pipeline opportunities to access local bitumen production

• Exited Louisiana rail to barge terminal project. Maintain flexibility by accessing available 3rd party USGC terminal capacity

• 350 rail car fleet leased for 10 years

• Grizzly is pursuing 3rd party transloading volumes

Grizzly Oil Sands

Grizzly’s Rail Transportation Strategy

• Demonstrate Algar Lake reservoir performance by executing a successful production ramp

• Reduce cost structure by 15%

• Advance the 12,000 bbls/d May River development application

• Resolve shallow SAGD regulatory development application issue

• Continue to establish market for Algar production in USGC and optimize Brent crude pricing.

• Attract third party business for Windell rail terminal
