Potential in Existing and Underexplored Basins

• Access opportunities early in the exploration and development value chain

• Development first – exploitation based value creation, cash flow generation

• Exploration second – higher risk, higher return, greater impact

• Area of Focus – Africa

• Many under-explored basins with attractive fiscal terms, wide range of deal sizes, mature areas becoming non-core for existing players

• Political risks out-weighed by the scale of the reward

• Major oil province with infrastructure, development opportunities

• Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) going through House and Senate

• Intended to restructure the industry, increase indigenization

• Smaller fields expected to receive better fiscal treatment – Exile positioned to take advantage of this

• Next licensing round expected to provide opportunities, possible to bring these opportunities on-stream within two years

Strategic Partnership – Akepo Project

• Exile enters License as technical partner, April 2007

• Completed sub-surface reviews, EIA, site survey and re-entry engineering work for Akepo-1st

• Partnership between Sogenal (Operator), Oando and Exile:

• Completed further engineering site survey for rig move

• Completed engineering design for re-entry program on Akepo-1st using Nigerian project management company (Havilah)

• Contracted Noble Lloyd Noble rig, started work early December 2009

• Re-entered well and drill stem tested three zones:

• Lowermost D6 sand tested at 1,200 barrels of 43 degree API oil per day through a 20/64 inch choke, low Gas/Oil ratio (GOR).

• D1 sand tested at 1,170 barrels oil per day of 23 degree API oil through a 20/64 inch choke with low GOR, and the

• C1 sand tested at 570 barrels oil per day of 20 API oil through 20/64 inch choke with low GOR.

Progress at Akepo Continues

•Akepo-1st completed as a two string multiple completion

•Gravel packs to control sand production, produce on two strings from two of the three zones (the third zone selective on one of the strings)

•Akepo-1st was successfully flow tested from the D6 sand at 1,789 barrels oil per day with good flowing wellhead pressures

•Engineering reviews of the test data suggest that the well can produce at stable rates between 2,500 and 3,000 barrels oil per day

•This would imply 200 to 240 barrels oil per day net to Exile (pre-tax and production costs) during the cost recovery phase

Exploration Potential at Akepo – Prospect A

• Prospect A, north of Akepo

•Similar in size and sand distribution to Akepo (unrisked)

•Offers easily accessible, low-cost, upside exploration opportunity within the existing License area

•Could easily be tied into infrastructure for development

• Probabilities of Success in the area are estimated to be between 1:2 and 1:3

• Expect to use cash flow from Akepo (net to Exile) for new E&P opportunities,

Zambia – Diversifying in Africa

• Large southern African country, under-explored

• Only two exploration wells drilled, neither reaching their target

• Exile reviewed data, applied for and was awarded Block 26 in the northeast of the country

• Existing seismic data acquired in the previous exploration campaign (Placid and Mobil, 1980’s)

• Targeting review of existing data and cost effective geochemical surveys to establish potential for oil and gas
