• First mover advantage in securing unequalled acreage position in what is now the world’s top exploration spot

– 300,000 sq km or 74.1 million acres gross

• Four separate petroleum systems

• Four separate petroleum systems proven to contain multi-billion barrels in surrounding countries

• At the crossroads for infrastructure buildup in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, Ethiopia)

• Major oil companies now scrambling to gain a foothold position

Farmout Campaign Essentially Completed

• Tullow enters core Tertiary trend and brings Uganda expertise and funding of initial exploration program

• Marathon deal brings in another solid partner and allows Africa Oil to focus financial resources on core blocks

• Additional deals (Horn, Afren, New Age, Red Emperor) bring in funding and help spread risk in frontier blocks

• Still looking for minor partners in Ethiopia Adigala/Ogaden and Puntland blocks

Rig #1: Weatherford 804 – 3 firm slots

‒ Drilled Ngamia discovery well (Block 10BB)

‒ Currently drilling South Twiga well (Block 13T)

‒ Plan to continue drilling “string of pearls” in Lockichar Basin with Kongoni as next target

− Will likely move to shallow Block 10BB targets afterward

Rig #3: OGEC 75 – 1 firm, 2 contingent slots

− Plan to spud Sabisa by year end (South Omo block)

− Will likely stay in South Omo or Block 10BA region next year

• Tullow considering mobilizing additional rigs on success case

1 This summary table was prepared by Company management for the convenience of readers.

2 Please refer to the Company’s press release dated August 22, 2012 for details of the prospective and contingent resources by prospect and lead, including the geologic chance of success.

4 Risked resources have been calculated and summed by the company after risking prospects and leads individually. Geological Chance of Success (GCOS) varies with each prospect or lead.

5 Due to the very immature nature of these Prospective and Contingent Resources, net estimates have not been computed as net entitlement volumes under the PSAs/PSCs. In this regard the

volumes stated herein will exceed the volumes which will arise to AOC under the terms of the PSAs/PSCs.

5 Net Prospective Resources are stated herein in terms of the Company’s net working interest in the properties. Due to the very immature nature of these Prospective and Contingent Resources, net

estimates have not been computed as net entitlement volumes under the PSAs/PSCs. In this regard the volumes stated herein will exceed the volumes which will arise to AOC under the terms of the

PSAs/PSCs.

8There is no certainty that any portion of the Prospective Resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is not certainty that the discovery will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the

resources.

Opportunity Summary

• Africa Oil has the best onshore acreage position in East Africa, the world’s hottest exploration location

• The Ngamia discovery has opened up a new oil basin which has the potential to be one of the world’s largest

• Strong partnerships are in place to aggressively move exploration and potential development ahead

27

and potential development ahead

• Additional rigs are being mobilized to accelerate the drilling campaign which will see 10 – 12 high impact exploration wells drilled by the end of 2013

• The goal of this drilling program is to evaluate new plays and sub-basin areas and establish commercial development parameters
