Prospective Resource Estimates Cautionary Statement

As the Rex well has not been drilled there are no Discovered Reserves nor Contingent Resources to report.

The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery, as well as a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a commercial quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
