This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which are statements other than of historical fact, such as information regarding drilling potential and production forecasts. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include exploration and development risks, commodity prices and operating hazards. A barrel of oil equivalent (boe), derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This slide is limited as to space in order to be readable if projected. Please review detailed risks and limitations statements at the end of this document. Forward Looking Statements

Attractive netbacks during periods of high and low world oil prices resulting from low operating costs and low royalties In 2008 the Argentina Government announced the “Gas Plus” and “Oil Plus” Plans to encourage oil and gas exploration and production, significantly improving future netbacks from new discoveries and tight gas discoveries November 20, 2009, media press release that Argentina Government will announce a revised Gas Plus program enabling producers to sell natural gas at US$4-5 per MBTU 100% of Madalena’s oil and gas production will qualify for Gas and Oil Plus programs Well established Madalena corporate structure in Argentina with experienced international team ARGENTINA – OVERVIEW (Continued)
The information in this presentation contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "approximate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe", "would" and similar expressions. These statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, including: the impact of general economic conditions; industry conditions; changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility and market valuations; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions, of reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry ; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other difficulties in producing petroleum reserves; and obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities. The Corporation’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements and, accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur or, if any of them do, what benefits that the Corporation will derive from them.

Forward Looking Information and Statements
All amounts in presentation are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. In accordance with Canadian practice, reserve and similar volumes and production volumes and revenues are reported on a gross basis, before deduction of royalties, unless otherwise stated. Where applicable, natural gas has been converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") based on 6 Mcf:1 BOE. The BOE rate is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalent at the wellhead. Use of BOE in isolation may be misleading. This presentation also contains references to "PIIP" and the term "recoverable", which are not and should not be confused with references to oil and gas reserves. PIIP is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. PIIP is comprised of Discovered PIIP and Undiscovered PIIP Discovered PIIP is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production All references throughout this presentation referring to oil and natural gas reserves and production rates have been obtained from the National Secretary of Energy of Argentina and are stated as proven plus probable reserves. The estimates of proven plus probable reserves have not been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") or National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") and the Corporation cannot confirm whether such estimates have been prepared by a person who meets the definition of a "qualified reserves evaluator" in NI 51-101; therefore, the estimates may differ materially from estimates prepared in accordance with the COGE Handbook and NI 51-101.
