No person is authorised to give anyinformation or to make any representation not contained in and not consistent with thisdocument and any such information or representation must not be relied upon and has not beenauthorised by or on behalf of the Company.

This document is given in conjunction with an oral presentation and should not be taken out ofcontext.

In this presentation, the Company has provided information with respect to certain resourceinformation that is based on oil discovery information for lands surrounding its properties whichis "analogous information" as defined applicable securities laws. This analogous information isderived from publicly available information sources which the Company believes arepredominantly independent in nature. However, the Company cannot guarantee that suchinformation was independently prepared. In addition, some of this data may not have beenprepared by qualified reserves evaluators or auditors and the preparation of any estimates maynot be in strict accordance with Canadian Oil & Gas Evaluation Handbook. Regardless, estimatesby engineering and geo-technical practitioners may vary and the differences may be significant.The Company believes that the provision of this analogous information is relevant to theCompany's activities, given its acreage position and operations (either ongoing or planned) in thearea in question, however, readers are cautioned that there is no certainty that any of thedevelopment on the Company's properties will be successful to the extent in which operationson the lands in which the analogous information is derived from were successful, or at all.

Barrel of oil equivalent ("BOE") amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. ABOE conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet ofnatural gas to one barrel. This conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to onebarrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burnertip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

In this presentation, the Company has referred to OOIP, meaning original oil in place and originalgas in place, respectively, which are hereinafter collectively called "discovered petroleuminitially-in-place". Discovered petroleum initially-in-place is the quantity of petroleum that isestimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. Therecoverable portion of discovered petroleum-in-place includes production, reserves andcontingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. A recovery project cannot be defined forthese volumes of discovered petroleum initially-in-place at this time. There is no certainty that itwill be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. Additionally, in respect ofthe prospective resources disclosed in this presentation, there is no certainty that any portion ofthe resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commerciallyviable to produce any portion of the resources.

By attending this presentation and/or accepting a copy of this document and/or any relatedmaterials, you agree to be bound by the foregoing provisions, limitations and conditions and, inparticular, you have represented, warranted and undertaken that: (i) you have read and agree tocomply with the contents of this disclaimer including, without limitation the obligation to keepthe information given at the presentation and this document and its contents confidential; and(ii) you will not at any time have any discussion, correspondence or contact concerning theinformation given at the presentation and/or in this document with any of the directors oremployees of the Company or its subsidiaries nor with any of its suppliers, or any governmentalor regulatory body without the prior written consent of the Company.

COPL / Shoreline Joint Venture

COPL / Shoreline Joint Venture

Structure• Joint venture partnership with Shoreline Energy International Limited (“Shoreline”), a conglomerate with interests

across sub-Saharan Africa including interests in oil & gas and power generation

• JV will acquire assets through a special purpose vehicle registered in Bermuda, called Shoreline CanOverseasPetroleum Development Corporation Limited (“ShoreCan”)

• COPL and Shoreline each hold a 50% interest in ShoreCan

• Shoreline’s interest in OML 30 in Nigeria and COPL’s interest in LB-13 in Liberia are outside of the JV

Rationale & Strategy • The JV allows COPL to progress its stated strategy, offering exposure to a greater spread of highly value accretive

assets and opportunities, while minimising risk and capital requirements for shareholders

• The JV will acquire upstream oil & gas exploration, development and producing assets in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as gas to power projects to monetize hereto stranded natural gas

Assets• To date, ShoreCan has taken positions in Tanzania and Namibia, and continues to evaluate a variety of assets in

Nigeria, Ghana, and Mozambique amongst other countries

Namibia: Blocks 1708, 1709, 1808• 80% interest acquired in three

offshore blocks: 1708, 1808, and 1709

• Shorecan’s interest has been ratified by the Ministry of Energy in Namibia

• The blocks are located north of the Walvis ridge on the Namibian/Angolan border at the southern end of the Namibe Basin

• Namibe Basin is the conjugate basin to the Santos Basin

16

Namibia: Blocks 1708, 1709, 1808

• Organic matter raining down onto sea floor is not oxidized in “anoxic” environments

• Anoxic environment preserved organic muds that later became source rock shales –particularly in “yoked basins”

• Blocks 1708, 1709, 1808 are located within the Namibe “yoked basin” – conjugate basin to prolific Santos basin

million on 3D seismic, legal general costs

JV Terms • ExxonMobil paid $127m in costs• COPL carried by ExxonMobil for:- $120m of gross drilling costs- All other JV costs capped at $1m run off until 100% of all drilling costs have been completed

LB - 13 Prospect Overview*

21

Geology• Seismic has identified a deep water Turonian to Lower Campanian Turbidite

Channel/Fan complex

• Basic and Advanced Seismic AVO techniques indicate the potential presence of hydrocarbons in multiple zones over an area of 180 sq. km

• Encouraging slumping features seen around the pinchout points on many of the channels and fans - Strong similarities to other turbidite sand reservoir oil fields offshore Angola, where

slumping has created a seal

• Continental slope less steep towards Sierra Leone and towards the south- Could imply lower clay content in the sediment - Also helpful when forming the pinchout point

Detailed Technical Work• Used Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI)technology

- More advanced than traditional AVO technology- Allows different aspects of the rock, whether this be rock type (lithology), porosity,

fluid content, saturation to be seen

• Work has demonstrated that the block holds a number of channel features and fans which tie in with EEI anomalies associated with “sand” lithology, and with “oil” fluid content

• Extinction event – low O2 in oceans• Rapid drowning of West African Transform

Margin created ideal conditions for Cenomanian source rock beds

• Cenomanian is the primary source rock interval – very rich

• Creation of transform margin basins as well as onshore river systems led to large turbidite fan/channels complexes in deep water in late Cretaceous

• Continued subsidence and extension resulted in deposition of sealing shales
