leads on the 2.2 million acre, Block 1711, offshore Namibia, including a
mean estimate of 3.166 billion barrels of potentially recoverable oil.
The report was prepared by independent oil and natural gas reservoir
engineers Netherland Sewell and Associates Inc. of Dallas, Texas, and is
available on SEDAR and the EnerGulf website.
-- Negotiated to increase the Company's interest from 10% to 15% and
continues as interim Operator.

qualified industry potential participants, on behalf of the Government
of Namibia.
Lotshi Block
-- Commissioned and completed a prospective resource estimate for the 505
sq. km., Lotshi Block, Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"), including a
mean estimate of 313 million barrels of potentially recoverable oil, of
which Energulf owns a 90% working interest. The report was prepared by
DeGolyer and MacNaughton (D&M), an independent international petroleum
consulting firm located in Dallas, Texas. It is available on SEDAR and
the EnerGulf website.
-- Prepared and secured a rig for a 2-3 well drill program.
-- Constructing a school and medical clinic on the block for the local
communities per the terms of the Production Sharing Contract ("PSC").
-- Marketed the Lotshi block for qualified participant(s). The Company
entered into negotiations with various potential participants but has
not finalized an acceptable agreement.
Moving forward, EnerGulf continues to market Block 1711 to qualified industry
co-venturers that could provide successful operating and investment capability.
Following the appointment of a new operator, a 3-D seismic program will be
conducted to enhance the overall understanding of the geology of the block and
assist in identifying the best drill targets for the 2013 exploration season.
EnerGulf now plans a Lotshi Block, 3-4 well drill program for the next dry
season and will continue to market the opportunity to potential farm-in
participants. The PSC from the DRC remains in good standing. The Company will
announce an appropriate financing when market conditions permit.
