This presentation does not constitute an admission document relating to the Company nor does it constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to purchase or subscribe for, or any solicitation of any such offer to purchase or subscribe for, any securities in the Company nor shall this presentation or any part of it, or the fact of its distribution form the basis of or be relied on in connection with, any contract therefor. No reliance may be placed by any person for any purpose whatsoever on the information or opinions contained in this presentation or on the completeness, accuracy or fairness thereof. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given by or on behalf of the Company, its shareholders, directors,

This presentation does not constitute a recommendation regarding any decision to sell or buy securities in the Company. If any person is in doubt as to the contents of this presentation, or wishes to obtain advice as to the investment merits of the Company’s securities, he should seek independent advice from a person who is an authorised financial services provider. All statements (other than statements of historical fact) included within this presentation, including without limitation, the strategies, plans, expectations and
- bjectives of the Company, and the markets and economies in which it operates, are forward-looking statements. A variety of factors could cause the actual results
and expectation to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. These statements are illustrative
- nly and do not amount to any representation that they will be achieved as they involved risks and uncertainties and relate to events and depend upon circumstances
which may or may not occur in the future and there can be no guarantee of future performance. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements in this presentation may include (but are not limited to) reserve and resource estimates and targets and production rates which involve an assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, by the companies in which the Company has invested or the operators of projects in which the Company has invested (together “investee companies”). There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of reserves and resources and in projecting future rates and volumes of production and the timing and quantum of development expenditures. The total amount, rate or timing of actual future production may vary from reserve, resource and production estimates, projections and targets. Those forward-looking statements represent the internal projections, estimates or beliefs of those investee companies and their advisers and have not been independently verified by the Company. This presentation is not for distribution in, nor does it constitute an offer of securities for sale in, any jurisdiction where such distribution or offer is unlawful.

Competent Person’s Statement (Mining) The information contained in this presentation in relation to the Company’s mining projects has been reviewed and approved by Howard Baker, Technical Director of Alba Mineral Resources Plc. Mr Baker is a Chartered Professional Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Membership Number 224239) and a Competent Person as defined by the rules of International Reporting Codes that are aligned with CRIRSCO. Mr Baker has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration targets, Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’, also known as the JORC Code. The JORC code is a national reporting organisation that is aligned with CRIRSCO. Competent Person’s Statement (Oil & Gas) The technical information contained in this presentation in relation to the Company’s oil & gas investments has been reviewed and approved by Feroz Sultan (B.Sc (Hons) Geology, M.Sc, Petroleum and Structural Geology, Karachi and M.Sc Petroleum Geology, Imperial College London), a petroleum geologist with over 45 years' experience in the management, exploration, development and production of oil and gas. Footnotes to Oil & Gas Slides (Slides 24 to 28) Footnote 1 Estimated OIP hydrocarbon volumes should not be construed as recoverable resources or reserves and also should not be construed in any way to reflect potential producibility of hydrocarbons from the formations evaluated. Footnote 2 There can be no guarantee that forecast, targeted or calculated rates of production or oil recoveries will be achieved. Actual rates of production and recoveries will depend upon actual reservoir performance over time. Footnote 3 Forecast potential HH-1 vertical rate per preliminary analysis by HHDL’s consultants Xodus Group ("Xodus") of flow and pressure data indicating that, subject to successful further HH-1 Portland vertical well optimisation, the well is capable of achieving a forecast initial 24/7 pumped rate of an estimated 362 barrels of oil ("bopd").
