Cautionary Notes Forward-looking Statements This document contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities legislation (collectively “forward-looking statements”). The use of any of the words “being”, “will”, “until”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “will be”, “is considering”, “will proceed”, “plans”, “reactivate”, “recommence”, “would be”, “could be”, “will bring”, “could bring”, “expected”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. The Company believes the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. This document contains forward-looking statements and assumptions pertaining to the following: business strategy, strength and focus; the granting of regulatory approvals; the timing for receipt of regulatory approvals; geological and engineering estimates relating to the resource potential of the Properties; the estimated quantity and quality of the Company’s oil and natural gas resources; supply and demand for oil and natural gas and the Company’s ability to market crude oil, natural gas and; expectations regarding the ability to raise capital and to continually add to reserves and resources through acquisitions and development; the Company’s ability to obtain qualified staff and equipment in a timely and cost-efficient manner; the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to obtain mining permits and access rights in respect of land and resource and environmental consents; the recoverability of the Company’s crude oil, natural gas reserves and resources; and future capital expenditures to be made by the Company. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in the document, such as the speculative nature of exploration, appraisal and development of oil and natural gas properties; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas resources; changes in the cost of operations, including costs of extracting and delivering oil and natural gas to market, that affect potential profitability of oil and natural gas exploration; operating hazards and risks inherent in oil and natural gas operations; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; market conditions that prevent the Company from raising the funds necessary for exploration and development on acceptable terms or at all; global financial market events that cause significant volatility in commodity prices; unexpected costs or liabilities for environmental matters; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of resources, skilled personnel, and access to equipment and services required for exploration, development and production; changes in exchange rates, laws of New Zealand or laws of Canada affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; and other factors. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Statements relating to “reserves and resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described can be profitably produced in the future. The forward-looking statements contained in the document are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. These statements speak only as of the date of this document and the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained in this document, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. More information is available in the Company’s Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on June 17, 2013 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Reserve & Resource Estimates The oil and gas reserve and resource calculations and net present value projections were estimated in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGEH”) and National Instrument 51-101 (“NI 51-101”). The term barrels of oil equivalent (“boe”) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six Mcf: one bbl was used by NZEC. This conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on: the analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical, and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates. Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. Revenue projections presented are based in part on forecasts of market prices, current exchange rates, inflation, market demand and government policy which are subject to uncertainties and may in future differ materially from the forecasts above. Present values of future net revenues do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the reserves evaluated. Information concerning reserves may also be deemed to be forward looking as estimates imply that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. These statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results to differ from those anticipated. Contingent resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. Prospective resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations. Undiscovered resources means those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The resources reported are estimates only and there is no certainty that any portion of the reported resources will be discovered and that, if discovered, it will be economically viable or technically feasible to produce. More information is available in the Company’s Form F1-101F1 Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information dated April 2, 2014, which is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Copper Moki/Waitapu Development
Current Status
• Copper Moki-1, Copper Moki-2 and Waitapu-2 producing on rod pump.
• Copper Moki-3 shut-in (sand) - pending down hole pump repair
• Jan-2015 average rates were 27, 47 and 20 bopd for CM-1, CM-2 and W-2 respectively. No significant water.
Observations
• Copper Moki-1 and Waitapu-2 in good pressure communication. No clear evidence of communication with Copper Moki-2 or Copper Moki-3.
• Expected recovery from existing depletion drive mechanisms 10-15% of OOIP. Implementing water flood could increase recovery to 25-40% of OOIP.
• Assuming CM-1/W-2 15% primary recovery of 230,000 bbls the incremental oil associated with a water flood could be 150,000 – 380,000 bbls.
17
Copper Moki Water Flood Proposal
Strategy
Increase oil production rate and recovery factor by introducing a water flood to the Copper Moki 1 /Waitapu-2 reservoir;
• Expect recovery factor to increase by 10-30%
• Increase production from Copper Moki with gas piped by existing pipeline to WPS
• Eliminates requirement to install Waitapu-2 gas pipeline (~$800,000 savings)
Proposed Work Program
Workover and complete Waitapu-2 for water injection
Install water injection facility at Waitapu
Estimated cost to undertake this exercise1
NZ$0.5m

TWN Tikorangi Limestone Upside Potential
Current Status
• Intermittent flow due to ineffective artificial lift mechanisms.
• Jan 15 average 105 bopd with 256 bwpd
• Six wells available for production (N-1,N-2A,N-3,T-2B,WH-1,W-6A)
• One well available for water disposal (W-7A)
Observations
• Complex fractured reservoir system
• Long standing belief that by-passed oil exists in low permeability fracture systems. Un-swept oil could exist in pockets or be distributed across the whole structure.
• Up-dip oil may exist but structural uncertainty, possibility of a gas cap and rapid water breakthrough changes risk profile.
• Drilling option appropriate if targeting up-dip oil but of little or no value in targeting by-passed oil.
• Oil recovery has been almost entirely associated with aquifer movement. If aquifer can be “out run”, depletion drive mechanism is expected to mobilize stranded oil.
20
Tikorangi Development Proposal
Strategy
Increase total liquid production to 12-16,000 bpd with objectives being;
• Restore normal decline trend for primary oil recovery.
• Attempt to outrun aquifer, reduce reservoir pressure below historic low and mobilise stranded oil.
Work Program stage one1
Run ESP in Waihapa-6A (based on Schlumberger gas lift analysis, pressure available for gas lift is insufficient to make good use of existing mandrels).
Recomplete an existing well to Matemateaonga formation for 2nd water disposal well.
Work Program stage two
Ngaere-1 and Ngaere-2A artificial lift to be finalised which could include a further ESP or jet pumps.

Strategy is to
mobilise oil by
reducing reservoir
pressure below
historic low
(~1994).
Enhanced recovery
potential depends
on level of
pressure depletion
achieved.
