2012 Industry Challenges


2013 Corridors Status


N.A. Supply/demand more balanced; N.A. pricing improving & higher N.E. premiums Offset by N.E. premiums & infrastructure advantages Industry wide; N.B. Govt indicates local support for gas development; industry needs gas supply in N.B. Offset by higher netbacks & infrastructure advantages, growing demand Corridor has sustainability, no debt and significant potential upside Corridor has sustainability, no debt and massive high-impact prospects that offer advantages to potential partners Requires sustainability & retention of licenses and strategic advantages

Prolonged low N.A. natural gas pricing cycle created by supply overhang Dry gas resource plays currently more challenging to farm out Challenging environmental & social acceptance issues for oil/gas industry Eastern Canadian resource plays face high cost and lack of maturity Junior oil & gas companies under significant market pressure Numerous N.A. J.V. opportunities on market for potential partners creating intensive competition for available capital Resource plays the size of Corridors prospects require significant capital resources and time to mature in order to demonstrate value potential

Corridor N.B. Assets


Corridors New Brunswick gas assets connected to M&NP with access to premium N.E. markets and Repsols LNG facility in N.B. Premium netbacks due to strong basis differential. Q1 2013 netback averaged $7.35/mmbtu, and premiums for gas in Maritimes & N.E. expected to be strong for foreseeable future Existing cash flow allows Corridor sustainability, while sourcing partners Potential for LNG Export terminal at Repsols Canaport LNG facility optimum East Coast option significant arbitrage potential and 10 BCF storage Potential for LNG export terminal at Goldboro (Pieridae Energy Proposal) Ability to source additional opportunities in the region

Oil and Gas Disclosure The term "boe" refers to barrels of oil equivalent. All calculations converting natural gas to crude oil equivalent have been made using a ratio of six mscf of natural gas to one barrel of crude equivalent. Boes may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six mscf of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil equivalent is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

Disclaimer, (contd)
Resources Disclosure
"discovered resources" is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered petroleum initially-in-place includes production, reserves, and contingent resources; the remainder is unrecoverable. "total petroleum initially-in-place" or "PIIP" refers to 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 equivalent to "total resources. "undiscovered resources" refers to those quantities of petroleum that are estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place is referred to as prospective resources, the remainder as unrecoverable. Undiscovered resources carry discovery risk. There is no certainty that any portion of these resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. A recovery project cannot be defined for this volume of undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place at this time. Resources do not constitute, and should not be confused with, reserves. Actual reserves and resources will vary from the reserve and resource estimates, and those variations could be material. There is no certainty that it will be economically viable to produce any portion of the resources. The resources assessment referred to in Slides 3 and 14 was completed by GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. effective June 1, 2009 setting forth certain information regarding discovered resources of Corridor's interests in the Frederick Brook shale formation. The best estimate is the value that best represents the expected outcome with no optimism or conservatism. GLJ subsequently reviewed the pertinent data collected between June 1, 2009 and December 31, 2012 in the upper part of the Frederick Brook formation, and made no changes to the original estimates as at December 31, 2012. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of these discovered resources. The reserves estimates referred to in Slides 8 and 14 was prepared by GLJ dated February 28, 2013 with an effective date of December 31, 2012 and a preparation date of February 28, 2013 setting forth certain information relating to certain natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids reserves of Corridor properties, specifically the McCully Field and the Caledonia Field, and the net present value of the estimated future net reserves associated with such reserves. The resources assessment, referred to in Slides 3 and 16 was prepared by Sproule Associates Limited effective June 1,2011 setting forth certain information regarding total petroleum initially-in-place of Corridors interests in the Macasty shale formation on Anticosti Island. The best estimate reflects the probability that the quantity actually in place is equal to or greater than the estimate is 50%. Sproule subsequently reviewed the pertinent data collected between June 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012, and has made no changes to the original resource estimates provided in the Sproule Anticosti Resources Report. These resources are reported as Bboe to reflect uncertainty of hydrocarbon type across the island. A recovery project cannot be defined for this volume or undiscovered resources. There is no certainty that any portion of these resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any of these resources. For further information on Corridor's resources and reserves, see the Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012.
