A Focused Play on the

Caney & Woodford Shales

Oil & Gas Investment Symposium – Small CapsPalm Beach, Florida

8 February 2005

• As a consequence of this success was one of Australia’s top performing stocks in 2004

OFF TO A FLYING START

• Newly formed to exploit conventional formations and unconventional Caney & Woodford Shales in Oklohoma

• IPO in Australia in July 2004 to take advantage of specific investor interest there

• First drilling program of 8 wells produced 100% success rate with surprisingly strong conventional discoveries

• Initial indications from testing Caney & Woodford Shales are highly encouraging – the next Barnett ?

A STRONG & FOCUSED PLAY

• A new 20-25 well drilling program about to commence – Tomahawk 100% working interest owner

• Options to participate as 100% working interest owner on 5,000 acres

• Options to participate 50/50 on further 15,000 acres

• Option to buy local gas gathering system

• Well supported by Australian investors

Snell-Heirs Project

Body Copy font is Verdana set at 32 in white

• Revenue already exceeds administration costs

SUCCESS TO DATE

Snell–Heirs project

• 2 producing wells acquired

• 8 wells drilled to date - all discoveries

• Next 6 wells coming into production over next 4 - 6 months

• First 4 wells producing already circa 1,700mcfg/day

SNELL-HEIRS PROJECT

• Conventional gas play with multiple shallow formations

• Unconventional gas play - Caney Shale & Woodford Shale

• Oil potential in shallow formations

• 100% working interest

• Shallow (4,000 feet) relatively inexpensive wells

• 5 separate options, each to participate in 1,000 acres – potential for up to 125 wells in coming years

DRILLING ON SNELL-HEIRS PROJECT

Body Copy font is Verdana set at 32 in white

THE BUSINESS CASE

• Caney & Woodford Shale similarities to successful Barnett Shale

• Based on stable gas prices not linked to oil price

• Snell-Heirs gas attracts a premium up to 25%, high BTU

• Rapid return on investment

ROBUST PROJECT ECONOMICS

• Successful well drilled, completed and bought into production for <$US.450m

• Offset wells accelerate production

• Completion to production in 120 days

• A 500mcfg/day well @ $US6/mcfg = circa $US.750m annual revenue

• Minimal capex with payback circa 7 months

• Minimal General & Administration costs < $US.400k p.a.

THE NEXT 12 MONTHS

• Continued production from 5 Snell-Heirs wells in production

• Progressively bring the other 5 completed wells into production

• Drill 20 to 25 wells during calendar 2005

• Potential to drill horizontal wells

• Production flow rates will be established on portfolio of up to 30 wells within 12 months
