Operational Overview<br />

• Management’s Focus & Strategy:<br />

Grow the Company into a diversified international producer<br />

with strategic oil and gas assets in Africa that deliver<br />

significant upside potential for shareholders.<br />

• Liberia - Converting onshore Reconnaissance Licence to a<br />

Production Sharing Agreement (PSA)<br />

• Company’s 1 st asset is a licence extending over an area of 1,366<br />

sq.kms and covers the entire onshore extent of sedimentary basin<br />

known as Robert-Bassa Basin.<br />

• Final approval and signed PSA expected by mid February.<br />

• Recently applied for PSA on ‘Block 3’ in Mali<br />

• An asset already w/ +$10 million USD of seismic and exploration<br />

since 2007 covers 22,500 sq. kilometers in an identified basin w/<br />

excellent drill site targets already established.<br />

• A successful application will employ advanced passive seismic<br />

techniques to compliment and strengthen decisions on known drill<br />

targets.<br />

• Advancing on PSA applications for both onshore and offshore<br />

assets in Ghana.


The rush for oil exploration<br />

in West Africa<br />

• Anadarko Petroleum to begin<br />

drilling an exploration well<br />

offshore Liberia early in 2011<br />

• Anadarko Petroleum<br />

announced major discoveries<br />

offshore Sierra Leone (Venus,<br />

fall 2009, Mercury Sept. 2010)<br />

• Chevron granted three<br />

deepwater concessions<br />

offshore Liberia, exploration<br />

to start 4 th quarter, 2010<br />

• Major oil discovery in Ghana<br />

is about to begin production in<br />

2010 (Jubilee)<br />

Largely unexplored region with billion barrel potential fields already<br />

discovered (Venus & Mercury off Sierra Leone, w/ Jubilee off Ghana)


Liberia onshore licence<br />

• First onshore Hydrocarbon<br />

Reconnaissance Licence<br />

NR-001 in Liberia<br />

• Over 1,366 sq. kms entirely<br />

covered by the onshore<br />

extent of the Robert-Bassa<br />

Sedimentary Basin<br />

• Early in 2010 Company<br />

conducted extensive satellite,<br />

airborne and gravity<br />

reinterpretations of previous<br />

data<br />

• Company is converting its<br />

Reconnaissance Licence into<br />

a PSC with the National Oil<br />

Company of Liberia (NOCAL)


Liberia onshore licence<br />

• During January 2010,<br />

<strong>Simba</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> supervised<br />

an exploration team of<br />

geology students from the<br />

University of Liberia to<br />

carry out an extensive<br />

survey over the most<br />

prospective portions of<br />

<strong>Simba</strong>’s licence area<br />

• 15 oil seeps found on all<br />

traverses explored<br />

covering an area of<br />

approximately 125 sq.kms<br />

• Each sighting had<br />

numerous oil seeps in<br />

close proximity<br />

The high volatile oil associated with the seeps is a positive indication of mature oil. The onshore basin is<br />

either deep enough to have temperature and pressure levels capable of maturation or migration has come<br />

from offshore sediments.

studied oil seeps<br />

Liberia onshore oil seeps<br />

Seeps were identified and quantified on the following observations:<br />

•Often there was kerosene smell (description of a hydrocarbon smell or stink)<br />

•The hydrocarbon present is very volatile and was only seen entering fresh pits.<br />

• Generally seeps were found in quiet water as their identifier features are better<br />

preserved.


Mali – Block 3 Application<br />

• Formally submitted application<br />

for a Production Sharing<br />

Agreement (PSA) on ‘Block-<br />

3’ in Mali w/ “AUREP” -<br />

L'Autorité pour la Promotion<br />

de la Recherche Pétrolière au<br />

Mali (The Authority for the<br />

Promotion of Oil Research<br />

in Mali).<br />

• Block 3 covers over 22,500<br />

sq. kms centrally located in<br />

the very large Taoudeni<br />

Basin.<br />

• Over the past few years,<br />

Eni S.p.A (Italy) conducted<br />

extensive satellite, airborne,<br />

gravity, 2D Seismic<br />

interpretation of new and<br />

previous data<br />

The Taoudeni Basin is the largest<br />

under explored basin in West Africa!
