STRATEGY<br />

Crown Asset Strategy<br />

• Early stage E&P<br />

• Focus on areas which still have high resources potential and are not<br />

over-mature in exploration terms<br />

• Locations must be logistically feasible for Crown to manage<br />

• Investment environments which are small company friendly and not<br />

over-regulated, or with onerous fiscal terms

East Africa Rift<br />

(Lake Albert)<br />

In the early Jurassic (170 mmya) all areas were located on internal rifts in the Gondwanaland<br />

continent. By the early Cretaceous (114 mmya) Madagascar had pulled away and the Orange<br />

Basin had just begun to. Both were subsequently flooded by open marine sediments on top of the<br />

rifts. Lake Albert is currently the site of an active rift, which may eventually become a new ocean.

period)<br />

• 1st period (3 years) acquire a minimum of 500 km2 of new 3D<br />

seismic over AJ Graben<br />

• 2nd period (2 years) negotiable – likely to require drilling one well<br />

• A further two extension periods (each of 2 years duration) are<br />

allowed, subject to agreeing appropriate work programmes for<br />

each period<br />

• Farm-out signed by Thombo with Afren plc in Feb-11<br />

• Afren has a 25% working interest for paying 100% of the<br />

seismic acquisition and US$750,000 cash for back costs<br />

• Afren’s working interest increases to 50% and operatorship<br />

transferred to Afren upon election to drill up to two wells, in<br />

which Crowns equity stake dilutes to 27%<br />

• Outlook - The partners near term work programme involves the<br />

acquisition of 686 km2 of new 3D seismic in Q1 <strong>2013</strong>, ahead<br />

of expected exploration drilling in 2014.<br />

• PetroSA has the right to come in at the development stage for<br />

a paying 10% equity. It has the further right to purchase an<br />

additional 10% interest on commercial terms. Both interests will<br />

Crown Energy Financing Going Forward<br />

• Published on Friday 15 th February the acquisition of a 40,5% equity stake in Block 2B<br />

in South Africa for apprx 48 million SEK<br />

• Financing for the acquisition is planned for by issuing fully secured convertible loans<br />

of total apprx 65 million SEK. Conversion price 10 SEK per share, 3 year loan period,<br />

and with a 10% interest p.a. In case the preferential issue is oversubscribed, there is<br />

an overallotment option for a directed issue of convertible bonds for a maximum of<br />

additional SEK 10 million<br />

– (50% is secured under subscription agreements by main owner and seller of the project and the rest is<br />

underwritten by a consortium of external investors)<br />

• Current shareholder structure<br />

THE SHARE


Tigris Oil – Iraq – Salah Aldeen Region<br />

TIGRIS OIL<br />

• Crown Energy holds a six year option to acquire 100% of Tigris Oil, a company with a<br />

PSA in Salah Aldeen Region in Iraq, next to Kurdistan<br />

• Key Commercial Terms:<br />

– Interest Production Sharing Agreement<br />

– Contractor 60%<br />

– Regional Government 40%<br />

• Exploration Period<br />

– Initial term of 10 years divided in 2 sub periods:<br />

– First Sub Period: 7 years<br />

– Second Sub Period: 3 years<br />

• Development Period<br />

– Commercial Discoveries of (a) Crude Oil, (b) Associated Natural Gas and (c) Non Gas entitles to a<br />

Development Period with a term of:<br />

– 20 years with an automatic right to a 5 year extension


Tigris Oil – Iraq – Salah Aldeen Region<br />

TIGRIS OIL<br />

• Salah Aldeen Region<br />

• Facts:<br />

• Population: Approximately 1,1 million<br />

people<br />

• Area: Approximately 24 000 km<br />

• Capital city: Tikrit<br />

• Largest city: Samarra<br />

• Language: Arabic<br />

• Currency: Iraqi Dinar<br />

Salah Aldeen<br />

Region<br />

• Oil in the region<br />

• 4bn barrels of oil in place in the Hamrin<br />

field<br />

• Probability of billion barrel discoveries<br />

is very high<br />

• Region is heavily underexplored<br />

• May hold over 20bn barrels<br />

• No current production


SUMMARY<br />

Crown Energy Summary<br />

• Limited downside – the farm out interest in South Africa Block 2B underpins<br />

current market cap<br />

• Significant upside potential<br />

– Madagascar onshore – both oil and<br />

gas potential, drilling underway<br />

– South Africa – fully carried 3D seismic<br />

and drilling costs to a value of up to 80 MUSD<br />

– Equatorial Guinea – proven reserves<br />

Prospective Resources (gross, unrisked)<br />

All mapped prospects and leads (oil)<br />

MAX: 5,896 mmbo<br />

MID: 1,682 mmbo<br />

MIN: 592 mmbo<br />

• Experienced and skilled management<br />

• Africa is still underexplored and therefore offers great opportunities for<br />

exploration
