Exhibit 99.1


Non-GAAP Measures Disclosure
Forward
Looking
Statements
Statements in this presentation which are not historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements
for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements about Magellan and Magellan Petroleum Australia
Limited (“MPAL”) may relate to their businesses and prospects, revenues, expenses, operating cash flows, and other matters that involve a
number of uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Among these risks and uncertainties are the ability
of MPAL, with the assistance of the Company, to successfully and timely close the Evans Shoal acquisition, the likelihood and timing of the
receipt of proceeds from the Young Energy Prize S.A. private placement transaction due to conditions stipulated in the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated August 6, 2010, the ability of the Company to successfully develop a strategy for methanol development, pricing and
production levels from the properties in which Magellan and MPAL have interests, the extent of the recoverable reserves at those properties,
the profitable integration of acquired businesses, including Nautilus Poplar LLC, the future outcome of the negotiations for gas sales contracts
for the remaining uncontracted reserves at both the Mereenie and Palm Valley gas fields in the Amadeus Basin, including the likelihood of
success of other potential suppliers of gas to the current customers of Mereenie and Palm Valley production. In addition, MPAL has a large
number of exploration permits and faces the risk that any wells drilled may fail to encounter hydrocarbons in commercially recoverable
quantities. Any forward-looking information provided in this presentation should be considered with these factors in mind. The Company
assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
Oil and gas issuers are required to include disclosure regarding proved oil and gas reserves in certain filings made with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and
engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and
operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made.  The SEC also permits the disclosure of probable and possible
reserves which are additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in Magellan’s
periodic filings with the SEC available from us at the company’s website www.magellanpetroleum.com
Management believes that EBITDA, the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure indicated by an asterisk (*) used in
this presentation provides investors with important perspectives into the company’s ongoing business performance.  The company does not
intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.  Other companies may define the
measure differently.  We define EBITDA as follows: earnings before the deduction of interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

and
oil
reserves
2.
Add value through unconventional commercial solutions

Cash Forecasts
MAGELLAN’S CASH FORECASTS
“CERTAIN”
ESTIMATED
Magellan’s cash position by end of June 2012 is
expected to be US$27m
This reflects Magellan’s budgeted current
financial commitments and head office
expenses
Magellan’s discretionary CAPEX at the US Poplar
fields is expected to be partially financed via farm-
out
This will have a positive cash impact in an
amount to be negotiated
In addition, the Company is negotiating a new
borrowing base facility of approx. US$30m
The borrowing base will be secured by the
Company’s existing reserves
The size of the facility could be materially
increased when Mereenie
enters into a new gas
sales contract and/or significant additional
reserves were proven at Poplar
Magellan is actively seeking to market the gas
from the Mereenie
field in Australia
Potential renewal with LNG developer in
Darwin could add US$20-30m
per annum

Administratively we will reorganize
Centralized office near assets and field co-owners
Rationalization of dual operator position in the Amadeus Basin

Recent emphasis has been on execution and “proof of concept”
Future efforts will begin to move toward further new development
This will necessitate capital structuring work; including new share issues targeted

China Methanol Market
Coastal
Most of Chinese demand is and will remain coastal
>50% of Chinese demand in East China and South
China allowing for competition from imports
Inland
Majority of coal-based producers in Northern and
Western China are small-scale and inefficient (less
than 130,000 tons)
Inability to compete with low-cost coastal imports
ANALYSIS BY REGION
MTO (METHANOL-TO-OLEFINS)
TRANSPORTATION FUEL
Methanol-based production effectively competing with
naphtha (becoming expensive with rising oil price)
Ability for coal producers to forward-integrate into the
petrochemical chain, where value is generally derived
from methanol to olefins, with polyolefins
as a  means
to monetize olefins production
Integrated and captive market with limited impact on
price. Seen as price-taker where naphtha is setting
prices
Independence, diversification and security of Chinese fuel
supply
Regulation will be required to support growth and
related infrastructures

of today are as follows:
Shallow Judith River gas pressure seen
New Greenhorn Oil Shale (2282’) (Niobrara stratigraphic
equivalent) is oil saturated and contains positive development
characteristics.  Core planned in 2011
Tyler testing impractical due to high mud weights maintained
through the Dakota. New well needed to test at lower mud
weights.
Charles core completed and is currently under analysis. Logs
showed excellent porosity and permeability in the B and C.
Recompletion planned post-Nisku
work.
Nisku
formation penetrated but with high weight water-based
mud.   Relative permeability has been affected.   Currently
producing high water cut but are attempting to draw down
pressure and place packers to isolate water and improve oil cut.
