Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited
Reserve Estimation and Economic Evaluation
This report contains forward looking statements including expectations of future production and capital expenditures. Information concerning reserves may also be deemed to be forward looking as estimates imply that the reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. These statements are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results to differ from those anticipated. These risks include, but are not limited to: the underlying risks of the oil and gas industry (i.e. operational risks in development, exploration and production; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserves estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to production, costs and expenses, political and environmental factors), and commodity price and exchange rate fluctuation. Present values for various discount rates documented in this report may not necessarily represent fair market value of the reserves.
A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 barrel has been used within this report. This conversion ratio is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
No value has been assigned in this evaluation for non-reserve lands.
AJM Petroleum Consultants is pleased to present its independent reserves evaluation report for Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited, effective December 31, 2010, in satisfaction of Part 2 Section 2.1 Item 2 of NI 51-101 and Form 51-101 F2, without reservation.
Yours truly,
AJM Petroleum Consultants

Independent Petroleum Consultants Consent
The undersigned firm of Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluators and Auditors of Calgary, Alberta, Canada has prepared an independent evaluation of reserves and future net revenues derived therefrom, of the Petroleum and Natural Gas assets of the interests of Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited according to the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook. If required, these reserves and future net revenues were estimated using forecast prices and costs (before and after income taxes) according to the requirements of National Instrument 51-101 (NI 51-101). The effective date of this evaluation is December 31, 2010.
In the course of the evaluation, Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited provided AJM Petroleum Consultants personnel with basic information which included land, well and accounting (product prices and operating costs) information; reservoir and geological studies, estimates of on-stream dates for certain properties, contract information, budget forecasts and financial data. Other engineering, geological or economic data required to conduct the evaluation and upon which this report is based, were obtained from public records, other operators and from AJM Petroleum Consultants non confidential files. The extent and character of ownership and accuracy of all factual data supplied for the independent evaluation, from all sources, has been accepted.
A “Representation Letter” dated January 7, 2011 and signed by the President was received from Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited prior to the finalization of this report. This letter specifically addressed the accuracy, completeness and materiality of all the data and information that was supplied to us during the course of our evaluation of Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited’s reserves and net present values. This letter is included within.
A field inspection and environmental/safety assessment of the properties was beyond the scope of the engagement of AJM Petroleum Consultants and none was carried out. The “Representation Letter” received from Ramshorn Canada Investments Limited provided assurance that no additional information necessary for the completion of our assignment would have been obtained by a field inspection.
The accuracy of any reserve and production estimates is a function of the quality and quantity of available data and of engineering interpretation and judgment. While reserve and production estimates presented herein are considered reasonable, and adhere to the COGE Handbook and NI 51-101 (as applicable), the estimates should be accepted with the understanding that reservoir performance subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision, either upward or downward.
Revenue projections presented in this report are based in part on forecasts of market prices, current exchange rates, inflation, market demand and government policy which are subject to uncertainties and may in future differ materially from the forecasts herein. Present values of future net revenues documented in this report do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the reserves evaluated herein.
