Namibia – The Next Oil Frontier

• Exploration of the South Atlantic Margin Basins in offshore

Namibia

• Over 42,000 km2 of highly prospective oil and gas

exploration rights

• High Resolution Technology (HRT) - world’s leading

offshore petroleum exploration and environmental team:

predicted the following discoveries: Tupi, Jupiter, Guara,

Iara, Carioca, and Parati

Brazil and Namibia are on opposite margins

of the South Atlantic

• Common geological history and similar petroleum system

style

• Three recent giant discoveries reported in deeper horizons

within the Santos Basin, Brazil:

• Tupi (Oil and Natural Gas)

• Carioca (Oil and Natural Gas)

• Jupiter (Natural Gas and Condensate)

• Combined, the above discoveries represent the world’s

largest find since the 1970s!


Universal

Properties


Block 1711 – Possible 14 TCF Discovery


• Kunene # 1 well drilled and cased to 5,050 m

• PetroAlliance (a subsidiary of Schlumberger) estimates that

the 4,698 m - 4,748 m interval could contain 14 TCF (NOTE:

this estimate is NOT compliant with NI51-101)

• The Hartmann prospect is estimated to contain 2,704 million

barrels of oil or 14,064 BCF of gas (unrisked base case from

Netherland Sewell estimates, as at Sept ’06 (Energulf))

• 2.7% carried interest held by Universal

• Other Holders include:

• Sintez LLC/Nikor (70% working interest)

• PetroSA (10% working interest)

• EnerGulf Resources (10% working interest)

• Namcor (7% carried interest)

• License extended on April 5, 2010 for an additional 2 years

• Extension requires the drilling of one well


• Situated on the boundary between the Luderitz

and the Orange Basins

• In proximity to Tullow’s proven Kudu Gas field,

which consumes most of Block 2814C

• Large features mapped on blocks 2713A and 2815

• Adjacent to blocks currently being explored by

PetroBras, and Petro SA. Also proximal to Shell’s

recent South African deepwater 37,000 km2

exploration license

• Existing 2D seismic has been purchased and

interpreted, with 3D seismic planned in Q4/10-

Q1/11

• Will be looking to secure farm-out partners in

Q3/10

Blocks 2713 A&B & 2815



Blocks 2813A, 2814B & 2914A

• Contiguous blocks cover an area of 15,382 km2 (1,538,200

hectares)

• Universal holds a 40% working interest – other partners

include:

• HRT Oil & Gas - 40% working interest

• Acarus Investments (Proprietary) Ltd - 20%

participating interest

• Partnership with HRT O&G provides:

• Access to the world’s leading geoscientists on the

South Atlantic Margin

• Accelerated data gathering, interpretation and mapping,

resulting in a quicker farm-out process

• Reduced net capital exposure

• Proven techniques to economically optimize the quality

of the data assembled in deriving a definitive drilling

location

• Comprehensive technical interpretation that will

increase likelihood of partnerships with major oil

companies:

• Better farm-out terms

• More wells drilled


Regional Picture

• Land addition locks up all blocks bordering Kudu,

except to the immediate north

• Interpretation is that Kudu’s hydrocarbon-

charged reservoir is an Aolian sand (ie. sand

dunes)

• Oil extracted from Kudu wells prove two

separate source rocks regionally present

• Oil slicks identified throughout the area, including on

new blocks

• High quality 2D and 3D trade seismic available

• To-date, 2170 kms of 2D seismic purchased &

interpreted

• 3D seismic acquisition planned

• Adjacent to blocks currently being explored by

etroBras, and Petro SA. Also proximal to Shell’s

recent South African 37,000 km2 deepwater

exploration license

• Will be looking to secure farm-out partners in Q3/10

What is Driving Our Current Investigations?

Maximizing the Probability of Success

• The Probability of Success (POS) on a well is a function of four variables:

• Reservoir: a proper host with adequate permeability and porosity to allow for the

accumulation and outflow of hydrocarbons.

• Trap: faulting or closed structure lead to the hydrocarbon halting its migration.

• Source Rock: need a mature source, expulsion sequence and migration timing. In

addition, the trap must predate the migration.

• Seal/Preservation: need a sealing zone, which is often a shale sequence. Seal

formation must also predate source rock migration.

• Technical expertise is a fifth element:

• HRT/IPEX: significant and successful experience in the South Atlantic Margin, using

investigative techniques that have proven additive to the POS.

The main risks : in Walvis and Luderitz the main risk is Charge (maturation and pathways); while in Orange it is trap (stratigraphic) .

The proximity of the pod of geration is critical and the concentration of migration pathways.

Summary of Potential Seepage Slicks Interpreted

With Radarsat-1 And Envisat Archived Images


Conclusions on Probability of Success

• Reservoir: sediment deposition moves from onshore to offshore (east to west), and

the sediment quality volume is high, meaning reservoir characteristics in deeper water should

be very good. Confirmed in well data and interpreted on seismic

• Trap: clear from seismic that trap preceded source rock migration and maturation. Trap

also evident on seismic

• Source Rock: source rocks in the south Atlantic margin are prolific. Two source

rocks confirmed in Namibia. Oil slicks and oil samples extracted from the nearby Kudu gas

field and oil stains in all offshore wells confirm presence of mature source rock and

hydrocarbon generation

• Seal/Preservation: shale sequence is very thick in the deeper waters (in excess

of 200 meters)


Universal’s Strategy

• Near-Term:

• Complete our Services Agreement with IPEX, setting the stage for the establishment of a data

room:

• Investigate the availability of reasonable farm-out terms

– Look for partners that help mitigate the company’s at-risk capital exposure

– Continue to pursue scientific methodologies/expertise that will maximize the probabilities of success

• Set forth further work programs that will add to the already strong empirical evidence

• Intermediate-Term:

• Balance the company’s risk profile

• Look for undercapitalized assets to exploit.

– Not an abundance of juniors in west Africa

» There are many small properties that could be optimized using modern

drilling/fracing/stimulation/enhanced recovery techniques

– Goal is to create other operating areas, using eventual free cash flow (from high ROR projects) to fund

the company’s other growth initiatives

– Other benefits of asset acquisitions include: improved and more flexible capital structure, a growing

hard net asset value, free cash flow, and portfolio diversification

• Long-Term:

• Create a company that is delivering highly economic growth, and doing so with a prudent

allocation of capital that delivers superior economic returns and growth


2010 Milestones

• Receive IPEX analysis and commence a data room process

• Engage independent reserve engineers for a NI51-101 certifiable resource

• D&M currently contracted to provide resource estimates specific to EL 2713A

• Finalize and execute work programs for Fall 2010 & Winter 2011 campaigns

• Make further additions to Senior Management

Significant and progressive changes to executive team and directors

Secured PEL 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A blocks, partnering with HRT

Relocated head office from Vancouver to Calgary, Alberta

Sintez renewed PEL 1711 for additional 2 years. UNX thus carried on

forthcoming 2-year program in following up on the encouraging results from the

Kunene #1 well

Appendix


Summary of HRT O&G

HRT O&G is an oil and gas company based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HRT

Participações em Petróleo S.A. (“HRTP”). The HRT O&G team is lead by Dr. Marcio Mello, who founded HRT Petroleum

in 2004 after a very successful 24-year career at Petrobras, which included a 17-year span running the technical centre

of excellence of Petrobras-CEGEQ. From 2004 until mid-2009, Dr. Marcio Mello was the CEO of HRT Petroleum, which

was strictly a geologic consultancy company with the biggest geoscientific lab in the southern hemisphere. Over the

years, the HRT team has gained global recognition for their expertise in building fully-integrated 3-D compositional

petroleum system basin models, putting full use of investigative techniques based on geochemistry, biostratigraphy,

seismic interpretation, structural geology, oceanography, and biology, in its efforts to reduce exploration risk. The HRT

team is credited, among their many accomplishments, with predicting hydrocarbon presence in the pre-salt of Brazil's

Santos basin, which led to the giant Carioca and Tupi oil discoveries. The services offered by HRT Petroleum continue to

exist, through Integrated Petroleum Expertise Co. (IPEX), which is now another wholly-owned subsidiary of HRTP .

Universal has a Services Agreement with IPEX on blocks 2713 and 2815 and expects the work contained in the

agreement to be completed in June, 2010.
