7 Eagle Ford Shale Play (EFS) A A A The EFS is special because it extends >500km laterally, is geologically predictable, and has an EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH LIQUIDS CONTENT. Although gaseous in the reservoir, the EFS is really an oil field at Sugarloaf, 80% of our revenue comes from liquids. A A Oil Wilcox / e.g.coy City Gas / Cond. A The Oil, Gas / Condensate and Gas Fairways depend on the degree of thermal maturity of the EFS which is also a source rock Austin Chalk can also from a part of the overall EFS reservoir e.g.fashing e.g.pawnee Gas The EFS has high organic content and acts as a source rock. Where it is buried >~12,500 it is more likely to yield gas. 6

8 Fraccing and Production Profiles Conventional vertical wells will not produce from the EFS therefore ~5,000 horizontal wells are drilled into the shale and fracture stimulated stages with water and sand to rubble-ize the zone surrounding the well bore The sand ( proppant ) holds the fractures open and allows hydrocarbon to flow freely to surface where it is produced directly to sales Diagram of an 8 stage multi-stage frac. Production from EFS is characterised by high initial decline rates and hyperbolic decline over many years (30 years ++) - no water. These initial high production rates mean that wells pay out very quickly ~6 months in the SL area Indicative curve only from Petrohaw k 2009 presentation Years 7

For economic assumptions, see Appendix. 10

Program of 29 wells / 3 rigs / $165mm Gonzales County EOG numerous completions IP bopd Sugarloaf AMI Flatonia well currently being drilled by GeoResources (~10km to the SW of PdA) Excellent production results now being achieved along trend to the NE away from the Sugarloaf area Newly drilled wells by Magnum Hunter 362 and 500k BOE EUR. The latter reported as a 1,335 boepd gusher it has substantially de-risked the play towards the NE. Several wells planned for

14 Pan de Azucar (100% / 9.6%) (previously Fayette or Magueyitos) EKA originally held 761 acres 100% Since then, activity has increased significantly on trend with rates as good as Sugarloaf EKA now holds 1,591 gross acres and done a deal with GeoResources which allows EKA to participate in a well for just $0.8mm Success from this well will de-risk EKA s adjacent 100% acres (675 acres) Currently little or no market recognition for EKA s 761 net Pan de Azucar acres factored into the share price Blackjack Springs Unit EKA 9.6% 916 acres EKA 100% 675 acres First BSU well to be drilled 2Q 2011 For location, see previous slide 13

15 Timing of Operations* Year Quarter Ending Dec Mar Jun Sep Dec Sugarloaf Wells 6 7 Pan de Azucar Well 1 Expected no. of Producing Wells (cumulative) * Current best estimate. In practice, timing of operations is subject to change at short notice depending on factors such as Operator changes in priority, leasing practicalities, weather, availability of drilling and frac equipment etc. 14

16 Outlook Sugarloaf The 2011 program is to drill and put onto production up to 13 new wells We will continue to focus on securing acreage by production and converting remaining Possible reserves to 2P Revenue: January $95,000, February $289,000...hereafter will depend on timing of new wells Maximum annual EKA cashflow $65mm in 2017 (Sugarloaf alone - based on NSAI reserves report) Once acreage is secured, Hilcorp operator will focus on efficiencies and cost reduction Pan de Azucar Nearby GeoResources Flatonia well currently drilling results expected soon First EKA well 2Q 2011 With success, a reserves report could be commissioned before year end 15

17 Summary Eureka has a single play focus in the Eagle Ford Shale the best in the world due to its extraordinary liquids content We will drill 13 new wells and can expect to have up to 23 producing wells by year end... We will therefore accumulate solid production revenue during the year At least 80% of that revenue will come from oil With 288 well locations at Sugarloaf alone and a field life of 35+ years the company has a long term future We have booked 3P reserves of 5mmbbls oil + 30BCF gas at Sugarloaf plus significant prospective resources at Pan de Azucar Independent (pre-tax) NPV of Sugarloaf alone at ~US$187mm represents a massive option value on a stock trading at a market cap of ~A$83mm 16
