Terms to which a meaning is ascribed in NI 51-101 have the same meaning in this form. 1 2. The report on reserves data referred to in item 2 of section 2.1 of NI 51-101, to be executed by one or more qualified reserves evaluators or auditors independent of the reporting issuer, shall in all material respects be as follows: Report on Reserves Data To the board of directors of [name of reporting issuer] (the "Company"): 1.

The reserves data consist of the following:are estimates of proved reserves and probable reserves and related future net revenue as at [last day of the reporting issuers most recently completed financial year], estimated using forecast prices and costs.

The reserves data are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the reserves data based on our [audit] [evaluation] [and review]. We carried out our [audit] [evaluation] [and review] in accordance with standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook") prepared jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum (Petroleum Society). 1 For the convenience of readers, Appendix 1 to Companion Policy 51-101CP sets out the meanings of terms that are printed in italics in sections 1 and 2 of this Form or in NI 51-101, Form 51-101F1, Form 51-101F3 or the Companion Policy.
- 2 - 3. Those standards require that we plan and perform an [audit] [evaluation] [and review] to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the reserves data are free of material misstatement. An [audit] [evaluation] [and review] also includes assessing whether the reserves data are in accordance with principles and definitions presented in the COGE Handbook. 4. The following table sets forth the estimated future net revenue (before deduction of income taxes) attributed to proved plus probable reserves, estimated using forecast prices and costs and calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent, included in the reserves data of the Company [audited] [evaluated] [and reviewed] by us for the year ended xxx xx, 20xx, and identifies the respective portions thereof that we have [audited] [evaluated] [and reviewed] and reported on to the Company's [management/board of directors]: Location of Independent Reserves Qualified Description and (Country or Net Present Value of Future Net Revenue Reserves Preparation Date of Foreign (before income taxes, 10% discount rate Evaluator or [Audit/ Evaluation/ Geographic Auditor Review] Report Area) Audited Evaluated Reviewed Total Evaluator A xxx xx, 20xx xxxx $xxx $xxx $xxx $xxx Evaluator B xxx xx, 20xx xxxx xxx xxx xxx xxx Totals $xxx $xxx $xxx $xxx 2 5. In our opinion, the reserves data respectively [audited] [evaluated] by us have, in all material respects, been determined and are in accordance with the COGE Handbook. We express no opinion on the reserves data that we reviewed but did not audit or evaluate. 6. We have no responsibility to update our reports referred to in paragraph 4 for events and circumstances occurring after their respective preparation dates. 7. Because the reserves data are based on judgements regarding future events, actual results will vary and the variations may be material. However, any variations should be consistent with the fact that reserves are categorized according to the probability of their recovery. 2 This amount should be the amount disclosed by the reporting issuer in its statement of reserves data filed under item 1 of section 2.1 of NI 51-101, as its future net revenue (before deducting future income tax expenses) attributable to proved plus probable reserves, estimated using forecast prices and costs and calculated using a discount rate of 10 percent (required by section 2 of Item 2.2 of Form 51-101F1).
