Corridor Resources Highlights
Atlantic Canadian E&P Company with extensive upside potential & sustainability Three high impact plays at various stages of de-risking
Due to relatively high netbacks, prudent cost control and financialmanagement, Corridor is sustainable through period of low natural gas pricesin N.A.
Commanding land positions with ~1.6 million net acres in Atlantic Canada Licenses for high-impact prospects range from 4.5 to 9 year years
New Brunswick shale gas play has a best estimate of 67 TCF gross discoveredresource in place
Corridors New Brunswick gas assets access existing gas transmission facilitieswhich connect to premium New England gas markets and Repsols under-utilized LNG facility in N.B.
Anticosti shale oil prospect has best estimate of 20 Bboe petroleum in place
(net to Corridor)
Corridors Old Harry offshore prospect is one of the largest identified geologicalstructures (with promising indicators) in Eastern Canada yet to be explored.

Atlantic Canadian Exploration andProduction company with enormousresource potential
Commanding land position of 1.6million net acres in Eastern Canada
Significant upside related to highimpact plays:
- New Brunswick shale gas
- Anticosti shale oil
- Old Harry Prospect
Existing cash flow has allowed Corridorto fund on-going developmentopportunities with no debt drawnthrough period of weak gas prices
Strong team focused on progressinghigh impact plays and maintaining
production at McCully Field

Atlantic Canada Focused
Large, relatively unexplored area withsignificant resource potential
Retain licences for NB core area andmajor prospects
Higher gas netbacks/ existing
infrastructure tied to N.E. market
- premium to Henry Hub ~ $1.00 in
2011 at Dracut, with heat content
premium 6%
Focus on gaining partners for our 3high-impact prospects
Ability to source additionalopportunities in the region

2011 Summary
Completed the Anticosti Resource study by Sproule. Best estimate (Sproule) ofundiscovered Total Petroleum Initially in Place of 34 Bboe oil equivalent (20 Bboenet Corridor)
Drilled Will DeMille O-59 in Elgin, N.B.- Strong gas shows
- Good core results- 8 potential frac intervals
Cash flowed $9MM in 2011; reduced G&A costs and capital program in 2011 inrecognition of low gas pricing period
Filed Old Harry Project Description for Exploration Well in early 2011- Due to multiple and lengthy regulatory processes, Corridor received
extension of drilling window to Jan 2016
Retention of licences in New Brunswick, Anticosti and Old Harry- 1.5 million net acres
Focused on partnering our major prospects; engaged Macquarie to assist withFrederick Brook Shale and Old Harry Prospect

Frederick Brook Attributes
Large, contiguous, high working interest~120,000 net acres
Best Estimate of gross Discovered Resourcesof 67 TCF (GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. FrederickBrook Shale Gas Study 2009)
Frederick Brook shales 900 1,100 m ofgross thickness in a strike slip basin
Deep basin has thickened sediments strong possibility of being highly over-pressured
Will DeMille O-59 well has eight intervals
that are potential frac candidates (core analysisindicates some intervals have exceptional permeabilityand porosity for a shale)
Plan to re-test B-41 (Apache well) in June

Anticosti Island Highlights
1.5 MM gross acres of Macasty (Utica-equivalent) shale held in long-term licenses
Shale is well distributed over the Island
Core analysis shows good porosity andpermeability - thin turbidities and fractures
may enhance permeability Undiscovered Petroleum Initially-in-Place
Best Estimate of 34 Bboe (20 Bboe net toCorridor) Study conducted by Sproule
The Utica has become an exciting oil andgas play in the northeastern US (e.g. presentland valuations are in the $10,000+ per acrerange)
A Schlumberger comparison between theAnticosti Chaloupe #1 well and the OhioOSGS CO2 #1 Utica well indicates thatporosities, permeabilities and hydrocarbonsaturations are very similar

Old Harry Highlights
Opportunity to evaluate one of the largestundrilled geological structures in EasternCanada (43,000 acres/67 sq miles) undersimple four-way closure
Two target horizons: Bradelle and BrionIsland formations
Several direct hydrocarbon indicatorsidentified: satellite seepage slicks,frequency anomalies, amplitude anomalies,and AVO anomalies
Over 1000 km of modern 2-D seismicavailable
Structures aerial extent and potentialreservoir thickness presents hugeopportunity for billion barrel oil or multiTCF gas discovery
Basin Modeling indicates light oil (~55 API)was initially generated and could be fillingthe structure

Old Harry Regulatory Summary
Corridor submitted its Old Harry Exploratory
Drilling Project Description and E.A. to theC-NLOPB in February 2011
C-NLOPB eventually (with Federal Environment
Ministers recommendation) decided that a Strategic
Environmental Assessment (SEA) for NFLD side ofGulf was required; expected to be completed Q1
2013
Corridors Environmental Assessment (EA) anddrilling permits now expected to be processed in2013
Due to lengthy regulatory processes, Corridor wasgranted extension of drilling window (Phase I of
licence) to Jan 2016
The Quebec and Federal Governments signed anaccord in Mar 2011 to jointly regulate the offshoreon Quebecs side of the Gulf
Quebec has completed SEA and is expected todecide on opening sections of Quebec side of theGulf for oil and gas activities in 2013 21
