Legal Notice This investor presentation contains certain forward-looking statements, including statements about Suncor's

growth strategy and expected future production, operating and financial results that are based on Suncor's current expectations and assumptions. The forward-looking statements, identified by words such as “targets”, “estimates”, “anticipated”, “plans”, “vision”, “strategy”, “opportunity”, “projected” and “objectives”, are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ materially as a result of risks, uncertainties and other factors, such as changes in general economic, market, regulatory and business conditions; fluctuations in commodity prices and currency exchange rates; the successful and timely implementation of capital projects; the accuracy of cost estimates and uncertainties resulting from potential delays or changes in plans, among others. See Suncor's current Annual Report and other documents Suncor files with securities regulatory authorities for further details, copies of which are available from the company. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof and Suncor undertakes no duty to update these statements to reflect subsequent changes in assumptions (or the trends or factors underlying them) or actual events or experience.

Certain financial measures referred to in this presentation, namely return on capital employed (ROCE) and cash flow from operations, are not prescribed by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For a reconciliation, see pages 58, 76 and 77 of Suncor’s 2007 Annual Report.

A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas: one barrel of crude oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Accordingly, boe’s may be misleading if used in isolation.

Unless noted otherwise, financial information is for the most recent quarter or year end.

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted

Suncor Energy at a Glance Integrated energy company – upstream, refining and

marketing, pipelines and wind power Market capitalization about $45 billion Original and single largest investor in the

Athabasca oil sands – 40 years experience Best growth rate in the oil sands industry:

current production capacity of 260,000 bpd plan to increase capacity by 35% to 350,000 bpd in 2008 plan to increase capacity by 57% to 550,000 bpd in 2012

More than 6,500 employees Sustainability: benefiting all stakeholders

Suncor’s VisionFocus on growth & delivering value

“To be a unique and sustainable energy company, dedicated to vigorous growth by meeting or exceeding the changing expectations of our current and future stakeholders.”

Increase production to more than 1/2 million barrels of oil per day in 2010 to 2012

Create long-term shareholder value

Oil Sands - the Resource Thick, sticky mixture of sand,

water and bitumen Suncor leases cover close to

2,000 square kilometers or about 1,200 square miles

Remaining recoverable resources in place to produce a potential 15 billion* barrels of crude oil

* Suncor data includes proved plus probable reserves and contingent resources, as of December 31, 2006 which is not comparable to most competitors.

presented on a gross basis evaluated as at December 31, 2006.

2006 remaining recoverable resources

“Remaining recoverable resources” is the total of reserves and contingent resources. The term “resources” refers to a best estimate of remaining recoverable resources, which is the sum of proved plus probable reserves and best estimate “contingent resources”, presented on a gross basis as barrels of synthetic crude oil converted from barrels of bitumen. “Contingent resources” are Suncor’s independent reserve evaluators’ best estimate of resources they consider to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations under reasonable economic and operating conditions for areas of our oil sands deposits not classified as reserves. These areas are not classified as reserves due to the absence of a firm plan to develop within a reasonable time frame and due to higher uncertainty as a result of lower core-hole drilling density. As U.S. companies are prohibited from disclosing estimates of probable reserves for non-mining properties and resources for oil and gas or mining properties, Suncor’s resource estimates will not be comparable to those made by U.S. companies. For a description of constant cost and pricing assumptions used to evaluate the proved and probable reserves included in our resource estimate, and a description of our reserves under U.S. reporting requirements, see pages 35 to 38.of Suncor’s 2006 Annual Report.

Suncor StrategyTo provide greaterreliability and flexibility to ourfeedstock supplies, we producebitumen through our own miningand in-situ recovery technologies,and supplement that supplythrough third party agreements.

We produce conventional natural gas as a price hedge against the cost ofenergy consumption.

Our investments in renewable wind energy and biofuels are a key part of Suncor’s climate change action plan.

A staged approach to increasing our crude oil production capacity allows Suncor to better manage capital costs and incorporate new ideas and new technologies into our facilities.

Suncor takes an active role in connecting supply to consumer demand with a diverse portfolio of products, downstream assets and markets.

More consistent High end performance, Over 30% of all operators are meeting or exceeding performance standard

Since 2005, we have doubled the amount of operators able to meet the standard

An additional 10% increase will yield an additional 30 Mt/year

Tire life initiatives

A cross-functional group - operations, technical, maintenance, and SCM personnel with initiatives on 3 fronts:

1) Technical Oriented Initiatives: Working with manufacturer’s to improve the tire technology (targeting failure areas) Using Dispatch to monitor TKPH ratings on our tires Purchasing tires specifically designed for our current mining world (C4 compound) Communication – Tire CBTs, poster campaigns, one-on-one talks Sharing of best-practices with LTUG (represents about 20 mining companies in NA)

2) Supply Oriented Initiatives: Working with manufacturer’s to increase our deliveries Purchasing used tires Purchasing bias-ply tires

3) Operational Oriented Initiatives: Increasing contractor tonnages Trialing other trucks (with tires) Support Equipment Additions Responsible loading and responsible driving practices
