additional 2 years100 km
Maximizing the Probability of Success
The Probability of Success (POS) on a well is a function of the following variables:
Reservoir a proper porous rock with adequate permeability and
porosity to allow for the accumulation and production of
hydrocarbons
Trap the hydrocarbons are buoyant and have to be trapped within
a structural (anticline, fault block) or stratigraphic trap
Source Rock a mature source and timing sequence of migration is also
critical as the trap must predate the migration
Seal Integrity an impermeable sealing zone, often a shale sequence,
which must also predate hydrocarbon migration and retain
integrity over time
UNX also benefits from the depth of experience in the South Atlantic Margin from:
HRT /IPEX significant and successful experience in the South Atlantic
Margin using investigative techniques that have proven
additive to the POS9

What is Our Probability of Success?
Reservoir sediment deposition moves from onshore to offshore
(east to west), and sediment quality volume is high
suggesting reservoir characteristics in deeper water
should be very good. Confirmed in well data and
inferred in seismic
Trap clear from seismic and petroleum model that trap
preceded petroleum migration. Trap also evident on
seismic
Source Rock source rocks in the South Atlantic margin are prolific.
Two source rocks confirmed in Namibia. Oil slicks, oil
samples extracted from the nearby Kudu gas field,
and oil stains in all offshore wells confirm presence of
mature and active petroleum system
Seal Integrity shale sequence is very thick in the deeper water (in
excess of 200 metres) and does not appear breached

Of the Four Basins in Offshore Namibia, the
Orange Basin is of Great Interest and Potential
• Namibia’s only discovery to-date (Kudu), confirms many of the
geologic conditions required for success
• Petrobras farm-in on Chariot, being immediately east of the UXN
2713A Block
• Other oil and gas companies are active in the Orange Basin (Shell,
Tullow, Forest, Gazprom, Petrobras, BHP Billiton, and PetroSA).
• Kudu commercialization initiatives brings options to UNX (and
potential promoting partners) if gas is discovered
• On the shallow water margin, makes a gas discovery much more economic
• Proximity to Orange River is mitigating to POS risk, especially in
categories of seal and reservoir
• Reasonable well control and technical data as the majority of
wells drilled offshore Namibia are located in the Orange Basin
offsetting UNX land holdings
20
UNX Strategy
Near-Term:
• Set-up data room for 2713A, 3D seismic acquisition
• Actively pursue farm out partners for both seismic acquisition and the drilling
of a well
• Implement further work programs, detailing the mapped features and adding
to prospect inventory
•Acquire 3D seismic during the first half of 2011
Mid-Term:
• Balance the Company’s risk profile
• Look for undercapitalized development/exploitation assets
• Continue to look for additional opportunities to add to prospect portfolio
Long-Term:
• Develop a company that delivers high level of economic growth through
prudent capital allocation resulting in superior economic returns
21
