About Taman

Taman, a private Alberta Canada company, owns 8% of the South Temryuk Oil & Gas
Exploration-Exploitation Licence located in the mature Azov-Kuban petroleum
region of southwest Russia (the "Project"). Taman owns its interest in the
Project through its 8% interest in Techniton LLC, a Russian private company,
which owns 100% of the Project; covering an estimated 4,000 hectares. Taman, via
its interest in Techniton has a formal participation, option and purchase
agreement to govern the option and rights to revenues from the production from
the Project. Taman has a right to earn an additional 20% of the Project by
purchasing an additional 20% equity interest in Techniton for an aggregate
purchase price of $2 million or $1 million for each 10% allotment. To date,
Taman has paid an aggregate of $250,000 to Techniton for the purchase of the
first additional 10% equity interest in Techniton.


The Project is situated four kilometres south of the community of Temryuk
(Krasnodar Krai Russia), located between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The
Azov-Kuban petroleum basin region is a mature oil and gas producing region with
ready access to both pipelines and ocean tankers. The South Temryuk license is
sandwiched between two mature producing oilfields, the Kurchanskoye and the
Strelchanskoye; controlled by the major petroleum company Rosneft. Reports
indicate that estimated historical production from Kurchanskoye is 80 million
barrels (mmb) of oil and 170 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas, while
Strelchanskoye production estimates are 30 mmb oil and 30 bcf natural gas.


In March 2008, well 'ST-1' was drilled on the Project to a depth of 3,840
metres, targeting priority geophysical anomalies which are the projected
equivalents to regional production horizons. The well confirmed the presence of
the main Sarmat oil horizon and also discovered the deeper Chokrak gas
condensate horizon. Proposed near term work will re-evaluate well ST-1.
Additionally, the Project has a number of other untested geological-geophysical
targets which offer future exploration targets.


Azov-Kuban Petroleum Basin

The Azov-Kuban Petroleum Basin encompasses about 161,000 square kilometers
northeast of the Black Sea, in both southeast Ukraine and southwest Russia. In
June 2011, the U.S. Geological Survey, using a geology-based assessment
methodology, estimated mean volumes of technically recoverable, conventional,
undiscovered petroleum resources at 218 million barrels of crude oil, 4.1
trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 94 million barrels of natural gas
liquids for the Azov-Kuban Basin (USGS Fact Sheet 2011-3052). Note that this
estimate is for the basin as a whole and does not address the economic
recoverability of these estimated resources.
