Encana Corporation Leading North American energy producer Diverse natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids portfolio

EWL Management Limited Wholly owned subsidiary of Encana Corporation EWL manages 5 historical mine properties on Encana’s behalf Properties were acquired by Enacana through a corporate acquisition (Conwest Exploration) in 1996 Conwest mining assets were all divested except for: Dyno, uranium, ceased operations in 1960 Madawaska, uranium, ceased 1982 Greyhawk, uranium, ceased operations in 1959 Coldstream, copper, ceased operations in 1967 Gordon Lake, nickel, ceased operations in 1972 Responsibilities/liabilities ultimately rest with Encana through EWL

Perpetual Management – EWL’s Objectives Ensure Regulatory Compliance - CNSC License Conditions, provincial mine and environmental regulations Remediate sites to long term stable, low risk to public safety and environment Minimize Encana’s EWL Asset Retirement Obligation Secure and maintain CNSC financial assurance Manage Encana’s Reputational Risk Minimize Liability to the Maximum Extent Possible

Perpetual Management – Our Approach Understand the problem – soil, water, air, mine hazards Develop long-term solutions Obtain regulatory concurrence and approval, as required Implement the solution Monitor and report Adjust if and as required Ensure regulatory compliance throughout the process

Perpetual Management – Challenges Inappropriate/inadequate initial closure Lack of mine records, drawings or plans Absence of a corporate memory Complicated pre-acquisition corporate history Historical adjacent land development/management did not consider mine site Uncertain closure end points (initially) Imprecise ultimate financial liability estimate (initially) Uncertainty
