Black Rock Oil & Gas PLC Annual General Meeting January 29 th 2007

2006 Highlights Black Rock reported a loss of £1.66m for 2005/6 compared to £1.46m for 2004/5 in line with expectations Raised £2.1m in financial period 2005/6 and a further £3.1m post period in difficult conditions for the AIM market Participated in the drilling and testing of 2 wells –Arce 4 in Colombia which was a successful heavy oil field appraisal –49/8c-4 in the UK Southern North Sea, which although suspended as a gas discovery, had disappointing flow rates Conducted one work over on Arce 2 in Colombia Initiated a long-term steam injection test on the Arce Field after a delay of 6 months due to difficulties with delivery of the steam generator from the USA Resolved dispute with our Colombian operator, Kappa Board of Directors has been restructured and the management team strengthened

2006 Highlights Balanced our portfolio of assets and risks by: –withdrawing from the Northern North Sea high risk, high cost exploration blocks 22/8a, 22/14b and 22/19b –completing our withdrawal from 2 Australian assets and seeking potential buyers for the remaining EP-325 and EP-364 licences –not renewing our offshore Ireland option blocks following technical evaluation –Seeking new low risk exploration and production opportunities that compliment our near-production Colombian and UK assets

Over the past 24 months, Black Rock Oil & Gas PLC has transformed itself from a cash shell to an exploration company with significant potential by: –Adopting a low risk exploration strategy –Farming-in to acreage in South America (Colombia) and UK that meets these criteria. –Creating a balanced portfolio in terms of geographical spread and near-term production with exploration upside –Building an experienced management team to implement this growth strategy Corporate Transformation

New Management Team Tony Baldry MP, Chairman – Member of Parliament for Banbury for over 20 years – Former Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Department of Energy – Jointly oversaw the privatisation of the Electricity Industry – Wealth of experience providing corporate strategic and financial advice Dr John Cubitt, Managing Director – Chartered Geologist – 27 years experience in international oil & gas exploration and production – Specialises in Board level strategic and operational direction, project management and asset evaluation Peter Kitson, Finance Director – Fellow of Association of Certified Accountants – 15 years experience in Oil and Gas with BP and Elf – General Management Experience with, for example, Commonwealth Development Corporation

Corporate Strategy To focus on generating near term cash flow by: –acquiring production or previously non-commercial or undeveloped discoveries –targeting bypassed pay and acreage adjacent to existing producing fields To balance low risk production with high quality exploration projects by: –acquiring exploration acreage in known hydrocarbon provinces –avoiding high risk basins and countries –working with successful operators with established track record and local knowledge/expertise –seeking significant equity interests to materially impact the company and maximise financial flexibility, yet limit risk exposure

Asset Summary 2006 Highlights: Colombia: Middle Magdalena Basin Potential near term cash flow joint venture with Kappa Resources Arce 4 appraisal completed and flowed at 30.5 bopd in July 2006 Arce 2 reworking Arce long-term steam testing in started in 4Q 2006 and is expected to run until 1Q/2Q 2007 Resolution of dispute with Kappa 50 km seismic acquisition on Alhucema

Colombia - Arce Oil Field Discovered 1984, heavy oil at depths of around 3000 feet 4 wells drilled, 30 feet net pay Arce 3 & 4 tested 30 bopd Steam flood is the proven stimulation technology in the region (see: Chicala Field) Increase in recovery of between 3 and 5 times should be expected Steam injection testing in Q4 2006/Q1 2007

Colombia - Arce Oil Field Estimated gross recoverable reserves of 5-10 mmbo Recent remapping suggests significant upward growth in reserves If successful, a development plan should be submitted to Ecopetrol in the summer 2007 and subject to approval Arce could be in production around the end of 2007 Peak production from Arce could reach >3,000 bopd after 3 years

Colombia - Baul Oil Field Baul 3 produced 16,610 barrels of oil from a 14’ sand in Estimated recoverable reserves of 2-3 mmbo of which 1mmbo is contained in the proven 14’ sand Testing in 2007 Discovered 1960, shallow heavy oil, 5 wells drilled, 100’ net pay

Colombia – Exploration Opportunities (1) Las Quinchas Association Contract Prospective block containing a number of opportunities, ranging from shallow heavy oil to light oil targets in the deep Cretaceous * Operator estimated mean reserves –Acacia (50-100mmbo*): heavy oil prospect –Lalinda (10 mmbo*): heavy oil prospect –Rio Viejo/La Tolda (49 mmbo*): light oil, 12,000-18,000 ft target depth –Morroa – another deep Cretaceous play

Colombia - Acacia Este Acacia Este exploration well to be drilled in Q % chance of success Large structure similar to Arce and Chicala mmbbls mean estimated recoverable reserves of heavy oil Shallow prospect at <3500 feet If successful, may require one or more appraisal wells before development Acacia Este prospect

Colombia - Acacia Este Payment for this well completes Black Rock’s farm- in to the Las Quinchas Block and, subject to Ecopetrol’s approval, will confirm our rights to a beneficial ownership of 50% of the Block.

Colombia – Exploration Opportunities (2) Awarded in September 2005 as a result of farm-in agreement with Kappa Similar geology to Las Quinchas – heavy and light oil prospects –Possible extension of Chicala oilfield trend –Northern extension of Morroa lead 50 km 2D seismic acquired in 2H Prospect generation ongoing. Alhucema E&P Contract

Asset Summary 2007 Planned activities: Colombia: Middle Magdalena Basin 50% joint venture with Kappa Energy Arce heavy Oil Field Steam testing in 4Q 2006/1Q 2007 Drilling of low-risk Acacia Este exploration well in Q Access mmbbl potential reserves. Earn farm-in rights to 50% of Las Quinchas Block subject to Ecopetrol approval. Arce Field potentially producing 2H 2007 Testing Baul Field

Asset Summary 2006 Highlights: Drilled 49/8c-4 to test the Monterey gas field Drilling was very successful but technical difficulties during testing meant that flow rates were <1mmscfd Gas was recognised from several zones in the Carboniferous Reservoir quality was slightly lower than 49/8-2 but connectedness was established UK: Southern North Sea Prospective acreage adjacent to existing oil and gas fields 15% interest in Block operated by Wintershall

UK Southern North Sea Significant Carboniferous gas find, discovered 1989 and flowed at 5 mmcf/day Operator estimated mean recoverable reserves of 165 bcf Development possibly as hydraulically fractured horizontal wells and a small platform connected via pipeline probably to Windermere Production possibly by Prospect Stinson, on 49/8c; operator estimated mean recoverable reserves of 147 bcf Monterey Gas Field

Asset Summary 2007 Planned activities: Technical review of 49/8c-4 Undertake dynamic fracture modelling and seismic facies study If the results are favourable, possibly sidetrack or drill new appraisal well (contingent) Implement a development plan in 2007/8 UK: Southern North Sea 15% interest in Block operated by Wintershall

Expectations for 2007 To realise some of the potential the Colombian acreage has to transform Black Rock into a significant independent by completing our farm-in to the Las Quinchas Block To drill and test in Q Acacia Este, a low risk mmbbl exploration prospect in Colombia To generate some cash flow from a steam injection test of the Arce Field in Colombia in Q1/2 and from production in Q Potentially the company could become cash positive in 2008 To have an active drilling programme in 2007 to book net reserves of million barrels of oil equivalent in 2007 from successful development of the Arce oil Field and tests of the Baul Field in Colombia and Monterey Gas Field in the UK To complete a full valuation of our assets To diversify the portfolio of E&P assets in NW Europe and South America To increase the share price and materially increase Black Rock’s market capitalisation
