Presents Dolomite Oil Project White Pine County, NV

WHY Dolomite? 80% of Worlds Largest Oil Fields
13 of 17 new fields in US for 2013 80% are 5,000 feet deep 5,000+ Barrels AVG Production Rates 100% Recovery Possible No Fracking Necessary
3
There’s only 14 “Billion Barrel” Oil Fields Ever Discovered in the USA to date Two are located in the Great Basin including, the prized Covenant Field and Noble’s reported 1.4bbl Wilson Project in Elko County, NV The Chainman Basin contains 4,000 feet of organic rich shale on top of Dolomite Horst & Landslide Targets with analogs Grant Canyon, Blackburn and the Covenant oil fields etc

U.S. Department of the Interior 2005 U.S. Geological Survey
Estimates a mean of 1.6 billion barrels of undiscovered oil in Eastern Great Basin Province

Scripps Institute Identifies “Slab Tear along Nevada Rift
In convergent continental margins and tears are geographic coincidences of some giant oil fields. Examples include well known oil fields in Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Western United States, Japan and China. Swan & Keith, AAPG Article #91020©1995

1.8 Billion barrels of oil in place
With an estimated… 1.8 Billion barrels of oil in place
17
Why does Western reasonably expect to find 1.8 Billion barrels of oil?
18
Supporting Evidence… GETECH Maps 4,000 acre attenuated fault trap photo copy of Grant Canyon Field Bakken/Pilot Shale 350+ thick Target Seismic defined 2,700’ thick horst tilted with landslide knoll +4,000 acres aerial extent with 4-way faulted Dolomite Targets AVG 600 barrels per acre foot Well Control maps +4,000’ of Chainman Shale from 500-4,500’ deep at top of Dolomite. Seismic Survey corroborates gravity
19
The Opportunity… $6m Drilling – Vertical + Horizontal = $60,000 per 1% Working Interest 3 Appraisal Wells = $24m Tax-advantaged – 100% of Tax IDC’s Intangible Deductible Costs Drilling Partners enjoy preferential payback
20
Economics? Oil at $50/barrel $8/barrel Production Cost
2,500 barrel/day well $40m annually Estimated Return of Investment – 5 months 17 wells - $600m annually Operations by local experienced hands.
