26. Cautionary and Forward Looking Statements Advisory
Underground Energy Corp. (Underground Energy) is a British Virgin Island holding company that owns Underground Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation which is
an exploration and production company focused on unlocking oil from shale plays, principally in the Western US. Underground Energy is traded on the TSX
Venture Exchange under the trading symbol "UGE.“
Statements in this presentation contain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively,
"forward-looking information"). Forward-looking information is frequently characterized by words such as "plan", "expect", "project", "intend", "believe", "anticipate",
"estimate" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur. In particular, forward-looking information in this
presentation includes, without limitation, statements with respect to: (i) the closing and closing date of the Company's proposed acquisition of oil and gas leases in
California; (ii) the Company's planned seismic operations to be conducted on such oil and gas leases; and (iii) the prospectivity of such oil and gas leases for oil
and gas and the anticipated drilling, completion and production results therefrom. Readers are cautioned that assumptions used in the preparation of forward-
looking information may prove to be incorrect.
Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such
expectations or assumptions will prove to be correct. In particular, assumptions have been made that: (i) Underground will be able to obtain equipment and
regulatory approvals in a timely manner to carry out exploration and development activities; (ii) Underground will have sufficient financial resources with which to
conduct its planned capital expenditures; and (iii) the current tax and regulatory regime will remain substantially unchanged. Certain or all of the forgoing
assumptions may prove to be untrue.
Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and is subject to a variety of risks and
uncertainties and other factors (many of which are beyond the control of Underground) that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking information. Some of the risks and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-
looking information include, but are not limited to: operational risks in exploration, development and production; delays or changes in plans; competition for and/or
inability to retain drilling rigs and other services; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves, undeveloped lands, skilled personnel and
supplies; risks associated to the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; governmental regulation of the oil and gas industry, including environmental
regulation; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other difficulties in producing reserves; the uncertainty of estimates and projections of
production, costs and expenses; unanticipated operating events or performance which can reduce production or cause production to be shut in or delayed;
incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; the need to obtain required approvals from regulatory authorities; stock market volatility; volatility in market
prices for oil and natural gas; liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; access to capital; and other factors. Readers are cautioned that this list of risk
factors should not be construed as exhaustive.
The forward-looking information contained in this presentation is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Underground does not undertake any obligation
to update or revise any forward-looking statements to conform such information to actual results or to changes in our expectations except as otherwise required by
applicable securities legislation. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information.
BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl has been used and is based on an energy equivalency conversion
method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

27. Notes to Disclosure
1. Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from
undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated
chance of discovery and a chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the prospective resources will be
discovered and, if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of those
resources. Prospective resources are undiscovered resources that indicate exploration opportunities and development
potential in the event a commercial discovery is made and should not be construed as reserves or contingent (discovered)
resources. Prospective resources in this presentation are reported on an unrisked, company interest basis.
2. The reserve and resource estimates in respect of the prospective resources for the Zaca Field for Underground were
prepared on October 27, 2011 with an effective date of November 1, 2011 and prepared in accordance with COGE
Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101") by a member of
management of Underground who is a "qualified reserves evaluator" as defined under NI 51-101.
3. The "best estimate" is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. In terms of
prospective resources, it is equally likely that the actual quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. In
terms of discovered reserves, the “best estimate” is the combination of the proved plus probable reserves. If probabilistic
methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability that the quantity actually recovered will equal or exceed
the best estimate.
4. The significant positive factors that are relevant to the management's estimate of the reserves and prospective resources
include production in close proximity to the assets and oil and gas shows in wells drilled in close proximity to the assets. A
significant negative factor that is relevant to management's estimate of prospective resources is that seismic attribute
mapping in the areas can be indicative but not certain in identifying resources.
5. Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a
10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible
reserves.
6. The estimates of reserves and resources for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of
reserves and resources for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation.
7. Historical production data for both Zaca and Lompoc is based upon a report titled "California Monterey Reservoir Study
Project", prepared by Spivak, Mannon, Brigham, Surdam, Coombs, and Sageev and dated September 11, 1985 and the
records of the California Division of Oil and Gas and Geothermal Resources obtained by the Company on August 24, 2011.

31. Key California Players
Largest Monterey Shale land holder in the State Ranked #1 in daily oil-equivalent production in
(LA, Ventura and San Joaquin Basins) California in 2011
10-15 exploratory wells per year planned 2011 California operated production of 183,000
through 2015 to test shale prospects, $6.3 billion BOE/D, consisting of 165,000 bpd of crude oil
CAPEX forecast over next four years Primarily operates in the San Joaquin Basin
Monterey Diatomite is the key producer / target
1.2 million acres in Monterey and 520 drilling
targets de-risked for oil-prone shale 74 million barrels of oil produced by operations
development in the San Joaquin Valley in 2007, roughly 32%
of the state’s annual oil production
Spent $1.6 billion on California in 2011 and is
operating 30 rigs– IPs of 300-400+ Predominately steamflood operations in heavy
oil reservoirs (Kern River, Midway-Sunset, Lost
Now producing approx. 139,000 boepd from Hills, Cymric, Coalinga, San Ardo)
Monterey and equivalent Shales
