Gary Guidry, Chief Executive Officer of Caracal, said:
"We have invested significant capital over the past two years on appraisal,
development and exploration with positive results. During the first 6 months of
2013 we have been able to test new reservoir horizons at Badila, apply modern
3D seismic techniques over both the Mangara and the Badila developments and
surrounding exploration opportunities, and undertake intensive analysis of the
exploration portfolio opportunities.
We expect significant further progress in the second half of 2013 as we are
currently testing new horizons in the lower Cretaceous E sands at Mangara, and
preparing to spud several new exploration and appraisal wells."
Notes: When compared with the independent report on reserves and contingent
resources with effective date December 31, 2012, prepared in accordance with
the COGE Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 - Reserves Data and Other Oil
& Gas Information ("NI 51-101") (the "COGE Report"), issued on June 28, 2013,
and as included in the Company's final long-form prospectus as dated and filed
with the Alberta Securities Commission on July 2, 2013 (the "Canadian
Prospectus"), the McDaniel Report represents the following percentage increases
as compared to the COGE report: For Gross Lease Reserves: (i) 20% for 1P, (ii)
87% for 2P, and (iii) 74% for 3P; and for Caracal Net Entitlement Reserves: (i)
14% for 1P, (ii) 78% for 2P, and (iii) 58% for 3P.

Notes:
(1) All of the Company's proved, probable and possible reserves have been
classified as light and medium crude oil. The Company has no heavy crude
oil. Based on current market conditions in Chad, neither reserves or
values have been attributed to gas or natural gas liquid volumes.
However, the Company has rights to monetise gas volumes and is currently
discussing and assessing this market potential for the future.
(2) Gross is the total marketable reserves assigned to the Company's

(3) The Government of Chad has elected to acquire a 25 percent participating
interest in the Badila and Mangara EXAs and McDaniel has assumed, for
the purposes of estimating the Company's participating interest in any
future EXAs which may be granted under each PSC, that the Government of
Chad will continue to elect to acquire a 25 percent participating
interest in each EXA. Accordingly, the Company's participating interests
have been assumed to be 50 percent of the gross lease interests.
(4) Net reserves are the Company's share Cost Oil recovery and Profit Oil.
Under the COGE Handbook, using the economic interest method, "Net" as
depicted above is equivalent to "company net" and, in the particular

PRICING ASSUMPTIONS
The forecast cost and price assumptions assume changes in wellhead selling
prices and take into account inflation with respect to future operating and
capital costs. McDaniel has employed the following price and inflation rate
assumptions as of July 1, 2013 where evaluating the Company's reserves data:
Brent Reference Realized Price(1) Inflation Rates(2)

Notes:
(1) McDaniel has assumed a reference price of Brent (in US$) and utilized
the McDaniel July 1, 2013 Price Forecast. The realized price is forecast
to be 95 percent of Brent minus the estimated pipeline transportation
tariff of US$8/bbl and the variable ITA Badila/Mangara and ITA East
Doseo tariffs. The realized price given is the average for all the
properties in McDaniel's 2P case. There is no production history for any
of the PSCs and therefore no realized price is quoted for 2012.

Reserves & Resources - Definitions & Classifications:
Reserves Classification
The oil reserves estimates presented in this report have been based on the
Canadian reserves definitions and guidelines prepared by the Standing Committee
on Reserves Definitions of the CIM (Petroleum Society) as presented in the COGE
Handbook. A summary of those definitions is presented below.
Reserves Categories
Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related
substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given
date forward, based on
· analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data;
· the use of established technology; and
· specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being
reasonable, and shall be disclosed.
Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with
the estimates.
· Proved reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high
degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining
quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
· Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain
to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the
estimated proved plus probable reserves.
· Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain
to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus
probable plus possible reserves. Other criteria that must also be met for the
categorization of reserves are provided in the COGE Handbook.
Development and Production Status
Each of the reserves categories (proved, probable and possible) may be divided
into developed and undeveloped categories:
· Developed reserves are those reserves that are expected to be
recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have
not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (for example, when
compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production. The
developed category may be subdivided into producing and non-producing.
· Developed producing reserves are those reserves that are expected to
be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These
reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously
been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with
reasonable certainty.
· Developed non-producing reserves are those reserves that either have
not been on production, or have previously been on production, but are shut-in,
and the date of resumption of production is unknown.
· Undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from
known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared
to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of
production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves
classification (proved, probable, possible) to which they are assigned.
· In multi-well pools it may be appropriate to allocate total pool
reserves between the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the
developed reserves for the pool between developed producing and developed
non-producing. This allocation should be based on the estimator's assessment as
to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and
completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and
production status.
Levels of Certainty for Reported Reserves
The qualitative certainty levels referred to in the definitions above are
applicable to individual reserves entities (which refers to the lowest level at
which reserves calculations are performed) and to reported reserves (which
refers to the highest-level sum of individual entity estimates for which
reserves estimates are presented). Reported reserves should target the
following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:
· at least a 90 percent probability that the quantities actually
recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves. This category of
reserves can also be denoted as 1P;
· at least a 50 percent probability that the quantities actually
recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable
reserves. This category of reserves can also be denoted as 2P; and
· at least a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually
recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable
plus possible reserves. This category of reserves can also be denoted as 3P.
Additional clarification of certainty levels associated with reserves estimates
and the effect of aggregation is provided in the COGE Handbook.
Contingent Resources Classification
The assessment of the contingent resources in this report were based on the
resource definitions presented in the COGE Handbook Section 5 and are restated
below.
Contingent resources are defined as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as
of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using
established technology or technology under development, but which are not
currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more
contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal,
environmental, political and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. It is
also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered
recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage.
Contingent resources are further classified in accordance with the level of
certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on
project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.
Uncertainty Categories
Estimates of resources always involve uncertainty, and the degree of
uncertainty can vary widely between accumulations/projects and over the life of
a project. Consequently, estimates of resources should generally be quoted as a
range according to the level of confidence associated with the estimates. An
understanding of statistical concepts and terminology is essential to
understanding the confidence associated with resources definitions and
categories. The range of uncertainty of estimated recoverable volumes may be
represented by either deterministic scenarios or a probability distribution.
Resources should be provided as low, best and high estimates, as follows:
· Low Estimate - This is considered to be a conservative estimate of
the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic
methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.
· Best Estimate - This is considered to be the best estimate of the
quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate.
If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent
probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed
the best estimate.
· High Estimate - This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of
the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic
methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.
Contingent Resource Categories
For Contingent Resources, the general cumulative terms low/best/high estimates
are denoted as 1C/2C/3C respectively. No specific terms are defined for
incremental quantities within Contingent Resources.
Prospective Resources Classification
The assessment of the prospective resources in this report were based on the
resource definitions presented in the COGE Handbook Section 5 and are re-stated
below:
Prospective resources are defined as 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. Prospective resources are further subdivided in accordance with
the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their
discovery and development and may be sub-classified based on project maturity.
Uncertainty Categories
Estimates of resources always involve uncertainty, and the degree of
uncertainty can vary widely between accumulations/projects and over the life
of a project. Consequently, estimates of resources should generally be quoted
as a range according to the level of confidence associated with the estimates.
An understanding of statistical concepts and terminology is essential to
understanding the confidence associated with resources definitions and
categories.
The range of uncertainty of estimated recoverable volumes may be represented by
either deterministic scenarios or a probability distribution. Resources should
be provided as low, best and high estimates, as follows:
· Low Estimate - This is considered to be a conservative estimate of
the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic
methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.
· Best Estimate - This is considered to be the best estimate of the
quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate.
If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent
probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed
the best estimate.
· High Estimate - This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of
the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual
remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic
methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that
the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.
