                         ROC OIL COMPANY LIMITED ('ROC')
                             STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE

                EXTENSION OF RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS ISSUE TIMETABLE

It has come to ROC's attention that there have been difficulties with making
payment under the Rights Issue through the BPay(R) facility.

To allow Eligible Shareholders (as described in the Prospectus dated 1 November
2006) to take up their Entitlements, ROC has extended the closing date for
acceptances and payment under the Rights Issue by two business days to 5.00pm
(AEDT) on Wednesday, 29 November 2006.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and wish to take up your Entitlement, you
should complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form for the number of New Shares
of your Entitlement you wish to acquire, in accordance with the instructions set
out on that form, and:

•   return the completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with your
    cheque or bank draft for the Application Monies drawn on an Australian or
    New Zealand branch of an Australian financial institution made payable to
    'Roc Oil Company Limited Rights Issue' and crossed 'Not Negotiable'.
    Completed Entitlement and Application Forms must be received by no later
    than 5.00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 29 November 2006; or

•   alternatively, make payment through a new BPay(R) facility, details of
    which are:
    Biller Code: 26773
    Biller Name: CIS 100
    Payment by BPay(R) must be received by no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on 
    Wednesday, 29 November 2006. If you make payment by BPay(R), you do not need
    to lodge the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The extension to the closing date means that some of the other remaining key
dates in connection with the Rights Issue have also been extended. The key dates
for the remaining events to occur under the Rights Issue are now as follows:
