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

                         NOTICE OF CHANGE OF DIRECTORS


ROC advises that Mr Richard Burgess has given notice of his intention to retire
as a Director of the Company effective from the next Annual General Meeting on
Thursday, 10 May 2007.

Commenting on Mr Burgess' retirement, ROC's Chief Executive Officer, Dr John
Doran, stated:

'Dick has been a great ROC Director. He is much appreciated, admired and loved,
not only by people within ROC, but by many other members of the Australian
upstream oil and gas community with which he has been associated for more than
25 years. A former director of Command Petroleum and a founder director of ROC,
Dick's straight talking and clear thinking has been an invaluable part of ROC's
growth story. Fortunately, ROC will be able to retain access to his insights
through his continuing association as an Advisor, in which capacity he will
continue to be an active contributor to future Board meetings.'

ROC is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Dennis Paterson as an Executive
Director effective 23 March 2007.

Mr Paterson joined ROC in October 2006 as President of Roc Oil (China) Company.
He has more than 30 years experience in the international oil and gas business.
For the three years prior to joining ROC, Mr Paterson worked as an independent
consultant for a number of companies, including ROC. From 1995 to 2002, he was
based in Kuala Lumpur, originally as Managing Director of British Gas (Malaysia)
Limited and later as Executive Vice President of Genting Oil and Gas Limited.
Between 2005 and 2006 Mr Paterson was a non-executive Director of Ramco plc. His
previous Directorships include Medusa Oils Limited (1993 - 1997) and Sandpiper
Oil and Gas Limited (1988 - 1990).

Mr. Paterson, 55, is a member of the AAPG, AIPN, PESGB and is a Fellow of the
Geological Society. Mr Paterson holds a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of
British Colombia and an M.Sc. and DIC in Petroleum Geology from Imperial
College, University of London.

Commenting on Mr Paterson's appointment, ROC's Chief Executive Officer, Dr John
Doran, stated:

'The Board is delighted to welcome Dennis as an Executive Director. Prior to
joining the Company on a full-time basis late last year, Dennis intermittently
consulted to ROC for a number of years and has been known to some of us for a
considerably longer period of time; therefore his talents and integrity are well
known to the Company. I have no doubt that, Dennis will add a lot of value to
ROC's technical and corporate thought processes, particularly given his current
role in Beijing.'
