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

                       NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR

ROC is very pleased to advise that Mr Bruce Clement, the Company's Chief
Operating Officer, will be appointed as an Executive Director of the Company,
effective 1 July 2007.

Mr Clement, who joined ROC in 1997, has more than 25 years experience in the
international oil and gas business. While at ROC, Mr Clement has sequentially
held the positions of Commercial Manager, Chief Financial Officer and Chief
Operating Officer. Prior to joining ROC, Mr Clement worked for Exxon and Ampolex
as well as financial entity AIDC. Mr Clement, 50, holds a double degree (BSc and
BEng) from The University of Sydney and a MBA from Macquarie University.

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

'It is a pleasure to welcome Bruce as an Executive Director, all the more so
because he has been a stalwart of ROC from its earliest days when it was a small
private company with few assets other than a handful of dedicated staff. During
his time with ROC, Bruce, has applied his characteristic high work ethic and
impeccable integrity, to a wide variety of challenges ranging from pure
corporate finance to overseeing large engineering projects, such as the Cliff
Head Development. That is an unusually broad skill set in this industry and ROC
is fortunate that it will now be able to access it at Board level.'
