Argentina : Right place, right time

8

President is in the right place at the right time to expand

as a recognised and experienced Operator in Argentina with

the latest acquisition giving the Company a platform for

growth in the world class Neuquen Basin

Companies now in the Neuquen Basin include Exxon

(through XTO), Shell, Total, Statoil, Chevron,

Wintershall, BP (through Pan American), Petronas

and Dow

Politically attractive

o Mid term election consolidates the business friendly path

o Economic growth rebounding strongly as recent reforms

gain traction and exports strengthen

o Domestic market hungry for hydrocarbons, still importing

o Macri ministry subsidising industry and encouraging

production by fiscal subsidies

• As a recognised Operator in Country,

President is in an excellent position to

become a mid-size producing company

by end 2018

• President has a 35 year long Production

Concession at its Puesto Guardian

Concession, Salta.

• In the Neuquen Basin President is to

partner with the Rio Negro Province

own energy company

• Majors disposing of non-core

conventional producing assets to

concentrate on shale.

• President intends to act as a

consolidator of such of these as

appropriate

NOTE – (i) In the unlikely event that ratification of extension to licence not granted then after a period of grace, Concession licence reverts to Province with President retaining all benefit and liabilities to that point but released from obligation to pay the US$15 million for the extension and all deferred payments. All movable assets purchased from Chevron are President’s in any event. (ii) In such event President, whilst continuing to operate the Concession, would enter negotiations with the Province for a new long term licence.
