Corporate Presentation September 2011

Forward Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which are statements other than of historical fact, such as information regarding drilling potential and production forecasts. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include exploration and development risks, commodity prices and operating hazards. A barrel of oil equivalent (boe), derived by converting gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil, may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. This slide is limited as to space in order to be readable if projected. Please review detailed risks and limitations statements at the end of this document.

Forward Looking Information and Statements The information in this presentation contains certain forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "approximate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "targeting", "intend", "could", "might", "should", "believe", "would" and similar expressions. These statements involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Corporation’s control, including: the impact of general economic conditions; industry conditions; changes in laws and regulations including the adoption of new environmental laws and regulations and changes in how they are interpreted and enforced; fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange and interest rates; stock market volatility and market valuations; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations; uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves; competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions, of reserves, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel; incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions; changes in income tax laws or changes in tax laws and incentive programs relating to the oil and gas industry ; geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other difficulties in producing petroleum reserves; and obtaining required approvals of regulatory authorities. The Corporation’s actual results, performance or achievement could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such forwardlooking statements and, accordingly, no assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur or, if any of them do, what benefits that the Corporation will derive from them. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and may be based on assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. The Corporation’s forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking information and statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date hereof, and the Corporation assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required pursuant to applicable laws. Except as required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forwardlooking statements. Investors are encouraged to review and consider the additional risk factors set forth in the Corporation's Annual Information Form which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Oil and Gas Disclosures All amounts in this presentation are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. In accordance with Canadian practice, reserve and similar volumes and production volumes and revenues are reported on a gross basis, before deduction of royalties, unless otherwise stated. Where applicable, natural gas has been converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") based on 6 Mcf:1 BOE. The BOE rate is based on an energy equivalent conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalent at the wellhead. Use of BOE in isolation may be misleading. This presentation may also contain references to Original Oil-In-Place (‘OOIP”) and Original Gas-In Place (‘OGIP”) (collectively "PIIP“) and the term "recoverable", which are not and should not be confused with references to oil and gas reserves. PIIP is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations. It includes that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations, prior to production, plus those estimated quantities in accumulations yet to be discovered. PIIP is comprised of Discovered PIIP and Undiscovered PIIP Discovered PIIP is that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production; therefore, the estimates may differ materially from estimates prepared in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (“COGE Handbook”) and National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”). *Analogous Information Certain information in this document may constitute "analogous information" as defined in National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI 51-101"), including, but not limited to, the reservoir data, resource estimates, production and decline rates and economics information relating to the areas in geographical proximity to exploratory lands held by Madalena or other shale plays in development in North America. Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. Management of Madalena believes the information is relevant as it helps to define the reservoir characteristics and the reserves and production potential in which Madalena holds an interest. Such information includes resource estimates using categories such as Original Oil-In-Place and Original GasIn Place which are not derived from the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGE Handbook") and have therefore not been prepared in accordance with NI 51-101. Madalena is also unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor. Such information is not an estimate of the resources attributable to lands held or to be held by Madalena and there is no certainty that the reservoir data, resource estimates, production and decline rates and economics information for the lands held by Madalena will be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by Madalena may be in error and/or may prove not be analogous to the lands be held by Madalena.
