About Taman

Taman, a private Alberta Canada company, owns 8% of the South Temryuk Oil & Gas Exploration-Exploitation Licence located in the mature Azov-Kuban petroleum region of southwest Russia (the "Project"). Taman owns its interest in the Project through its 8% interest in Techniton LLC, a Russian private company, which owns 100% of the Project; covering an estimated 4,000 hectares. Taman, via its interest in Techniton has a formal participation, option and purchase agreement to govern the option and rights to revenues from the production from the Project. Taman has a right to earn an additional 20% of the Project by purchasing an additional 20% equity interest in Techniton for an aggregate purchase price of $2 million or $1 million for each 10% allotment. To date, Taman has paid an aggregate of $250,000 to Techniton for the purchase of the first additional 10% equity interest in Techniton.

The Project is situated four kilometres south of the community of Temryuk (Krasnodar Krai Russia), located between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The Azov-Kuban petroleum basin region is a mature oil and gas producing region with ready access to both pipelines and ocean tankers. The South Temryuk license is sandwiched between two mature producing oilfields, the Kurchanskoye and the Strelchanskoye; controlled by the major petroleum company Rosneft. Reports indicate that estimated historical production from Kurchanskoye is 80 million barrels (mmb) of oil and 170 billion cubic feet (bcf) of natural gas, while Strelchanskoye production estimates are 30 mmb oil and 30 bcf natural gas.

In March 2008, well 'ST-1' was drilled on the Project to a depth of 3,840 metres, targeting priority geophysical anomalies which are the projected equivalents to regional production horizons. The well confirmed the presence of the main Sarmat oil horizon and also discovered the deeper Chokrak gas condensate horizon. Proposed near term work will re-evaluate well ST-1. Additionally, the Project has a number of other untested geological-geophysical targets which offer future exploration targets.

Azov-Kuban Petroleum Basin

The Azov-Kuban Petroleum Basin encompasses about 161,000 square kilometers northeast of the Black Sea, in both southeast Ukraine and southwest Russia. In June 2011, the U.S. Geological Survey, using a geology-based assessment methodology, estimated mean volumes of technically recoverable, conventional, undiscovered petroleum resources at 218 million barrels of crude oil, 4.1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 94 million barrels of natural gas liquids for the Azov-Kuban Basin (USGS Fact Sheet 2011-3052). Note that this estimate is for the basin as a whole and does not address the economic recoverability of these estimated resources.

In addition, the Corporation would like to also announce it has granted 100,000 stock options to a consultant. Each option is exercisable at $0.30 per common share at any time until November 5, 2017.
