Kurdamir and Garmian: Resource Table Notes

Notes:

(1) As at September 1, 2014.

(2) As at February 10, 2014 with respect to the Oligocene reservoir and as at February 8, 2013 with respect to the Eocene and Cretaceous reservoirs. Contingent Resources estimates are volumetric estimates prior to economic calculations. However, as a result of the conceptual development plan utilized for the economic calculations, the Best Estimate of Contingent Oil Resources volumes associated with the Oligocene reservoir was reduced from 146 MMbbl to 133 MMbbl to reflect the impact of early gas production and sales to the ultimate oil recovery.

(3) As at February 10, 2014 with respect to the Oligocene reservoir and as at February 8, 2013 with respect to the Eocene and Cretaceous reservoirs.

(4) As at July 1, 2014 with respect to the Jeribe/Upper Dhiban reservoir (below lowest known oil) for the Garmian Block, as at February 8, 2013 with respect to the remainder of the reservoirs.

(5) Working Interest (Gross) Reserves are estimated based on economically recoverable volumes within the development/exploitation period specified in the Garmian PSC.

(6) The classifications shown are Proved (1P), Proved plus Probable (2P) and Proved plus Probable plus Possible (3P). Possible Reserves are those additional Reserves that are less certain to be recovered than Probable Reserves. There is a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the 3P

Reserves. Previously the Company had recognized Block Gross Contingent Resources (oil) of 9 MMbbl on a P90 (low estimate) basis, 21 MMbbl on a P50 (best estimate) basis and 44 MMbbl on a P10 (high estimate) basis that were prepared as at February 8, 2013.

(7) After-tax net present value of future net revenue associated therewith using forecast prices and costs and a 10 percent discount rate. Working Interest Contingent Resources and Prospective Resources estimates used to calculate future net revenue are estimated based on the economically recoverable volumes within the development/exploitation period specified in the PSCs. The estimated net present values disclosed do not represent fair market value.

(8) The Company is in the process of completing conceptual development plans for the additional Prospective Resources on the Kurdamir and Garmian Blocks as well as an economic evaluation of these reservoirs and their associated volumes. The Company, as it continues its delineation of the remainder of the Prospective Resources and prepares conceptual development plans for these Prospective Resources, will complete additional economic evaluations with Sproule.

See “Details of the Offering — Ineligible Holders and Approved Eligible Holders” in the preliminary prospectus.

The Rights may be transferred only in transactions outside of the United States in accordance with Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), which generally will permit the resale of the Rights through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

Listing will be subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV.

There is currently no market through which the Rights may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Rights issued under the final prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Rights in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Rights and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition or disposition of the securities described in this presentation and the final prospectus and the expiry of an unexercised Right may have tax consequences depending on each particular prospective investor’s specific circumstances. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with respect to such tax considerations.

An investment in the Rights offered under the final prospectus or Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights should be considered speculative due to various factors, including the nature of the industry in which the Company operates, the present state of development of its business and the foreign jurisdiction in which it carries on business. The risk factors identified under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking Statements” in the preliminary prospectus or incorporated by reference into the final prospectus should be carefully reviewed and evaluated by prospective investors before purchasing any Rights or Common Shares being offered. See “Plan of Distribution” and “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus.

The Company’s board of directors makes no recommendation to you about whether you should exercise any Rights. You are urged to make an independent investment decision about whether to exercise your Rights based on your own assessment of the Company’s business and the rights offering.

Rights not exercised before the Rights Expiry Time on the Rights Expiry Date will become void and be of no value. If a Shareholder elects not to exercise the Rights issued to it, or elects to sell or transfer those Rights, then such Shareholder’s current percentage ownership in the Company will be diluted as a result of the exercise of the Rights by others. See “Risk Factors - Dilution to Shareholders” in the final prospectus. CDS Participants will have an earlier deadline for receipt of instructions and payment than the Rights Expiry Date.

This rights offering is made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare the preliminary and final prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada.

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation, the final prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein contain certain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information (collectively “forward-

looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable securities laws. 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 “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “project”, “should”, “target”,

“will”, “proposed”, “theory” or similar words suggesting future outcomes or language suggesting an outlook. This presentation, the preliminary prospectus and the documents incorporated by

reference therein contain forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, the following: (i) use of proceeds from the rights offering; (ii) the completion of the rights offering and the

timing of the distribution of the rights and common shares of the Company pursuant to the rights offering; (iii) operational information; (iv) future appraisal and development plans and the

timing, funding and estimated costs associated therewith; (v) management’s beliefs as to phased development; (vi) the intersection of fractures at the Kurdamir-4 well; (vii) testing of the Hasira-1

well; (viii) the interpretation of 3D seismic data; (ix) future production capability and capacity of wells and facilities; (x) facility capacity for oil and gas processing, including estimated capital costs

on the Kurdamir and Garmian Blocks; (xi) estimated commitments and operations under the PSCs; (xii) business plans and strategies; (xiii) future production, production rates, sales and export

possibilities; (xiv) future pipeline development; (xv) plans for increasing or bringing on new production; (xvi) potential additions to contingent resources; (xvii) planned expenditures and

anticipated financing transactions, including the expected timing thereof and proceeds therefrom; (xviii) expectations regarding the Iraqi political system and regulation of the oil and gas

industry; and (xix) expectations regarding the outcome and impact of disputes.

In addition, statements relating to “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the

resources described exist in the quantities estimated or predicted and can be profitably produced in the future.

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which are inherently uncertain, are based on estimates and assumptions, and are subject to known and unknown risks and

uncertainties (both general and specific) that contribute to the possibility that the future events or circumstances contemplated by the forward-looking statements will not occur. There can be no

assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which forward-looking statements are based will in fact be realized. Actual results will differ, and the difference may be material and

adverse to WesternZagros and its shareholders. Forward-looking statements are provided for the purpose of providing information about management’s current expectations and plans relating

to the future. Reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes, such as making investment decisions.

Caution to the Reader (Cont’d.)

Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but rather on management’s current expectations as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, WesternZagros concerning, among other things, matters relating to the rights offering, outcomes of future well operations, completion of planned financing transactions and the ability to obtain all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals in connection therewith, plans for and results of extended well tests and drilling activity, future capital and other expenditures (including the amount, nature and sources of funding thereof), future economic conditions, future currency and exchange rates, continued political stability, continued security in the Kurdistan Region, timely receipt of any necessary government or regulatory approvals, the successful resolution of disputes, the Company’s continued ability to employ qualified staff and to obtain equipment in a timely and cost efficient manner, the participation of the Company’s co-venturers in joint activities, and the ability to sell production and the prices to be received in connection therewith. In addition, budgets are based upon WesternZagros’s current appraisal and development plans and anticipated costs, both of which are subject to change based on, among other things, the actual outcomes of well operations and the installation and commissioning of facilities, unexpected delays, availability of future financing and changes in market conditions.

Although the Company believes the expectations and assumptions reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking information involves significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by WesternZagros including, but not limited to, failure to complete the rights offering in all material respects or at all, the risk that any of the conditions set forth in the equity backstop agreement between the Company and Crest Energy International LLC are not satisfied on a timely basis or other termination events under such agreement occur, risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in exploration and production; inherent uncertainties in interpreting geological data; changes in plans with respect to capital expenditures; interruptions in operations together with any associated insurance proceedings; the uncertainty of estimates and projections in relation to costs and expenses and health, safety and environmental risks), the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the uncertainty associated with any dispute resolution proceedings, the uncertainty associated with negotiating with foreign governments, the risk of trade and economic sanctions or other restrictions being imposed by the Canadian or other governments which impact the Company’s operations, and risk associated with international activity, including the lack of federal petroleum legislation and ongoing political disputes in Iraq and recent terrorist activities in Iraq in particular. There is also the risk and uncertainty of access to or expansion of infrastructure, including appropriate pipelines, on acceptable terms or costs. See “Risk Factors” in the final prospectus.

Investors are cautioned that these factors and risks are difficult to predict and that the assumptions used in the preparation of such information, although considered reasonably accurate at the time of preparation, may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that the actual results achieved will vary from the information provided herein and the variations may be material. Investors are also cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Consequently, there is no representation by WesternZagros that actual results achieved will be the same in whole or in part as those set out in the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, the final prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are made as of the date of such documents, and neither WesternZagros nor FirstEnergy Capital Corp. undertake any obligation, except as required by applicable securities legislation, to update publicly or to revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation and the preliminary prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

Presentation of Oil and Gas Resources Information

All oil and natural gas resource information, including estimated production rates, contained in this presentation, in the final short form prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference therein has been prepared and presented in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook. The recovery and resource estimates provided in this presentation and in the final short form prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference therein are estimates only. Actual Reserves, Contingent Resources and Prospective Resources and future production from such resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein or in the documents incorporated by reference in the final short form prospectus.

Numbers in the resources tables and other oil and gas information contained in this presentation, in the final short form prospectus and in the documents incorporated therein by reference may not add due to rounding.

Caution to the Reader (Cont’d.)

With respect to the reserves and resources data contained herein, the following terms have the meanings indicated:

“Best estimate”, “P50” or “2C” is considered to be the best estimate of the quantity of resources that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.

“Block Gross” is an estimate of resources which represents the total volumes for the indicated reservoirs attributable to 100% of the Garmian Block or Kurdamir Block, as applicable, without any adjustments for the Company’s working interest. For a description of the production sharing terms under the Company PSCs, readers should refer to the AIF under the heading “PSC Overview and Commitments - Production Sharing Contract Payment Terms”.

“Contingent Resources” means those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage.

“Contingent Gas Resources” has the same meaning as Contingent Resources but is specific to quantities of gas.

“Contingent Oil Resources” has the same meaning as Contingent Resources but is specific to quantities of oil.

“Developed Reserves” are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from existing wells and installed facilities or, if facilities have not been installed, that would involve a low expenditure (e.g., when compared to the cost of drilling a well) to put the reserves on production. The developed category may be subdivided into producing and non-producing.

“Developed Non-Producing Reserves” are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production but are shut-in and the date of resumption of production is unknown.

“Developed Producing Reserves” are those reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or, if shut-in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.

“Gross” in relation to the Company’s interest in resources or production, means the Company’s 40% working interest (operating or non-operating) share before deduction of royalty petroleum, profit petroleum, production bonuses and capacity building support payments to the KRG pursuant to the provisions of the applicable PSC.

“High estimate” is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the quantity of resources that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.

“Low estimate” is considered to be a conservative estimate of the quantity of resources that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.

“Mean estimate” is the average from a probabilistic assessment.

“Net” in relation to the Company’s interest in resources or production, means the Company’s 40% working interest (operating or non-operating) share after deduction of royalty petroleum, profit petroleum, production bonuses and capacity building support payments to the KRG pursuant to the provisions of the applicable PSC.

“Possible Reserves” are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible Reserves. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

Caution to the Reader, (Cont’d.)

“Probable Reserves” are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

“Prospective Resources” means those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. The chance of commerciality is the product of these two risk components.

“Prospective Gas Resources” has the same meaning as prospective resources but is specific to quantities of gas.

“Prospective Oil Resources” has the same meaning as prospective resources but is specific to quantities of oil.

“Proved Reserves” are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves.

“Reserves” are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on (a) analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data, (b) the use of established technology and (c) specified economic conditions which are generally accepted as being reasonable and shall be disclosed. Reserves are classified as proved, probable or possible according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

A number of Mean estimates of resources other than Reserves which are presented in this presentation and in the final short form prospectus are combined Mean estimates which are an arithmetic sum of the Mean estimates for one or more individual reservoirs and each such Mean estimate is the average from the probabilistic assessment that was completed for the reservoir. Readers should refer to “Statement of Oil and Gas Information - Resources Information” in the AIF and the October Material Change Report for the detailed breakdown of the High (P10 or 3C), Low (P90 or 1C) and Best (P50 or 2C) estimates for each of the individual reservoir assessments.

The Contingent Resources estimates referred to in this presentation and in the final short form prospectus have not been risked for the chance of development. There is no certainty that the Contingent Resources will be developed and, if developed, there is no certainty as to the timing of such development or that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the

Contingent Resources. The estimates of Contingent Resources involve implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resource described exists in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the resource can be profitably produced in the future.

The Prospective Resources estimates referred to in this presentation and in the final short form prospectus have not been risked for either the chance of discovery or the chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the Prospective Resources will be discovered. If a discovery is made, there is no certainty that it will be developed or, if it is developed, there is no certainty as to the timing of such development or that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the Prospective Resources.

A barrel of oil equivalent (“BOE”) is determined by converting a volume of natural gas to barrels using the ratio of 6 thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) to one barrel. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 BOE is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Caution to the Reader, (Cont’d.)

All resource estimates presented are gross volumes for the indicated reservoirs, without any adjustment for the Company’s working interest or encumbrances. The effective date of the resource estimate is February 8, 2013, except for the resources in the Oligocene reservoir of the Kurdamir prospect which were updated effective February 10, 2014 and the prospective oil resources volumes relating to the Jeribe/Upper Dhiban reservoir located on the Garmian Block effective as of July 1, 2014. All estimates presented have been independently audited by Sproule International Limited as of such dates. Sproule International Limited has prepared all estimates of reserves and future net revenue contained in this presentation with an effective date of September 1, 2014.

Estimated values of net present value of future net revenue do not represent fair market value.

Refer to “Statement of Oil and Gas Information - Resources Information and - Significant Factors Relevant to the Resources Estimates” in the AIF, to “Risk Factors” in the AIF and the final short form prospectus and to the October Material Change Report for further information on the Company’s reserves and other resource estimates for the PSC Lands, including the significant positive and negative factors relevant to the estimates of Prospective Resources and Contingent Resources, the risks and level of uncertainty associated with the estimates and the recovery and development of such resources and in respect of Contingent Resources, the specific contingencies that prevent the classification of such resources as Reserves. In addition, details of the PSC Lands and the Company’s interests therein are contained in the AIF under the heading “Statement of Oil and Gas Information”.

Cautionary Note Regarding Reserves and Resources for U.S. Investors

Disclosure in this presentation, the final prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference of reserves and resources is presented in accordance with Canadian securities laws.

Specifically, the securities regulatory authorities in Canada have adopted NI 51-101, which imposes oil and gas disclosure standards for Canadian public issuers engaged in oil and gas activities. The SEC generally permits U.S. reporting oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves and production that meet the SEC’s definitions of such terms, net of royalties and interests of others. The SEC generally does not permit U.S. companies to disclose net present value of future net revenue from reserves based on forecast prices and costs. Canadian securities laws permit, among other things, the presentation of certain categories of resources and the disclosure of production on a gross basis before deducting royalties.

This presentation, the final prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain estimates of quantities of oil and gas using Contingent Resources or Prospective Resources or other descriptions of volumes of resources potentially recoverable through additional exploratory drilling or recovery techniques, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that do not meet the SEC’s definitions of estimated proved, probable and possible reserves and in respect of which the SEC’s rules would prohibit a U.S. company from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates of resources should not be construed as comparable to disclosures of estimated reserves. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimated proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not being actually realized.

Natural gas liquids referred to in this presentation and the final prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference are reported on a combined basis with any condensate as required under NI 51-101.
