October 10, 2006 Press Release

October 10, 2006 — Guernsey, British Isles — CanArgo Energy Corporation (AMEX:CNR; OSE:CNR) (“CanArgo”) today announced that it’s wholly owned subsidiary responsible for its Kazakhstan assets, Tethys Petroleum Limited (“Tethys”), has progressed its plans to seek admission to the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) of the London Stock Exchange and raise capital in connection with this admission. It now plans to seek admission to AIM at the end of October 2006.

As a result of the progression of the planned AIM admission it has also been announced that Vincent McDonnell will take over the role of Chief Executive Officer of CanArgo replacing David Robson in this position once the AIM admission of Tethys is complete.

Vincent McDonnell is currently President, Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer of CanArgo. He joined CanArgo in November 2000 and served the company as Chief Financial Officer from September 2002 to May 2005. Mr. McDonnell has been working in the international oil and gas industry since 1982, initially, in a technical capacity but in later years in commercial roles. He holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) degree in Geology, a Master of Science degree in Geophysics together with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

Dr. David Robson, the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CanArgo, will remain as Chairman and focus more on his role as Managing Director of Tethys Petroleum Limited (“Tethys”) once the admission to AIM has been completed..

It is currently planned that CanArgo will retain a significant, but not controlling, equity interest in Tethys after the admission of Tethys to AIM. The intention is that this funding will enable the Kazakh assets to be financed independently whilst minimising dilution for CanArgo’s shareholders and potentially raising additional funds for CanArgo’s core operations in Georgia.

.October 8, 2006 Press Release

October 8, 2006 — Tbilisi, Georgia — CanArgo Energy Corporation (“CanArgo”) (OSE: CNR, AMEX:CNR) today issued an operations update on the Manavi M12 appraisal well which is currently drilling in Georgia.

The well had been drilled to a total depth of 4,892 metres (16,345 feet) in the Cretaceous reservoir when it was decided to log the well and run 7 inch casing, however, whilst conditioning the well prior to these operations, the drill pipe became pressure differentially stuck at 4,205 metres (13,796 feet). Subsequent efforts to release the drill pipe were not successful and in order to progress drilling activities it was necessary to detach the stuck portion of the drill pipe and a cement plug is currently being set prior to sidetracking the well from the open hole section in the same diameter hole.

The M12 well penetrated a total Cretaceous carbonate reservoir section of 280 metres (919 feet). Hydrocarbon shows were detected throughout the entire Cretaceous interval with a major gas influx observed and significant shows recorded. At the same time, traces of light oil/condensate were observed in the drilling mud. These strong shows were associated with a more fractured porous vuggy white limestone interval which was also encountered in the M11 well. No evidence of an hydrocarbon-water contact has been identified in the well which has been drilled to a deeper level than the previous wells, thus indicating a potential total hydrocarbon column in the structure in excess of 570 metres (1,870 feet).

There is further reservoir potential identified in the overlying Palaeocene which is a continuation of the Cretaceous limestone stratigraphy and in the Middle Eocene sequence both of which had hydrocarbon shows.

The plan is to sidetrack the well in an 8 ¹/2 inch hole to the top of the higher pressure and more porous / permeable reservoir interval in the upper Cretaceous where a 7 inch casing will be set. This will enable the zone where the differential sticking occurred to be isolated before drilling ahead in a 6 inch hole through the higher pressure reservoir zone to the planned total depth of the well. In order to remain close to the original well bore, it is planned to re-drill through the reservoir using directional drilling equipment from Baker-Hughes which is being mobilised to Georgia for this purpose. It is anticipated that drilling will be completed within 45 days after which time the well will be logged and final production casing run prior to testing which may involve testing a number of different zones. Given the high formation pressures observed in the well, a high pressure well test is being planned and this will require the demobilisation of the rig due to the restricted space on the site in order to install the necessary high pressure test equipment, separators and other facilities.

Vincent McDonnell, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation commented “We are very encouraged and excited by the drilling results of our appraisal drilling on the Manavi structure having encountered hydrocarbons over a potentially large column with the geology being very similar to that encountered in the M11 discovery well. Whilst we are disappointed not to be testing the well at this time, we view this as a temporary delay and we have taken all the necessary steps to safeguard the well and complete the drilling. Our ability to sidetrack the well from the open hole section will enable us to maintain the hole size and so ensure we will be in a position to get an optimal test on this discovery.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IN EUROPE & NORTH AMERICA

Tethys Spin-out and Planned Management Changes

October 10, 2006 — Guernsey, British Isles — CanArgo Energy Corporation (AMEX:CNR; OSE:CNR) (“CanArgo”) today announced that it’s wholly owned subsidiary responsible for its Kazakhstan assets, Tethys Petroleum Limited (“Tethys”), has progressed its plans to seek admission to the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) of the London Stock Exchange and raise capital in connection with this admission.

It now plans to seek admission to AIM at the end of October 2006. Tethys has engaged ODL Securities Limited in connection with this transaction and Nabarro Wells & Co Ltd who are the nominated advisor.

Tethys’ operations are focused in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Its development and exploration assets, which total approximately 3.2 million acres, are located to the west of the Aral Sea in a region known as the North Ustyurt basin, which is adjacent to the highly prolific pre-Caspian basin. To the south, the basin extends into Uzbekistan where large gas condensate discoveries have been made. Tethys’ assets are principally its interests in the Kyzyloi Gas Field, and in the surrounding Akkulka and Greater Akkulka exploration areas. In addition to its active exploration programme, Tethys has moved into the development phase with its Kyzyloi Field which it plans to bring on stream in the spring of 2007. The funds to be raised through the AIM listing will be used primarily to advance the development of the Kyzyloi Gas Field and further exploration and development plans for the Akkulka and Greater Akkulka contract areas.

As a result of the progression of the planned AIM admission it has also been announced that Vincent McDonnell will take over the role of Chief Executive Officer of CanArgo replacing David Robson in this position once the AIM admission of Tethys is complete.

Vincent McDonnell is currently President, Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer of CanArgo. He joined CanArgo in November 2000 and served the company as Chief Financial Officer from September 2002 to May 2005. Mr. McDonnell has been working in the international oil and gas industry since 1982, initially, in a technical capacity but in later years in commercial roles. He holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) degree in Geology, a Master of Science degree in Geophysics together with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

Dr. David Robson, the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CanArgo, will remain as Chairman and focus more on his role as Managing Director of Tethys Petroleum Limited (“Tethys”) once the admission to AIM has been completed..

It is currently planned that CanArgo will retain a significant, but not controlling, equity interest in Tethys after the admission of Tethys to AIM. The intention is that this funding will enable the Kazakh assets to be financed independently whilst minimising dilution for CanArgo’s shareholders and potentially raising additional funds for CanArgo’s core operations in Georgia.

Dr David Robson, Chairman, President and CEO of CanArgo commented, “I am very pleased to see the progression towards gaining admission to the AIM for Tethys. This will enable CanArgo to potentially realise additional value for its Kazakhstan assets and also raise the necessary funds to develop those assets. Vincent McDonnell has been in charge of day-to-day operations in Georgia for some time and his move to the position of Chief Executive Officer is well deserved. I will remain as Chairman of CanArgo and as well as this I look forward to creating additional value for CanArgo through my role as Managing Director of Tethys in which CanArgo will retain a significant shareholding. ”

CanArgo is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with its oil and gas operations currently located in Georgia and in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
