RESUME OF COMPANY'S CANDIDATES PROPOSED FOR RE-ELECTION AS DIRECTORS

The expertise and relevant educational background of the nominees for director are as follows:

•

Richard L. McAdoo holds a Bachelors degree in Geology and Masters degrees in Geophysics from Texas Tech University; and a Masters degree in Business Administration from Boston University. He is registered as a Certified Petroleum Geologist by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Actively involved in the international oil exploration and production business for the last 24 years, Mr. McAdoo has held a variety of technical and management positions in exploration and production for Mobil Oil Company, Phillips Petroleum Company, Jackson Exploration, Inc., Triton Energy Corporation, Tracer Petroleum Company, and others in many regions including the North Sea, Middle East, Africa, South America, FSU and Asia. Mr. McAdoo is currently a director, President and CEO o f Apex Bengara and Apex Yapen. Prior to their acquisition by the Company Mr. McAdoo held a direct and an indirect share holding interest in both Apex Bengara and Apex Yapen.

•

Lawrence Barker has had a remarkable career in the international oil business and although unofficially retired is still actively involved in consulting from his San Francisco base. He is a 1942 graduate of Yale with a degree in mathematics. After a short wartime engagement as a meteorology officer in the US Army, he studied geology and petroleum engineering at UCLA/USC before embarking on a career as an independent oil producer in California, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana and Montana. Today he remains active as a producer of oil and gas and also a director and shareholder of a small private company with activity and some production in California and Texas. With other oilmen in 1963, he founded the Independent Indonesian American Petroleum Company (IIAPCO) and he served as its President and CEO until 1971. IIAPCO signed the first ever Production Sharing Contract in Indonesia in 1966 for an unexplored and rank wildcat area offshore Java. A second contract area adjacent to the first was signed in 1968. Substantial discoveries were made on both of IIAPCO's contracts with cumulative oil production from the two areas to date about 3 billion barrels. IIAPCO merged with Natomas and Mr. Barker became a director of that company in 1971. After several other mergers and acquisitions the Natomas share of the two offshore Java contract areas acquired by fledgling IIAPCO are today still in production and operated by MAXUS, formerly of Dallas but now owned by YPF, the Argentine oil company, and Repsol, the Spanish oil company. Mr. Barker's string of successful Indonesian enterprises continued until 1992 with his participation in the development of fields in the Salawati Basin, Irian Jaya, which have today produced over 500 million barrels.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxies given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted for the appointment of Staley Okada,  Chartered Accountants, of Burnaby, British Columbia, as the auditor of the Company to hold office for the ensuing year at a  remuneration to be fixed by the directors.

VOTE ISSUE – 3 : APPROVE STOCK OPTIONS

The members will be asked to approve and ratify incentive stock options, and amendments to incentive stock options granted to insiders, directors, senior officers, employees or consultants of the Company which have not previously been approved by members and to authorize the directors in their discretion to grant stock options to insiders, directors, senior officers, employees or consultants and to amend stock options granted to insiders, directors, senior officers, employees or consultants, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. The number of shares under option from time to time and the exercise prices of such options, and any amendments thereto, will be and have been determined by the directors in compliance with applicable regulations promulgated by regulat ory authorities having jurisdiction. Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote for the approval and ratification of the Stock Option and Amendments to Option Agreements Granted by the Board of Directors since the Last AGM and authorize the Directors at their Discretion to Grant future options in compliance with applicable regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction.

VOTE ISSUE – 4 : RATIFY ACTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The members will be asked to confirm, ratify and approve all proceedings, resolutions, acts, deeds and things done, on behalf of the Company, by the Board of Directors, the Directors and the Officers of the Company during the year preceding the AGM and ending upon the date of this Notice. Unless such authority is withheld, the persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to vote for the approval and ratification of the proceedings, resolutions, acts, deeds and things done by the Board of Directors, the Directors and the Officers of the Company during the year preceding the AGM and to authorize the Board of Directors, the Directors and the Officers of the Company to continue and proceed taking additional action on behalf of the Company during the ensuing year.

VOTE ISSUE – 5 : INCREASE CAPITAL TO 500,000,000 COMMON SHARES

The members will be asked to vote upon a motion to pass a special resolution and alter the memorandum and articles of incorporation of the Company to reflect an increase in the amount of the authorized capital of the Company from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 common shares. Unless such authority is withheld, the Board of Directors shall be authorized and empowered to take such action as necessary to implement  the increase in the Company’s common shares capital from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 common shares and register the appropriately amended and articles of the Company with the registrar at the soonest practical date following the AGM.

Issue-5: Management Discussion & Recommendation

Currently approximately one-third of the Company’s authorized common share capital is issued and in the event that all outstanding options and warrants are exercised the outstanding common share capital would exceed half of the authorized common share capital. To provide needed flexibility in fund raising for the Company’s projects management is recommending the shareholders approve and authorize the increase in the common share capital of the Company from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 common shares.

VOTE ISSUE – 6 : CHANGE PROVINCIAL DOMICILE OF THE COMPANY

The members will be asked to vote upon a motion to pass a special resolution and alter the memorandum and articles of incorporation of the Company and make additional statutory and regulatory filings as may be required to change the domicile of incorporation of the Company from British Columbia to another Canadian Province or Territory chosen at the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Company’s legal advisors at an appropriate point in time also chosen at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Unless such authority is withheld, the Board of Directors shall be authorized and empowered to take such action as necessary to implement  the change of the corporate domicile of the Company from British Columbia to another province or territory chosen by the Board of Directors at a time also chosen by the Board of Directors and register the appropriately amended and articles of the Company with the registrar at the soonest practical date following the AGM.

Issue-6: Management Discussion & Recommendation

In accordance with its incorporation under the British Columbia corporations act the Company must maintain a majority of Canadian residents on its Board of Directors. Given the international focus of the Company’s business interests and the facts that 1) a large majority of the Company’s shareholders are non-Canadian residents and 2) the Company has no oil and gas properties in Canada management feels the BC corporations act unduly restricts the Company from obtaining the best possible board of directors to further the Company’s best interests. Not all Canadian provinces and territories have similar restrictive requirements for the composition of the Company’s board. Management recommends this change be approved to facilitate election and appointment of a carefully selected board of directors needed to grow the Company to its fullest potential.

VOTE ISSUE – 7 : OTHER BUSINESS

Management of the Company is not aware of any other matter to come before the AGM other than as set forth in the notice of AGM. Matters may arise properly from the floor. If any other matter properly comes before the AGM, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

DATED THIS 16TH DAY OF DECEMBER 2002;   BY ORDER OF THE BOARD

“Richard L. McAdoo”
