FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or Berkley’s future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur. By its nature, forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not occur.

Although Berkley believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Berkley cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Moreover, Berkley does not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements.

Statements relating to “reserves” or “resources” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future. All forward-looking statements contained in this Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Berkley is not under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in Berkley’s expectations.

STATEMENT OF RESERVES DATA AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION

In accordance with the requirements of NI 51-101, the following Statement of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information for Berkley is dated with an Effective Date of December 31, 2006 and a Preparation Date of April 27, 2007.

AJM Petroleum Consultants (“Evaluator”) prepared the reserve report, dated as of April 20, 2007, with an effective date of December 31, 2006 (the “Report”) which evaluates the proved and probable crude oil, natural gas and NGL reserves attributable to Berkley’s interests in its properties and net present value of estimated future cash flow from such reserves, based on both forecasted and constant price and cost assumptions. This Report accounts for approximately 100% of the Company’s reserves. The reserves information contained in the Report was prepared and is presented in accordance with the requirements of NI 51-101.

In preparing the Report, the Evaluator obtained basic information from Berkley, which included land data, well information, geological information, reservoir studies, estimates of on-stream dates, contract information, current hydrocarbon product prices, operating costs data, capital budget forecasts, financial data and future operating plans. Other engineering, geological or economic data required to conduct the evaluation and upon which this Report is based, was obtained from public records, other operators and from the Evaluator’s non-confidential files. The extent and character of ownership and the accuracy of all factual data supplied for the independent evaluation, from all sources, was accepted by the Evaluator as represented by Berkley.


The following tables, based on the Report, show the estimated share of Berkley’s crude oil, natural gas and NGL reserves in its properties and the net present value of estimated future net revenue for these reserves, using constant and forecast prices and costs as indicated. All evaluations of the present value of estimated future net revenue in these reports are stated after provision for estimated future capital expenditures, well abandonment and reclamation costs (including the offsetting salvage value of tangible equipment after abandonment), before and after income taxes and indirect costs and do not necessarily represent the fair market value of the reserves. The recovery and reserve estimates of Berkley’s oil, NGL and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

References to oil, gas, natural gas liquids, reserves (gross, net, proved, probable, possible, developed, developed producing, developed non-producing, undeveloped), constant prices and costs, forecast prices and costs, operating, costs, development costs, future net revenue and future income tax expenses shall, unless expressly stated to be to the contrary, have the meaning attributed to such terms as set out in National Instrument 51-101, Companion Policy 51-101CP and all forms referenced therein.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATING TO BERKLEY’S RESERVE DATA

Significant Factors and Uncertainties

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex. It requires significant judgments and decisions based on available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data. These estimates may change substantially as additional data from ongoing development activities and production performance becomes available and as economic conditions impacting oil and gas processing and costs change. The reserve estimates contained herein are based on current production forecasts, prices and economic conditions and are evaluated by an independent engineering firm.

As circumstances change and additional data become available, reserve estimates also change. Estimates made are reviewed and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by the new information. Revisions are often required due to changes in well performance, prices, economic conditions and governmental restrictions.

Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates are accurate, reserve estimation is an inferential science. As a result, the subjective decisions, new geological or production information and a changing environment may impact these estimates. Revisions to reserve estimates can arise from changes in year-end oil and gas prices and reservoir performance. Such revisions can be either positive or negative. The reserve estimates of the Company’s oil, NGL and natural gas reserves provided in the Statements of Reserves Data and Other Oil and Gas Information are estimates only and there is no assurance or guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual reserves may be greater or less than the estimates provided herein.

As the above future development costs are nil there will be no cost of funding to reduce future net revenue. As a result, there will be no cost impact to render any property uneconomic for Berkley.

Oil and Gas Activity

The Company has continued to pursue quality projects with experienced partners in high opportunity areas. The Company will put its primary efforts into fully developing its existing Senex property and enhancing its representation in new projects now underway such as Crossfield, Alberta.

The Company presently holds working interests in approximately 50 oil and gas wells in Alberta and Saskatchewan with its working interests ranging from 1% to 35%. Efforts continue to purge the Company’s asset base of minor interest properties which will enable the Company to focus on higher interest opportunities. Generally the Company does not operate joint interest ventures; however Crossfield, Alberta is an exception where the Company holds the largest interest at 35%. Presently almost all of the Company’s production comes from five discrete areas of which three are natural gas and two produce oil.

The Company has drilling scheduled for two areas in Alberta during the balance of 2007 and into 2008.  Both are high quality prospects, one is natural gas (Crossfield) and the second is a combination of dual zone oil and shallow natural gas (Senex).  The Company recently reported on these two areas as follows:

Senex Area, Alberta (Townships 92/93, Ranges 6/7 W5M):

Berkley (20% ±) and its operating partner Onefour Energy Ltd. (80% ±) have increased their land holdings in this area to approximately 70 sections. This increase in land holdings will provide the Company with a very large block on which to develop all three productive formations identified to date. The formations are:  Keg River (oil), Slave Point (oil) and Blue Sky (gas).  


The Company and its partner have a nine Keg River well drilling program planned between August 1st 2007 and April 2008.  This drilling program will cost the company approximately $2 million.   The Company and its partner have also planned a 6 well program in the slave point zone.  The 6 targets are 2 water injection wells and 4 targeted as producers.  Over the last year and a half the Company and it’s partner have completed approximately 45 sections of 3D seismic.  The Company is reviewing and analyzing this seismic and may come up with new targets in addition to those mentioned above for the next drilling period which is August through April.

Crossfield West Area, Alberta (Township 28, Range 1 W5M): 

The licensing process of this sour-gas prospect is well underway. The Company (35%) and its partners have negotiated extensions to certain of its freehold leases which will maintain our existing drilling lease block of six sections; major investment has entered the immediate area of the Company’s lease block with an undisclosed party paying over three million dollars for near and adjacent leases at the March 22, 2006 Alberta Crown Sale.  BP Canada paid $532,000 for a one section parcel diagonally offsetting our lands. The highest price paid at the Sale was for a one section lease laterally adjoining our block where a broker paid $770,304 ($3,009/hectare).  The Company and its partners have sufficient holdings to move ahead with our own drilling plans; however negotiations are being pursued with the acquiring parties to extend our acreage position.  The Company believes that it should have it’s licensing hearing before the end of September, 2007 and believe that they should be approved to drill before the end of 2007.

Summary

The Company has made a major commitment to the Senex Area in north-central Alberta. Large reserves of oil have been identified in two Devonian formations and a significant natural gas reserve in shallow lower Cretaceous sand.   All three opportunities are being evaluated and the Company has drilled 5 successful Keg River wells between August 2006 and February 2007.   As stated above, we have targeted nine more wells in the Keg river zone and 6 more wells in the slave point zone which is budgeted to be drilled between August 2007 and April 2008.  The Company’s working interest in this project is 20%. Good progress is being made in the licensing process at Crossfield.  The Company now expects to go to its hearing on licensing by September 2007 and hopes to drill by the end of the year.  



 
Properties With No Attributed Reserves

The Company, as at December 31, 2006, held interests in undeveloped lands in Alberta, Canada (total Company) for 16,900 acres (gross) and 3,955 acres (net).

There are no work commitments on any of these undeveloped lands.

The Company has no rights in such unproved properties that are expected to expire in 2007.


Forward Contracts and Financial Instruments

Berkley has no forward contracts or financial instruments unless required by securities law.


Abandonment and Reclamation Costs

The Company uses its Evaluator to estimate its abandonment and reclamation costs. The costs are estimated on an area by area basis. The industry’s historical costs are used when available. If representative comparisons are not readily available, an estimate is prepared based on the various regulatory abandonment requirements.

The total of such costs, forecast net of estimated salvage value, is $189,000 (undiscounted) and $115,000 (discounted at 10%) in respect of proved reserves.
 

Tax Horizon

Berkley Resources Inc. was not required to pay income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006 and has determined that it will not be taxable for the foreseeable future.
