NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

DECEMBER 31, 2008

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is incorporated under the laws of British Columbia and its principal business activity is the acquiring and developing of oil and gas properties.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company's ability to receive continued financial support, complete public equity financing, or generate profitable operations in the future. These consolidated financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Current market conditions make the present environment for raising additional equity financing less favorable. The inability to raise additional financing may impact the future assessment of the Company as a going concern under CICA 1400 General Standards of Financial Statement Presentation. See Note 12 for further disclosure regarding liquidity risk.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant accounts that require estimates relate to the impairment and depletion of oil and gas property interests, valuation allowances for future income tax assets, stock-based compensation and the valuation of warrants in private placements.

Oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations, whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized and accumulated in cost centres on a country-by-country basis. Costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical charges, carrying charges on non-productive properties and costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells. General and administrative costs are not capitalized other than to the extent of the Company's working interest in operated capital expenditure programs on which operator's fees have been charged equivalent to standard industry operating agreements. At December 31, 2008, the Company has not capitalized any interest, general or administrative costs.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

DECEMBER 31, 2008

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd…)

Oil and gas properties (cont'd…)

The costs in each cost centre, including the costs of well equipment, are depleted and depreciated using the unit-of-production method based on the estimated proved reserves before royalties. Natural gas reserves and production are converted to equivalent barrels of crude oil based on relative energy content. The costs of acquiring and evaluating significant unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion.

The capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and depreciation in each cost centre are limited to an amount equal to the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves (based on prices and costs at the balance sheet date) plus the cost (net of impairments) of unproved properties. The total capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and depreciation, site restoration provision and future income taxes of all cost centres is further limited to an amount equal to the future net revenue from proved reserves plus the cost (net of impairments) of unproved properties of all cost centres less estimated future site restoration costs, general and administrative expenses, financing costs and income taxes.

Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the rate of depletion and depreciation.

Site restoration

The Company has adopted CICA Handbook Section 3110 “Asset Retirement Obligations”. This standard focuses on the recognition and measurement of liabilities related to legal obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment. Under this standard, these obligations are initially measured at fair value and subsequently adjusted for any changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows. The asset retirement cost is to be capitalized to the related asset and amortized into earnings over time. Under this section, the Company has recognized estimated future net costs of well abandonment and site restoration, including removal of production facilities at the end of their useful life of $58,577 (2007 - $36,022).

Revenue recognition

Revenue from oil and gas operations is recognized in the accounts when oil and natural gas are shipped, title passes and collection of the sale is reasonably assured.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s subsidiary is an integrated foreign operation and is translated into Canadian dollars using the temporal method. Monetary items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation gains and losses are reflected in the loss for the year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

DECEMBER 31, 2008

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd…)

Stock-based compensation

The Company uses the fair value-based method for stock-based compensation and therefore all awards to employees and non-employees will be recorded at fair value on the date of the grant and expensed over the period of vesting. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant. Any consideration paid by the option holders to purchase shares is credited to capital stock.

Income taxes

The Company follows the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Future income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and those reported in the financial statements. The future tax assets or liabilities are calculated using the tax rates for the periods in which the differences are expected to be settled. Future tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.

Loss per share

The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method the dilutive effect on earnings per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year. For loss per share the dilutive effect has not been computed as it proved to be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the total number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from loss per share is 6,483,500, 5,600,000, 5,880,000 respectively.

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year.

Financial instruments – recognition and measurement

The Company classifies all financial instruments as either held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities. Financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initial recognition. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on the financial instruments classification. Held-for-trading instruments are measured at the fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in results of operations. Available-for-sale instruments are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Instruments held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Other comprehensive income is defined as revenues, expenses, gains and losses that, in accordance with primary sources of GAAP, are recognized in comprehensive income, but excluded from net income. This would include holding gains and losses from financial instruments classified as available-for-sale.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The CICA issued a new accounting standard, Section 3064 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” which will replace the existing Section 3062 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and Section 3450 “Research and Development Costs”. The new pronouncement establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial recognition and of intangible assets by profit-oriented enterprises. Standards concerning goodwill are unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section 3062. This standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations, Non-controlling Interest and Consolidated Financial Statements

In January 2009, the CICA issued Handbook Sections 1582 “Business Combinations”, 1601 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and 1602 “Non-controlling Interests” which replace CICA Handbook Sections 1581 “Business Combinations” and 1600 “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Section 1582 establishes standards for the accounting for business combinations that is equivalent to the business combination accounting standard under IFRS. Section 1582 is applicable for the Company’s business combinations with acquisition dates on or after January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is permitted. Section 1601 together with Section 1602 establishes standards for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. Section 1601 is applicable for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. Early adoption of this Section is permitted and all three Sections must be adopted concurrently.

Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

In January 2009 the Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) issued EIC-173”Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This abstract requires companies to take counterparty credit risk into account when measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives. This new standard is effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements commencing January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.

DECEMBER 31, 2008

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following new accounting standards issued by the CICA. As required by the transitional provisions of these new standards, these new standards have been adopted on a prospective basis with no restatement to prior period financial statements.

Assessing Going Concern

The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) amended CICA Handbook Section 1400, to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (Note 1).

Financial Instruments

The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures, which requires entities to provide disclosures in their financial statements that enable users to evaluate (a) the significance of financial instruments for the entity's financial position and performance; and (b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the entity is exposed during the period and at the balance sheet date, and how the entity manages those risks. The principles in this section complement the principles for recognizing, measuring and presenting financial assets and financial liabilities in Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement, Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, and Section 3865, Hedges (Note 12).

The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section 3863, Financial Instruments – Presentation, which is to enhance financial statement users' understanding of the significance of financial instruments to an entity's financial position, performance and cash flows. This section establishes standards for presentation of financial instruments and non-financial derivatives. It deals with the classification of financial instruments, from the perspective of the issuer, between liabilities and equity, the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities are offset (Note 12).

Capital Disclosures

The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section 1535, which establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital and how it is managed (Note 13).

At December 31, 2008, the oil and gas properties include $563,231 (2007 - $335,087) relating to unproved properties that have been excluded from the depletion calculation.

Ontario prospects, Canada

The Company holds a 5% working interest in a prospect located in Ontario, Canada and is receiving a payout of all costs incurred.

The Company has also incurred exploration costs of $430,962 on an additional prospect located in Ontario, Canada. The Company has an 89% interest in this prospect.

Michigan, U.S.A.

The Company has a 22.5% working interest in a prospect located in Michigan, U.S.A.

Texas, U.S.A.

The Company acquired a 10% working interest in certain oil and gas leases located in the Refugio and Goliad Counties, Texas, U.S.A. As consideration for its interest, the Company made staged payments totaling US$1,044,000. During fiscal 2008, the ceiling test calculation determined that the net book value of the Company’s assets in the U.S.A. exceeded net future cash flows from proven reserves and accordingly, the Company recorded a ceiling test write-down of $72,427 (2007 - $1,049,683) included in accumulated depletion.

California, U.S.A.

During fiscal 2008, the Company paid $100,000 pursuant to an option to acquire an interest in certain oil and gas leases in Kern County, California. The option was not exercised so the costs were charged to property investigation costs for fiscal 2008.

LOAN PAYABLE

On July 25, 2007, the Company established a US$300,000 credit facility with the Regions Bank in Texas, USA maturing on July 25, 2008. During fiscal 2008, the Company transferred the loan to the Texas Community Bank with an increased credit facility of $550,260 (US$450,000). The loan bears interest at the Lender’s Commercial Prime Floating Rate plus one-half percent, matures on August 15, 2009, and is secured by the Company’s interests in the Mission River property in Texas, USA.

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company also granted 4,400,000 warrants as fees in connection with the increased credit facility (Note 14). The warrants are valued at $106,000 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected volatility of 128%, a risk free interest rate of 1.37 %, an expected life of 2 years and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

FUTURE SITE RESTORATION

The following table presents the reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the obligation associated with the retirement of oil and gas properties.


	2008	2007

Asset retirement obligation, beginning of year	$ 36,022	$ 10,494
Liabilities incurred	22,555	25,528

Asset retirement obligation, end of year	$ 58,577	$ 36,022

The undiscounted amount of cash flows, required over the estimated reserve life of the underlying assets, to settle the obligation, adjusted for inflation, is estimated at $94,339 (2007 - $52,739). The obligation was calculated using a credit-adjusted risk free discount rate of 10% and an inflation rate of 5%. It is expected that this obligation will be funded from general Company resources at the time the costs are incurred with the majority of costs expected to occur between 2009 and 2013.

Common shares returned to treasury

On November 14, 2006, the Company filed a notice of intention to undertake a normal course issuer bid with the British Columbia Securities Commission for up to 5% of the Company’s issued share capital (2,200,000 common shares) over a 12 month period. The issuer bid was approved by the TSX Venture Exchange. During fiscal 2007, the Company purchased 50,000 (2006 – 300,000) common shares for $6,250 (2006 - $40,000) to return to treasury. These 350,000 common shares were cancelled during fiscal 2007 resulting in a reclassification of $62,116 from capital stock to contributed surplus.

Private placements

During fiscal 2008, the Company issued 333,500 units at $0.06 per unit for gross proceeds of $20,010. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant expiring November 17, 2010. Finder’s fees of 18,667 common shares valued at $1,120 were issued to MHT Corporate Services Ltd. The market price of the Company’s common stock was equivalent to the unit price on issuance, consequently, all the proceeds on the private placement were allocated to the common shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued 1,500,000 units at $0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of $150,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.12 per share expiring July 6, 2009. The Company issued 53,571 common shares valued at $5,357 as Finder’s Fees.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 625,000 common shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options for gross proceeds of $93,750.

The Company has a stock option plan whereby, from time to time, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, stock options are granted to directors, officers and certain consultants enabling them to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The exercise price of each option is based on themarket price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant less an applicable discount. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 5 years and vest at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

All of the Company's operations are in the oil and gas industry and 100% of the revenues have been generated in the U.S.A.

The total amount of capital assets attributable to Canada is $563,231 (2007 - $335,087) and the total amount of capital assets attributable to the U.S.A. is $277,559 (2007 - $179,388).

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

The Company’s cash is primarily held in large Canadian financial institutions. The Company does not have any asset-backed commercial paper. The Company’s receivables consist mainly of GST receivable due from the Federal Government of Canada and balances due from the sale of its share of oil and gas relating to its oil and gas properties. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in receivables is minimal.

Currency risk

The Company does not use derivative instruments or foreign exchange contracts to hedge against gains or losses arising from foreign exchange fluctuations.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. There is a very limited interest rate risk as the Company holds no interest bearing financial obligations or assets.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont’d…)

Liquidity risk (cont’d…)

The Company is negotiating to extend its current credit facility for another year when it comes due (Note 5). Cash flow from operations will be used to reduce the amount of the loan over the next twelve months. The Company cannot undertake any additional projects without additional financing or joint ventures.

The Company is currently reviewing all of its holdings with a view to selling or farming out current projects. In the event that the credit facility is not extended, it will be necessary for the Company to sell one or more of its projects and the Company will not be able to undertake by itself the exploration and development of any additional projects. The payment of property payments and the development of the property interests will therefore depend upon the Company's ability to obtain financing through the joint venturing of projects, private placement financing and public financing. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the required financing or that financing will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company or that will not cause significant dilution to shareholders.

Price risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity and equity prices. The ability of the Company to explore its oil and properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of oil and gas. The Company monitors oil and gas prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

13.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company's objectives when managing capital are:

•

to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

•

to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products commensurately with the level of risk.

The Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as capital. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through public and/or private placements, sell assets to reduce debt or return capital to shareholders. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

14.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company granted 4,400,000 bonus warrants to Mantle Resources LLC as fees in connection with a credit facility (Note 5). Each warrant is exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.05 per share expiring January 28, 2011. The expiry date can be reduced to January 28, 2010 upon the occurrence of certain events. The proceeds from the warrants will be used solely for either the payment of accrued interest and principal of the loan and, if the loan is in good standing, for any costs or expenses of certain new wells in Texas.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY

ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d…)

Oil and gas properties

Under both United States and Canadian GAAP, property, plant and equipment must be assessed for potential impairment.

Under Canadian GAAP, a ceiling test is applied to ensure that capitalized costs for oil and gas properties and equipment do not exceed the sum of estimated undiscounted, future net revenues from proven reserves less the cost incurred or estimated to develop those reserves, interest and general and administration costs, and an estimate for restoration costs and applicable taxes. Any impairment loss as a result of the ceiling test is to be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows discounted using a risk free interest rate.

Under United States GAAP, costs accumulated in each cost center are limited to an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net operating revenues from proved reserves, net of restoration costs and income taxes. Under United States GAAP an additional ceiling test write-down was not required as at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Stock-based compensation

Under both United States and Canadian GAAP, the Company accounts for stock based compensation as disclosed in Note 2. Accordingly, there is no difference between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP on the accounting for stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

For the year ended December 31, 2002 and prior, for United States GAAP purposes, the Company elected to account for stock-based compensation using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options was measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant over the option price.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES GENERALLY

ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont'd…)

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF”) met and ratified EITF No.07-01, Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements, in order to define collaborative arrangements and to establish reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. This EITF is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This EITF is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. We are currently assessing the impact of this EITF to our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s operating results, financial position, and cash flows.

SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS No. 161 and have not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provisions of SFAS No. 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, we do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on our consolidated operating results, financial position, or cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets or FSP FAS 142-3. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of the position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not believe that implementation of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or SFAS No. 162. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement shall be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not believe that implementation of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not have an impact on the Financial Statements.

controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in securities legislation; and

ii)

a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the issuer’s GAAP.

The issuer’s certifying officers are responsible for ensuring that processes are in place to provide them with sufficient knowledge to support the representations they are making in this certificate. Investors should be aware that inherent limitations on the ability of certifying officers of a venture issuer to design and implement on a cost effective basis DC&P and ICFR as defined in NI 52-109 may result in additional risks to the quality, reliability, transparency and timeliness of interim and annual filings and other reports provided under securities legislation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Portrush Petroleum Corporation

Description of Business and effective Date of this Report

Portrush Petroleum Corporation (“Company”) is a junior oil and natural gas exploration and production company. The Company is focused on its core property the Mission River project, situated in Refugio and Goliad Counties, Gulf Coast, Texas. The Mission River project has placed twelve wells on production producing mostly gas with some oil. Portrush is a reporting issuer publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada under the symbol PSH.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2008 (the "Financial Statements"). The information in this Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking information or statements. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements.

2008 Highlights

The last 4 Mission River wells, numbers 8,10,11,12 were all successful and new pay zones were found that have not been previously produced in the field. Each new well is located to develop the newly discovered Lower Frio formations but will also be positioned to develop the proven Upper Vicksburg (8,000’ to 8,500’)

The Company will not participate in the next three well programs in Mission River.

The current daily production from the field is 2,500 Mcfd and 90 barrels of oil; the Company holds a 10% working interest in the Mission River Project.

The gathering system has sufficient capacity to handle any anticipated increase in production arising from the additional wells.

In late October, the Company began drilling the Waubuno #2 based on new 3D seismic survey; drilling completed in late December and the Company has yet to decide whether to complete or abandon the well.

Reported oil and gas revenues for the year ended December 31 were $669,710 compared to $392,534 for the same period in 2007, with a reported net loss of $0.01 per share for the period in 2008 compared to a net loss of $0.03 per share for 2007.

Oil and Gas Properties

Ontario prospects, Canada

The Company negotiated leases on a gas prospect located in the Moore Township, Lambton County, Southwestern Ontario, Canada. The prospect is located in the heart of a gas storage area on trend and mid point between two pinnacle reef gas storage pools, Kimball Colinville and Waubuno.

The Moore 5-13-III well was drilled to a final total depth of 729.0m. on December 6, 2007 without encountering a pinnacle reef. The well encountered a number of “reef proximity indicators” including two zones of reef derived “Sucrosic Dolomite” in the upper A1 Carbonate formation. The lower zone with 11.8’ of thickness gave up good oil showings while drilling. The Neutron-Density logs indicate porosity in the 6.0% range but with poor permeability and not suitable for completion. “Fracturing stimulation” is not allowed on wells that are drilled adjacent to gas storage reservoirs so this was not an option for the Company.

The well is considered a near miss of a pinnacle reef. The 2-D Seismic anomaly on which it was drilled is considered “sideswipe” to a pinnacle. The Company planned a more sophisticated 3-D Seismic survey over the lands to pinpoint a drillable anomaly. This survey was completed in May 2008 and received a favorable geophysical report and interpretation from its consultants in Calgary, Alberta. The Company finished drilling the second well in late December and must now decide to complete or abandon the well.

The prospect is on trend and mid point between two pinnacle reef gas storage pools, Kimball Colinville and Waubuno and it is favourably located with respect to a Union Gas Pipeline tie-in located on the Kimball Side Road approximately 1.55 miles from the prospect.

Portrush commissioned a Calgary based Petrophysical Consulting firm to conduct a detailed evaluation on the Moore 6-12-III #2 well on its Waubuno property in Moore (St. Clair) Township, Lambton County, Southwestern Ontario which was drilled in December 2008. The evaluation is based on log calculations and an oil show observed during drilling at the top of the main potentially productive porosity interval. The results will be considered preliminary until such time as the well is placed on production. The Company holds a 89% WI in the project.

Mission River Project, Texas U.S.A

In Texas, the Company has a joint venture with the McAlester Fuel Company of Houston, Texas to develop the Mission River Project, situated in Refugio and Goliad Counties, Gulf Coast, Texas. The Company owns a 10% working interest in the project.

The initial twelve (12) well program was designed to test bypassed oil and gas payzones in the traditional producing intervals from 5,000 to 6,400 feet; The first well was spudded on April 30^th 2004 and twelve wells have since been drilled and completed as gas wells. A gas pipeline runs through the property.

The operator has drilled the number 11 & 12 wells and they have been placed on production. The current daily production from the field is 2,500 Mcfd and 90 barrels of oil.

Lenox Project, Michigan U.S.A.

In June 2000, the Company acquired a 25% interest in two Silurian-Ordovician prospects, and associated leased lands (approximately 2,560 acres) located in St. Clair County, Cottrellville Township and Macomb County, Lenox Township, Southeast Michigan.

The Company focused its efforts on the Lenox project in Macomb County, SE Michigan where the Company earned a 22.5% working interest. The project consists of two oil wells with excess gas being flared. Production is no longer considered material.

The Michigan Basin contains extensive belts of organic reefs composed of carbonate rocks (Limestone and Dolomite) formed under shallow seas in the Silurian period. These oil and gas filled reefs are the principal target for exploration companies in the basin.

Exploration Risks

Oil and gas exploration and development involves significant risks. Few wells which are drilled are developed into commercially producing fields. Substantial expenditures may be required to establish reserves and no assurance can be given that commercial quantities or further reserves will be discovered or, if found, will be present in sufficient quantities to enable the Company to recover the costs incurred. The Company’s estimates of exploration and production costs can be affected by such factors as permitting regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, and unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and work interruptions. There can be no assurance that actual exploration cost will not exceed projected cost.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the company returned to treasury and cancelled 50,000 common shares. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company returned to treasury 300,000 common shares that were later cancelled in 2007.

The Company’s accounting policy is to record its resource properties at cost. Exploration and development expenditures relating to oil and gas properties are deferred until either the properties are brought into production, at which time they are amortized on a unit of production basis, or until the properties are sold or abandoned, at which time the deferred costs are written off.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its common shares. The Company has no present intention of paying dividends on its common shares, as it anticipates that all available funds will be invested to finance the growth of its business.

Results of Operations

The Company does not operate the Mission River project, located in the State of Texas, which is currently its main source of revenue. The Company owns a 10% working interest in the project which is subject to a 25% royalty interest. Currently there are 12 wells on production with 2 wells producing oil and the remainder producing gas. Revenue from the project has been negatively impacted by the downward pressure on oil and gas prices. The Company does not expect a significant increase in prices during the next year and this will continue to impact revenue.

Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2008

Production: Production increased significantly in the third quarter as a result of wells coming on stream from the four well drilling program in Mission River. During the three month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded gross revenues of $290,353 compared with $60,853 in 2007.

Expenses: Well operating expenses increased significantly in the third quarter due to costs associated with the new wells from the four well drilling program in Mission River. Operating expenses were $102,878 compared with $18,696 in the previous year.

Depletion Expenses: In the previous year, there was an increase in depletion expense, a non-cash charge to operations resulting from an adjustment to reserve estimates on the US oil and gas properties; this depletion expense adjustment resulted in the Company recording depletion expenses of $1,233,325 in 2007 compared to $132,371 in 2008.

Administration Expenses: The Company is continuing to maintain very modest administration expenses and these expenses were consistent with previous quarters. There was no stock based compensation expense recorded in 2008 compared to $8,332 in 2007.

Year Ended December 31, 2008

Production: Production began to increase after the first quarter of the year as a result of increased production from the Mission River project. Although production from the Lenox project, a 2 well oil project, declined over the year, the Company expects production from the four well drilling program in Mission River to increase so as to offset declines in Lenox. Although the Company continues to generate some revenue from Lenox, production is no longer considered to be material and no reserves were assigned to the Lenox project at year end. During fiscal 2008, the Company recorded gross revenues of $669,710 compared with $392,534 in 2007.

Currency Fluctuations: Oil and gas revenue and operating costs fluctuate with changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian and US dollar as all revenue producing properties are located in the United States. The Company converts its US revenues and expenses using an average of the monthly Bank of Canada rate exchange rates.

Expenses: Well operating expenses increased during the year due to operating expenses associated with the new wells from the four well drilling program in Mission River. Well operating expenses were $169,080 compared with $94,912 in the previous year.

Depletion Expenses: In the previous year, there was an increase in depletion expense, a non-cash charge to operations resulting from an adjustment to reserve estimates on the Mission River project. This depletion expense adjustment resulted in the Company recording depletion expenses of $250,148 compared with $1,233,325 in 2007.

Administration Expenses: The Company is continuing to maintain very modest administration expenses and these expenses were consistent with the previous year except for the $100,000 charge for property investigation arising out of a proposed gas project in California and the non-cash financing fee of $106,000 attributed to the issuance of loan bonus warrants. General and administration expenses before non-cash expenses and property investigation costs were $342,383 compared with $347,180 for the same period in 2007. Included in General and administration expenses are interest expenses paid in fiscal 2008 of $29,739 ($2,337 in 2007).

Stock based compensation expenses recorded in 2008 were very similar to those incurred in 2007. The Company recorded a non-cash charge for stock-based compensation pertaining to the grant of stock options of $38,249 compared to $46,671 in 2007. The inclusion of this expense is based on Canadian accounting policies that require the Company to include an “estimate of the grant date fair value” of stock options as a compensation expense.

The Company paid or accrued to the President of the Company management fees of US$6,000 per month; an amount that has not increased over the preceding two years. At the end of the year, the President of the Company had accrued but unpaid management fees and expenses of US$64,374.

The Company has recognized a financing fee of $106,000 (non-cash expense) relating to 4,400,000 warrants granted subsequent the December 31, 2008 in connection with the increased credit facility. The warrants have been valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected volatility of 128%, a risk free interest rate of 1.37 %, an expected life of 2 years and an expected dividend yield of 0%.

Capital: The Company, with the assistance of the operator of the Mission River project, has established a credit facility with the Texas Community Bank in Texas, USA of US$450,000. These funds were used to pay the Company’s share of the drilling costs of the new Mission River four well program. Each well cost the Company approximately US$110,000 for its share of the drilling expenses. The loan bears interest at the Lender’s Commercial Prime Floating Rate plus one-half percent, matures on August 15, 2009, and is secured by the Company’s interests in the Mission River property in Texas, USA. During fiscal 2008 the Company paid $28,921 in interest costs on the loan.

Outlook: The Company does not intend to participate in further drilling at the Mission River project. This will result in revenues remaining flat for the upcoming year unless another project comes on stream. The Waubuno project in Ontario will require at least $100,000 to complete in the event a production decision is made. The ability of the Company to explore its oil and gas properties and the future profitability of the Company are directly related to the market price of oil and gas. The Company expects little change in current oil and gas prices but will continue to monitor prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Working Capital Deficiency

The Company’s working capital deficiency is primarily due to the credit facility established with its US bank to fund the four well drilling program in Mission River. This loan of US$450,000 matures on August 15, 2009. The Company expects to renew the loan for another 12 month period. The loan is secured by the Company’s interests in the Mission River property in Texas, USA.

Liquidity

The Company expects to extend its current credit facility with its US bank for another year when it comes due in the third quarter. Cash flow from operations will be used to reduce the amount of the loan over the next 12 months in a manner consistent with current G&A expenses. The Company cannot undertake any additional projects without additional financing or joint ventures.

The Company has not paid any dividends on its common shares and has no present intention of paying dividends on its common shares.

Investor Relations

The Company will continue its corporate awareness program with the aim of enhancing the Company's visibility and foster a clear understanding of its performance and strategic direction.

Outstanding Share Data

The following table summarizes the outstanding share capital as at the effective date of this Management Discussion and Analysis:




Common shares			45,614,530

Stock options			2,750,000

Warrants			6,233,500

(See Note 7 of the financial statements for additional detail)

Capital Resources

The Company has not entered into a property option agreement that requires the Company to meet certain yearly exploration expenditure requirements.

Off-Balance Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Transactions with Related Parties

The Company paid or accrued management fees of US$6,000 per month to a director, Martin Cotter for his services as the President of the Company. Amounts due to related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment. Related party transactions are in the normal course of operations, occurring on terms and conditions that are similar to those of transactions with unrelated parties and, therefore, are measured at the exchange amount.

Financial Instruments

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Currency risk

Cash held in foreign currencies other than the Canadian dollar is subject to currency risk. The Company is exposed to currency risk by incurring certain expenditures in currencies other than the Canadian dollar. The Company does not use derivative instruments or foreign exchange contracts to hedge against gains or losses arising from foreign exchange fluctuations.

Interest rate risk

Liquidity risk

Price risk

Risk Management

The Company’s largest non-monetary assets are its oil and gas properties in the U.S.A. The Company has established a credit facility and has a loan payable in the U.S.A. The Company could accordingly be at risk of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company relies on consultants for the management of its oil and gas properties and for legal and accounting matters.

Capital Management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are:

•

to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and

•

to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products commensurately with the level of risk.

Disclosure Controls & Procedures

The roles of CEO and CFO are fulfilled by the Company’s President. He has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded based on his evaluation that they are sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company is made known to management and disclosed in accordance with applicable securities regulations. The Company recognizes that a weakness exists in respect of the segregation of duties as a result of having a limited number of accounting staff both at head office and at the foreign subsidiary. He also concluded that considering the size and stage of development of the Company, the issue does not currently warrant the hiring of additional accounting staff to correct the lack of segregation of duties at this time.

Changes in Accounting Policy

Assessing Going Concern

Financial Instruments

Capital Disclosures

The AcSB issued CICA Handbook Section 1535, which establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital and how it is managed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Mining Exploration Costs

On March 27, 2009, the CICA approved EIC-174 “Mining Exploration Costs.” This guidance clarified that an entity that has initially capitalized exploration costs has an obligation in the current and subsequent accounting periods to test such costs for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable.

This standard will be effective for the Company beginning on April 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard in 2009.

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In 2006, AcSB published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. The ASB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period. In February 2008 the ACSB announced that 2011 is the changeover date for publicly-listed companies to use IFRS, replacing Canada’s own GAAP. The date is for interim and annual financial statements relating to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. The transition date of January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company is monitoring the impact of the transition on its business practices, systems and internal controls over financial reporting. A detailed analysis of the difference between IFRS and the Company’s accounting policies as well as an assessment of the impact of various alternatives is underway. Changes in accounting policies are likely and may materially impact the Company’s financial statements. While the Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Outlook

The Company's primary focus for the foreseeable future will be on reviewing its financial position and the ability to finance new business ventures in the oil and gas industry.

Additional Information

Additional information related to the Company is available for view on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at www.portrushpetroleum.com.

Subsequent events

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company granted 4,400,000 bonus warrants to Mantle Resources LLC as fees in connection with a credit facility. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.05 per share expiring January 28, 2011. The expiry date can be reduced to January 28, 2010 upon the occurrence of certain events. The proceeds from the warrants will be used solely for either the payment of accrued interest and principal of the loan and, if the loan is in good standing, for any costs or expenses of certain new wells in Texas.

Martin Cotter, Director and President

PORTRUSH PETROLEUM CORPORATION

(the “Company”)

Suite 200 – 1687 W. Broadway

Vancouver, B.C. V6J 1X2

INFORMATION CIRCULAR

This information is given as of April 29, 2009

This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of PORTRUSH PETROLEUM CORPORATION (the "Company") for use at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on May 29, 2009, and at any adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries. The solicitation will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by officers and employees of the Company. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXYHOLDER

A duly completed form of proxy will constitute the person(s) named in the enclosed form of proxy as the shareholder's proxyholder. The persons whose names are printed in the enclosed form of proxy for the Meeting are officers or directors of the Company (the “Management Proxyholders”).

A shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than a Management Proxyholder, to represent the shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the Management Proxyholders and by inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided or by executing a proxy in a form similar to the enclosed form. A proxyholder need not be a shareholder.

VOTING BY PROXY

Common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) represented by properly executed proxies in the accompanying form will be voted or withheld from voting on each respective matter in accordance with the instructions of the member (the “shareholder”) on any ballot that may be called for.

If no choice is specified and one of the Management Proxyholders is appointed by a shareholder as proxyholder, such person will vote in favour of the matters proposed at the Meeting and for all other matters proposed by management at the Meeting.

The enclosed form of proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the person named therein as proxyholder with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of the Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

COMPLETION AND RETURN OF PROXY

Completed forms of proxy must be received by mail by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 (or electronically as setout in proxy) not later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting, unless the chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders because the Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Shares. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP's, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will receive either a voting instruction form or a form of proxy.

The voting instruction form, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions.

The Non-Registered Holder may be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it to Computershare Investor Services Inc., at the address or fax number as provided above.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the Management Proxyholders and insert the Non-Registered Holder's name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

Any registered shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date, executed by the registered shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the registered shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. The instrument revoking the proxy must be deposited at the registered office of the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting.

Only registered shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must, at least 7 days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

VOTING SHARES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value, of which 45,614,530 common shares are issued and outstanding.

Only the holders of common shares are entitled to vote at the Meeting and the holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each common share held. Holders of common shares of record on April 21, 2009 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no shareholder beneficially owns shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all shares of the Company.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The directors of the Company are elected at each annual general meeting and hold office until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are appointed. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, the enclosed proxy will be voted for the nominees herein listed.

The Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to set the number of directors of the Company at three (3). Management of the Company proposes to nominate each of the following persons for election as a director.The following table sets out the names of the persons to be nominated for election as Directors, the positions and offices which they presently hold with the Company, their respective principal occupations or employments during the past five years if such nominee is not presently an elected Director and the number of shares of the Company which each beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised as of the date of this Information Circular:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the Shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and who are charged with the day to day management of Strathmore. The Board of Directors is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its Shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision making.

Pursuant to National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”), Strathmore has reviewed existing guidelines in terms of NI 58-101 and hereby discloses its corporate governance practices in compliance with NI 58-101, as summarized below.

1. Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the view of the Company’s Board of Directors, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

The board facilitates its independent supervision over management by reviewing all significant transactions of the Company.

The independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company are Neal Iverson and Wes Franklin. The non-independent director is Martin Cotter, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. A majority of the Board is independent, and one director is an officer of the Company.

2. Orientation and Continuing Education

When new directors are appointed, they receive orientation, commensurate with their previous experience, on the Company’s oil and gas properties and on the responsibilities of directors.

Board meetings may also include presentations by the Company’s management and employees to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business.

3. Ethical Business Conduct

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors’ participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

4. Nomination of Directors

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of views and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

5. Compensation

The Board determines compensation for the directors and the CEO.

6. Other Board Committees

The Board has no other committees other than the audit committee, the stock option committee, and the compensation committee.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxies given pursuant to this solicitation will be voted for the reappointment of Davidson & Company, Chartered Accountants, of Vancouver, British Columbia, as auditor of the Company to hold office until the close of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Davidson & Company, Chartered Accountants, were first appointed auditor of the Company at the annual general meeting of the Company held on April 12, 1999.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND RELATIONSHIP WITH AUDITOR

Multilateral Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (“MI 52-110”) requires the Company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in its Information Circular certain information concerning the constitution of its audit committee and its relationship with its independent auditor, as set forth in the following.

Audit Committee Charter

The audit committee is a committee of the board of directors of the Company that is independent of the Company’s management and represents the interests of the Company’s shareholders.

The audit committee is authorized by the board of directors to:

(a) oversee the process of selecting and appointing the Company’s external auditor,

(b) oversee the conduct of the audit, and

Responsibilities of the Audit Committee

The audit committee must:

(a) take reasonable steps, at the time the auditor’s appointment is under consideration, to ensure that the auditor is independent of management of the Company in accordance with applicable standards,

(b) determine whether the audit fees charged by the auditor appear adequate in relation to the work required to support an audit opinion, without regard to fees that might be paid to the auditor for other services,

(c) meet with the auditor, regularly and when otherwise appropriate, without management present to determine whether there are any contentious issues between the auditor and management relating to the Company’s financial disclosure and, if so, whether those issues have been resolved to the auditor’s satisfaction,

(d) establish, and monitor compliance with, the Company’s policies regarding (i) the auditor’s providing services beyond the scope of the Company’s audit, and (ii) the Company’s hiring individuals formerly employed by the auditor to fill senior officer positions of the Company, and

(e) prepare annually a report describing the steps it has taken to ensure that the auditor is independent of management of the Company, including (i) the policies and procedures followed so that any contracts for non-audit services to be provided by the auditor do not compromise the auditor’s independence, and (ii) the nature of any non-audit service contracts entered into and the amount of the related fees.

The Company’s audit committee is comprised of three directors: Martin Cotter, Wes Franklin and Neal Iverson. All audit committee members are “financially literate” (as defined in MI 52-110) and only Martin Cotter, the President, is not “independent”.

Since the commencement of the Company’s most recently completed financial year, the Company’s Board of Directors has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the audit committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Since the effective date of MI 52-110, the Company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of MI 52-110. Section 2.4 provides an exemption from the requirements that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal

year in which the non-audit services were provided. Section 8 permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of MI 52-110, in whole or in part.

The audit committee has not adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. Subject to the requirements of MI 52-110, the engagement of non-audit services is considered by the Company’s Board of Directors, and where applicable the audit committee, on a case-by-case basis.

In the following table, “audit fees” are billed by the Company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing the Company’s annual financial statements for the subject year.

“Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

The fees paid by the Company to its auditor in each of the last two fiscal years, by category, are as follows:


Financial Year Ending	Audit Fees	Audit Related Fees	Tax Fees	All Other Fees
December 31, 2008	$30,000	Nil	$7,450	Nil
December 31, 2007	$24,500	Nil	$2,550	Nil

The Company is relying on the exemption provided by section 6.1 of MI 52-110 which provides that the Company, as a venture issuer, is not required to comply with Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of MI 52-110.

PARTICULARS OF OTHER MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

(a) Alterations to Company’s Articles

On March 29, 2004, the new British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCA”) was proclaimed, replacing the preexisting British Columbia Company Act. Accordingly, the Company is now subject to the BCA, and no longer governed by the Company Act. The BCA is a more modern corporate statute, and is designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency for British Columbia companies. The Company previously adopted a new form of articles to take advantage of the greater flexibility and efficiency inherent in the BCA and to make its articles consistent with the terminology and certain provisions of the BCA.

In order to provide the Company with flexibility in managing its share structure, the Company is proposing to amend section 8.1 of its articles to allow the directors, in accordance with the BCA, to amend the share structure of the Company.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution amending section 8.1 of as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that section 8.1 of the Company’s articles be amended by amending section 8.1 which reads as follows: “Subject to the Business Corporations Act, the Company may by ordinary resolution alter its shares or authorized share structure.” to “Subject to the Business Corporations Act, the Company may by directors resolution or by ordinary resolution, in each case as determined by the directors, alter its shares or authorized share structure.”

Management of the Company recommends that shareholders approve this resolution and the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the approval of the resolution at the Meeting unless otherwise directed by the shareholders appointing them.

(b) Consolidation of share capital

It is the opinion of Management that a consolidation of the Company's share capital on the basis of up to ten old common shares for one new common share is required in order to attract new equity investment in the Company whether it be through private or public markets. The consolidation will be subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Accordingly, shareholders will be asked to approve the following:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution and subject to regulatory approval, that the Company authorize the directors, as they may determine, to alter the shares of the Company by consolidating all of the issued and outstanding common shares without par value of the Company, on the basis of up to ten old common shares without par value, into one new common share without par value.”

In the event Shareholders do not approve this resolution, then the Company will not proceed with the consolidation of its share capital. Management of the Company recommends that shareholders approve this resolution and the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the approval of the resolution at the Meeting unless otherwise directed by the shareholders appointing them.

(c) Reaffirm Stock Option Plan

During the next year, the Company may grant additional stock options pursuant to its existing Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. Under the current policy of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), shareholder approval of the Plan is required on an annual basis. Under the Exchange’s Policy 4.4, governing stock options, all issuers are required to adopt a stock option plan pursuant to which stock options may be granted. The Plan is limited to 10% of the issued shares of the Company at the time of any granting of options (on a non-diluted basis). This is constituted as a “rolling” as opposed to a “fixed number” plan. Any previously granted options are governed by the Plan, and if any options granted expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares shall again be available under the Plan. Options must be issued only on terms acceptable to the Exchange and the Plan complies with the requirements of Exchange Policy 4.4 for Tier 2 issuers.

A copy of the Plan is available for review at the offices of the Company or the registered offices of the Company, at Suite 700 – 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 2T5 during normal business hours up to and including the date of the Meeting.

The Company is asking shareholders to approve the following resolutions:

“RESOLVED that, subject to regulatory approval:

the Company’s stock option plan (the “Plan”) be and it is hereby affirmed and approved;

the board of directors be authorized to grant options under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which may be exercised to purchase up to 10% of the issued common shares of the Company as at the time of grant;

the directors and officers of the Company be authorized and directed to perform such acts and deeds and things and execute all such documents, agreements and other writings as may be required to give effect to the true intent of these resolutions.”

OTHER MATTERS

The management of the Company is not aware of any other matter to come before the Meeting other than as set forth in the Notice of the Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, 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.

(the “Corporation”)

STATEMENT OF RESERVES DATA AND OTHER OIL AND GAS INFORMATION

The statement of reserves data and other oil and gas information set forth below (the “Statement”) is dated April 30, 2009. The effective date of the Statement is December 31, 2008 and the preparation date of the Statement is April 28th, 2009.

The reserves information presented in this Statement is for the Mission River Property. The evaluation of the Mission River Property was prepared by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited (the “Consultant’s Report”). Monetary values in this report are expressed in United States (U.S.) dollars.

Disclosure of Reserves Data

The reserves data set forth below (the “Reserves Data”) is based upon evaluation by the Consultant with an effective date of December 31, 2008 contained in the Consultants Report. The Reserves Data summarizes the crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves of the Corporation and the net present values of future net revenue for these reserves using constant prices and costs and forecast prices and costs. The Consultant’s Report has been prepared in accordance with the standards contained in the COGE Handbook and the reserve definitions contained in NI 51-101. Additional information not required by NI 51-101 has been presented to provide continuity and additional information which we believe is important to the readers of this information. The Corporation engaged the Consultant to provide an evaluation of proved and proved plus probably reserves and no attempt was made to evaluate possible reserves.

All of Portrush’s reserves are in the United States. The Mission River Property is in the state of Texas.

The Report of Management and Directors on Oil and Gas Disclosure in Form 51-101F3 and the Report on Reserves Data by Independent Qualified Reserves Evaluators in Form 51-101F2 are attached as Schedules “A” and “B” respectively.

It should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented in the tables below represent the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and costs assumptions will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery and reserve estimates of the Corporation’s crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. Actual crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquid reserves may be greater than or less than the estimates provided herein.

Reserve Categories

Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, from a given date forward, based on

analysis of drilling, geological, geophysical and engineering data;

the use of established technology; and

specified economic conditions.

Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associated with the estimates.

(a)

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.

(b)

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.

Other criteria that must also be met for the categorization of reserves are provided in the COGE Handbook.

Each of the reserve categories (proved and probable) may be divided into developed and undeveloped categories:

(c)

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 (for example, 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.

(i)

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 been previously on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.

(ii)

Developed non-producing reserves are those reserves that either have not been on production, or have been on production, but are shut-in, and the date of resumption of production is unknown.

(d)

Undeveloped reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered from known accumulations where a significant expenditure (for example, when compared to the cost of drilling a well) is required to render them capable of production. They must fully meet the requirements of the reserves classification (proved, probable) to which they are assigned.

In multi-well pools it may be appropriate to allocate total pool reserves between the developed and undeveloped categories or to subdivide the developed reserves for pool

between developed producing and developed non-producing. This allocation should be based on the estimator’s assessment as to the reserves that will be recovered from specific wells, facilities and completion intervals in the pool and their respective development and production status.

Levels of Certainty for Reported Reserves

The qualitative certainty levels referred to in the definitions above are applicable to the individual reserve entities (which refers to the lowest level at which reserves calculations are performed) and to reported reserves (which refers to the highest level sum of individual entity estimates for which reserves are presented). Reported reserves should target the following levels of certainty under a specific set of economic conditions:

(a)

at least a 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated proved reserves; and

(b)

at least a 50 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves.

A qualitative measure of the certainty levels pertaining to estimates prepared for the various reserves categories is desirable to provide a clearer understanding of the associated risks and uncertainties. However, the majority of reserves estimates will be prepared using deterministic methods that do not provide a mathematically derived quantitative measure of probability. In principle, there should be no difference between estimates prepared using probabilistic or deterministic methods.

Additional clarification of certainty levels associated with reserves estimates and the effect of aggregation is provided in the COGE Handbook.

Forecast Prices and Costs

Forecast prices and costs are those:

(a)

generally acceptable as being a reasonable outlook of the future; and

(b)

if and only to the extent that there are fixed or presently determinable future prices or costs to which the Corporation is legally bound by a contractual or other obligation to supply a physical product, including those for an extension period of a contract that is likely to be extended, those prices or costs rather than the prices and costs referred to in paragraph (a).

The forecast cost and price assumptions assume increases in wellhead selling prices and take into account inflation with respect to future operating and capital costs. Crude oil and natural gas benchmark reference pricing, inflation and exchange rates utilized by the Contractors and in the Contractors Report were an average of forecast prices published by DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited as at December 31, 2008.

Future Development Costs

The Corporation has not deducted any development costs in the estimation of the Corporation’s future net revenue attributable to the proved or proved and probable reserve categories as the Corporation’s interest in the Mission River field is a carried interest.

Other Oil and Gas Information

The following is a description of Portrush’s principal oil and natural gas properties as at December 31, 2008. The following descriptions do not include the properties acquired by Portrush after that date. Unless otherwise indicated, production stated is the average production for the period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 received in respect of the Corporation’s working interest share attributable before deduction of royalties. Unless otherwise specified, gross and net acres and well count information is as at December 31, 2008.

The properties comprising the Corporation’s assets are all located in the United States: the Mission River Property located in the State of Texas. As at December 31, 2008 Portrush’s Mission River property were comprised of 9 producing natural gas wells and 3 producing oil wells in the aggregate.

Mission River Property, Texas

The Corporation entered into an agreement with the McAlester Fuel Corporation of Houston, Texas to develop the Mission River Project situated in Refugio and Goliad Counties, Gulf Coast, Texas. The Corporation paid 10% of the estimated drilling costs for the 12 shallow well development-drilling program and acquired a 10% working interest in the 12 well project. The property is subject to operating costs and tax which reduces the gross income by 25%. The property is crossed over by a natural gas pipeline and can be serviced by two natural gas transmission systems. The initial 12 well program was designed to test bypassed oil and gas payzones in the traditional producing intervals from 5,000 to 6,400 feet. After the first six shallow wells were drilled the working interest partners agreed to drill two deep tests in exchange for the six remaining shallow wells. The two deep wells have been drilled to 8,300 feet

and 8,200 feet.

A second four well program was completed by McAlester, the operator of the Mission River project, during 2008 and put on production.

Oil and Gas Wells

The following table sets forth the number and status of wells in which the Corporation had a working interest as at December 31, 2008.


	Oil Wells				Natural Gas Wells
	Producing		Non-Producing		Producing		Non-Producing
	Gross	Net	Gross	Net	Gross	Net	Gross	Net
U.S.	2	0.15	0	0	7	0.525	0	0
Total	2	0.15	0	0	7	0.525	0	0

Undeveloped Reserves

No undeveloped reserves have been included in the analysis.

Abandonment and Reclamation Costs

The net wells to which the Corporation’s share of abandonment and reclamation costs applies is 0.15 for oil wells and 0.525 for gas wells. The Corporation has accounted for salvage value in its estimates of these costs which is considered acceptable by industry standards. These costs are projected to occur in the last year of economic production of the producing wells.

Tax Horizon

The Corporation does not expect to pay income taxes on income from its oil and gas projects in the next fiscal year.

Risks Related to the Corporation’s Oil/Gas Operations

Volatility of Oil and Gas Prices

The Corporation’s revenues, profitability and future growth and the carrying value of its oil and gas properties are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of oil and gas. The Corporation’s ability to borrow and to obtain additional capital on attractive terms is also substantially dependent upon oil and gas prices. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond the control of the Corporation. These factors include economic conditions in the United States and Canada, the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, governmental regulation, political stability in the Middle East and elsewhere, the foreign supply of oil and gas, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternative fuel sources.

Any substantial and extended decline in the price of oil and gas would have an adverse effect on the Corporation’s carrying value of its proved reserves, borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.

Volatile oil and gas prices make it difficult to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on such value. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and development and exploitation projects.

Fluctuation in Oil and Gas Prices

As with most other companies involved in resource exploration, the Corporation may be adversely affected by future increases in the costs of conducting exploration, development and resource extraction that may not be fully offset by increases in the price received on sale of the petroleum or natural gas.

Competition

Oil and gas exploration is intensely competitive and involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that commercial production of hydrocarbons can be obtained from any of the Corporation’s properties, nor are there any assurances that production, if obtained, will be in sufficient quantities to be profitable. In its efforts to acquire properties, the Corporation competes with other companies that have significantly greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and gas, but also conduct refining and petroleum marketing operations on a worldwide basis. Competition for producing properties will be affected by the amount of funds available to the Corporation, information available to the Corporation and any standards established by the Corporation for the minimum projected return on investment. Competition may also be presented by alternative fuel sources.

Risks Associated with Oil and Gas Exploration

There can be no assurance that the Corporation will recover commercial quantities of hydrocarbons in the future. The marketability of any oil and gas acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Corporation. These factors include market fluctuations, proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment and government regulations (including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of oil and gas, and environmental protection). In addition, hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations, pressures or other conditions are involved in drilling and operating wells.

Environmental Regulation

Hazards incident to the exploration and development of oil and gas properties such as accidental spills or leakage of petroleum liquids and other unforeseen conditions may be encountered by the Corporation. The Corporation may be subject to liability for pollution and other damages due to hazards that cannot be insured against due to prohibitive premium costs or for other reasons. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also increase the cost of doing business or require alteration or cessation of operations in certain areas.

Existing and possible future environmental legislation, regulations and actions could give rise to additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the activities of the Corporation, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Regulatory requirements and environmental standards are subject to constant evaluation and may be significantly increased, which could materially and adversely affect the business of the Corporation or its ability to develop its properties on an economically feasible basis. Before development and production can commence on any properties, the Corporation must obtain regulatory and environmental approvals. There is no assurance that such approvals will be obtained on a timely basis or at all. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has the potential to reduce the profitability of operations or preclude entirely the economic development of a property.
