    ANZON ENERGY LIMITED
    ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
    FRIDAY, 30 MAY 2008
    CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

    Introduction
    Ladies and gentlemen this AGM is being held at a time when we have just completed another significant year in the development of the
Company.

    Australia
    From an operational perspective our subsidiary, Anzon Australia, has now completed its first year of production which marks the
continued successful exploitation of the Basker-Manta oil project in the Gippsland Basin in Australia. As with all operations of this level
of complexity, there have been some operational constraints relating to the single point mooring subsea chain failure in July last year that
led to a curtailment of production for 4 months. The BMG development and Anzon Australia holds extensive insurance coverage which covered
your Company in respect of this incident.

    Indonesia
    The Company disposed of its Indonesian operations in September last year for US$5.3 million (net of liabilities).

    Corporate
    Our Company reported net profit after tax for the year of A$131,777,848 or approximately �62.7m which is a fantastic result for its
first year of production derived from the activities of our subsidiary, Anzon Australia. With a current market capitalisation of
approximately �101m, this equates to a price earnings ratio of 1.61 which is significantly below that of comparable listed oil and gas
companies.

    Since the end of the year, the Company raised US$10 million through the exercise of convertible notes from Polygon, a US based fund. 

    We welcome Polygon's support.

    Conclusion
    In conclusion I should thank our diligent and competent staff together with the staff of our subsidiary, Anzon Australia, in advancing
the BMG oil development in such an efficient manner.

    Personally I would like to thank my fellow directors who have served throughout the year.
