                             Uganda Drilling Update 
 
 
 Dominion reports that the Ngaji-1 well was drilled to total depth ("TD") at 
1765m; the results were inconclusive as it did not identify any significant 
hydrocarbons. The well, the first ever drilled in the Lake Edward Graben, was 
designed to test the geology of the basin and will see a full suite of logging, 
coring and a vertical seismic profile will be acquired. These results will 
support the layout and design of the 2D seismic program later this year and 
subsequent exploration drilling next year. Furthermore, the Ngaji-1 well may be 
suspended to provide for possible deviated drilling under Lake Edward next year 
to test a lead down-dip of the current location. 
 
 Andrew Cochran, Chief 
Executive, stated: 
 
 "We are pleased with the geology observed in Ngaji as 
it demonstrates key elements of a prospective basin which had otherwise been 
fundamental risks in the Lake Edward Graben of Uganda and D.R. Congo. While 
stronger indications of hydrocarbons were hoped for, the well supports our 
planned exploration program for the whole basin in both countries over the next 
couple of years. As part of that program we should see seismic operations start 
in the fourth quarter of 2010 and a resumption of drilling in 2011."
