Could Namibia Be Ten Times Better Than Brazil for Oil?
Feb 26th, 2010 | By Byron King
I logged 9,814 air miles. Took four different flights. Spent a total of 54 hours traveling. All to meet with a man they call “Mr. GO Deep…”
“Mr. GO Deep” is the go to guy in offshore oil development. Oil companies pay him HUGE consulting fees in hopes to identify the next deep or ultra deep offshore oil deposits.
Yet in my recent trip down to Brazil, “Mr. GO Deep” sat at a table with me — just me — for two solid hours, explaining what he’s doing in the energy world. And why, while offshore Brazilian oil is good, there’s another deep sea play with even better oil prospects. Then he handed me off to several of his able staff, who were equally generous with their time and perspective. A first-class act, in every respect.
Here’s what I’ve found, along with a few ideas of how you can take advantage of the secrets he shared…
Meet “Mr. GO Deep” – The GO TO Man in Deep Oil Discoveries
The man I’m talking about is Marcio Mello — the always-ebullient Brazilian geochemist and CEO of Brazil’s HRT Petroleum Co. I first met Marcio back at last year’s American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) convention. He wowed the crowd with a discussion of the oil potential of the South Atlantic.
“The Namibian offshore is analogous to that of Brazil,” Marcio stated, with slides and hard data to back it up. Then he showed his proprietary research into natural offshore oil seeps off Namibia, and the geochemistry that demonstrates immense hydrocarbon potential. As for the reservoirs, he showed a slide of proprietary seismic data. “And look at this turbidite stuff,” he yelled, as a couple hundred seasoned geologists in the room both gasped and chuckled.
Indeed, Namibia is destined for oil riches. “But Namibia,” said Marcio, “is way underexplored. So you can put down a little money for the concessions and get very rich.”
Any mention of “very rich” makes my ears perk up. When I questioned Marcio further about the offshore Namibia deposits, he was gracious enough to invite me down to see his facilities in Brazil.
Here’s What I Found About Namibia…
I looked at seismic. I saw geochemistry. I saw satellite data. I saw gravity and magnetic maps. If there’s a frontier spot on earth where you can say that drilling risk is low for wildcat development, it’s offshore Namibia. (You just have to be sure to drill in the right place.)
Nothing is easy, of course. There aren’t a lot of wells offshore Namibia. Just a handful. But we know there’s a giant natural gas field at Kudu in the south, immediately north of the Namibian territorial line with South Africa. So there’s a hydrocarbon system out there. Now we know there’s gas, so where’s the rest of it? As Marcio says, “If I see a little baby, I look for its mama.”
After a week in Brazil, I can say something significant. It’s that right now, some people (guess who) know more about the deep regions offshore Namibia than Petrobras knew about the deep Campos Basin off Brazil before it drilled the Tupi discovery and found 12 billion barrels of oil.
The Secret Finding Namibia’s Oil
To understand what Marcio brings to the table – and his secret for finding deep oil plays — you first have to understand how big oil companies think about exploration…
There are a couple of different exploration philosophies among big oil companies. One philosophy is that the oil company gains an offshore concession and works the heck out of that concession. It puts big bucks into seismic, seismic and more seismic. Then it drills the biggest structure on the concession and MAYBE finds oil.
Or maybe not. Maybe the oil company drills a dry hole, because there’s a big structure with no oil. There are all sorts of geological reasons why this might happen. The bottom line is, “You have a wine bottle, but there’s no wine in it,” as Marcio says.
Another exploration philosophy is that an oil company gains an offshore concession and looks across the entire region for evidence of a petroleum system. Where did the oil and gas originate? Where’s the “oil kitchen”? What are the migration pathways? Where could that oil be now? After a lot of work at the REGIONAL level, then the company hones in on its concession and drills — and it’s not necessarily the big structure. Maybe it drills lower down, like in the oil kitchen.
I’m telling you things that people have spent BILLIONS of dollars learning the hard way. This is information that took Petrobras years to develop. Marcio had an uphill fight at Petrobras for a long time, working to replace “turbidite” thinking (a prolific kind of oil-bearing formation) with “petroleum systems” thinking.
Today, this “petroleum systems approach” is the kind of thinking that Marcio brings to the table.
Why Namibia’s Oil Is Even More Promising Than Brazil’s
If you’re a long time Whiskey reader, you already know I’m very bullish on Brazilian oil opportunities. But there are some things that make the Namibian oil plays even better. Allow me to explain…
Brazil is about to pass a set of new petroleum laws that will put its entire pre-salt region under the jurisdiction of a new national oil company (NOC), meaning NOT Petrobras, which is publicly owned. Future pre-salt deals will be along the lines of production sharing arrangements (PSAs) with the NOC, which private oil companies HATE because they can’t book the reserves and impress Wall Street.
There are all sorts of issues about how much interest Petrobras will get in future Brazil offshore concessions (30% is the current number). And how Petrobras will be the operator, on behalf of the NOC, of all future pre-salt plays off Brazil. It’s going to be complicated, if not hairy!
The bottom line is that if an international oil company wants to look for big oil fields, like pre-salt plays and find and book those huge volumes of oil, it has to go somewhere else.
Where else? Why… Namibia, of course! Offshore Namibia, you can get 10 times the acreage for 1/10th the price. For now..
There are many ways for you to take advantage of this discovery. First, if you’re looking for a home run opportunity, try searching some of the smaller oil companies with concessions in Namibia. You’ll want to look mainly at ones that are pure plays, though. A second, less exciting but safer way to play it would be to look at some of the big oil service companies that provide the drill bits, rigs, and hardware for general deep sea oil discoveries.

Namibia – das neue Öldorado
Was haben die Küstenregionen in Südamerikas Osten und Afrikas Westen gemein?
Vor mehr als 100 Mio. Jahren brach der Kontinent Gondwana auseinander, Afrika driftete in Richtung Osten, während sich Südamerika nach Westen bewegte, es entstand er Atlantische Ozean.
Dadurch, dass beide Küstenregionen einmal direkt zusammenlagen, weisen diese auch sehr ähnliche geologische Strukturen, inklusive darin vorhandener Rohstoffe auf. Während in den Seegebieten Brasiliens bereits große Mengen an Öl und Erdgas aufgefunden wurden, steckt die Explorationsarbeit auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite, also vor der Küste Namibias noch am Anfang. Doch auch dort konnte bereits das Vorhandensein potentieller Öl- und Gas-Anomalien bewiesen werden.
Die kanadische Explorationsgesellschaft Universal Power Corp. , deren Management ein hohes Ansehen in Namibia genießt, ist eine der wenigen Firmen, die dieses Potential bereits erkannt haben und die Erlaubnis zur Erforschung der Hoheitsgewässer Namibias besitzen. Wir sprachen mit Universal Power Corps. Chairman Duane Parnham über die enormen Chancen, die Namibias Küstengewässer im Bereich Öl- und Gasförderung bieten.

Universal Power Confirms Namibian License Renewal
Universal Power reported that the renewal for Petroleum Exploration License Block 1711 was granted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy for the Republic of Namibia, for an additional two-year period. The renewal notice dated April 1, 2010 confirms UNX will maintain a carried interest throughout the next phase of the property's evaluation.
"Preliminary results presented to-date for Kunene No. 1 well located within Block 1711 clearly suggest the regional presence of a large hydrocarbon-charged reservoir. The two year renewal period will provide sufficient time for the block's participation group to perform the planned work program in following up on the very encouraging results achieved to-date on the concession," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, CEO of Universal Power.
Ownership in Block 1711 is distributed between Nakor Investments, an affiliate of the Sintez Group (70% working interest), EnerGulf Resources (10% working interest), PetroSA (10% working interest), NAMCOR (7% carried interest) and Kunene Energy (3% carried interest). Universal owns 90% of Kunene Energy.

Universal Power appoints Maria Elliott as Vice President, Finance, and Chief Financial OfficerUniversal Power Corp UNX 4/15/2010 7:00:00 AMCALGARY, Apr 15, 2010 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --
<< "UNX" TSX-V "3U2A" Frankfurt Shares Outstanding: 80,002,871 >>
Universal Power Corp. ("Universal" or the "Company") announced today that Ms. Maria Elliott has been appointed as the Company's Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Barry Swanson, Universal's current Chief Financial Officer and Director, has resigned in both capacities and will remain with the Company until April 30, 2010, to help ease the transition of responsibilities.
"Universal continues to build its management team with seasoned professionals while in the process of moving its headquarters from Vancouver to Calgary. As Canada's oil and gas hub, Calgary offers world class access to geo-science, engineering, and financial expertise specific to the industry. The hiring of Ms. Elliott is an excellent example of the city's talent pool, as her background and understanding meets every skill set and experience we had hoped for as we sought to replace Mr. Swanson. In particular, her professional experiences at Sherritt International were key attributes to her hiring, as the company evolved from exploration to becoming a major producer in Cuba and early stage producer in other countries," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, CEO of Universal.
Universal's Chairman, Mr. Duane Parnham stated, "We want to thank Mr. Swanson for his many contributions over the past three years, in helping to build Universal's dynamic portfolio of growth opportunities. Mr. Swanson has indicated his interest in returning to the fund management industry and we respect his decision to step down from the Board to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors."
Ms. Elliott is a Certified General Accountant with over 17 years of oil and gas financial and reporting experience, of which 15 years are specific to international operations. Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Elliott was the CFO and Controller of Action Energy Inc. She also held the respective positions of Chief Internal Auditor and Controller at Sherritt International. Ms. Elliott has set up international offices, negotiated with government officials, implemented and monitored internal controls locally and internationally, including compliance and risk management, and has been a leader in all areas of financial reporting.
Universal also wishes to announce that it has granted incentive stock options to certain consultants and officers for the purchase of a total of 500,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $2.27 each valid until April 14, 2015. The options are being granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's stock option plan.

Universal Awarded Additional Blocks in Offshore Namibia
CALGARY, May 17 /CNW/ - Universal Power Corp. ("Universal" or the "Company") announced today that it has been awarded a Petroleum Exploration Licence ("PEL") for the offshore Namibian blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A by the Ministry of Mines and Energy ("MME") of the Republic of Namibia. Universal will have a 40% working interest in the blocks; HRT O&G Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltd. ("HRT O&G") will have a 40% working interest, and Acarus Investments (Proprietary) Ltd., will have a 20% participating interest. The designated operator of the blocks is HRT O&G.
"This award adds three strategically important blocks to our portfolio and is being done in partnership with HRT O&G, the world's premier experts along the offshore South Atlantic margins," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, President and CEO of Universal. "Given the extensive field work we have conducted in assessing the regional and lease-specific prospectivity of the Orange basin, securing blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A is key to our regional land position, which now stands at over 42,000 square kilometers of contiguous acreage."
Mr. Duane Parnham, Universal's Chairman said, "These blocks add to our growing asset base with an agreement that enables us to partner with the company that predicted some of the world's largest pre-salt oil discoveries. HRT O&G's experience and expertise in techniques that maximize the probabilities of success materially adds to the likelihood that we will succeed in finding Namibia's large offshore oil pools. In addition to mitigating exploration risk, Universal's partnership with HRT O&G will significantly reduce our net risked capital exposure by sharing costs associated with the data acquisition and scientific work that will precede the drilling of any wells. HRT O&G also brings strategic relationships with many of the world's major oil and gas companies that could lead to further partnering opportunities."
About Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A
The blocks collectively span an area of 15,382 square kilometers (1,538,200 hectares, or 3,789,094 acres). The three blocks are contiguous, and are positioned immediately west and diagonally southwest of the large Kudu gas discovery, located in the southern portion of the Namibian offshore leases in what is geologically known as the Orange basin. In addition, the three blocks link to Universal's 90%-owned 2713A and 2713B blocks to the north, and 90%-owned 2815 to the east.
The PEL for blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A has three phases, with the agreement effective May 14, 2010. Phase 1 spans four years, with work program commitments focused on assembly, interpretation, and mapping of existing 2D and 3D seismic data followed by new acquisition of seismic data. Additional techniques may also be employed that will add to detailed satellite oil slick detection, geotechnical, and geochemical field work that has already been done by or on behalf of Universal in the Orange basin. The estimated gross cost of the first four-year phase is US$8,500,000. Phases 2 and 3 are each renewable for a two year period, and carry a commitment to drill one well during each phase.
About HRT O&G
HRT O&G is an oil and gas company based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HRT Participações em Petróleo S.A. ("HRTP"). The HRT O&G team is led by Dr. Marcio Mello, who founded HRT Petroleum in 2004 after a very successful 24-year career at Petrobras, which included a 17-year span running the technical centre of excellence of Petrobras-CEGEQ. From 2004 until mid-2009, Dr. Marcio Mello was the CEO of HRT Petroleum, which was strictly a geologic consultancy company with the biggest geoscientific lab in the southern hemisphere. Over the years, the HRT team has gained global recognition for their expertise in building fully-integrated 3-D compositional petroleum system basin models, putting full use of investigative techniques based on geochemistry, biostratigraphy, seismic interpretation, structural geology, oceanography, and biology, in their efforts to reduce exploration risk. The HRT team is credited, among their many accomplishments, with predicting hydrocarbon presence in the pre-salt of Brazil's Santos basin, which led to the giant Carioca and Tupi oil discoveries. The services offered by HRT Petroleum continue to exist through Integrated Petroleum Expertise Co. ("IPEX"), which is now another wholly-owned subsidiary of HRTP. Universal has a Services Agreement with IPEX on blocks 2713A and 2815 and expects the work contained in the agreement to be completed in June, 2010.
About Universal Power Corp.
Universal Power Corp. is an oil and gas company focused on building a portfolio of high impact exploration targets in offshore Namibia, Africa. The Company has more than 51,000 gross square kilometers of Namibian offshore concessions along the prolific South Atlantic Margin. The Company has a newly expanded managerial and technical team supported by strong Namibian partnerships, and is thus well positioned to make a significant contribution to the exploration and development of Namibia's offshore oil and gas concessions.

Universal announces prospective crude oil resources in offshore Namibia's Block 2713A
1:45 PM ET, June 9, 2010
CALGARY, Jun 9, 2010 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
"UNX" TSX-V "3U2A" Frankfurt Shares Outstanding: 85,667,157
Universal Power Corp. ("Universal" or the "Company") today announced prospective resource estimates for the Company's 90% owned 2713A Exploration Licence, representing approximately 16% of Universal's net land position in offshore Namibia. The property is located on the boundary between the Luderitz and the Orange Basin in the southern portion of Namibia. The prospective resource estimates were provided by a third party independent report (the "2713A Evaluation") supplied by DeGolyer and MacNaughton ("D&M") of Dallas, Texas. The D&M Prospective Resource Evaluation Report for Block 2713A, effective April 1, 2010, was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101"), Sections 5.9 and 5.10 standards for review and assessment of prospective resources. Overall, D&M has reported an unrisked mean oil-equivalent prospective resource at Block 2713A of 2.39 billion BOE (converting gas to oil at 6:1), and a risked mean prospective resource of 567 million BOE.
"The 2713A Evaluation provides an independent resource evaluation and is an important step forward in Universal's exploration program," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, CEO of Universal Power. "The calculated probability of success of 23% for the Block makes for robust risked economics and supports our belief that there is significant crude oil to be found in offshore Namibia. We feel that collectively the defined prospective resource of Block 2713A, related scientific findings and the large structural features already mapped will be of significant interest to the world's major oil and gas companies."

Of note, only a portion of Block 2713A has been mapped, leading to the identification of two oil prospects and two leads, all of which were reviewed by D&M for purposes of the resource report. The most significant prospect, Chimay, is a sub-salt equivalent play similar in age and geologic setting to the large Tupi and Jupiter discoveries made in the Santos Basin in offshore Brazil.
The 2713A Evaluation is authored by D&M independent consultant, Thomas C. Pence, P.E., registered in the State of Texas. The report has been prepared in accordance with Sections 5.9 and 5.10 of NI 51-101, and is based upon the authors' review of technical data including geology, geophysics and reservoir parameters.
The full 2713A Evaluation Report is available on the Company's website at www.universalpowercorp.com and is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Universal recommends that readers refer to the 2713A Evaluation in its entirety as it details the process for determining the resource estimate, the assumptions underpinning the modeling, and defines all of the technical terms used.
The resources described in the 2713A Evaluation and in this release are "undiscovered resources" as defined in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation ("COGE") Handbook. Undiscovered resources are defined as those quantities of oil and gas estimates on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The estimate of the potentially recoverable portions of undiscovered resources are classified as prospective resources. Prospective resources are defined as those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations technically viable and economic to recover.
In accordance with Section 5.9 of NI 51-101, the Company declares that there is no certainty that any portion of these resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.
Summary of the Block 2713A
The Company's 90% owned subsidiary Kunene Energy (Proprietary) Limited holds the interest in the permit and the exploration concession, issued on August 30, 2007, by the Republic of Namibia, Ministry of Mines and Energy. The 2713A Block totals 5,481 square kilometers.
Exploration Risk
The 2713A Evaluation provides a discussion assessing the probability of geological success in undertaking a test well program on the 2713A prospect. The risk factors in assessing the probability are associated with source rock risk, migration risk, reservoir risk, closure risk, and containment risk, each of which are discussed in the 2713A Evaluation. A negative outcome from any one of, or a combination of, these risk factors has the potential for failure to discover economic concentrations of hydrocarbons.
3D Seismic Plan at Block 2713A
Universal is currently in the first exploration period which consists of four years of technical work. The Company plans on completing a 3D seismic program over the prospective areas that Universal currently has access to. The acquisition of seismic should be complete by March 31, 2011.

About BOE
BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

(1) The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.
See “Plan of Distribution”.
(2) Before deducting the expenses of the Offering, estimated to be $300,000, which will be paid from the gross proceeds of the
Offering.
(3) The Company has granted the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional
1,714,500 Common Shares (the “Option Shares”) on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, exercisable in whole
or in part at any time from the date of the closing of the Offering until and including 30 days thereafter, to cover overallotments,
if any. In respect of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company will pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 6% of
the proceeds realized on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, or $0.105 per Option Share. If the Over-Allotment
Option is exercised in full, the total offering, Underwriters’ fee and net proceeds to the Company (before deducting
expenses of the total offering) will be $23,002,875, $1,380,172.50 and $21,622,702.50, respectively. This short form
prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and a
purchaser who acquires Option Shares forming any part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position, if applicable, acquires
those Option Shares under this short form prospectus, regardless of whether the Underwriters’ over-allocation position is
ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. See “Plan of
Distribution”.
The following table sets forth the number of Option Shares that have been issued or may be issued by the
Company pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option:

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when
issued by the Company and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the
Underwriting Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to approval of certain legal
matters relating the Offering on behalf of the Company by McCarthy Tétrault LLP and on behalf of the
Underwriters by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP. The Offered Shares and Option Shares are to be taken up
by the Underwriters, if at all, on or before a date not later than 42 days after the receipt for this short form
prospectus.
Subscription for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and
the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that closing will
iii
occur on or about July 8, 2010, or such other date as the Company and the Underwriters may agree, but in any
event, not later than July 31, 2010. See “Plan of Distribution”.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After a
reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the price specified, the Underwriters
may subsequently reduce the selling price to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the
Offered Shares remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the
Company. See “Plan of Distribution”.
Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with the Offering, effect transactions which
stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise
prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “Plan of
Distribution”.
An investment in the Offered Shares involves a high degree of risk, should be considered speculative
and is only suitable for those investors who are willing to risk a loss of their entire investment. An
investment in the Offered Shares is speculative due to the nature of the Company’s involvement in the
exploration for, and the acquisition, development and production of, oil and natural gas reserves and
resources outside of Canada. See the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” and
“Forward-Looking Statements” in this short form prospectus and in the AIF (as defined herein).
Investors should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this short form
prospectus. The Company has not authorized anyone to provide investors with different information.

date other than the date of this short form prospectus.

In this short form prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
Oil & Natural Gas Liquids Natural Gas
Bbls Barrels of crude oil Mcf Thousand cubic feet of natural gas
Bbls/d Barrels of crude oil per day MMcf Million cubic feet of natural gas
Boe Barrels of oil equivalent Bcf Billion cubic feet of natural gas
Boe/d Barrels of oil equivalent per day Tcf Trillion cubic feet of natural gas
Mbbl Thousands of barrels of crude oil Mcfd Thousand cubic feet of natural gas per day
NGL Natural gas liquids Mcfe Thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent
Other
API an indication of the specific gravity of crude oil measured on the API gravity scale. Liquid petroleum
with a specified gravity of 28° API or higher is generally referred to as light crude oil.
The calculation of Boe and Mcf are based on the standard of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl when converting natural gas to oil
and 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf when converting oil to natural gas. Boe and Mcfe may be misleading, particularly if used
in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl or an Mcfe conversion ratio of 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf is based on
an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.

Intercorporate Relationships
The material subsidiaries owned by Universal as at the date hereof are set out in the following organization
chart:
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Universal is an international oil and gas company with its head office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and oil and
gas interests in Namibia, Africa. The Company is focused on building a portfolio of highly prospective and
under-explored exploration and development targets. Management follows the Project Generator business
model, using joint ventures to fund exploration in order to reduce risk and minimize shareholder dilution:
• Stage 1: Identify and acquire high potential properties then compile, acquire and interpret data;
• Stage 2: Perform early stage or confirmatory exploration and/or advance property to the drill-ready
stage;
• Stage 3: Find partners that will earn an interest in projects by committing to exploration costs and by
potentially reimbursing the Company for exploration back costs; and
• Stage 4: Create joint venture after partner has “earned-in”. Each partner is then responsible for their
percentage interest.
The Company’s strategy in the short term is to investigate the availability of reasonable farm-out terms with
industry partners and to implement further work programs that will add to the Company’s prospects.
The management team has established good relationships with the Namibian Government and its Black
Economic Empowerment partners with over eight years of in-country development. The Company is focused
on the exploration of the South Atlantic margin basins in offshore Namibia and has working interest in 42,370
square kilometres and carried interest in 8,903 square kilometres of exploration concessions.
The Company has focused its efforts in offshore Namibia as it believes that Namibia shares a common
geological history with Brazil and a similar petroleum system style and given the three large discoveries
9
which have been recently reported in deeper horizons within the Santos Basin in Brazil (Tupi, Carioca and
Jupiter), there is potential in Namibia for similar large oil and gas discoveries.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES AND OBLIGATIONS
Block 1711 (Carried interest as at June 16, 2010 – 2.7%)
Block 1711 is located in the northern part of the Namibian continental shelf and is part of Kwanza-Cameroon
Province. The Block’s size is approximately 8,903 square kilometres.
The petroleum agreement for Block 1711 includes an initial exploration period of four years, which ended in
March, 2010. On April 5, 2010 the petroleum exploration licence for Block 1711 was renewed for an
additional two year period, moving it to the second exploration period. The Company has a carried interest in
Block 1711, and therefore does not have any financial obligation. The carried dollar amount during the
exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a percentage of the carried party’s net
cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery. Other license holders and their respective interests in Block
1711 are as follows: Sintez Group LLC and Nakor Investments Limited (70% working interest); the
Petroleum, Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (“PetroSA”) (10% working interest);
EnerGulf Namibia Inc. (10% working interest); National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Pty) Ltd. (7%
10
carried interest); and Kunene Energy (Proprietary) Limited (3% carried interest). The Company owns 90% of
Kunene Energy (Proprietary) Limited and as such the Company holds a 2.7% carried interest in Block 1711.
Blocks 2713A, 2713B, 2815, 2816, 2915, 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A
Block 2713A and Block 2713B (Working interest as at June 16, 2010 – 90%)
Blocks 2713A and 2713B are located in the southern portion of Namibia. These Blocks are approximately
150 kilometres offshore and approximately 150 kilometres northwest of the Kudu gas field, which consumes
most of Block 2814C. Each Block is 5,481 square kilometres (for a total of 10,962 square kilometres) and is
situated on the boundary between the Luderitz and the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. These Blocks are
adjacent to blocks currently being explored by Petrobras Energia Participaciones SA.
The 10% that the Company does not own in the petroleum exploration license is a carried interest and the
carried dollar amount during the exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a
percentage of the carried party’s net cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery.
The exploration licences on Blocks 2713A and 2713B were granted for an initial exploration period of four
years, ending in August, 2011. The initial exploration period requires the execution of various technical
studies, seismic reprocessing, interpretation, mapping, the use of remote sensing equipment, 1,000 kilometres
of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition.
The total minimum capital expenditure required during the initial exploration period is US$1.1 million. In
fulfilling all obligations of the initial exploration period, the Company has outstanding commitments on these
Blocks of 1,000 kilometres of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition in
the amount of $7.5 million, which must be completed by the expiry date of August 2011.
Prior to the expiry of the petroleum exploration license, and assuming that the Company has met its
obligations, the Company will notify the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia if it
intends to commit to the first renewal exploration period. If the Company does not elect to renew, the Blocks
will expire with no further commitments. If the Company elects to renew and the Ministry of Mines and
Energy of the Republic of Namibia grants the renewal, then the commitments for the first renewal exploration
period will take effect. The commitment for 2713A and 2713B for the first renewal period is the drilling of
11
one exploration well to a minimum depth of 4,000 metres below the seabed between August 2011 and August
2013, at a minimum total cost of US$5 million.
Blocks 2815, 2816, and 2915 (Working interest as at June 16, 2010 – 90%)
Blocks 2815, 2816, and 2915 are located in the southern-most portion of Namibia, offshore, and east of the
Kudu gas field. The three Blocks collectively cover approximately 16,026 square kilometres and are located
in the sedimentary region known as the Orange Basin. Block 2815 is approximately 10,420 square
kilometres, Block 2816 is approximately 2,055 square kilometres and Block 2915 is approximately 3,551
square kilometres.
The 10% that that the Company does not own in the petroleum exploration license is a carried interest and the
carried dollar amount during the exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a
percentage of the carried party’s net cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery.
The exploration licences on Blocks 2815, 2816, and 2915, were granted for an initial exploration period of
four years, ending in September, 2010. The initial exploration period requires the execution of various
technical studies, seismic reprocessing, interpretation, mapping, the use of remote sensing equipment, 1,500
kilometres of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition.
The total minimum capital expenditure required during the initial exploration period is US$3.1 million. In
fulfilling all obligations of the initial exploration period, the Company still has outstanding commitments on
the Blocks of 1,500 kilometres of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition
in the amount of $8.25 million, which must be completed before September 22, 2010 (subject to the expiry
date for any extension). The Company has applied for an extension on Blocks 2815, 2816 and 2915, however,
no assurances can be made that such extension will be granted. See “Risk Factors” in the AIF, which is
incorporated by reference herein.
Prior to the expiry of the petroleum exploration license, and assuming that the Company has met its
obligations, the Company will notify the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia if it
intends to commit to the first renewal exploration period. If the Company does not elect to renew, the Blocks
will expire with no further commitments. If the Company elects to renew and the Ministry of Mines and
Energy of the Republic of Namibia grants the renewal, then the commitments for the first renewal exploration
period will take effect. The commitment for 2815, 2816 and 2915 for the first renewal period is 200 square
kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition, the identification of additional drilling targets and the drilling of one
exploration well to a minimum depth of 3,000 metres below the seabed, by the end of the first renewal
exploration period, at a minimum total cost of US$10 million.
Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A (Working interest as at June 16, 2010 – 40%)
Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A are located in the southern portion of Namibia, offshore, west and south of
the Kudu gas field. The three Blocks collectively cover approximately 15,382 square kilometres and are
located in the sedimentary region known as the Orange Basin. Block 2813A is approximately 5,440 square
kilometres, Block 2814B is approximately 4,564 square kilometres and Block 2914A is approximately 5,378
square kilometres. Other license holders and their respective interests in Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A
are as follows: HRT Oil & Gas Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltd. (“HRT”) (40% working interest and
operator) and Acarus Investments (Proprietary) Ltd. (“Acarus”) (20% carried interest). The carried dollar
amount during the exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a percentage of the
carried party’s net cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery.
12
The exploration licences on Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A, were granted for an initial exploration period
of four years, ending in May, 2014. The initial exploration period requires the execution of various technical
studies, seismic reprocessing, interpretation, mapping, the use of remote sensing equipment, 2,000 kilometres
of 2D seismic acquisition or 500 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition.
The total minimum capital expenditure required during the initial exploration period is US$8.5 million gross
(US$4.25 million net to the Company). The outstanding commitments on the Blocks in the first year of the
exploration period ending May 2011 is US$0.5 million (net to the Company), and in the second to fourth year
between May 2012 and May 2014, a total of US$3.75 million (net to the Company).
Prior to the expiry of the petroleum exploration license, and assuming that the Company has met its
obligations, the joint venture will notify the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia if it
intends to commit to the first renewal exploration period. If the joint venture does not elect to renew, the
Blocks will expire with no further commitments. If the joint venture elects to renew and the Ministry of
Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia grants the renewal, then the commitments for the first renewal
exploration period will take effect. The commitment for 2813A, 2814B and 2914A for the first renewal
period is the drilling of one exploration well between May 2014 and May 2016, at a minimum total cost of
US$22.5 million net.
Fiscal Terms of Licenses
Assuming there is a commercial discovery, each of the Company’s exploration licenses are subject to a 35%
federal tax and quarterly 5% royalty on the market value of the petroleum produced. In addition, the
exploration licenses may be subject to an after-profits tax (“APT”). The Company’s highest APT on the three
exploration licenses is 8%, being on the recently acquired blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A. The APT at
petroleum exploration license 2713 and petroleum exploration license 2815 is zero percent.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Award of Blocks 2813A, 2814B and 2914A
On May 17, 2010, the Company was awarded a 40% working interest in a petroleum exploration license for
the offshore Namibian Blocks 2813A, 2814B and 2914A by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the
Republic of Namibia. HRT has a 40% working interest and operates the blocks, and Acarus has a 20%
carried interest to be reimbursed by way of a percentage of the carried group’s net cash flow in the event of a
commercial discovery. The three blocks link to Universal’s 90%-owned 2713A and 2713B blocks to the
north, and 90% owned 2815, 2816 and 2915 to the east.
Appointment of Independent Directors
On May 25, 2010, the Company appointed Mr. Michael Black and Mr. Keith Turnbull as independent
members of the board of directors.
Independent Resource Estimate
On June 25, 2010, the Company filed a report dated June 15, 2010, in which the Company announced
prospective resource estimates for the Company’s 90% owned 2713A exploration licence, representing
approximately 16% of Universal’s net land position in offshore Namibia, Africa. The prospective resource
estimates were provided by DeGolyer and MacNaughton (“D&M”), a third party independent engineering
firm, in a report titled “Report as of April 1, 2010 on the Prospective Resources attributable to Certain
Prospects and Leads with interests owned by Universal Power Corp. in License Block 2713-A Namibia NI13
51-101” (the “2713A Evaluation”) and can be found on SEDAR. The 2713A Evaluation reported an unrisked
mean oil-equivalent prospective resource at Block 2713A of 2.39 billion Boe (converting gas to oil at 6:1) and
a risked mean prospective resource of 567 million Boe. There is no certainty that any portion of the resources
will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any
portion of resources. Please see the table below for a summary of the 2713A Evaluation.
The following tables summarize the risked and unrisked prospective resources of the 2713A exploration
licence, of which the Company owns a 90% interest. The numbers in the following tables are provided on a
gross basis.

Notes:
(1) Application of Pg does not equate prospective resources to contingent resources or reserves.
(2) Recovery efficiency is applied to prospective resources in this table.
Estimates of prospective resources should be regarded only as estimates that may change as additional
information becomes available. Not only are such prospective resources estimates based on that information
which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application
of judgmental factors in interpreting such information. Prospective resource quantities estimates should not be
confused with those quantities that are associated with contingent resources or reserves due to the additional
risks involved. The quantities that might actually be recovered should they be discovered and developed may
differ significantly from the estimates presented in the 2713A Evaluation.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The following table sets forth the Company’s consolidation capitalization as at March 31, 2010 and as at June
23, 2010 before and after giving effect to the Offering. This table should be read in conjunction with the Q1
2010 Financial Statements and related management’s discussion and analysis, both of which are incorporated
by reference into this short form prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Offered Shares under this short form prospectus are
estimated to be $18,502,350 after deducting the Underwriters’ fee of $1,200,150 and the estimated expenses
of the Offering of $300,000. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the net proceeds of the
Offering, after deducting the Underwriters’ fee of $1,380,172.50 and expenses of the Offering of $300,000,
are estimated to be approximately $21,322,702.50.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be primarily used by the Company to fund the balance of the work
commitments in Blocks 2713A, 2713B, 2815, 2816, 2915, 2813A, 2814B and 2914A as outlined below.
Unallocated proceeds will be added to the working capital of the Company.
Activity Total
Seismic Acquisition and Processing $17,502,350
Geological Investigations $1,000,000
Total: $18,502,350
The Company plans to spend $16.25 million over the next year and the remaining $2.3 million during the
summer and fall of 2011.
The Company anticipates spending $16.25 million on Block commitments for seismic acquisition and
processing. Approximately 500 square kilometres of 3D seismic will be acquired in Block 2713A, for a total
of approximately $7.5 million, starting in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, approximately 550 square
kilometres of 3D seismic will be acquired in Block 2815, over the most promising acreage in the Block, for a
total of $8.25 million. The Company also plans to fulfil its first year commitments in Blocks 2813A, 2814B
and 2914A in accordance with the petroleum agreement in these Blocks, for a total of $0.5 million. Universal
expects to convert the 2D seismic commitments to 3D equivalent at a 10 to 1 ratio, in accordance with
industry standards.
In addition, during the summer and fall of 2011 the Company will purchase trade seismic and perform
geological investigations totalling approximately $2.3 million. These expenditures are not part of the
Company’s exploration commitments but are required to understand the geological framework of the blocks.
17
The use of the net proceeds of the Offering by the Company is consistent with Universal’s business strategy
and commitments on the existing exploration licences in Namibia. While Universal believes that it has the
skills and resources necessary to accomplish its stated business objectives, participation in the exploration for
and development of oil and natural gas has a number of inherent risks. See “Risk Factors” in this short form
prospectus and the AIF, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Although the Company intends to expend the net proceeds from the Offering as described above, the actual
allocation of net proceeds may vary from that set out above, depending on future operations of the Company’s
properties or unforeseen events, but in any event, will be used by the Company in furtherance of its business.
DETAILS OF THE OFFERING
The Offering consists of 11,430,000 Offered Shares at a price of $1.75 per Offered Share for aggregate gross
proceeds of $20,002,500. The Company has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option,
exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time within 30 days after the
Closing, enabling them to purchase up to an additional 1,714,500 Option Shares at a price of $1.75 per Option
Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $23,002,875.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Under an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated June 18, 2010, among the
Company and the Underwriters, the Company has agreed to issue and sell and the Underwriters have
severally, and not jointly, agreed to purchase on July 8, 2010, or such other date as may be agreed by the
Company and the Underwriters (subject to the termination rights described below), the Offered Shares at a
price of $1.75 per Common Share, payable in cash to the Company against delivery, subject to compliance
with all necessary legal requirements and terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several and not joint, and may be
terminated at their discretion on the basis of their assessment of the state of the financial markets and may
also be terminated upon the occurrence of certain stated events. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to
take up and pay for all Offered Shares if any are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. If one or more
of the Underwriters fails to purchase its allotment of the Offered Shares that it has agreed to purchase, the
remaining Underwriters are obligated to purchase the Offered Shares not purchased by the Underwriter or
Underwriters which fail to purchase unless the percentage of the total number of Offered Shares which one or
more of the Underwriters fail to purchase exceeds 5.26% of the total number of Offered Shares being offered,
in which case the remaining Underwriters may, but are not obligated to, purchase such Offered Shares. The
Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Underwriters and their affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents against certain liabilities and expenses.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that, the Company will pay the Underwriters a fee of $0.105 per
Offered Share for an aggregate fee payable by the Company of $1,200,150, in consideration for services of
the Underwriters in connection with the Offering. The terms of the Offering, including the Offering Price,
were determined by negotiation between the Company and Cormark on its own behalf and on behalf of the
other Underwriters.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part in
the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time within 30 days after the Closing, enabling them to purchase
up to an additional 1,714,500 Option Shares at a price of $1.75 per Common Share. In respect of the Over-
Allotment Option, the Company will pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 6% of the proceeds realized on the
exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or $0.105 per Common Share. If the Over-Allotment Option is
exercised in full, the total Offering, the Underwriters’ fee and the net proceeds to the Company (before
18
deducting expenses of the Offering) will be approximately $23,002,875, $1,380,172.50 and $21,622,702.50,
respectively. This short form prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Offered Shares (including Option
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) and a purchaser who acquires Common Shares
forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those Common Shares under this short
form prospectus regardless of whether the over-allocation position is filled through exercise of the Over-
Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.
It is expected that closing of the Offering will occur on or about July 8, 2010, or such other date as the
Company and the Underwriters may agree but in any event, not later than July 31, 2010.
Pursuant to applicable securities legislation, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution
under this short from prospectus, bid for or purchase Common Shares. The foregoing restriction is subject to
exceptions provided the bid or purchase is not engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent
trading in, or raising the price of, the Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted
under the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces administered by the Investment
Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada relating to market stabilization and passive market-making
activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during
the period of distribution. In connection with this Offering, and subject to the foregoing, the Underwriters
may effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels above
those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After a reasonable effort
has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the price specified, the Underwriters may subsequently
reduce the selling prices to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the Offered Shares remaining
unsold. In the event the Offering Price is reduced, the compensation received by the Underwriters will be
decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the Offered Shares is less than the
gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Offered Shares. Any such reduction will not
affect the proceeds received by the Company or the fees payable by the Company to the Underwriters in
connection with the Offering.
The Company has agreed that, from the date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending on the date that is 90
days following the closing date of the Offering, that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, or announce the
offering of, or make or announce any agreement to issue, sell, or exchange Common Shares or securities
convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers
any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, without the prior written consent of
Cormark (on behalf of the Underwriters), not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may, without such consent: (i) grant options to directors, officers, consultants or
employees of the Company pursuant to the Company’s shareholder approved stock option plan and Common
Shares issued upon their exercise; (ii) issue the Offered Shares including any Option Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Over-Allotment Option; and (iii) issue Common Shares on exercise of outstanding warrants,
rights or agreements as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement.
The TSXV has conditionally approved the listing of the Offered Shares (including the Option Shares issuable
pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option) distributed under this short form prospectus, subject to the Company
fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSXV contained in the TSXV conditional approval letter.
This short form prospectus and the Offering are addressed to, and are distributed to and directed at, only those
persons in the United Kingdom who (i) are “qualified investors” within the meaning of section 86(7) of the
FSMA and fall within the categories of persons referred to in Article 19 (Investment professionals) or Article
49 (High net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc.) of the Financial Services and Markets Act
19
2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended), or (ii) are persons to whom, or at whom,
communications in respect of the securities being offered hereunder may otherwise be lawfully made or
directed (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). Any investment or investment
activity to which this prospectus relates is available in the United Kingdom only to relevant persons and will
be engaged in only with relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on
this prospectus or any of its contents. This prospectus contains no offer of transferable securities to the public
in the United Kingdom within the meaning of sections 85(1) and 102B of the FSMA. This prospectus is not a
prospectus for the purposes of section 85(1) of the FSMA. Accordingly, this prospectus has not been
approved as a prospectus by the FSA under section 87A of the FSMA, and has not been filed with the FSA or
published pursuant to the United Kingdom Prospectus Rules issued by the FSA and has not been approved by
a person authorised under the FSMA.
Each Underwriter has represented and agreed that: (i) it has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any
securities in contravention of section 21(1) of the FSMA or in circumstances which would require the
publication of an approved prospectus pursuant to section 85(1) of the FSMA; and (ii) it has complied and
will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the
securities in, or otherwise involving, the United Kingdom.
The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “1933 Act”) or any state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold within
the United States except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and
applicable state securities laws. Except as permitted in the Underwriting Agreement and as expressly
permitted by applicable laws of the United States, the Underwriters will not offer or sell the Offered Shares
within the United States. The Underwriting Agreement permits the Underwriters to offer and resell the
Offered Shares that they have acquired pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement to “qualified institutional
buyers” (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the 1933 Act) in the United Sates, provided such offers
and sales are made in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act in accordance
with Rule 144A, and similar exemptions under applicable state securities laws. The Underwriting Agreement
also permits the Underwriters to designate institutional accredited investors that meet the criteria in Rule
501(a)(1),(2),(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act to whom the Company may sell the Offered
Shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act in accordance with Rule 506
of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and similar exemptions under applicable state securities laws.
Moreover, the Underwriting Agreement provides that the Underwriters will offer and sell the Offered Shares
outside the United States only in accordance with Regulation S under the 1933 Act. This short form
prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation or an offer to buy any of the Offered Shares in
the United States.
In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of this Offering, an offer or sale of the Offered Shares
within the United Sates by any dealer (whether or not participating in the Offering) may violate the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an
exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, counsel to the Company, and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP,
counsel to the Underwriters, based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations
thereunder in force as of the date hereof (the “Tax Act”), and the proposed amendments to the Tax Act
publicly announced by or on behalf of, the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, the Offered
Shares if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for trusts governed by
registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered disability savings plans,
deferred profit sharing plans, registered education savings plans and tax-free savings accounts (“TFSA”)
20
(collectively “Plans”), provided that the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which
currently includes the TSXV) at the time of issuance.
Notwithstanding that the Offered Shares may be qualified investment for a trust governed by a TFSA, the
holder of a TFSA will be subject to a penalty tax on the Offered Shares held in the TFSA if such Offered
Shares are a “prohibited investment” for the purposes of section 207.01 of the Tax Act. The Offered Shares
will generally be a “prohibited investment” if the holder of the TFSA does not deal at arm’s length with the
Company for the purposes of the Tax Act or the holder of the TFSA has a “significant interest” (as defined in
the Tax Act) in the Company or a person or partnership with which the Company does not deal at arm’s
length for the purposes of the Tax Act.
Effective for transactions after October 16, 2009, newly proposed amendments to the Tax Act (the “Proposed
TFSA Amendments”) would subject any transfer of property (other than a contribution) by a holder or by a
person who does not deal at arm’s length with a holder (such as other exempt plans of the holder) to the
holder’s TFSA to a tax equal to 100% of the increase in the total fair market value of the property held in
connection with the holder's TFSA that is attributable to the transfer and would also subject any income or
capital gain earned after October 16, 2009 that is reasonably attributed to a "prohibited investment" or a
"deliberate over-contribution" to tax equal to 100% of the income or capital gain. No assurance can be given
that the Proposed TFSA Amendments will be enacted in their current form or at all.
Prospective investors who intend to hold Offered Shares in their TFSAs should consult their own tax
advisors regarding their particular circumstances.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares involves a number of risks. Before investing, prospective purchasers
of Common Shares should carefully consider, in light of their own financial circumstances, the factors set out
below, as well as other information and risk factors contained in or incorporated by reference in this short
form prospectus, including those risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” of the AIF, and those
risk factors set forth under the heading “Forward Looking Information” of the MD&A, which are
incorporated by reference herein.
Risks Related to the Offering
The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile.
The trading price of securities of junior and intermediate oil and natural gas companies is subject to
substantial volatility, and such trading prices have been particularly volatile in recent months. This volatility
is often based on factors both related and unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies
involved. The market price of the Common Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to
variations in the Company’s operating results, financial condition, liquidity and other internal factors. Factors
that could affect the market price of the Common Shares that are unrelated to performance include domestic
and global commodity prices and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price
at which the Common Shares will trade cannot be accurately predicted.
The net proceeds of the Offering may not be used in the manner described in this short form prospectus.
As set out under “Use of Proceeds” in this short form prospectus, the Company intends to use a portion of the
net proceeds of the Offering to fund capital expenditure programs. The remainder will be used to fund
working capital requirements, however there are no definite plans for the use of these additional funds as of
the date hereof. Accordingly, although these allocations are based on the current expectation of management
of the Company, there may be circumstances where, for business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be
21
necessary as may be determined at the discretion of management of the Company, and there can be no
assurance as of the date of this short form prospectus as to how those funds may be reallocated.
The Offering may result in dilution of cash flow and/or net income on a per Common Share basis.
Although the Company expects that the net proceeds of the Offering will enhance the Company’s liquidity, to
the extent that a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering remains as cash, the Offering may result in
dilution to the Company’s cash flow and/or net income on a per Common Share basis.
Forward-Looking Information May Prove Inaccurate
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature,
forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of
both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by
the forward-looking information or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will
prove to be materially inaccurate.
Additional information on the risks, assumptions and uncertainties are found in this short form prospectus
under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”.
Reliance on Industry Partners
The Company relies on industry partners with respect to the evaluation, acquisition and development of, and
future production from, its properties and a failure or inability to perform by such partners could materially
affect the prospects of the Company and its ability to implement its business strategy and operations.
Crime and governmental or business corruption could significantly disrupt the Company’s ability to
conduct its business, impair title to its properties and could materially adversely affect its financial
condition and results of operations.
The Namibian government is reported to be conducting corruption and other investigations into the mining
and energy industries in Namibia. Persons operating and conducting business in Namibia, including the
Company and its officers, directors and employees may be the subject of press speculation, government
investigations and other accusations of corrupt practices or illegal activities. The Company is not aware of
any current investigations specific only to the Company or any adverse findings against it, its directors,
officers or employees and no allegations of corruption have been made and no charges have brought against
the Company. Furthermore, the Company conducts its business in accordance with good oil and gas industry
practice in the oil and gas industry and in material compliance with all applicable laws.
Findings against the Company, its directors, officers or employees, or their involvement in corruption or other
illegal activity could result in criminal or civil penalties, including substantial monetary fines, against the
Company, its directors, officers or employees. Findings against the Company, its directors, officers or
employees, or their involvement in corruption or other illegal activity could result in legal challenges to the
title to assets currently owned by the Company. In addition, findings of corrupt practices or other illegal
activities by any joint venture partner or license holder in connection with any petroleum exploration licenses
in which the Company has an interest may result in the loss or forfeiture of certain or all rights of the
Company under such petroleum exploration licenses. Any government investigations or other allegations
against the Company, its directors, officers or employees, or finding of involvement in corruption or other
illegal activity by such persons or the joint venture partners of the Company or others with whom the
Company conducts business, could significantly damage the Company’s reputation and its ability to do
business and could materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS
Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw
from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt
or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation
further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or
damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the
purchaser, provided that such remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the
purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The
purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for
the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

(including the Option Shares (as defined herein) issuable pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option (as defined
ii
herein)) distributed under this short form prospectus, subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing
requirements of the TSXV contained in the TSXV conditional approval letter.
The terms of the Offering, including the Offering Price, were determined by negotiation between the
Company and Cormark Securities Inc. (“Cormark”), on its own behalf and on behalf of Macquarie Capital
Markets Canada Ltd., Clarus Securities Inc., FirstEnergy Capital Corp. and Raymond James Ltd.
(collectively, the “Underwriters”). See “Plan of Distribution”.

See “Plan of Distribution”.
(2) Before deducting the expenses of the Offering, estimated to be $300,000, which will be paid from the gross proceeds of the
Offering.
(3) The Company has granted the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional
1,714,500 Common Shares (the “Option Shares”) on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, exercisable in whole
or in part at any time from the date of the closing of the Offering until and including 30 days thereafter, to cover overallotments,
if any. In respect of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company will pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 6% of
the proceeds realized on the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, or $0.105 per Option Share. If the Over-Allotment
Option is exercised in full, the total offering, Underwriters’ fee and net proceeds to the Company (before deducting
expenses of the total offering) will be $23,002,875, $1,380,172.50 and $21,622,702.50, respectively. This short form
prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and a
purchaser who acquires Option Shares forming any part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position, if applicable, acquires
those Option Shares under this short form prospectus, regardless of whether the Underwriters’ over-allocation position is
ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases. See “Plan of
Distribution”.
The following table sets forth the number of Option Shares that have been issued or may be issued by the
Company pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option:
Underwriters’ Position

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares, subject to prior sale, if, as and when
issued by the Company and accepted by the Underwriters in accordance with the conditions contained in the
Underwriting Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to approval of certain legal
matters relating the Offering on behalf of the Company by McCarthy Tétrault LLP and on behalf of the
Underwriters by Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP. The Offered Shares and Option Shares are to be taken up
by the Underwriters, if at all, on or before a date not later than 42 days after the receipt for this short form
prospectus.
Subscription for the Offered Shares will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and
the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that closing will
iii
occur on or about July 8, 2010, or such other date as the Company and the Underwriters may agree, but in any
event, not later than July 31, 2010. See “Plan of Distribution”.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After a
reasonable effort has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the price specified, the Underwriters
may subsequently reduce the selling price to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the
Offered Shares remaining unsold. Any such reduction will not affect the proceeds received by the
Company. See “Plan of Distribution”.
Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with the Offering, effect transactions which
stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise
prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. See “Plan of
Distribution”.
An investment in the Offered Shares involves a high degree of risk, should be considered speculative
and is only suitable for those investors who are willing to risk a loss of their entire investment. An
investment in the Offered Shares is speculative due to the nature of the Company’s involvement in the
exploration for, and the acquisition, development and production of, oil and natural gas reserves and
resources outside of Canada. See the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” and
“Forward-Looking Statements” in this short form prospectus and in the AIF (as defined herein).
Investors should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this short form
prospectus. The Company has not authorized anyone to provide investors with different information.
Investors should not assume that the information contained in this short form prospectus is accurate as of any
date other than the date of this short form prospectus.

ABBREVIATIONS
In this short form prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the
following meanings:
Oil & Natural Gas Liquids Natural Gas
Bbls Barrels of crude oil Mcf Thousand cubic feet of natural gas
Bbls/d Barrels of crude oil per day MMcf Million cubic feet of natural gas
Boe Barrels of oil equivalent Bcf Billion cubic feet of natural gas
Boe/d Barrels of oil equivalent per day Tcf Trillion cubic feet of natural gas
Mbbl Thousands of barrels of crude oil Mcfd Thousand cubic feet of natural gas per day
NGL Natural gas liquids Mcfe Thousand cubic feet of gas equivalent
Other
API an indication of the specific gravity of crude oil measured on the API gravity scale. Liquid petroleum
with a specified gravity of 28° API or higher is generally referred to as light crude oil.
The calculation of Boe and Mcf are based on the standard of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl when converting natural gas to oil
and 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf when converting oil to natural gas. Boe and Mcfe may be misleading, particularly if used
in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf : 1 Bbl or an Mcfe conversion ratio of 1 Bbl : 6 Mcf is based on
an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value
equivalency at the wellhead.
PRESENTATION OF OIL AND GAS INFORMATION
All oil and gas information contained in this short form prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference herein, has been prepared and presented in accordance with National Instrument 51-101 – Standards
of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities (“NI 51-101”).
CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION
In this short form prospectus, references to “$” are references to Canadian dollars, references to “US$” are
references to United States dollars.
The following table sets forth, for each of the periods indicated, the high and low rates of exchange for one
Canadian dollar expressed in United States dollars, the average rate of exchange during each such period and
the end of period rate, each based on the noon buying rate published by the Bank of Canada (the “Noon

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this short form prospectus may constitute forward-looking statements. These
statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance. All statements other than statements
of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Statements relating to “reserve” or “resources” are
deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates

involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to
differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. The Company believes that the
expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable but no assurance can be given that
these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this short form
prospectus should not be unduly relied upon by investors.
These statements speak only as of the date of this short form prospectus and are expressly qualified, in their
entirety, by this cautionary statement.

Exploration Company.
On February 10, 2006, the Company adopted new Articles pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British

Intercorporate Relationships
The material subsidiaries owned by Universal as at the date hereof are set out in the following organization
chart:
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Universal is an international oil and gas company with its head office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and oil and
gas interests in Namibia, Africa. The Company is focused on building a portfolio of highly prospective and
under-explored exploration and development targets. Management follows the Project Generator business
model, using joint ventures to fund exploration in order to reduce risk and minimize shareholder dilution:
• Stage 1: Identify and acquire high potential properties then compile, acquire and interpret data;
• Stage 2: Perform early stage or confirmatory exploration and/or advance property to the drill-ready
stage;
• Stage 3: Find partners that will earn an interest in projects by committing to exploration costs and by
potentially reimbursing the Company for exploration back costs; and
• Stage 4: Create joint venture after partner has “earned-in”. Each partner is then responsible for their
percentage interest.
The Company’s strategy in the short term is to investigate the availability of reasonable farm-out terms with
industry partners and to implement further work programs that will add to the Company’s prospects.
The management team has established good relationships with the Namibian Government and its Black
Economic Empowerment partners with over eight years of in-country development. The Company is focused
on the exploration of the South Atlantic margin basins in offshore Namibia and has working interest in 42,370
square kilometres and carried interest in 8,903 square kilometres of exploration concessions.
The Company has focused its efforts in offshore Namibia as it believes that Namibia shares a common
geological history with Brazil and a similar petroleum system style and given the three large discoveries
9
which have been recently reported in deeper horizons within the Santos Basin in Brazil (Tupi, Carioca and
Jupiter), there is potential in Namibia for similar large oil and gas discoveries.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES AND OBLIGATIONS
Block 1711 (Carried interest as at June 16, 2010 – 2.7%)
Block 1711 is located in the northern part of the Namibian continental shelf and is part of Kwanza-Cameroon
Province. The Block’s size is approximately 8,903 square kilometres.
The petroleum agreement for Block 1711 includes an initial exploration period of four years, which ended in
March, 2010. On April 5, 2010 the petroleum exploration licence for Block 1711 was renewed for an
additional two year period, moving it to the second exploration period. The Company has a carried interest in
Block 1711, and therefore does not have any financial obligation. The carried dollar amount during the
exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a percentage of the carried party’s net
cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery. Other license holders and their respective interests in Block
1711 are as follows: Sintez Group LLC and Nakor Investments Limited (70% working interest); the
Petroleum, Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (Pty) Ltd. (“PetroSA”) (10% working interest);
EnerGulf Namibia Inc. (10% working interest); National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Pty) Ltd. (7%
10
carried interest); and Kunene Energy (Proprietary) Limited (3% carried interest). The Company owns 90% of
Kunene Energy (Proprietary) Limited and as such the Company holds a 2.7% carried interest in Block 1711.
Blocks 2713A, 2713B, 2815, 2816, 2915, 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A
Block 2713A and Block 2713B (Working interest as at June 16, 2010 – 90%)
Blocks 2713A and 2713B are located in the southern portion of Namibia. These Blocks are approximately
150 kilometres offshore and approximately 150 kilometres northwest of the Kudu gas field, which consumes
most of Block 2814C. Each Block is 5,481 square kilometres (for a total of 10,962 square kilometres) and is
situated on the boundary between the Luderitz and the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. These Blocks are
adjacent to blocks currently being explored by Petrobras Energia Participaciones SA.
The 10% that the Company does not own in the petroleum exploration license is a carried interest and the
carried dollar amount during the exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a
percentage of the carried party’s net cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery.
The exploration licences on Blocks 2713A and 2713B were granted for an initial exploration period of four
years, ending in August, 2011. The initial exploration period requires the execution of various technical
studies, seismic reprocessing, interpretation, mapping, the use of remote sensing equipment, 1,000 kilometres
of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition.
The total minimum capital expenditure required during the initial exploration period is US$1.1 million. In
fulfilling all obligations of the initial exploration period, the Company has outstanding commitments on these
Blocks of 1,000 kilometres of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition in
the amount of $7.5 million, which must be completed by the expiry date of August 2011.
Prior to the expiry of the petroleum exploration license, and assuming that the Company has met its
obligations, the Company will notify the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia if it
intends to commit to the first renewal exploration period. If the Company does not elect to renew, the Blocks
will expire with no further commitments. If the Company elects to renew and the Ministry of Mines and
Energy of the Republic of Namibia grants the renewal, then the commitments for the first renewal exploration
period will take effect. The commitment for 2713A and 2713B for the first renewal period is the drilling of
11
one exploration well to a minimum depth of 4,000 metres below the seabed between August 2011 and August
2013, at a minimum total cost of US$5 million.
Blocks 2815, 2816, and 2915 (Working interest as at June 16, 2010 – 90%)
Blocks 2815, 2816, and 2915 are located in the southern-most portion of Namibia, offshore, and east of the
Kudu gas field. The three Blocks collectively cover approximately 16,026 square kilometres and are located
in the sedimentary region known as the Orange Basin. Block 2815 is approximately 10,420 square
kilometres, Block 2816 is approximately 2,055 square kilometres and Block 2915 is approximately 3,551
square kilometres.
The 10% that that the Company does not own in the petroleum exploration license is a carried interest and the
carried dollar amount during the exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a
percentage of the carried party’s net cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery.
The exploration licences on Blocks 2815, 2816, and 2915, were granted for an initial exploration period of
four years, ending in September, 2010. The initial exploration period requires the execution of various
technical studies, seismic reprocessing, interpretation, mapping, the use of remote sensing equipment, 1,500
kilometres of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition.
The total minimum capital expenditure required during the initial exploration period is US$3.1 million. In
fulfilling all obligations of the initial exploration period, the Company still has outstanding commitments on
the Blocks of 1,500 kilometres of 2D seismic acquisition and 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition
in the amount of $8.25 million, which must be completed before September 22, 2010 (subject to the expiry
date for any extension). The Company has applied for an extension on Blocks 2815, 2816 and 2915, however,
no assurances can be made that such extension will be granted. See “Risk Factors” in the AIF, which is
incorporated by reference herein.
Prior to the expiry of the petroleum exploration license, and assuming that the Company has met its
obligations, the Company will notify the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia if it
intends to commit to the first renewal exploration period. If the Company does not elect to renew, the Blocks
will expire with no further commitments. If the Company elects to renew and the Ministry of Mines and
Energy of the Republic of Namibia grants the renewal, then the commitments for the first renewal exploration
period will take effect. The commitment for 2815, 2816 and 2915 for the first renewal period is 200 square
kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition, the identification of additional drilling targets and the drilling of one
exploration well to a minimum depth of 3,000 metres below the seabed, by the end of the first renewal
exploration period, at a minimum total cost of US$10 million.
Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A (Working interest as at June 16, 2010 – 40%)
Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A are located in the southern portion of Namibia, offshore, west and south of
the Kudu gas field. The three Blocks collectively cover approximately 15,382 square kilometres and are
located in the sedimentary region known as the Orange Basin. Block 2813A is approximately 5,440 square
kilometres, Block 2814B is approximately 4,564 square kilometres and Block 2914A is approximately 5,378
square kilometres. Other license holders and their respective interests in Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A
are as follows: HRT Oil & Gas Exploração e Produção de Petróleo Ltd. (“HRT”) (40% working interest and
operator) and Acarus Investments (Proprietary) Ltd. (“Acarus”) (20% carried interest). The carried dollar
amount during the exploration period will be reimbursed to the carrying party by way of a percentage of the
carried party’s net cash flow in the event of a commercial discovery.
12
The exploration licences on Blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A, were granted for an initial exploration period
of four years, ending in May, 2014. The initial exploration period requires the execution of various technical
studies, seismic reprocessing, interpretation, mapping, the use of remote sensing equipment, 2,000 kilometres
of 2D seismic acquisition or 500 square kilometres of 3D seismic acquisition.
The total minimum capital expenditure required during the initial exploration period is US$8.5 million gross
(US$4.25 million net to the Company). The outstanding commitments on the Blocks in the first year of the
exploration period ending May 2011 is US$0.5 million (net to the Company), and in the second to fourth year
between May 2012 and May 2014, a total of US$3.75 million (net to the Company).
Prior to the expiry of the petroleum exploration license, and assuming that the Company has met its
obligations, the joint venture will notify the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia if it
intends to commit to the first renewal exploration period. If the joint venture does not elect to renew, the
Blocks will expire with no further commitments. If the joint venture elects to renew and the Ministry of
Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia grants the renewal, then the commitments for the first renewal
exploration period will take effect. The commitment for 2813A, 2814B and 2914A for the first renewal
period is the drilling of one exploration well between May 2014 and May 2016, at a minimum total cost of
US$22.5 million net.
Fiscal Terms of Licenses
Assuming there is a commercial discovery, each of the Company’s exploration licenses are subject to a 35%
federal tax and quarterly 5% royalty on the market value of the petroleum produced. In addition, the
exploration licenses may be subject to an after-profits tax (“APT”). The Company’s highest APT on the three
exploration licenses is 8%, being on the recently acquired blocks 2813A, 2814B, and 2914A. The APT at
petroleum exploration license 2713 and petroleum exploration license 2815 is zero percent.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Award of Blocks 2813A, 2814B and 2914A
On May 17, 2010, the Company was awarded a 40% working interest in a petroleum exploration license for
the offshore Namibian Blocks 2813A, 2814B and 2914A by the Ministry of Mines and Energy of the
Republic of Namibia. HRT has a 40% working interest and operates the blocks, and Acarus has a 20%
carried interest to be reimbursed by way of a percentage of the carried group’s net cash flow in the event of a
commercial discovery. The three blocks link to Universal’s 90%-owned 2713A and 2713B blocks to the
north, and 90% owned 2815, 2816 and 2915 to the east.
Appointment of Independent Directors
On May 25, 2010, the Company appointed Mr. Michael Black and Mr. Keith Turnbull as independent
members of the board of directors.
Independent Resource Estimate
On June 25, 2010, the Company filed a report dated June 15, 2010, in which the Company announced
prospective resource estimates for the Company’s 90% owned 2713A exploration licence, representing
approximately 16% of Universal’s net land position in offshore Namibia, Africa. The prospective resource
estimates were provided by DeGolyer and MacNaughton (“D&M”), a third party independent engineering
firm, in a report titled “Report as of April 1, 2010 on the Prospective Resources attributable to Certain
Prospects and Leads with interests owned by Universal Power Corp. in License Block 2713-A Namibia NI13
51-101” (the “2713A Evaluation”) and can be found on SEDAR. The 2713A Evaluation reported an unrisked
mean oil-equivalent prospective resource at Block 2713A of 2.39 billion Boe (converting gas to oil at 6:1) and
a risked mean prospective resource of 567 million Boe. There is no certainty that any portion of the resources
will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any
portion of resources. Please see the table below for a summary of the 2713A Evaluation.
The following tables summarize the risked and unrisked prospective resources of the 2713A exploration
licence, of which the Company owns a 90% interest. The numbers in the following tables are provided on a
gross basis.

(2) Recovery efficiency is applied to prospective resources in this table.
Estimates of prospective resources should be regarded only as estimates that may change as additional
information becomes available. Not only are such prospective resources estimates based on that information
which is currently available, but such estimates are also subject to the uncertainties inherent in the application
of judgmental factors in interpreting such information. Prospective resource quantities estimates should not be
confused with those quantities that are associated with contingent resources or reserves due to the additional
risks involved. The quantities that might actually be recovered should they be discovered and developed may
differ significantly from the estimates presented in the 2713A Evaluation.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Offered Shares under this short form prospectus are
estimated to be $18,502,350 after deducting the Underwriters’ fee of $1,200,150 and the estimated expenses
of the Offering of $300,000. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the net proceeds of the
Offering, after deducting the Underwriters’ fee of $1,380,172.50 and expenses of the Offering of $300,000,
are estimated to be approximately $21,322,702.50.
The net proceeds of the Offering will be primarily used by the Company to fund the balance of the work
commitments in Blocks 2713A, 2713B, 2815, 2816, 2915, 2813A, 2814B and 2914A as outlined below.
Unallocated proceeds will be added to the working capital of the Company.
Activity Total
Seismic Acquisition and Processing $17,502,350
Geological Investigations $1,000,000
Total: $18,502,350
The Company plans to spend $16.25 million over the next year and the remaining $2.3 million during the
summer and fall of 2011.
The Company anticipates spending $16.25 million on Block commitments for seismic acquisition and
processing. Approximately 500 square kilometres of 3D seismic will be acquired in Block 2713A, for a total
of approximately $7.5 million, starting in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, approximately 550 square
kilometres of 3D seismic will be acquired in Block 2815, over the most promising acreage in the Block, for a
total of $8.25 million. The Company also plans to fulfil its first year commitments in Blocks 2813A, 2814B
and 2914A in accordance with the petroleum agreement in these Blocks, for a total of $0.5 million. Universal
expects to convert the 2D seismic commitments to 3D equivalent at a 10 to 1 ratio, in accordance with
industry standards.
In addition, during the summer and fall of 2011 the Company will purchase trade seismic and perform
geological investigations totalling approximately $2.3 million. These expenditures are not part of the
Company’s exploration commitments but are required to understand the geological framework of the blocks.
17
The use of the net proceeds of the Offering by the Company is consistent with Universal’s business strategy
and commitments on the existing exploration licences in Namibia. While Universal believes that it has the
skills and resources necessary to accomplish its stated business objectives, participation in the exploration for
and development of oil and natural gas has a number of inherent risks. See “Risk Factors” in this short form
prospectus and the AIF, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Although the Company intends to expend the net proceeds from the Offering as described above, the actual
allocation of net proceeds may vary from that set out above, depending on future operations of the Company’s
properties or unforeseen events, but in any event, will be used by the Company in furtherance of its business.
DETAILS OF THE OFFERING
The Offering consists of 11,430,000 Offered Shares at a price of $1.75 per Offered Share for aggregate gross
proceeds of $20,002,500. The Company has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option,
exercisable in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time within 30 days after the
Closing, enabling them to purchase up to an additional 1,714,500 Option Shares at a price of $1.75 per Option
Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $23,002,875.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Under an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated June 18, 2010, among the
Company and the Underwriters, the Company has agreed to issue and sell and the Underwriters have
severally, and not jointly, agreed to purchase on July 8, 2010, or such other date as may be agreed by the
Company and the Underwriters (subject to the termination rights described below), the Offered Shares at a
price of $1.75 per Common Share, payable in cash to the Company against delivery, subject to compliance
with all necessary legal requirements and terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.
The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several and not joint, and may be
terminated at their discretion on the basis of their assessment of the state of the financial markets and may
also be terminated upon the occurrence of certain stated events. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to
take up and pay for all Offered Shares if any are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. If one or more
of the Underwriters fails to purchase its allotment of the Offered Shares that it has agreed to purchase, the
remaining Underwriters are obligated to purchase the Offered Shares not purchased by the Underwriter or
Underwriters which fail to purchase unless the percentage of the total number of Offered Shares which one or
more of the Underwriters fail to purchase exceeds 5.26% of the total number of Offered Shares being offered,
in which case the remaining Underwriters may, but are not obligated to, purchase such Offered Shares. The
Underwriting Agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Underwriters and their affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents against certain liabilities and expenses.
The Underwriting Agreement provides that, the Company will pay the Underwriters a fee of $0.105 per
Offered Share for an aggregate fee payable by the Company of $1,200,150, in consideration for services of
the Underwriters in connection with the Offering. The terms of the Offering, including the Offering Price,
were determined by negotiation between the Company and Cormark on its own behalf and on behalf of the
other Underwriters.
The Company has granted to the Underwriters the Over-Allotment Option, exercisable in whole or in part in
the sole discretion of the Underwriters at any time within 30 days after the Closing, enabling them to purchase
up to an additional 1,714,500 Option Shares at a price of $1.75 per Common Share. In respect of the Over-
Allotment Option, the Company will pay to the Underwriters a fee equal to 6% of the proceeds realized on the
exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or $0.105 per Common Share. If the Over-Allotment Option is
exercised in full, the total Offering, the Underwriters’ fee and the net proceeds to the Company (before
18
deducting expenses of the Offering) will be approximately $23,002,875, $1,380,172.50 and $21,622,702.50,
respectively. This short form prospectus qualifies the distribution of the Offered Shares (including Option
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) and a purchaser who acquires Common Shares
forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position acquires those Common Shares under this short
form prospectus regardless of whether the over-allocation position is filled through exercise of the Over-
Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.
It is expected that closing of the Offering will occur on or about July 8, 2010, or such other date as the
Company and the Underwriters may agree but in any event, not later than July 31, 2010.
Pursuant to applicable securities legislation, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution
under this short from prospectus, bid for or purchase Common Shares. The foregoing restriction is subject to
exceptions provided the bid or purchase is not engaged in for the purpose of creating actual or apparent
trading in, or raising the price of, the Common Shares. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted
under the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces administered by the Investment
Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada relating to market stabilization and passive market-making
activities and a bid or purchase made for and on behalf of a customer where the order was not solicited during
the period of distribution. In connection with this Offering, and subject to the foregoing, the Underwriters
may effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels above
those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.
The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After a reasonable effort
has been made to sell all of the Offered Shares at the price specified, the Underwriters may subsequently
reduce the selling prices to investors from time to time in order to sell any of the Offered Shares remaining
unsold. In the event the Offering Price is reduced, the compensation received by the Underwriters will be
decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by the purchasers for the Offered Shares is less than the
gross proceeds paid by the Underwriters to the Company for the Offered Shares. Any such reduction will not
affect the proceeds received by the Company or the fees payable by the Company to the Underwriters in
connection with the Offering.
The Company has agreed that, from the date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending on the date that is 90
days following the closing date of the Offering, that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, or announce the
offering of, or make or announce any agreement to issue, sell, or exchange Common Shares or securities
convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers
any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Shares, without the prior written consent of
Cormark (on behalf of the Underwriters), not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may, without such consent: (i) grant options to directors, officers, consultants or
employees of the Company pursuant to the Company’s shareholder approved stock option plan and Common
Shares issued upon their exercise; (ii) issue the Offered Shares including any Option Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Over-Allotment Option; and (iii) issue Common Shares on exercise of outstanding warrants,

The Offered Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933,

applicable state securities laws. Except as permitted in the Underwriting Agreement and as expressly
permitted by applicable laws of the United States, the Underwriters will not offer or sell the Offered Shares

the United States.
In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of this Offering, an offer or sale of the Offered Shares
within the United Sates by any dealer (whether or not participating in the Offering) may violate the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an
exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act.
ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT
In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, counsel to the Company, and Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP,
counsel to the Underwriters, based on the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations
thereunder in force as of the date hereof (the “Tax Act”), and the proposed amendments to the Tax Act
publicly announced by or on behalf of, the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, the Offered
Shares if issued on the date hereof, would be “qualified investments” under the Tax Act for trusts governed by
registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered disability savings plans,
deferred profit sharing plans, registered education savings plans and tax-free savings accounts (“TFSA”)
20
(collectively “Plans”), provided that the Common Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which
currently includes the TSXV) at the time of issuance.
Notwithstanding that the Offered Shares may be qualified investment for a trust governed by a TFSA, the
holder of a TFSA will be subject to a penalty tax on the Offered Shares held in the TFSA if such Offered
Shares are a “prohibited investment” for the purposes of section 207.01 of the Tax Act. The Offered Shares
will generally be a “prohibited investment” if the holder of the TFSA does not deal at arm’s length with the
Company for the purposes of the Tax Act or the holder of the TFSA has a “significant interest” (as defined in
the Tax Act) in the Company or a person or partnership with which the Company does not deal at arm’s
length for the purposes of the Tax Act.
Effective for transactions after October 16, 2009, newly proposed amendments to the Tax Act (the “Proposed
TFSA Amendments”) would subject any transfer of property (other than a contribution) by a holder or by a
person who does not deal at arm’s length with a holder (such as other exempt plans of the holder) to the
holder’s TFSA to a tax equal to 100% of the increase in the total fair market value of the property held in
connection with the holder's TFSA that is attributable to the transfer and would also subject any income or
capital gain earned after October 16, 2009 that is reasonably attributed to a "prohibited investment" or a
"deliberate over-contribution" to tax equal to 100% of the income or capital gain. No assurance can be given
that the Proposed TFSA Amendments will be enacted in their current form or at all.
Prospective investors who intend to hold Offered Shares in their TFSAs should consult their own tax
advisors regarding their particular circumstances.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Common Shares involves a number of risks. Before investing, prospective purchasers
of Common Shares should carefully consider, in light of their own financial circumstances, the factors set out
below, as well as other information and risk factors contained in or incorporated by reference in this short
form prospectus, including those risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” of the AIF, and those
risk factors set forth under the heading “Forward Looking Information” of the MD&A, which are
incorporated by reference herein.
Risks Related to the Offering
The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile.
The trading price of securities of junior and intermediate oil and natural gas companies is subject to
substantial volatility, and such trading prices have been particularly volatile in recent months. This volatility
is often based on factors both related and unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies
involved. The market price of the Common Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to
variations in the Company’s operating results, financial condition, liquidity and other internal factors. Factors
that could affect the market price of the Common Shares that are unrelated to performance include domestic
and global commodity prices and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price
at which the Common Shares will trade cannot be accurately predicted.
The net proceeds of the Offering may not be used in the manner described in this short form prospectus.
As set out under “Use of Proceeds” in this short form prospectus, the Company intends to use a portion of the
net proceeds of the Offering to fund capital expenditure programs. The remainder will be used to fund
working capital requirements, however there are no definite plans for the use of these additional funds as of
the date hereof. Accordingly, although these allocations are based on the current expectation of management
of the Company, there may be circumstances where, for business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be
21
necessary as may be determined at the discretion of management of the Company, and there can be no
assurance as of the date of this short form prospectus as to how those funds may be reallocated.
The Offering may result in dilution of cash flow and/or net income on a per Common Share basis.
Although the Company expects that the net proceeds of the Offering will enhance the Company’s liquidity, to
the extent that a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering remains as cash, the Offering may result in
dilution to the Company’s cash flow and/or net income on a per Common Share basis.
Forward-Looking Information May Prove Inaccurate
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. By its nature,
forward-looking information involves numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of
both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by
the forward-looking information or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will
prove to be materially inaccurate.
Additional information on the risks, assumptions and uncertainties are found in this short form prospectus
under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”.
Reliance on Industry Partners
The Company relies on industry partners with respect to the evaluation, acquisition and development of, and
future production from, its properties and a failure or inability to perform by such partners could materially
affect the prospects of the Company and its ability to implement its business strategy and operations.
Crime and governmental or business corruption could significantly disrupt the Company’s ability to
conduct its business, impair title to its properties and could materially adversely affect its financial
condition and results of operations.
The Namibian government is reported to be conducting corruption and other investigations into the mining
and energy industries in Namibia. Persons operating and conducting business in Namibia, including the
Company and its officers, directors and employees may be the subject of press speculation, government
investigations and other accusations of corrupt practices or illegal activities. The Company is not aware of
any current investigations specific only to the Company or any adverse findings against it, its directors,
officers or employees and no allegations of corruption have been made and no charges have brought against
the Company. Furthermore, the Company conducts its business in accordance with good oil and gas industry
practice in the oil and gas industry and in material compliance with all applicable laws.
Findings against the Company, its directors, officers or employees, or their involvement in corruption or other
illegal activity could result in criminal or civil penalties, including substantial monetary fines, against the
Company, its directors, officers or employees. Findings against the Company, its directors, officers or
employees, or their involvement in corruption or other illegal activity could result in legal challenges to the
title to assets currently owned by the Company. In addition, findings of corrupt practices or other illegal
activities by any joint venture partner or license holder in connection with any petroleum exploration licenses
in which the Company has an interest may result in the loss or forfeiture of certain or all rights of the
Company under such petroleum exploration licenses. Any government investigations or other allegations
against the Company, its directors, officers or employees, or finding of involvement in corruption or other
illegal activity by such persons or the joint venture partners of the Company or others with whom the
Company conducts business, could significantly damage the Company’s reputation and its ability to do
business and could materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS
Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw
from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt
or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation
further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or
damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the
purchaser, provided that such remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the
purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The
purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for
the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Info`s von stockhouse vom User "Wallywill" zur gestrigen Hauptversammlung:
__________
Hello all
Here are some details of the meeting that was held today:
About 30-40 people in attendence
All board members were present and Byron was also in the audience. Did not see Mello
All motions were passed including the name change to UNX energy corp.
Mr Ollivier presented:
Offshore Namibia has same source rocks as offshore Brazil but no sub salt. Has thick layers of shale to trap and seal reserviors. Only 1 well drillled in Kudu was deep enough to penatrate the shale but was drilled on the shelf where there is no trap hence the need to drill deeper.
Hope to receive IPEX analysis by end of year and identify 3D location for 2713A by 4th quarter this year/1st quarter next year. expect even higher numbers with the added detail of 3D
Continuation of data room and outsource of JV. ......The impression I got is that they have been approached by interested parties and will seek a better deal than what Chariot aquired with Petrobas. We may see something come together in regards to JV by end of this year.
Other:
Purchase 2D data for 2815
Finalize work program with HRT on JV blocks.
No details on HRT IPO
Nothing received on 1711 other than what has been made public.
Hope this helps.

UNX Energy Announces Third Quarter 2010 Operational and Financial ResultsUNX Energy Corp UNX 11/29/2010 4:34:29 PMCALGARY, ALBERTA, Nov 29, 2010 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE U.S.
UNX Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UNX) ("UNX" or the "Company") today announced third quarter operational and financial results for the period ending September 30, 2010. During the quarter, the Company advanced its geological and geophysical work, raised funds to fulfill its commitments and hired additional technical staff. An equity financing in November has enabled the Company to move forward on a large 3D seismic acquisition during the first half of 2011. The Company also restated and refiled its consolidated financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis for fiscal 2009, as well as the interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 respectively. Management believes the changes in the restated and refiled financial statements are not material. Further detail on the restatement is provided below.
2010 Q3 Financial and Operational Results
"The third quarter saw continued steady progress on our work towards the discovery of oil and gas resources in offshore Namibia," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, President and CEO of UNX Energy. "Our efforts during the quarter were focused on the continued delineation of the resources through both in-house interpretation and analysis, and the various studies conducted and delivered to us by Brazilian-based IPEX (Integrated Petroleum Expertise Co.), whom we commissioned to provide in-depth analysis of the Orange Basin. The final and complete suite of studies from IPEX is targeted for delivery either later this year or in early 2011 and will include oil slick satellite surveys, seismic reprocessing and interpretation and a 3D compositional petroleum system model of the Orange Basin. These studies will be an important addition to the science we have assembled to-date on the Orange Basin and will contribute towards meaningful consultations with interested farm-in partners.
"Looking ahead, sizeable 3D seismic survey acquisitions are planned for the first half of 2011, which have been made possible by our most recent equity offerings. Once interpreted and analyzed, the new seismic data will give us a clearer picture of the resources, allowing us to identify and rank numerous possible drilling locations. UNX is well-positioned to continue the advancement of our corporate goals which will hopefully lead to the discovery of oil and gas in Namibia's offshore region."
Highlights from the third quarter include:
-- Completed an equity offering for the distribution of 11,430,000 Common Shares at a price of $1.75 per Common share, for gross proceeds of approximately $20 million;-- Received an extension from Namibia's Ministry of Mines and Energy for the first phase of the Company's work program on Exploration License 0022 (Blocks 2815, 2816 and 2915), for a one-year period expiring on September 22, 2011;-- Completed strategic additions to staff, including the appointment of Mr. Brad Holub as Chief Operating Officer;-- Changed name and corporate identity to UNX Energy Corp., which represents a more accurate reflection of the Company's strategic focus; and-- Experienced a third quarter net loss of $2,982,008 with a loss per share of $0.03These highlights along with other operational and financial details are discussed further in the Company's third quarter 2010 financial statements and management discussion and analysis which can be accessed at www.sedar.com, or alternatively on the Company's updated website, located at www.unxenergy.com.
Restatement and Refiling of Financial Statements
During the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2010, the Company re-evaluated the acquisitions of NIDG and Kunene and determined that these acquisitions should be treated as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations. As a result, the Company reversed a $1.6 million gain, net of acquisition expenditures, on revaluation of the original investment in NIDG in the June 30, 2010 interim consolidated financial statements, and the $1.2 million loss, net of acquisition expenditures, on the revaluation of the investment in Kunene in the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements. The Company also amended the future income tax liability for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2008 to reflect the appropriate liability associated with the NIDG and Kunene oil and gas properties and adjusted the associated non-controlling interests. In addition, the Company adjusted its stock-based compensation expected life estimates for the period ending June 30, 2010, increasing the expense by $0.3 million.
These restatements will have no impact on the Company's cash flow or its ability to fulfill its commitments and move forward with its strategy in Namibia.
The restated and refiled interim and annual consolidated financial statements have been amended as follows:

UNX ENERGY SIGNS 3D SEISMIC CONTRACT WITH PETROLEUM GEO-SERVICES 01/14/2011
Download this Press Release
CALGARY, Jan. 14 /CNW/ - UNX Energy Corp. (TSX-V: UNX) ("UNX"), an emerging oil and gas company with offshore interests in the Republic of Namibia, has signed a 3D seismic contract with Petroleum Geo-Services (OAX: PGS). UNX plans to acquire approximately 1,125 km2 of 3D seismic on the 90%-owned Exploration Licence 2815, consisting of Blocks 2815, 2816 and 2916, offshore Namibia. The program will target various features on the blocks, and is expected to commence in mid-February, 2011. The seismic program will be funded from proceeds raised in July and November of 2010.
"The addition of this high-quality 3D seismic data to our existing scientific information will provide further clarity on the size and extent of the resources on our licences in offshore Namibia," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, President and CEO of UNX Energy. "The 3D seismic data will enhance scientific detail and add to our growing inventory of drilling prospects. As part of our 2011 work program, the various seismic surveys that will be conducted on our blocks will focus on select areas of our acreage, updating existing resource estimates and providing additional independent resource estimates on the blocks. The seismic will also contribute to a data room and inventory of drill-ready locations for companies interested in farm-in opportunities. At approximately two times the minimum required work commitment of 550 km2, this 3D seismic program exceeds UNX's required work commitments for the Exploration Licence."

UNX ENERGY SIGNS 3D SEISMIC CONTRACT WITH POLARCUS 01/25/2011
Download this Press Release
CALGARY, Jan. 25 /CNW/ - UNX Energy Corp. (TSX-V: UNX) ("UNX" or "the Company"), an emerging oil and gas company with interests offshore Namibia, has signed a 3D seismic contract with Polarcus Limited (OAX: PLCS). UNX plans to acquire 1,460 km2 of 3D seismic in the 90%-owned 2713 blocks in offshore Namibia.
The 3D seismic program is targeted over a very large feature with multiple identified zones including a sub-shale feature that the Company feels is similar to the Brazilian sub-salt discoveries in the Santos and Campos basins. The program is primarily located in the southern portion of Block 2713A, adjacent to the 2813 contract area in which UNX also holds a 40% interest. The program is expected to commence shooting in March 2011. The seismic program will be funded from monies raised in July and November of 2010.
"We are very pleased to be acquiring 3D seismic data for Block 2713A as it will give us full coverage over a structure that appears to be much larger than first mapped due to our re-processing and conversion from time to depth of the existing 2D seismic data," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, President and CEO of UNX Energy. "The new 3D seismic data will enhance the details of the structure and the prospective zones identified, allowing us to further refine ideal drilling locations. We are currently working towards updating existing resource estimates and providing additional independent resource estimates on all of our Namibian blocks. The key focus of our 2011 work program is finalizing drill-ready locations for major oil companies that are interested in farming-in on UNX acreage. This seismic program greatly exceeds UNX's required work commitments for the 2713 Petroleum Licence at approximately three times the minimum required work commitment of 500 km2."

"The extension of the 3D seismic program into Block 2813A will provide further detail on the size and extent of the large structural feature we have identified on Block 2713A," said Mr. Gabriel Ollivier, President and CEO of UNX Energy. "The seismic will supplement our already robust data set and add to the compelling argument of the Orange Basin's "Big Oil" prospectivity. This program greatly exceeds all of the joint venture's required work commitments for Petroleum Licence 2813, at approximately twice the minimum required work commitment for the contract area."
