These statements represent the expectations or beliefs of management of Raging River concerning, among other things, future capital expenditures and future operating results and various components thereof or the economic performance of Raging River. The projections, estimates and beliefs contained in such forward-looking statements are based on management's assumptions relating to the production performance of Raging River's oil and gas assets, including the assets to be acquired through Raging River, the cost and competition for services throughout the oil and gas industry in 2012, the results of exploration and development activities during 2012, the market price for oil and gas, expectations regarding the availability of capital, estimates as to the size of reserves and resources, and the continuation of the current regulatory and tax regime in Canada, and necessarily involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties inherent in exploration and development activities, geological, technical, drilling and processing problems and other risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual performance and financial results in future periods to differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Raging River does not undertake to update any forward looking information in this document whether as to new information, future events or otherwise except as required by securities rules and regulations.
Note: Barrels of oil equivalent (BOEs) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. In accordance with NI
51-101, a BOE conversion ratio for natural gas of 6 Mcf:1bbl has been used, which is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.
