Company Statement:
Dominion's strategy is to become the leading independent upstream exploration company in this region. Dominion intend to achieve this objective by using their experienced management team, firm contacts and partners in East and Central Africa and the company's excellent understanding of the geology of the region. The company has built on its dominant position in Tanzania, expanding into the Albertine Rift Basin in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and will continue to expand and develop its interests in its core area.

Overview: Dominion in East Africa
Dominion's early entry and its strong local partners have enabled the company to gain a significant acreage holding in East and Central Africa. The company has 48,230 square kilometres (11.91 milllion acres) under four Production Sharing Agreements ('PSA's') in Tanzania. These include four licences onshore - Mandawa, Kisangire and Lukuliro (both under the Kisangire PSA) and Selous - and one licence offshore - Block 7. Dominion also has a licence for 2,021 square kilometres (0.50 million acres) in Uganda (Block 4B), in the Albertine Rift Basin, the site of several oil discoveries in 2006 and 2007. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominion Petroleum will operate the exploration activity of Block 5, which incorporates 7,346 square kilometres (1.82 million acres) of land and lake areas.
Onshore Tanzania
Dominion’s wholly-owned subsidiary Dominion Oil and Gas Limited owns production sharing rights over three contract areas onshore in Tanzania with a combined area of 39,738 square kilometres (9.82 million acres). The Mandawa and Kisangire PSAs were signed on 20th May 2005; the Selous PSA on 27th April 2006. Mandawa (50% working interest, Maurel & Prom 50%) and Selous (100% working interest) PSA’s are operated by Dominion; Kisangire is operated by Heritage Oil and Gas through its subsidiary, Heritage Tanzania Kisangire Limited (Dominion 45% working interest).
