Quarterly Activities Report - March 2008

PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES

Janovice Gas Field (60% interest)

The well was produced throughout the period at an average of 20,000 cubic metres
per day (0.7 million cubic feet). At this rate the volume of produced water was
low and stable. Production for the period was nearly 1.9 million cubic metres
(6.4 million cubic ft).

The Directors believe that the economics of the field remain strong. The gas
price is at a long term high and the Czech Koruna has continued to strengthen
against the Australian dollar.

Krasna Oil Field (75% interest reducing to 50% after payout)

As reported at the end of the last quarter, Carpathian withdrew from the project
on 31 December 2007. The withdrawal triggered a payment to the operator, Unigeo,
of AUD$466,000 to relieve Carpathian of its share of future abandonment
liabilities.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Janovice, Skalice & Raskovice - Moravka (60%)

In the light of corporate and other matters an exploration strategy has not yet
been determined for this field. Seismic and other, cheaper and less definitive
survey methods are being considered.

Mo*nov, 90% interest (contributing 100%)

The Mo-1 Skotnice well was spudded in late 2006 close to two depleted gas fields
and reached a final total depth of 430m. Only minor shows of gas were recorded
whilst drilling the target horizon yet analysis of the wireline logs indicated
the presence of a 3.2m gas column in a good quality Miocene sandstone reservoir
with up to 17% porosity. Core analysis confirmed the quality of the reservoir
yet no flow was recorded when the section was tested. It is not clear why such a
good reservoir rock failed to produce a flow. Damage to the formation while
drilling or whilst cementing the production string is suspected, as is
inadequate perforating of the production string.

Contractual matters that delayed work were finally resolved in December 2007 and
a simple program was carried out in early February 2008 to try a stimulate flow
from the Miocene sand. A small amount of completion fluid was successfully
pumped through the perforations establishing communication into the well bore.
However, when the pressure released, no fluid flowed back even when the fluid
column had been unloaded and the well was again at atmospheric pressure.

Since the remedial work test failed to produce a definitive answer the operator
is discussing future operations with the contractor that drilled the well. These
may include Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation (fraccing), an operation designed to
stimulate flow by creating and holding open fractures in the formation.

Morava, 90% interest (contributing 100%)

The Morava project is located near Hodonin a regional centre for oil and gas
production in the northern part of the Vienna Basin, a prolific oil and gas
producer. A possible target (Vazany) that could contain a significant quantity
of gas has been identified in the flysch sequence of the Magura Nappe but until
the project is included in the local land-use plan no further progress can be
made. Unigeo, the operator, is working to achieve this.

Ro*nov, 90% interest (contributing 100%)

The permits cover an area of prospective sediments in a variety of potential
traps on a faulted margin. The most exciting are a series of features on the
basin slope. Differences between local and regional planning requirements are
not yet resolved and have delayed progress. A drilling location to test the Zar
feature is under investigation as amongst other things a major power line will
have to be moved before a well can be drilled. Further progress cannot be made
until the project is included in the local land use plan.

Notes

1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the
entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on
its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is
encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.

2 The "Nature of interest" (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of
interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting
period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are
conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining
tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions
precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

3 Issued and quoted securities: The issue price and amount paid up is not
required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.

4 The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive
Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

5 Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International
Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address
a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.
