THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

During the three months ended February 28, 2010, the principal activities of the Corporation were:

The Corporation became a reporting issuer in Canada in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario and its common shares began trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") on December 11, 2009 under the symbol "PKP".

PetroKamchatka completed drilling of its first exploration well, Oyarskaya 1P on the Tigil Block in Kamchatka, Russia, to a total depth of 3,236 meters in January 2010. The initial evaluation indicates that the well did not reach the target tertiary reservoir sandstones as the overlying formations appear much thicker than predicted. The Oyarskaya 1P well has been suspended pending further evaluation. Well logging was completed. No drill-stem or production tests were conducted at this time. The first Tigil well was drilled using the joint venture-owned mobile drilling rig. The well was drilled on schedule and with no major operational problems. Post well analysis of geologic data should enhance future drilling performance.

PetroKamchatka is continuing to evaluate the technical information obtained at the Oyarskaya 1P well, which was suspended in January 2010. Preliminary biostratigraphic studies indicate that the primary target sands were not reached in the original wellbore. The preliminary interpretation of the vertical seismic profile indicates a possible deeper basement reflector at a depth within the drilling capacity of the Corporation's rig. Additional geological formation evaluation studies are underway and these studies, plus the results of the Chernorechenskaya well, will provide key input to any future decision to potentially re-enter the well and drill to the deep target at Oyarskaya.

The Corporation moved the mobile drilling rig and related equipment and camps over approximately twenty kilometers of winter roads to the next exploration prospect, the Chernorenchenskaya location, also on the Tigil block. The Chernorenchenskaya well spudded on April 15, 2010. The well is expected to be drilled to a total depth of approximately 3,300 meters. Drilling the second well is expected to satisfy the Corporation's drilling commitment on the Tigil license.

On March 15, 2010, PetroKamchatka received support from more than 75% investor warrant holders, whereby the existing term of 13,350,808 warrants was amended. The warrants will now expire on December 10, 2011, two years after the Corporation's listing on the TSXV. This makes the term of these legacy warrants, issued between August 2005 and February 2006, compliant with the rules of the TSX-V. All other terms and conditions of these warrants remain unchanged, including exercise prices of (pnds stlg)0.525 for 5,760,809 warrants and C$1.25 for 7,589,999 warrants.

On April 20, 2010, the Corporation issued 565,469 common shares at CAD $0.115 per share to directors for services provided from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 which represents one-half of the remuneration owed to these individuals for this period.
