Terra has good results in metals, gems and others but these success rates should be discounted because there is not yet a statistically credible sample-set of projects. 3. There are enough projects done in oil and gas to provide meaningful representation of Terra's Capabilities. 1. Historically, not for lack of potential efficacy, more work has been done in the oil and gas sector than in minerals and gems. Notes: 2. Success rates in last the two columns are based on projects which have been drilled or excavated (1st two columns); while Terra's technologies were a part of the overall work program for these projects, and commercial success owes to many factors, inputs and exploration team members, Terra's early stage predictions were confirmed by drilling or excavation. In far right column, statistics assume all pending projects will be failures, a conservative though unlikely assumption with these results being unknown presently.

Geodynamic Analysis
Earth’s Mineragenic Systems are Confined to Specific, Calculable Zones

Is a geotectonic / mathematical model verified through decades of field testing and application.

Based on regularities in the divisibility of the Earth’s lithosphere from which a geometrical framework can be constructed of the subsurface.

Stems from Mantle Plume Theory, and is based on the priority ranking of “geodynamic systems” formed as a result of concentric discharge of deep energy and fluid fluxes coming from the Earth’s crust to the upper horizons.

Surface structures (circular, polyhedral, other) are identified from satellite images and model is “fit onto” area aligning with such features & known deposits

Applicable anywhere in the world as “overlay” aligned to surface features.

Most of the known mineral deposits of deep genesis are confined to nodes of intersections of concentric fluid-supply zones with radii, characterized by a universal discreetness ranging from just a few kms to thousands.

Surface features (large zooming to small) lead to area’s “mineral kitchen”.

Morphometric Analysis
Terra’s Morphometric Method Connects Relief-Forming Processes with Tectonics – a Virtual Paleo Geography that IDs anticlines

Known “old-school” tool not used widely today and often overlooked with its value underestimated for resource exploration.

Terra has developed Morphometry to be relevant in the modern era using high-powered, computerized inputs and outputs.

It translates all surface relief into ranked systems which have a relational connection to tectonic events and subsurface structure

Uses Digital Elevation data to derive paleo features

Builds erosion-based, summit and catchment basin maps

Enables the chronological stacking of paleo horizons and tracks tectonic movements (know if the target horizon is with HC window) Provides quick, cost-effective and reliable model of subsurface January 14 © Terra Energy & Resource Technologies, Inc 11

Paleo-reconstruction Analysis
Understanding Subsurface Via Geomedium Movement Analysis

Earth’s geomedium is subject to tectonic & exogenous (paleo erosion /denudation) events resulting in what we call relief plasticity.

2nd-Derivative-based model connects the zero-curvature points (intersection of topo convex & concave) of a topo / paleo geographic map via an algorithm to create a 2D map of geomedium flows

Paleo flow maps help distinguish hidden paleo geological features of different geological periods / depths

Amoeba-like patterns show the nature of movements and help see important features (deltas / depressions / faults) in movement Informs on deposition areas prospective for mineral accumulation
