Re: | Report on Resource Estimates by Independent Qualified Resources Evaluator of Oilsands Quest Inc. (the “Company”) |
To the Board of Directors of Oilsands Quest Inc. (the “Company”):
1. | We have prepared resource estimates of discovered and undiscovered initially-in-place bitumen resources on portions of the Company’s Axe Lake Discovery and Raven Ridge Discovery as at April 30, 2008. |
2. | The preparation and disclosure of the resource estimates are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the resource estimates based on our evaluation. |
We carried out our evaluation in accordance with standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the “COGE Handbook”) prepared jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy & Petroleum (Petroleum Society). |
3. | Those standards require that we plan and perform an evaluation to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the resource estimates are free of material misstatement. An evaluation also includes assessing whether the resource estimates are in accordance with principles and definitions presented in the COGE Handbook. |
