INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE SENT TO SHAREHOLDERS
Amendment No. 1 dated November 5, 2014 to the Short Form Prospectus dated October 6, 2014.
This amendment, together with the short form prospectus dated October 6, 2014, constitutes a public offering of the securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and therein only by persons permitted to sell such securities. No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about these securities and it is an offence to claim otherwise.

AMENDMENTS
The short form prospectus of the Company dated October 6, 2014 (the “Prospectus”) is hereby amended by adding the following:
| 1. | Under “Definitions” on page 12: |
““November Material Change Report” means the material change report of the Company dated and filed on November 5, 2014 in connection with an operational update in respect of the Kurdamir Block;
“November Presentation” means the presentation of the Company entitled “Fueling our Futures” and dated November 5, 2014;”
| 2. | As the last two bullet points under “Documents Incorporated by Reference” on page 18: |
“ • the November Material Change Report; and
• the November Presentation.”
| 3. | As the third paragraph under “Marketing Materials” on page 18: |
“On November 4, 2014, the Company announced that operations on the Kurdamir Block and the drilling of the Kurdamir-4 well will be deferred while additional consultation takes place with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the KRG to refine the development plan for the Kurdamir Block. The November Presentation has been updated to reflect this deferral. For further details, see the November Material Change Report and “Recent Developments – Development Plans – Kurdamir Development” below.”
| 4. | As the fifth paragraph under “WesternZagros Resources Ltd. – Recent Developments – Development Plans – Kurdamir Development” on page 33: |
“On November 4, 2014, the Company announced that the KRG has requested changes to the development plan that was submitted on August 31, 2014. WesternZagros and Talisman plan additional consultation with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the KRG to refine the development plan. During this review period, operations on the Kurdamir Block and the drilling of the Kurdamir-4 well will be deferred. As a result of this deferral,
it is no longer expected that the Kurdamir-4 well will be spud in the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, the redefined development plan for the Kurdamir Block that is ultimately approved could result in material changes to the currently expected schedule outlined herein for development drilling and facility development for oil and gas processing for the Kurdamir Block, as well as the timing and quantum of capital costs associated therewith. Other than the deferral of the drilling of the Kurdamir-4 well, such changes to the expected development operations on the Kurdamir Block are not known to the Company at this time.”
The Prospectus is amended to the extent amended and supplemented by this amendment to the Prospectus (the “Amendment”) and, accordingly, the Prospectus and this Amendment should be read together as one document. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Prospectus.
None of the September Presentation, the October Presentation or the November Presentation are part of the Prospectus, as amended, to the extent that their contents have been modified or superseded by a statement contained in this Amendment. Pursuant to subsection 13.8(7) of NI 41-101 the Company has prepared a revised template version of the October Presentation (the November Presentation) which has been blacklined to show the modified statements. The November Presentation can be viewed under the Company’s profile on www.sedar.com.
PURCHASERS’ STATUTORY RIGHTS
Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
In an offering of rights, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial securities legislation, to the price at which the right is offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon exercise of the security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal adviser.
