President's Report - December 2007

 THIS IS NOT A NEWS RELEASE - FOR THE INFORMATION OF SHAREHOLDERS ONLY

SEASONS GREETINGS AND BEST WISHES FOR 2008

Dear Supporters, Shareholders & Potential Investors:


The Company is pleased to report continued progress on its LAK Ranch heavy oil project. During the last half of 2007, Derek was successful in hiring a "steam flood/steam drive" expert to help with the ongoing development at LAK Ranch. Mr. Robert Hurkmans joins Derek as its Chief Operating Officer after spending the past six years with Occidental Petroleum Corporation as a Production and Drilling Engineer with their large Elk Hills light oil and Mukhaizna heavy oil projects. Mr. Hurkmans has over 37 years experience in the oil industry and specializes in improving the economics of secondary recovery projects (with an emphasis on steam flood technology) such as Derek's LAK Ranch project. In past projects for major oil companies such as Occidental, Arco Western and Shell Oil Company, Mr. Hurkmans has reduced drilling/production costs and overall operating costs by up to 30%. He has won the ARCO Award for his work at Midway Sunset, the Shell Oil Company Award for his work at Kernridge/McKittrick and was a finalist for the Occidental Engineering Excellence Award in both 2001 and 2003 for his work at Elk Hills.

The following table summarizes performance since completion of this year's drill program and Mr. Hurkman's assumption of duties as Chief Operating Officer:

As shown in the table, average daily production, monthly oil shipments, and gross oil receipts per month are all increasing as the reservoir receives more steam. The production should increase for the next several months as the reservoir heats up.

Quick Overview on Derek for new readers:
  • Derek has a 95% working interest on the overall 8000 acres of prime property located in a regional oil migration fairway in NE Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
  • The 12 well program only is being conducted with a third party on a fifty-fifty cost basis, with the third party receiving fifty percent of the revenue until payback on their initial investment is met. Once payback is met, the third party's working interest (only on the 12 well program area) will revert to forty percent. Derek owns an approximate 4.42% royalty in the overall property.
  • The LAK Ranch property is located five miles from the Newcastle Refinery.
  • The reservoir contains tens of millions of barrels of high quality oil.
  • The oil is viscous & requires an enhanced oil recovery method (EOR) to extract.
  • The infrastructure required to extract the oil was designed & built by Bateman Engineering Inc.
  • The above ground facilities have been paid for in full (by Derek) and are operating successfully. LAK Ranch is producing a high quality, low sulphur and low paraffin oil.
  • Derek's management is confident that the modified Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques we continue to implement are applicable, duplicable and economically viable for the Newcastle Sandstone formation being developed on the LAK Ranch property.
  • Several hydrocarbon targets have been identified with our extensive $1.1 Million USD 3D seismic survey that continues to aid management in identifying potential new targets through further in-depth seismic interpretation.
  • Derek management and its highly qualified Board of Directors are focused & determined on making the LAK Ranch property a domestic oil supplier to the United States of America.

What is Derek's short-term agenda (next 12 months)?
  • Increase overall production as reservoir heats up from the 12 well program.
  • Purchase, permit and install another steam generator to provide more steam into the reservoir.
  • Conduct another drilling program in 2008 to increase production, earnings, and cash flow per share, thereby increasing shareholder value.
  • Continue modifying the long term economic & development plan as new reservoir information is received.


What is Derek's long term goal?

President's Quarterly Report -- August 2006

 THIS IS NOT A NEWS RELEASE - FOR THE INFORMATION OF SHAREHOLDERS ONLY

To Derek Shareholders & Potential Investors:

Derek has spent the past few months focused on finalizing the numbers for the reserve forms to be filed on SEDAR, preparing Derek's 2006 Annual Report, perfecting strategic plans for an independent development program on the LAK Ranch should Derek's JV partner decide to revert to a 15% working interest in the project (Derek becomes operator), re-building the company's corporate website and updating corporate material while monitoring the progress on the LAK Ranch operations. It has been an extremely busy few months of hard work and preparation that Derek is expecting will pay off over the next few months.

Quick Overview for new readers:
  • Derek owns approximately 8000 acres of prime property located in a regional oil migration fairway in NE Wyoming's Powder River Basin
  • Derek owns a 5.42% royalty
  • The property is conveniently located five miles from the Newcastle Refinery
  • The reservoir contains millions of barrels of high quality oil
  • The oil is viscous & requires an enhanced oil recovery method (EOR) to extract
  • The infrastructure required to extract the oil has been built by Bateman Engineering Inc.
  • The Pilot Plant & above ground facilities have been paid for by Derek and are successfully operating and producing
  • We are producing a high quality, low sulphur and low paraffin oil receiving a US $2.25 premium to Wyoming Sweet Crude (other) pricing through TEPPCO
  • We believe that a Modified SAGD program and/or a vertical well development program is applicable on the LAK Ranch property
  • We have already identified several hydrocarbon targets in our extensive 3D seismic survey completed in Q4/04 & continue to identify new potential targets through further in-depth seismic interpretation
  • Derek management and its highly qualified board of directors are focused & determined on making the LAK Ranch property a domestic oil supplier to the United States of America

Recent Operation Observations:
  • Derek continues to place full attention on the LAK Ranch project
  • The limited "Continuous Steaming Program" that commenced in November 2005 continues to demonstrate positive reservoir reactions, increasing temperature readings, decreasing viscosity and increased oil production
  • Successful results are being observed in the limited Pilot Program
  • Multiple targets for future development identified in the 3D seismic interpretation by Derek's geophysicist & geology consultants
  • Fiber optic system has been invaluable in monitoring the reservoir temperature
  • Produced water treatment expenses were greatly reduced with a more effective chemical used for reverse breaker (removes residual oil particles from produced water)
  • A major refiner of produced oil came back on line months ago and oil prices returned to normal which for Derek means receiving a US$2.25 dollar premium to Wyoming Sweet Crude (other) benchmark
  • Successfully tested an economically viable EOR to extract the viscous oil


Blue Sky Potential:
  • The upside hydrocarbon potential in deeper horizons identified in the 3D seismic is still a major part of Derek's future development program.
  • Derek management has decided to resume the discussions & exploration strategies for the deeper hydrocarbon potential at a time when the Newcastle Formation is producing levels that are providing cash flow for re-investing into an exploration program
  • There is ongoing search for property located in North America with similar opportunities and characteristics to the LAK Ranch
  • We are still working on obtaining further acreage contiguous to the LAK Ranch


In order to ensure a successful increase in levels of production from the LAK Ranch reservoir Derek is planning two alternate development scenarios with the same goal and outcome in focus. Derek is preparing to take the Pilot program to the next phase.

What is Derek's short term agenda?
  • Continue preparation of the economic analysis
  • Board approval for reserve form & file on SEDAR
  • Continue to perfect short term development program options
  • Develop & implement optimum independent drill program if required

What is Derek's long term goal?
  • Enter Phase II and increase oil production
  • Reach commercial production levels from LAK Ranch
  • Ensure the best price is being received for oil produced
  • Be a significant oil supplier to North America
  • Re-invest cash flow from the Newcastle Formation's produced oil into the exploration potential identified in deeper horizons or other properties similar to LAK Ranch


Corporate Communications Targets: Derek management continues to develop strong communications by effectively executing its corporate goals:

Current:
  • Investor Relations program with Stockgroup - ongoing
  • Investment Strategy Analyst, Dr. Michael Berry continues his endeavors for further exposure for Derek in the US market

Recent Operation Observations:

  • The operator's focus has been pre-occupied with projects other than the LAK Ranch
  • Derek continues to place full attention on the LAK Ranch project
  • The "Continuous Steaming Program" that commenced in November 2005 has demonstrated positive reservoir reactions, increasing temperature readings, decreasing viscosity and increased oil production
  • Successful results are being observed in the Pilot Program
  • Multiple targets for future development identified in the 3D seismic interpretation by Derek's geophysicist and geology consultants
  • Project has surpassed the exploration stage
  • Successfully tested an economically viable EOR to extract the viscous oil
Blue Sky Potential:
  • The upside hydrocarbon potential identified in the 3D seismic in deeper horizons is still a major part of Derek's future development program. However, Derek management has decided to resume the discussions and exploration strategies for the deeper hydrocarbon potential when the Newcastle Formation is producing levels that are providing cash flow for re-investing into an exploration program
  • Exploration for property located in North America with similar opportunities and characteristics to the LAK Ranch is ongoing
  • We are still working on obtaining further acreage contiguous to the LAK Ranch
Derek has recently observed their JV partner (operators) making new breakthroughs on their other technology-based projects that have shifted their focus from the LAK Ranch project. We postponed the Monthly President's Report to Derek's financial year-end (April 30, 2006) in order to focus on coordinating and implementing some imperative new corporate strategies. Derek is preparing to take the Pilot Phase to the next level.

The above observations have provided Derek with the confidence, drive and knowledge to implement the following strategies for LAK Ranch development:

What is on the short term agenda?

  • Preparing economic analysis
  • Preparing a reserve report
  • Designing a potential development program to be implemented on the LAK Ranch
  • Implementing an independent drill program
What is Derek's long term goal?
  • Commercial Production from the LAK Ranch
  • Ensure the best price is being received for oil produced
  • Be a significant oil supplier to the USA
  • Re-invest cash flow from the Newcastle Formation's produced oil into the exploration potential in deeper horizons or other properties similar to LAK Ranch
