OUTLOOK

The Company's forward strategy includes a near term focus on its drilling programs in Montana and Alberta. The Montana program includes the drilling, completion and equipping of two wells at a total estimated cost of US$1.2 million. The first well is targeted to spud in the second half of June as part of a two to four well exploration program. Mobius's technical team continued its work on the Duvernay play in Alberta aimed at selecting its first two drilling locations for the late summer/early fall of 2014. At the same time the Company remains committed to the divestiture of some or all of its oil and gas acreage in the San Joaquin basin, California. The benefits upon a successful divestiture would be to free up capital for further developing its Montana and Alberta properties.


Director Resignation

The Company announces that Mr. Bob Cross has resigned as a director of the Company. We wish to thank Bob for his contribution and guidance as a board member and Chairman of the Company.
