Oil equivalent amounts have been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. 4. May not add due to rounding. Reserves Values The estimated before tax net revenues associated with Cumberland's reserves effective December 31, 2010, and based on the published McDaniel (2011-01) future price forecast, are summarized in the following table: Discounted at: ($ thousands) 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proved Producing 4,686.1 3,674.0 2,994.8 2,518.8 2,171.7 Non-producing 3,657.3 2,786.9 2,228.6 1,849.2 1,577.9 Undeveloped 1,493.6 995.3 656.3 419.3 249.0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total proved 9,837.0 7,456.3 5,879.7 4,787.3 3,998.6 Probable 11,497.4 6,568.6 4,164.8 2,843.3 2,038.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total proved plus probable 21,334.4 14,024.9 10,044.5 7,630.5 6,037.1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1.

May not add due to rounding. 3. Prior to provision of income taxes, interest, debt service charges and general and administrative expenses. It should not be assumed that the undiscounted and discounted future net revenues estimated by McDaniel represent the fair market value of the reserves. 4.

Capital Efficiency - 2010 The efficiency of the Company's capital program for the year ended December 31, 2010 is summarized below. National Instrument 51-101 requires that the exploration and development costs incurred in the year, along with the change in estimated future development costs, be aggregated and then divided by the applicable reserve additions. Proved plus ($ Thousands) Proved Probable ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exploration and development expenditures (note 3) 3,022 3,022 Change in future development capital 1,341 3,422 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4,363 6,444 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserve additions - (Mboe) Exploration and development 191.7 426.3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding & development costs ($/boe) (note 1) $ 22.76 $ 15.12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reserves replacement ratio (note 4) 7.8 17.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated future development costs generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year. 2. Calculation includes reserve revision and changes in future development costs. 3. 2010 amounts include information based on estimated unaudited financial results that may change on the completion of the audited financial statements. 4. Calculated by dividing the 2010 reserve additions after revisions by the 2010 total production. Net Asset Value The following table provides management's calculation of Cumberland's estimated net asset value at December 31, 2010 based on the estimated future net revenues associated with Cumberland's proved plus probable reserves before income tax and discounted at 10%, as presented in the McDaniel Report and an internal estimate of undeveloped land value. ($ thousands) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proved plus probable reserves - discounted at 10% 10,044.5 Undeveloped land (note 1) 688.3 Estimated working capital as at December 31, 2010 (notes 2 & 3) 1,626.7 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net asset value 12,359.5 Diluted common shares outstanding (thousands) 35,684 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net asset value per share ($) $ 0.35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1.

Working capital includes an estimate of the Company's accounts receivable less accounts payable and accrued liabilities as at December 31, 2010. CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Unaudited Financial Information Certain financial and operating information included in this press release for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, such as finding and development costs, production information and net asset value, are based on estimated unaudited financial results for the quarter and year then ended and are subject to the same limitations as discussed under Reader Advisories set out below. These estimated amounts may change upon the completion of audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and changes could be material. Information Regarding Disclosure on Oil and Gas Reserves Our oil and gas reserves statement for the year ended December 31, 2010, which will include complete disclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101, will be contained within our Annual Information Form which will be available on our SEDAR profile by April 30, 2011 at www.sedar.com. In relation to the disclosure of estimates of reserves relating to less than all of the Company's reserves, such estimates for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. In relation to the disclosure of net asset value ("NAV'), the NAV table shows what is normally referred to a "produce-out" NAV calculation under which the current value of the Company's reserves would be produced at forecast future prices and costs and do not necessarily represent a "going concern" value of the Company. The value is a snapshot in time and is based on various assumptions including commodity prices and foreign exchange rates that vary over time. It should not be assumed that the future net revenues estimated by McDaniel represent the fair market value of the reserves, nor should it be assumed that Cumberland's estimated value of its undeveloped land represents the fair market value of the lands.
