Summary • This presentation outlines an original concept initiated by Everett Toombs and Gary Van Cleave and previously used by Peak Energy. • Pyramid focuses on the Bakken, one of the largest (possibly the largest) continuous oil accumulations in the world. • Advances in horizontal drilling has made the Bakken oil shale possible • Mr. Toombs Everett is known as one of the preeminent horizontal drilling experts having drilled 20 K ft. wells with 10 K ft. laterals and very knowledgeable of the Bakken shale play. Pyramid is seeking $60 m to purchase rigs, upgrade for cold weather use, purchase tubulars, establish a man camp, and working capital. 4

The transferring of long horizontal wells with multi -staged fracture technologies from the Barnett shale in Texas, Typical wells now produce initial rates in excess of 1000 bopd and up to 500, 000 recoverable barrels of oil. • Source: EIA and Sigma Capital Analysis Estimated 10 year demand for E & P investment $18 to 45 billion dollars 7

Oil Shale Overview Bakken Formation • The Bakken Formation was initially produced in the 1950's on the western edge of the basin. • In April 2008, the U. S. Geologic Survey raised its estimates of recoverable oil reserves in the Bakken Formation of North Dakota and Montana as high as 4. 3 billion barrels of oil, represented about a 2, 400% increase over earlier estimates • Technical studies in the overlying Three Forks formation identified a clastic-silt, low porosity/ low permeabiltiy zone nearly doubling reserves per well. Pyramid focuses on the Bakken, one of the largest (possibly the largest) continuous oil accumulations in the world. 8
