RE: Stayin' Heavy and Healthy

GRANT DAUNHEIMER, Dundee Securities (05/11/2010)
"Rock reported Q1/10 production in line with our forecasts with higher operating costs countered by lower royalties. All in cash flow was 2% lower than expected.

Rock exited the quarter with net debt of ~$32M on a recently expanded bank line of $50M providing ample financial flexibility to grow production through 2010/2011

Rock continues to demonstrate operational success over its enviable asset base characterized by both heavy oil and high impact natural gas opportunities. Rock will continue to focus the majority of activity on its heavy oil play given the strong netbacks associated with the program, while at the same time taking steps to de-risk their emerging Deep Basin Montney and Nikanassin plays. We believe Rock continues to offer investors access to one of a select few junior companies with a significant oil weighting, coupled with repeatable drilling prospects, a strong balance sheet and attractive valuations. We are maintaining our BUY rating and $5.75 target price."
