RE:                     HARDMAN DRILLING PROGRAMME

Hardman Resources Limited ("Hardman") provides the following update on its
drilling activities:

         UGANDA: Exploration Area 2 Nzizi-1 Exploration/Appraisal Well

Since Hardman's last report, Nzizi-1 has been drilled to a total depth of 1,065
metres in a 6 3/4" hole. As at midnight on 13 November, wireline logs were being
run after having encountered oil shows across the target intervals.

Nzizi-1 is testing a structure up-dip of the Mputa discovery and was designed to
evaluate the equivalent oil bearing reservoirs intersected in the Mputa
structure. Nzizi-1 is situated approximately 5.5 kilometres to the southwest of
Mputa-2 appraisal well.

Equities in Block 2 are:
                                                             Exploration Area 2

Times and dates for Ugandan wells refer to UTC/GMT +3 hours (Uganda time), 5
hours behind Western Standard Time, Perth. Hydrocarbon shows will only be
reported after all required logs have been run and evaluated, although Hardman
will release weekly updates on the exploration drilling campaign.

                MAURITANIA: Block 7 Aigrette-1 Exploration Well

Aigrette-1 has been drilled in 8 1/2" hole to a depth of 4,475 metres. As at
midnight on
13 November, the well is drilling ahead towards the planned target depth of
4,925 metres.

Aigrette-1 is primarily a gas prospect on trend from the Pelican-1 gas
discovery. The primary targets are stacked Cretaceous sandstones with some 0.7
TCF potential. The well is located in a water depth of 1,380 metres
approximately 43 km north, northwest of the 2003 Pelican-1 gas discovery.

Equities in Block 7 are:
                                                                        Block 7
