Platino Strategy
Pursuing transactions to generate near-term catalysts
Management remains focused on:
1) Utilizing Platino’s strong financial position
• March 31, 2014 cash and short-term investments of US$53 MM
(~C$0.84/basic share)(1)
• No debt
• Low ANH commitments
• Reduced annualized G&A run rate of ~$2.5 MM
2) Maintaining the ability to execute quickly on strategic opportunities
3) Developing a prospective long-term portfolio
• Three Putumayo blocks with high working interest
• Proven oil at Coati with activity expected to re-start in Q2 2014
• Minimal required capital spend in 2014 preserves cash for
transactions
1. CAD/USD exchange rate of 1.1055 as at March 31, 2014

Advisory
Forward-looking Information
This corporate presentation contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws that involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking information typically contains statements with words such as "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "potential", "could", "will", "plans" or similar words suggesting future
outcomes. Platino cautions readers and prospective investors in Platino's securities to not place undue reliance on forward-looking information as by its nature, it is based on current
expectations regarding future events that involve a number of assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated
by Platino.
Forward-looking information in this presentation includes, but is not limited to, information concerning the expectations of Platino with respect to Platino's future production and reserve
growth, Platino's drilling plans (including the timelines and costs associated with those drilling plans), Platino's interest in the Coati Block following an earn-in by Canacol, plans and
expectations regarding the completion of certain of Platino's wells, future ANH commitments, Platino's 2014 capital expenditure program and proposed budget, resource potential,
Platino's seismic program, expected future production from such wells and Platino's ability to fund future development programs from its current cash position, future cash flows or
otherwise. These forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions regarding Platino's operations and the operating environment in Colombia. In particular, the statements
regarding Platino being the operator of the Coati, Morpho and Andaquies blocks are subject to assumptions regarding the ability of Platino to obtain the approval of the ANH in due
course. Statements regarding the estimated spending are subject to assumptions that the costs of the company’s drilling plans will be in line with estimates and the absence of other
transactions and spending opportunities for the remainder of 2013. Platino's drilling and seismic plans are subject to change if circumstances change or if management of Platino
determines that other business plans are more appropriate.
Forward-looking information involves significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by
Platino including, but not limited to, general risks associated with the oil and gas industry (e.g. operational risks in exploration; inherent uncertainties in interpreting geological data;
changes in plans with respect to exploration or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of estimates and projections in relation to costs and expenses and health, safety and environmental
risks), the risk of commodity price and foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the uncertainty associated with obtaining necessary ANH approvals and with negotiating with the ANH or with
other third parties in countries other than Canada, the risk associated with international activity and certain other risks detailed in Platino's Form 2B TSX Venture Exchange listing
application and other public disclosure documents from time to time, copies of which are available on Platino's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
The forward-looking information included in this presentation is expressly qualified in its entirety by this cautionary statement. Platino cautions that the foregoing list of assumptions, risks
and uncertainties is not exhaustive. The forward-looking information included herein speak only as of the date hereof and Platino assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking information to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
