Cautionary Statement to Investors
This press release contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding
the plans, intentions, beliefs and current expectations of GeoGlobal Resources Inc., its directors,
or its officers with respect to the oil and gas exploration, development and drilling activities
being conducted and intended to be conducted and the outcome of those activities on the exploration
blocks in which the Company has an interest. Statements regarding the work commitments to be
fulfilled, the surveys to be conducted, and the results of fulfilling those work commitments, the
outcome of drilling and testing of wells drilled on the exploration blocks and the timing of any
commercial production that may be established are forward-looking statements. There can be no
assurance as to the outcome of those surveys conducted, the exploratory drilling and the testing
and evaluation that may be conducted on the wells drilled or as to the quantity of recoverable
reserves that may exist in the areas of any wells drilled or when, if ever, that the Company may
realize revenues from those wells. The Companys forward-looking statements include the estimated
cost and timing of its exploration activities, including the estimated costs of fulfilling its work
commitments and any exploratory drilling conducted as a consequence of the outcome of the surveys
conducted, the extent of activities conducted and the outcome of those activities. Investors are
cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the success of the
Companys oil and gas exploration, development and drilling activities or the commercial success of
any of its wells and the wells the Company may drill involve risks and uncertainties. The Companys
actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. There
are numerous risks and uncertainties involved in the Companys acquisition of unproved minority and
majority interests in the exploration areas, including the possibilities that no discoveries of
hydrocarbons are made on the exploration blocks or, if discovered, that such discoveries are
determined not to be commercially productive. There can be no assurance that the Companys drilling
program will be successful or that the entire program on any exploration block will be drilled.
There can be no assurance that the Companys estimates as to the time to fulfill work commitments
and complete drilling operations will be accurate. The blocks are a highly speculative exploration
opportunities and pursuing the development of the exploration blocks will involve material risks to
the Company. The Companys interest in Exploration Blocks 11 and 12 under NELP-V and its other
exploration blocks are participating interests and there can be no assurance that such funds as are
required to meet the Companys obligations under those agreements will be available to the Company
in the amounts and when required. The Companys failure to have such funds available at the times
and in the amounts required could materially adversely affect the fulfillment of the Companys
business plans and its interest in those exploration blocks. Additional risks and uncertainties
arise out of seeking to do business overseas in India where political and other world events may
disrupt the Companys plans and intentions. The presence of hydrocarbon reserves on adjacent or
contiguous properties is no assurance or necessary or probable indication that hydrocarbons will be
found in commercially marketable quantities on the exploration blocks in which the Company holds an
interest. Additional important risk factors are described in the Companys periodic filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Companys annual report on Form 10-KSB and
quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB. The filings may be viewed at http://www.sec.gov. and
