F ORWARD L OOKING I NFORMATION 2 This presentation contains forward - looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21 E o f the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You can identify forward - looking statements by the use of forward - looking words, such as “expects,” “projects,” “predicts,” “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “possible,” “goal,” “target,” “should,” or “intends” or the negative of those words or similar wo rds . Forward - looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations. Forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:  speculative nature of oil and natural gas exploration, particularly in the Bakken and Three Forks formations on which we are foc used;  substantial capital requirements and ability to access additional capital;  ability to meet our drilling and well - completion schedules;  uncertainty of drilling results;  results of acquisitions;  relationships with partners and service providers;  ability to acquire additional leasehold interests or other oil and natural gas properties;  defects in title to our leasehold interests or other oil and natural gas properties;  inability to manage growth in our business;  ability to control properties that we do not operate;  lack of geographic diversification;  competition in the oil and natural gas industry;  global financial conditions;  oil and natural gas realized prices;  ability to market and distribute oil and natural gas produced ;  seasonal weather conditions;  government regulation of the oil and natural gas industry, including potential regulations affecting hydraulic stimulation an d e nvironmental regulations, such as climate change regulations; and  uninsured or underinsured risks. We have based these forward - looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our manage ment considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other risks, continge nci es, and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these sta tem ents. Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward - looking statements to reflect events or cir cumstances occurring after the date of such statements, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements. Readers are also urged to review carefully and to consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the SEC, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors th at may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actu al results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

■ AMZG’s relatively higher quality reservoir allows them to complete 30 – 40 stage fracks with only ~2.5 million pounds of proppant ■ Majority of wells in the core of the basin require 4 – 5 million pounds of proppant, often times with more costly ceramics vs. the standard frack sand that AMZG uses ■ In AMZG’s Spyglass Project Area, the Bakken and Three Forks formations occur at depths of approximately 8,000 vs. 10,000 – 11,000 feet in core areas of the Williston ■ Shallower depths allow for faster drilling and lower completion costs for AMGZ L OWER DRILL DEPTH AND BETTER ROCK QUALITY LEAD TO LOWER D&C COSTS 12 Divide County’s shallower reservoir depths Low D&C costs driven by Sources : North Dakota geologic survey 1,778 8,955 - 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 - 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 Lateral length (ft) Proppant (000's of lbs) Divide: Proppant (mlbs) Divide: Proppant average Divide: Lateral length Divide: Lateral average Sources : North Dakota geologic survey and EERC survey

■ AMZG’s core asset is ~46,800 net acre position in northwest Divide County, ND targeting the Three Forks and Middle Bakken formations ■ The Spyglass Project Area’s advantageous geologic characteristics allow AMZG to achieve IRRs from 45% – 50% for the Company’s Three Forks long lateral wells and produces a NPV of ~$7 MM per well, based on Ryder Scott assumptions in the 2014 mid - year reserve report - Low D&C costs of $6.4 MM driven by shallower drilling depths and less demanding completion characteristics - Shallower decline curve generates 400 Mboe EUR for Three Forks long lateral ■ Recent M&A activity in the Williston Basin including SM Energy / Baytex , Triangle Petroleum / Marathon Oil, Liberty / Sequel and Whiting Petroleum / Kodiak, further validates the play and AMZG’s asset value ■ AMZG has grown production from 155 Boepd in 1Q 2012 to 2,006 Boepd in 2Q 2014 ■ 2014 mid - year 1P reserves of 15.4 Mmboe (89% oil) with a PV - 10 of $336 MM, from $308 MM at year end 2013 (1) - Reserve life of 21 years and an inventory of approximately 298 net unrisked locations provides AMZG ample running room to continue to deliver meaningful reserve, production and cash flow growth into the future ■ 2014 drilling and completion budget of $115 MM for the 12 - month period ending 12/31/14 (~$55 MM remaining as of 6/30/14) (2) ■ 2 rig program contemplates drilling 28 gross (18 net) operated wells in 2014 ■ Focus on continuous improvement and implementation of industry best practices – spud to rig release days has achieved 55% reduced drill time since 1Q 2012 ■ Seek to minimize weather impact by minimizing completions performed during harsh winter conditions ■ Average unlevered cash operating margin in excess of $50 per Boe since 2013, with potential to further expand margins ■ Oil takeaway handled by trucking oil to rail terminals - Transportation costs likely to further decline as additional pipeline infrastructure is built out ■ Gas gathering system expected to be in place during 4Q 2014, which will provide full gas processing and sales ■ Pro forma cash of $67 million + $60 million of anticipated availability from RBL credit facility = $127 million of liquidity ■ AMZG intends to target a net leverage ratio of < 2.0x Adj.
