Dear Sir:

Re: Farmout Proposal – Evi Prospect, Province of Alberta

This Agreement outlines the terms upon which 1048136 Alberta Ltd. (“1048136”) will grant to Movito Holdings Ltd. a farmin opportunity (the “Farmin”) on certain lands known as the “Evi Prospect”, located in the Province of Alberta.

1.	Definitions and Schedules In this Agreement, the definitions provided by the 1997 CAPL Farmout and Royalty Procedure (the “Farmout and Royalty Procedure”), Article 1.01, shall apply; however, unless inconsistent therewith or unless the context otherwise requires, specific terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

	i)	“AFE” means an authorization for expenditure issued by the Operator;
	ii)	“CAPL” means the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen;
	iii)	“Farmee” means Silver Star Energy Inc.;
	iv)	“Farmor” means 1048136;
	v)	“Farmin Lands” means those lands described on Schedule “A” hereto;
	vi)	“Well” means a well drilled on the Farmin Lands.

The following schedules are attached to and deemed to form parts of this Agreement:

a)	Schedule “A”	Description of Farmin Lands
b)	Schedule “B”	Development Budget;
c)	Schedule “C”	1997 CAPL Farmout and Royalty Procedure (Elections and Amendments);
d)	Schedule “D”	Summary of 1990 CAPL Operating Procedure (Elections and Amendments); and
e)	Schedule “E”	Summary of 1998 Revised PASC Accounting Procedure (Elections and Amendments).

Drilling/Funding Obligations

By no later than the dates set forth hereinbelow, the Farmee shall advance to the Farmor the sums set forth (the “Development Funds”), or shall provide equivalent credit facilities against which the Farmor may draw.

     February 1, 2004 – USD$500,000
     March 1, 2004 – USD$500,000
     April 1, 2004 – USD$500,000
     May 1, 2004 – USD$500,000

Subject to anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, the Farmor shall use the Development Funds exclusively for the development of the Farmin Lands including, without limitation, to drill, fully test, complete, cap or abandon up to three Wells, consisting of one initial exploration Well (the “Exploration Well”) and up to two additional development Wells (the “Development Wells”). The proposed budget for the Wells shall be as set forth in Schedule “B” hereto and the Exploration Well spud date shall be on or before March 1, 2004. The Farmor shall in its absolute discretion determine the drilling locations for the Exploration Well and all subsequent Development Well(s) on the Farmin Lands, and shall have the right to determine the spud dates of all Wells drilled on the Farmin Lands after the Exploration Well is drilled, fully tested,

	completed, capped or abandoned. The Farmor shall receive and approve all AFE’s issued by the Operator and shall provide a copy of such AFE(s) to Farmee, together with a cash-call notice. The Farmor shall cause the Wells to be drilled, fully tested, completed, capped or abandoned on the Farmin Lands using the Development Funds, acting on a commercially reasonable basis, and any balance of the Development Funds remaining after the completion of such drilling programs shall become the property of the Farmor.

3.	Interest Earned Provided the Farmee has advanced the Development Funds and otherwise completed its obligations under paragraph 2 hereof, the Farmee shall, subject to Article 3.00 of the Farmout and Royalty Procedure, have earned 66.67% (the “Earned Interest”) of the Farmor’s working interest in the Farmin Lands.

4.	Reasonable Extension If, in the Farmor’s reasonably held opinion, ground conditions or other industry-related conditions render the drilling of the Exploration Well impossible or impracticable, an extension of the time required to spud the Exploration Well shall be allowed until such time as the adverse condition(s) ceases to exist, with sufficient time then allowed to reasonably permit the drilling of the Exploration Well.

5.	Assignment The Farmee shall have the right to contract with an industry partner to share its obligations hereunder; however, unless a written amendment to this Agreement is executed by all involved parties, no such arrangements shall reduce or otherwise affect the Farmee’s obligations hereunder. Upon earning an interest in the Farmin Lands, the 1993 CAPL Assignment Procedure (the “Assignment Procedure”) shall apply.

6.	Operator The Farmor shall in its absolute discretion appoint the operator (the “Operator”) of all drilling programs conducted pursuant to this Agreement, and Well operations shall be performed in accordance with the 1990 CAPL Operating Procedure. Notwithstanding the Farmee has met its obligations to acquire the Earned Interest, it is agreed that the Farmor will be entitled to appoint the operator of the first five (5) Wells, including the Exploration Well and Development Wells drilled pursuant to paragraph 2, if and when drilled on the Farmin Lands, as the case may be, and the Farmee agrees that any subsequent farmout or assignment will only be acceptable subject to this condition.

7.	No Interest In the event that the Development Funds required by paragraph 2 are not provided on or before the due dates, Farmee shall have earned no interest in the Farmin Lands.

8.	Incorporation of CAPL Procedures The 1997 CAPL Farmout and Royalty Procedure, 1990 CAPL Operating Procedure, and 1988 PASC Accounting Procedure (the “Accounting Procedure”) are incorporated in and are deemed to form a part of this Agreement, and shall be read with the elections and modifications thereto made by Schedules “C”, “D” and “E”, respectively.

9.	Confidentiality The Farmor and Farmee agree that all information shared between the parties concerning the Farmin Lands and the development thereof shall be held in confidence and shall not used for any purposes other than completing this transaction and matters directly related thereto.

10.	General

	10.1	The Farmor and Farmee shall each bear its own out-of-pocket costs, including legal, accounting, engineering and consulting expenses, incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof.

	10.2	The rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will be binding on and enure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the heirs, executors, administrators and assigns of natural persons who are or become parties hereto. Except as provided herein, the rights or obligations of the parties may not be assigned by any party hereto without the consent of the other party hereto.

	10.3	This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein. The parties hereto irrevocably attorn to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia.
