    STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE


    ROC MERGER WITH ANZON ENERGY LIMITED ("AEL")
    APPROVED BY THE COURT



    ROC is pleased to announce that the Court today approved the Scheme of Arrangement ("Scheme") to implement the merger of ROC with AEL.
AEL shareholders overwhelmingly approved the Scheme at a meeting on 3 September 2008, with 99.92% of the vote in favour of the merger.  

    AEL is expected to lodge a copy of the Court order with ASIC on 8 September 2008, upon which the Scheme will become effective. Upon the
Scheme becoming effective, ROC will acquire AEL's 53.1% controlling interest in Anzon Australia Limited ("AZA") and the off-market Takeover
Offer for AZA will be declared unconditional.  

    It is expected the Scheme will be implemented and AEL will become a wholly owned subsidiary of ROC on 22 September 2008.

    The Takeover Offer is currently scheduled to close at 7.00pm (AEST) on 6 October 2008 (unless extended).
