Update on Arbitrations against Republic of Tunisia

Zenith Energy Ltd. (LSE: ZEN; OSE: ZENA; OTCQB: ZENAF), the listed
international energy production and development company, is pleased to provide
an update regarding the ongoing ICC Arbitration for SLK against the Republic
of Tunisia ("ICC 2 Arbitration") and the ICSID Arbitration against
the Republic of Tunisia ("ICSID Arbitration").

Zenith Energy Africa Ltd. ("ZEAL"), Zenith Overseas Assets Ltd. ("ZOAL") and
Compagnie du Désert Ltd. ("CDD") have appointed Rahim Moloo and Robert Spano
of the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP ("Gibson Dunn") to act as
counsel in their claims against the Republic of Tunisia brought under the
bilateral investment treaty between the United Kingdom and Tunisia under the
auspices of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes for
the ICSID Arbitration.

 

Similarly, Canadian North Africa Oil and Gas Limited ("CNAOG") has also
appointed Rahim Moloo and Robert Spano of Gibson Dunn to act as counsel in the
parallel arbitration proceedings brought against Tunisia under the auspices of
the ICC for the ICC 2 Arbitration.

 

Gibson Dunn has appeared in numerous high-stake arbitral proceedings before
all major arbitral institutions. Gibson Dunn's international arbitration
lawyers are regularly ranked by legal publications.

 

Rahim Moloo is a partner and co-chair of the firm's International Arbitration
Group. He has been recognized by Who's Who Legal as "one of the most skilled
advocates of his generation" and a "Global Elite Thought Leader".

 

Robert Spano is the former president of the European Court of Human Rights,
the youngest judge ever to be elected to the presidency in the Court's
history.

 

Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"We are delighted to appoint Gibson Dunn, one of the world's leading
arbitration specialists, as legal counsel in relation to the ICC 2 Arbitration
and ICSID Arbitration.

 

The Company will work closely with Rahim Moloo and Robert Spano with the
objective of redressing the very significant damages caused by the actions of
the Tunisian authorities to the detriment of Zenith and its shareholders."
