Oil Sands Mining: Marathon's October 2007 acquisition of Western Oil Sands Inc. positioned us to realize a fully integrated oil strategy. The Company will capitalize on our ownership of the long-life Canadian oil sands mining resources by upgrading and expanding our top-tier refineries. The oil sands mining assets in the Athabasca Region of Northern Alberta, Canada, give Marathon access to a potential multi billion-barrel bitumen resource base. Aligning these Canadian resources with our strategically advantaged refining assets will bring value to the market quickly and efficiently.
