October 18, 2007 Tbilisi, Georgia CanArgo Energy Corporation (CanArgo or the Company)
(OSE: CNR, AMEX: CNR) today issued an update on testing operations on the Kumisi #1 well and the
planned acid fracturing stimulation of the Manavi 12 well in Georgia.
Testing operations have now been completed at the Kumisi #1 well. Following testing of the
Cretaceous interval, further tests were carried out of potential reservoir units in the overlying
Middle and Lower Eocene sequences. Three separate tests were conducted with a total of 79 feet
(24 metres) of sandstones being perforated and flow tested. These tests produced water with gas
flow to surface in flareable quantities, but non commercial volumes. Each interval was flow tested
for a number of days over which there was no increase in the amount of gas produced and the testing
was subsequently terminated.
The Kumisi #1 well is currently being plugged and abandoned. The well results, particularly for the
Cretaceous interval, will be reviewed over the months ahead in order to fully understand the
remaining potential of the Kumisi area, it being possible that potential for a large gas prospect
still exists within this very large structure given better reservoir quality.
At the M12 well located on the Manavi oil discovery, operations continue in order to prepare the
well for the planned acid fracture stimulation treatment and to continue production testing the
well. Schlumberger have been contracted to provide pumping equipment, chemicals and services to
the Company. An initial mobilisation date was planned for late September, but Schlumberger has now
informed the Company that, due to unforeseen circumstances, they will not be ready to commence
mobilisation of the equipment before the end of October or early November. It is therefore
anticipated that the fracture stimulation will now be done in November after which the well will be
flow tested.
The information in this report (including its exhibit) shall not be deemed to be filed for
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), or

exhibit) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document
filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general
incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference
in such filing.
