Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Canada Southern 
Petroleum Ltd. To Withdraw Its Common Stock, No Par Value, From Listing 
and Registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc.

June 23, 2005.
    On June 14, 2005, Canada Southern Petroleum Ltd., continued under 
the Alberta Business Corporations Act (``Issuer''), filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'')\1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its common stock, no par value (``Security''), from listing and 
registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 14, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer 
approved preambles and resolutions to withdraw the Security from 
listing and registration on PCX and the Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. 
(``BSE''). In making the decision to withdraw the Security from PCX, 
the Issuer stated that the following reasons factored into the Board's 
decision: (1) The Security (formerly known as ``Limited Voting Shares'' 
when the Issuer was domiciled in Nova Scotia, Canada) was originally 
listed for trading on the BSE and PCX to facilitate the secondary 
market trading of the Security in the U.S. until the Security was 
authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap (``Nasdaq'') 
marketplace in the 1990s; (2) the overwhelming majority of the U.S. 
trading volume in the Security occurs on Nasdaq, with very little (if 
any) trading volume occurring on BSE and PCX; (3) the Security will 
continue to trade in the U.S. on Nasdaq and in Canada on the Toronto 
Stock Exchange, so that the Issuer's U.S. and Canadian shareholders 
will not suffer a material decrease in market liquidity because of the 
planned withdrawal; and (4) the Issuer intends to enjoy cost savings of 
at least $3,000 per year because it will no longer be required to pay 
annual listing maintenance fees to PCX and BSE.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with PCX 
rules by complying with all applicable laws in effect in the province 
of Alberta Canada, the jurisdiction in which the Issuer was continued 
effective March 2, 2005, and by filing with PCX the required documents 
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on 
PCX.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on PCX and from registration under Section 12(b) 
of the Act,\3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be registered 
under Section 12(g) of the Act.\4\
