HIGHLIGHTS

August 2014

Cullen-1 (Bonaparte Basin, Northern Territory) was cased and suspended at 3325 metres for future testing after intersecting 1000 metres of limestone and interbedded shale with evidence of natural fractures and elevated mud gas readings. In addition 1600 metres of dark grey to black marine shale were intersected with two cores cut for evaluation purposes including gas desorption analyses.

Balgowan-1 exploration well was cased and suspended after intersecting an oil bearing reservoir, with 3.5 metres of net pay in the Namur Sandstone and two metres in the McKinlay Member. This discovery confirms the extension of the oil fairway to the north east of recent discoveries in PEL 91 and brings a new focus on a number of other prospects in this northern area of the permit.

Burners-1 exploration well intersected an oil bearing reservoir with one metre net pay in the

Namur Sandstone and an oil bearing McKinlay Member. A drill stem test over the interval
1410.8 metres to 1418.0 metres in the McKinlay Member recovered 5.1 bbls of oil during the four hour test.
