1. Details of the Offer

1.1 The Offer

The Company is offering pursuant to this Prospectus up to 1,000 Listed Options each at an issue price of $0.01 exercisable at $0.02 on or before 1 September 2023 to raise a total of up to $10 (before costs) (Offer).

The Offer is not underwritten.

Refer to Section 4.2 for the terms and conditions of the Listed Options. See Section 4.1 for a summary of the rights attaching to Shares issued on exercise of the Listed Options.

1.2 Background

The Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant the Placement Options, Advisor Options and Winform Options as detailed below.

Each of the Placement Options, Advisor Options and Winform Options have an exercise price of $0.02 and expiry date of 1 September 2023 and will be in the same class as the Company's existing listed Options.

  1. Placement Options

On 31 July 2020, the Company announced a placement to professional and sophisticated investors of 30,000,000 Shares each at an issue price of 0.5 cents per Share together with, subject to Shareholder approval, 15,000,000 free-attaching Placement Options on the basis of one Placement Option for every two Shares subscribed for to raise $150,000 before costs (Placement).

On 12 August 2020, the Placement Shares were issued using the Company's placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Placement was followed by a rights issue to Shareholders which was oversubscribed and raised approximately $1.2 million before costs (Rights Issue).

  1. Advisor Options

GTT acted as lead manager to the Placement and Rights Issue and received a 6% fee on funds raised. The Company also agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant 50,000,000 Advisor Options to GTT (or its nominee) as a fee for such services.

  1. Winform Options

The Company has reached a settlement agreement with Winform Nominees pursuant to which Winform Nominees has agreed to release the Company from its obligations under a Converting Loan Agreement entered into by Winform Nominees and the Company in February 2015. Further details are in the Company's notice of annual general meeting dated 26 October 2020.

Under the terms of the Company's settlement agreement with Winform Nominees, the Company has paid Winform Nominees $150,000 from proceeds of the Placement and Rights Issue, granted a 1% royalty over production from the Bowsprit Project and agreed, subject to Shareholder approval, to grant Winform Nominees (or its nominee) a total of 15,000,000 Winform Options.

Shareholders approved the issue of the Placement Options, Advisor Options and Winform Options at the Company's annual general meeting held on 27 November 2020.

The Company is proposing to issue these Options on or about the date of this Prospectus.

5

1.3 Purpose of the Offer

This Prospectus has been issued to facilitate secondary trading of the Placement Options, Winform Options and Advisor Options as they have or will be issued without disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. A prospectus is required under the Corporations Act to enable persons who were issued the Placement Options, Winform Options and Advisor Options to on-sell such Options within 12 months of their issue.

The Company did not issue the Placement Options, Winform Options and Advisor Options with the purpose of the persons to whom they were issued selling or transferring their securities, or granting, issuing or transferring interests in those securities within 12 months of the issue but this Prospectus provides them the ability to do so should they wish.

Accordingly, the purpose of this Prospectus is to:

  1. make the Offer; and
  2. ensure that the on-sale of the Placement Options, Winform Options and Advisor Options does not breach Section 707(3) of the Corporations Act by relying on the exemption to the secondary trading provisions in Section 708A(11) of the Corporations Act.

1.4 Opening and Closing Dates

There is no minimum amount sought to be raised by the Offer. If the Offer is fully subscribed, the Offer will raise $10 (before costs of the Offer). The Company will proceed to issue the Listed Options if a lesser amount is raised and irrespective of the amount raised. The Company intends to issue the Listed Options progressively as Applications are received and in any event, will issue all Listed Options as soon as possible after the Closing Date.

There is no provision for oversubscriptions.

1.6 Application Forms

6

2. Risk Factors

Activities in the Company and its controlled entities, as in any business, are subject to risks, which may impact on the Company's future performance. The Company and its controlled entities have implemented appropriate strategies, actions, systems and safeguards for known risks, however, some are outside its control.

The Directors consider that the following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the major risk factors associated with an investment in the Company. Securityholders should carefully consider the following factors in addition to the other information presented in this Prospectus.

The principal risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

2.1 Specific Risks associated with the Company

  1. Future capital needs and financing
    The Company does not currently have any operating revenue. Accordingly, it must continue to fund its activities and overheads through its cash reserves, equity capital or debt. The continued viability of the Company is therefore dependent upon the success of its ability to secure future financing or generate income from activities which the company cannot forecast with any certainty. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to successfully raise further funds in the future. Any additional equity financing will be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding as needed, it may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or develop projects and the Company may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion. Accordingly, the ability for the Company to continue as a going concern is contingent on the raising of further debt or equity funds in the future.
  2. Current assets
    A number of specific risk factors that may impact the future performance of the Company are described below. Securityholders should note that this list is not exhaustive.
    The Company's primary project is the Bowsprit Project located in the shallow inland waters offshore Louisiana. Specific risks relating to this project include:
    1. the cash reserves currently available to the Company will be insufficient to fund the Company through the full development of the project and the Company will require further funds via a farm out and/or a further capital raising to drill the project;
    2. a farm out cannot be achieved in the time frame contemplated or that market conditions (low oil price, market weakness etc.) will not be conducive to a capital raise. Without further funds the Company will deplete its cash reserves;
    3. the well costs may exceed the budget or the Company's funding capability or that the Company may be unable to raise the funds to pay for the production facilities;
    4. the Company's view of the project will be based on data acquired from ~1960 to
      1990 and limitations contained therein;
    5. on drilling the reservoir, the field may not flow oil as forecast, either a lower oil rate, with too much associated water or mechanical failure in the well; and
    6. the oil price may drop to a level that the project is deemed sub commercial.

9

  1. Operational Risks
    The general business of the Company is exploration for, and commercial development of, conventional and unconventional oil reservoirs, which is subject to the risks inherent in these activities. The current and future operations of the Company may be affected by a range of factors, including:
    1. geological conditions;
    2. limitations on activities due to seasonal weather patterns;
    3. alterations to exploration programs and budgets;
    4. unanticipated operational and technical difficulties encountered in, drilling, development, production and treatment activities;
    5. mechanical failure of plant and equipment;
    6. adverse weather conditions, industrial and environmental accidents, industrial disputes and other force majeure events;
    7. unavailability of drilling, processing and other equipment;
    8. unexpected shortages or increases in the costs of consumables, spare parts, plant and equipment and labour;
    9. prevention of access by reason of inability to obtain regulatory or landowner consents or approvals;
    10. terms imposed by government on development of production-related projects including conditions such as environmental rehabilitation and taxes; and
    11. delays in completing feasibility studies and obtaining development approvals.

Whether or not income will result from projects undergoing exploration and development programs depends on successful exploration and establishment of production facilities.

There is no assurance that any exploration on current or future interests will result in the discovery of an economic petroleum deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically developed.

  1. Compliance Risk
    The Company holds an interest in various Petroleum tenements. Title to these tenements is subject to the Company, as tenement holder, complying with the terms and conditions of each tenement, including the drilling commitments. There is a risk that if the Company does not comply with the terms and conditions of each tenement, it may lose its interest in the relevant tenement.
    The Company has implemented appropriate policies and practices to mitigate the risk that the terms and conditions attaching to each of the tenements it has an interest in are not complied with.
  2. Joint Venture Parties, Agents and Contractors

10

The Directors are unable to predict the risk of financial failure or default by a participant in any joint venture to which the Company is or may become a party or the insolvency or managerial failure by any of the contractors used by the Company in any of its activities or the insolvency or other managerial failure by any of the other service providers used by the Company for any activity.

  1. Country Risk
    The Company holds interest in assets located in USA but may acquire assets in foreign countries in the future. Operations by the Company may require approvals from regulatory authorities which include renewals of existing service contacts, licences or permits, which may not be forthcoming or which may not be able to be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.
    While the Company has no reason to believe that all requisite approvals will not be forthcoming and while the Company's obligations for expenditure will be predicated on any requisite approvals being obtained it should be understood that the Company cannot guarantee that any requisite approvals will be obtained. A failure to obtain any approvals would mean the ability of the Company to develop or operate any project, or possibly acquire any project, may be limited or restricted either in part or absolutely.
    Additionally, there are risks associated with exploration and production activities and investments generally in foreign countries that may adversely affect the business, costs, expenditure and profitability of the Company. These risks include:
    1. changes in foreign country government, government policies, regulatory regime, economic change, civil instability, attitudes towards foreigners or their businesses in their country;
    2. land access and environmental regulation may be adverse or beneficial; and
    3. the applicable legal regime including investment into and repatriation of revenue out of the foreign country.
  2. Environmental
    The Company's projects are or may be subject to various laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and the discharge of hazardous waste and materials. The Company may be required to comply from time to time with environmental management issues that arise from factors beyond its control. The conduct of exploration and production activities, if any ultimately takes place, on the Company's properties is subject to receipt of all necessary environmental approvals. There can be no guarantee that such approvals will be forthcoming and the conditions imposed for the grant of such approvals may be so onerous that they render the project uneconomic.
  3. Insurance
    Insurance against all risks associated with mineral exploration is not always available or affordable. The Company will maintain insurance where it is considered appropriate for its needs however it will not be insured against all risks either because appropriate cover is not available or because the Directors consider the required premiums to be excessive having regard to the benefits that would accrue.
    The occurrence of an event that is not covered or fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the operations of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates that it considers is reasonable.

11

2.2 General Risks

The future prospects of the Company's business may be affected by circumstances and external factors beyond the Company's control. Financial performance of the Company may be affected by a number of business risks that apply to companies generally and may include economic, financial, market or regulatory conditions.

  1. General Economic Climate
    Factors such as inflation, currency fluctuation, interest rates and supply and demand have an impact on operating costs, commodity prices and stock market prices. The Company's future revenues and securities price may be affected by these factors, as well as by fluctuations in the price of commodities, which are beyond the Company's control.
  2. COVID-19risk
    The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is impacting global economic markets. The nature and extent of the effect of the outbreak on the performance of the
    Company remains unknown. The Company's Share price may be adversely affected in the short to medium term by the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Further, any governmental or industry measures taken in response to COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company's operations and are likely to be beyond the control of the Company.
    The Directors are monitoring the situation closely and have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business and financial performance. However, the situation is continually evolving, and the consequences are therefore inevitably uncertain. If any of these impacts appear material prior to close of the Offer, the Company will notify investors under a supplementary prospectus.
  3. Changes in Legislation and Government Regulation
    Government legislation in Australia or any other relevant jurisdiction, including changes to the taxation system, may affect future earnings and relative attractiveness of investing in the Company. Changes in government policy or statutory changes may affect the Company and the attractiveness of an investment in it.
  4. Competition for Projects
    The Company competes with other companies, including petroleum exploration and production companies. Some of these companies have greater financial and other resources than the Company. As a result, such companies may be in a better position to compete for future business opportunities and there can be no assurance that the Company can effectively compete with these companies. In the event that the Company is not able to secure a new project or business opportunity this may have an adverse effect on the operations of the Company, its possible future profitability and the trading price of its securities, including the Securities offered under this Prospectus.
  5. Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risk
    If the Company achieves success leading to oil production, the revenue it will derive through the sale exposes the potential income of the Company to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices fluctuate and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Company. Such factors include supply and demand fluctuations for precious and base metals, technological advancements, forward selling activities and other macro-economic factors.

12

Furthermore, international prices of various commodities are denominated in United States dollars, whereas the income and expenditure of the Company are and will be taken into account in Australian and South Korean currency, exposing the Company to the fluctuations and volatility of the rate of exchange between the United States dollar, the Australian dollar and Korean Won as determined in international markets.

  1. Reliance on Key Personnel
    The Company's success depends largely on the core competencies of its directors and management, and their familiarisation with, and ability to operate, in the petroleum industry and the Company's ability to find and retain key executives.
  2. Share market Conditions
    The market price of the Company's securities may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general and resources stocks in particular.

2.3 Investment Speculative

The above list of risk factors ought not to be taken as exhaustive of the risks faced by the Company or by investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Shares offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee with respect to the payment of dividends, returns of capital or the market value of those Shares. Potential investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Shares pursuant to this Prospectus.
