Strategy

==> picture [100 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

Corporate Strategy

  • Commercialisation of existing discoveries

  • Early entry to high impact exploration opportunities in proven oil and gas basins

  • Focus on areas where management has experience and track record

Operating Strategy

  • Maintain operatorship through the exploration ‐ appraisal phase of the asset cycle

Funding Strategy

  • Acquire material permit interests of 50+% which provides monetisation leverage

  • Fund drilling via farm‐outs but retain significant interests which provides material upside to drilling success

Notes Regarding Resource Assessments

¹Gross : Prospective (recoverable) Resources attributable to 100% joint venture interest ²Net : Prospective (recoverable) Resources attributable to the ADX operated 50% joint venture interest ³MMboe : Million barrels of oil equivalent. Conversion factor: 1bcf of gas is 0.178 MMboe

⁴ The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both a risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
