This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.

1. BACKGROUND TO CONVERTIBLE LOAN FACILITY

1.1 General

The Company entered into a secured convertible notes trust deed with Resilient Investment Group Pty Ltd ( Trustee ), the Company’s major shareholder, on 22 October 2019 pursuant to which it is undertaking a capital raising by way of convertible notes ( Convertible Notes ) with sophisticated and professional investors ( Note Holders ) to raise up to $6 million (the Convertible Loan Facility ).

Funds raised under the Convertible Loan Facility are being used to pay down an existing bank facility with ANB Bank ( ANB Loan ), to fund the drilling of wells at the Slanovich tenement and the Cimarex tenement and for general working capital purposes.

The Trustee facilitated the Convertible Loan Facility and is acting as trustee for the Note Holders.

Ausco Petroleum Inc. and Kentucky Exploration Inc. (the Guarantors ) have agreed to jointly and severally guarantee performance of the Company’s obligations to the Trustee and the Note Holders under the Convertible Loan Facility, including payment of all debts and monetary liabilities of the Company to the Trustee or a Note Holder ( Guarantee ).

The Convertible Loan Facility is secured over the Company and all of the Company’s property pursuant to a general security deed granted by the Company in favour of the Trustee for the benefit of the Note Holders ( General Security Deed ) (the Security ). In addition, the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantee are secured by a mortgage granted by the Guarantors over the US Assets in favour of the Trustee ( Mortgage ).

1.2 Conditions to Issue of Convertible Notes

The issue of Convertible Notes under the Convertible Loan Facility was conditional on the Company providing the Trustee with evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of an executed agreement between the Company and Cimarex Energy Co. ( Cimarex ) extending the sublease of 3 of the Company's tenements to 1 May 2020 and effecting an additional payment by the Company to Cimarex of US$250,000 if the Company does not reach total depth in respect of the 3 wells by 1 May 2020.

6. DILUTION

6.1 General

Pursuant to the Convertible Loan Facility, Note Holders have the right to convert the Convertible Notes and any interest accrued to Shares at the Maturity Date.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the issued share capital of the Company is 1,668,335,412 Shares. The capital structure of the Company will be affected as a result of the issue of Shares where one or more Note Holders elects to convert part or all of their Convertible Notes and any interest accrued pursuant to the Convertible Loan Facility.

The actual effect on the capital structure of the Company will depend on the number of Convertible Notes and the amount of interest which Note Holders elect to convert.

6.2 Conversion of Tranche 1 Notes

Set out below is a worked example of the dilutionary effect to existing Shareholders in the event that either 100% or 75% or 50% or 25% of the full face

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM

STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.

If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

STEP 3 SIGN THE FORM

The form must be signed as follows: Individual: This form is to be signed by the securityholder.

Joint Holding : where the holding is in more than one name, all the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: to sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged it with the registry. Alternatively, attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form should be signed by that person. Please indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

STEP 4 LODGEMENT

To appoint a second proxy you must: (a) complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

(b) return both forms together in the same envelope.

STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY

To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.

Proxy which is a Body Corporate

Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from the company’s securities registry.

Proxy forms (and any Power of Attorney under which it is signed) must be received no later than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting, therefore by 12pm (Sydney Time) on Wednesday 18 December 2019. Any Proxy Form received after that time will not be valid for the scheduled meeting.
