OPTION TO SELL TIPTON WEST ROYALTY

  • Comet Ridge agrees to sell Tipton West royalty for \$3 million
  • Proceeds to be invested in high impact US projects

Comet Ridge Limited (ASX Code: COI) today announces an agreement. via an option letter, to sell its royalty over gas sales from the Tipton West field and associated permits in south-east Queensland to Pure Energy Resources Limited for AUD\$3.0 million

The option, which is subject to normal due diligence, is to be exercised by June 29, 2007.

The \$3 million cash consideration represents the fair value of forecasted royalty payments which are capped at \$8 million. Based on current contracted sales volumes it will take many years to receive the full \$8 million.

Realising the royalty value upfront is consistent with the Company's strategy of focusing its capital resources on high impact projects. Proceeds from the option exercise will be redeployed to advance exploration activities on the Company's projects in the USA.

The immediate focus is to advance the Gray's Harbor and Cedar Creek/Vader projects in the Pacific Northwest and the Tow Creek, Bear River and Florence prospects in the Rockies.
