OPERATIONS UPDATE - BEAR RIVER PROJECT, ROUTT COUNTY, COLORADO, USA

MAIN POINTS

• Peltier 11-12 is still on production test
• Load oil and drilling fluid recovered
• Low inflow into the well bore

The directors of Comet Ridge Limited (ASX Code: COI) provide the following operational update for the Peltier 11-12 well drilled on the Bear River prospect in Routt County, Colorado, USA.

As of report time (3pm, 5 March Denver time - 7am, 6 March Perth time) the well was still on production test. Almost all of the load oil (oil pumped into the well bore to circulate out the drilling fluid) and the drilling fluid, left in the hole during the drilling and completion activities, have been recovered.

To this point the well has been operated in a manner that causes the pump to shut down when the down hole pressure falls to 400 psi. Minimal inflow into the well bore has occurred at this pressure level. Production testing will be continued at incrementally lower bottom hole pressures in attempt to initiate inflow into the well bore over the coming week.

Comet Ridge and partner Strike Oil Limited (ASX Code: STX) jointly funded the drilling of the Peltier well. All earning requirements on the Bear River prospect have been completed and both companies now own a 33.75% working interest

Yours sincerely

ANDREW LYDYARD Managing Director
