Greenvale Energy Limited

Quarterly Activities Report

June 2017

ASX Release 20 July 2017

Highlights

  • Review of the Company’s test work data on the Alpha torbanite oil shale shows a bitumen–based product mix is potentially the best economic option for development.

  • Plan to undertake a new Scoping study to review an open cut mining operation with development options concentrating on bitumen with activated carbon and fuel oil as additional products.

  • Company continues to explore acquisition opportunities.

Greenvale Energy Limited (ASX: GRV) is pleased to provide the following update on its activities for the June 2017 quarter (the “Quarter”):

Activities

As set out in its announcement dated 29 June 2017, during the quarter the Company undertook various studies in relation to its Alpha project. The key points that arose from this review were:

  • historical data shows that the Alpha torbanite (the richest oil shale known) can be refined to 59% asphaltines (bitumen) and 40% fuels (petrol, diesel and kerosene);

  • oil from Alpha torbanite has a significant fraction that could be a source of commercial bitumen. The study commissioned by Alpha showed retorting using CCI technology produced 2.5 barrels of bitumen per tonne of torbanite; and

  • studies will be undertaken to examine the potential of bitumen derived from the Alpha oil shale in the Central Queensland infrastructure development regional economy in the future and the use and sale of activated carbon products.

Based on the review undertaken, it is proposed to undertake a desktop scoping study that can examine these utilisation options in detail and encompass:

  • resource modelling with the new topography and Digital Terrain Model (DTM);

  • overall pit design, dump and drainage design options and potential mining schedule;

  • analysis of mining options and costs ; and

  • concentrate on the direct use of the rock as an industrial material and as a source of bitumen.

A review of the bitumen market shows a decline in prices over the last four years. However, it is anticipated that this trend will reverse.

Strategic direction and acquisitions

During the quarter, the Board continued to assets other potential opportunities. However, no decisions have been made in relation to any of those opportunities.
