Quarterly Report For the period ended 30 June 2018

NKEMBE BLOCK, OFFSHORE GABON (PURA VIDA 100%[1] AND OPERATOR)

The Nkembe block covers an area of 1,210 km² in water depths of 50-1,100 metres approximately 30 km off the coast of Gabon ( Figure 1 ).

Figure 1 – Shallow water area of the Nkembe block and prospects

Pura Vida Energy NL ( Pura Vida or Company ) made a submission to the Director General of Hydrocarbons ( DGH ) reiterating its position that the DGH has no basis to terminate the Nkembe Production Sharing Contract ( PSC ). The Company made an additional force majeure claim from 1 April 2018, suspending all financial obligations on the block. The force majeure claim is in addition to the initial force majeure claim relating to the late issue of the Nkembe PSC. The Company is still yet to receive any response to the two submissions made to the DGH in March and April 2018.

Pura Vida has committed substantial investment over a number of years in Gabon, including a US$9,000,000 signing bonus paid in January 2013 and accordingly has reserved all its rights in relation to the Nkembe PSC including the right to seek recovery of the signing bonus. The Company continues to work with its advisers to seek a resolution in relation to its investment in Gabon.

1 PVD’s interest is subject to the right of the State of Gabon to participate in any development for up to a 20% interest under the Nkembe PSC

AMBILOBE BLOCK, OFFSHORE MADAGASCAR (PURA VIDA 100% AND OPERATOR)

The Ambilobe block is located in the Ambilobe Basin, offshore north-west Madagascar covering an area of 17,650 km² ( Figure 2 ).

No work was completed on Ambilobe during the quarter other than preparations to relinquish a portion of the block as required by the terms of the Ambilobe Production Sharing Contract ( PSC ). Once the application to relinquish has been processed, the Company expects to make the annual surface payment for the reduced area of the Ambilobe block.

Subject to completing the relinquishment exercise, the Company will re-visit with parties that have expressed an interest in Ambilobe in order to progress the technical work required to generate drill targets.

CORPORATE & FINANCIAL

During the quarter, Mr Simon Eley resigned from the board of the Company. Mr Bevan Tarratt was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman and Mr Bruce Lane was appointed as a Non-Executive Director.

Closing cash at the end of the quarter was AU$8.9 million.

The Company has continued to assess a variety of opportunities in Australia and overseas in order to create value for shareholders. The board will update the market in this regard as required. At the same time, the Company has implemented further measures to reduce corporate and administrative costs in order to preserve capital.
