ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

31 October 2014 by e-lodgement

SEPTEMBER QUARTER 2014 ACTIVITIES REPORT

The Directors of Triple Energy Limited (ASX: TNP, Triple or Company ) provide the following update on activities during and since the quarter ended 30 September 2014:

OPERATIONS

Strategic Investment Process

On 13 August 2014 the Company announced that it had entered in an MoU with Blue Sky Power Holdings Limited ( BSP ), whereby BSP would invest to fund Triple’s 2-well drilling program at its Aolong JV Project as part of its overall gas strategy in China. An initial nonrefundable exclusivity fee of US$200,000 was received by TNP at the time of signing the MoU and Triple subsequently advised on 28 August 2014 that BSP had confirmed it was satisfied with its Due Diligence and that the proposed funding transaction was no longer subject to Due Diligence.

On 13 October 2014, Triple confirmed that the process remained on track, and that both parties were working co-operatively towards conclusion of the process and finalisation of the documentation. As disclosed in that announcement, Triple and BSP have been in discussions regarding potential amendments to the transaction. Proposed variations include a potential strategic partnership with a China-based CBM drilling services company introduced and negotiated by BSP. This may offer a better overall solution for the drilling programme with discussions including the drilling being partly funded by shares in Triple. Triple’s Chairman met with BSP and this drilling company this week in Hong Kong and China. The negotiations with this drilling company are as yet incomplete. The Chairman of BSP has reiterated his intention to complete this transaction as soon as possible and in particular as soon as negotiations with the drilling company are concluded. Despite these delays, the Triple Board is supportive of this development if it is in all parties’ interests and continues to work with BSP to conclude the overall transaction as soon as possible.

Subsequent to quarter end a further US$300k was received from BSP as a deposit to be applied towards an initial placement of shares under the strategic investment process.

CORPORATE & FINANCIAL

As of 30 September 2014 the Group’s consolidated cash balance was $397k, including funds held by the CJV in China but before creditors and this has since been augmented by the payment of US$300k mentioned above. An ASX Appendix 5B for the quarter to 30 September 2014 accompanies this activities report.

The Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting was held on 29 August 2014 at which all resolutions were passed without amendment.

About Triple Energy and the Aolong Joint Venture project

Triple Energy Limited is an Australian registered Oil & Gas exploration company listed on ASX. Triple Energy’s ordinary shares trade under the code TNP.

Triple Energy holds an 80% interest in a Cooperative Joint Venture ( CJV , known as Aolong Energy) with LongMay Coal Mining Company ( Longmay ), one of China’s largest State-owned coal mining companies. The CJV has the objective of degassing the coal mining leases held by Longmay and has a life of 45 years.

The equity in the CJV with Longmay is as follows;

Triple Energy Ltd* - 80% (Operator) LongMay Coal Mining Company – 20%

*via its wholly-owned Hong Kong registered subsidiary CFT Heilongjiang (HK) Limited

The CJV operates pursuant to the coal mining leases held by Longmay with the Joint Venture Agreement registered with the relevant Chinese Government authorities. The CJV is staged, with exclusive access that can ultimately extend the CJV area to cover up to a total of 42 mine areas.

The CJV was formed such that the coals identified for future underground mining by Longmay can be de-gassed and hence facilitate safer mining operations in the future. The coals in the respective lease areas have a history of explosions and fires whilst mining and core drilling, due to high gas content.

Approximate Location of CJV areas

The recently drilled Xian Xian-1 well intersected;

  • A total of 63.4 meters of coal seams

  • 47.2 meters of coal seams with a thickness of > 2 meters per seam

In addition to the above securities, the Company has 125,000,000 Performance Shares on issue as consideration for the acquisition of CFT Heilongjiang (HK) Limited. The Performance Shares were issued in four tranches as follows:

Expired Tranche 1 Performance Shares
Vesting upon successful data acquisition from the near term drill stem test well on the
CFT CBM Project, such data establishing flow and pressure build-up information
demonstrating reservoir permeabilities interpreted to provide commercial gas flow
rate estimates and gas composition information to enable the experts report to be
completed to confirm recoverable gas estimates. The Tranche 1 Performance Shares
expire 9 months from the date of issue.
Expired Tranche 2 Performance Shares
Vesting upon the drilling and coring of two pressurised core wells on the CFT CBM
Project testing for gas saturation and desorption isotherms and drill stem tests, which
confirm sufficient long term gas flow rates to support a financial investment decision
to commence a commercial development of a meaningful gas production operation
(i.e. 20 well development with a forecast production rate of not less than 10MMscf/d),
together with all regulatory approvals. The Tranche 2 Performance Shares expire 12
months from the date of issue.
Expired Tranche 3 Performance Shares
Vesting upon the completion of 10 development wells having been drilled and
completed on the CFT CBM Project or the completion of an alternative development
well drill programme which the parties have agreed, which independent engineers
prognose will deliver an equivalent or better economic development outcome at a
similar cost as a 10 well programme producing not less than 5 mmscf/day. The
Tranche 3 Performance expire 18 months from the date of issue (unless otherwise
extended).
125,000,000 Tranche 4 Performance Shares
Vesting upon the completion of 20 development wells having been drilled and
completed on the CFT CBM Project or the completion of an alternative development
well drill programme which the parties have agreed, which independent engineers
prognose will deliver an equivalent or better economic development outcome at a
similar cost as a 20 well programme producing not less than 10 mmscf/day. The
Tranche 4 Performance Shares expire 24 months from the date of issue (unless
otherwise extended).

None of the milestones triggering conversion have occurred as at the date of this report.
