ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

31 July 2014 by e-lodgement

JUNE QUARTER 2014 ACTIVITIES REPORT

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

Highlights

  • 2014 Drilling contract ready for execution

  • Strategic Investment process making good progress

OPERATIONS

Drilling Programme and Contracting

Management has now received approval for the two well locations from LongMay Coal Mining Company. The sites were required to be located such that the optimum coal seam intersections are tested but will not interfere with future coal mining activities.

The detailed terms, scope of works and pricing for the services contract to drill these two wells is now finalised and a contract will be executed in the near term, subject to funding being in place. A fixed price contract has been negotiated such that each well is drilled, cored, drill stem tested, fracced and then pilot tested for at least six months. The programme is agreed at a budget of around $4 million including expat consultants and expert technology services.

As previously advised, this programme should position the Company to be able to book a resource/reserve and establish pilot production from 2 x wells in the initial Hegang area.

Providing funding is forthcoming, the Board is now planning for drilling to start in September 2014 using two rigs simultaneously. The selected drilling contractor has advised that the rigs to be used this year can be winterised such that drilling, coring and drill stem testing can continue through winter, if required, as is the practice with oil and gas operations in other cold locations such as Canada.

Strategic Investor Progress

Triple remains engaged with potential investors to secure funding for the 2014 program. The Board is optimistic that funding will be available in the near term.

CORPORATE & FINANCIAL

As of 30 June 2014 the Group’s consolidated cash balance was $510,000, including funds held by the CJV in China but before creditors. An ASX Appendix 5B for the quarter to 30 June 2014 accompanies this activities report.

The Company’s 2014 Annual General Meeting will be held on 29 August 2014.

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

  • 36.8 meters of gassy coal seams at Seam # 11 and below

In addition to the above securities, the Company has 250,000,000 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.
125,000,000 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.
