JUNE QUARTER 2015 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 June 2015:

OPERATIONS – STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Niaoshan-1 coal gas well in the Bird Mountain area was spudded on 29 June 2015.

The well is located around 2 kilometers from the previous Xian Xian-1 well drilled by the Joint Venture in 2013 and is targeting several major coal seams for intersection which will be cored for desorption analysis and tested.

This well is planned to be drilled to a depth of approximately 1,300 metres. The first of up to four coal seams is prognosed to be intersected at around 850 meters subject to faults occurring as interpreted. As of the date of this report the well was at 605 metres (measured depth) and was drilling ahead.

This well is planned to intersect up to four coal seams and depending on results, one or more seams will be cored for desorption analysis to establish gas content and reservoir performance, fracced and tested. The well is also planned to be production tested for six months post completion.

This is a comprehensive drilling and evaluation programme and on completion, the data acquired should position the Joint Venture to be able to make an estimate of resources and in the success case, prepare a development plan.

The second well for the 2015 campaign is planned follow with the same rig in the Yishin area once operations at Niaoshan-1 are complete. A similar drilling and evaluation programme is planned for this well.

Triple is also evaluating other project opportunities in China including the Jixi area which is included in the Aolong JV exclusive option areas.

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.
