ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
30 January 2015 by e-lodgement
DECEMBER 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 31 December 2014:
OPERATIONS – STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PROCESS
Agreement with BSP
On 27 November 2014 the Company announced the execution of a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Blue Sky Power Holdings Limited ( BSP ), whereby BSP would invest around A$6m into TNP to fund this year’s two well drilling program in China ( BSP Transaction ).
Tranche 1 Placement Completed
Subsequently, on 9 December 2014 Triple announced that the first tranche placement under the BSP Transaction had been completed, with the issue of 158,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares (subject to 12 months voluntary escrow) to BSP and the appointment of BSP Chairman, Mr Tommy Cheng, as Chairman. This placement raised A$790k in working capital and resulted in BSP holding 19.9% of TNP’s shares.
Loan Funds Advanced to Fund Pre-drill Activities
Triple also announced on 9 December that a further A$500k had been advanced by way of an interest-free loan from BSP to TNP’s wholly owned subsidiary to expedite pre-drill preparatory activities. Subject to approval of the BSP transaction by Shareholders, the loan is convertible in TNP shares at a price of A$0.006 per Share.
Tranche 2 Placement
A further A$1.25m was received from BSP after quarter-end to be held on trust pending completion of the underwritten portion of second tranche placement (to be conducted at A$0.006 per Share).
Drilling Contractor Arrangements
A further part of the BSP Transaction investment package (as previously announced) is the procurement by BSP of drilling services for the drilling of two wells at the Company’s Aolong project. The wells are to be drilled for a fixed price of US$2.75m, to be settled by Triple through the issue of (12 month escrowed) Triple shares at a price of $0.006 per Share. The necessary documentation is now well advanced and is expected to be settled shortly. Both BSP and TNP are planning for the wells to be drilled as soon as practicably possible which is likely to be around May 2015.

CORPORATE & FINANCIAL
As of 31 December 2014 the Group’s consolidated cash balance was A$1.218k, including funds held by the CJV in China but before creditors. After the quarter-end a further A$1.25m has been received from BSP into a share registry trust account to be held against BSP’s underwriting commitment for the second tranche placement. An ASX Appendix 5B for the quarter to 31 December 2014 accompanies this activities report.
The notice of shareholders meeting to consider the BSP Transaction (including experts reports) is in its final stages and it is expected that the Shareholders meeting will take place during March 2015.
Concurrent with the appointment of Mr Tommy Cheng to the Board of Triple, Triple announced the resignation of Mr Greg Meldrum as a Director. The Board wishes to thank Mr Meldrum for his service whilst a director and technical consultant at TNP.
Also, on 9 December 2014, the Company announced the execution of a Deed of Mutual Release (“Deed”) between the Company and vendors of CFT Heilongjiang (HK) Ltd (“CFT”) in respect of the issue of Performance Shares. The result of this is that no vendor shares were or will be issued pursuant to the Settlement Deed.
The vendors further provided Triple’s Chairman Mr Paul Underwood with a written letter of apology for certain statements made in the lead-up to the February 2014 Shareholders Meeting.

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.
