ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

31 October 2016 by e-lodgement

The Directors of Triple Energy Limited (ASX: TNP , Triple or Company ) are pleased to provide the following update on activities during and since the quarter to 30 September 2016.

Aolong JV Project in Heilongjiang

As previously disclosed, a Joint Venture meeting was held with the State Owned Joint Venture partner, Longmei Coal Mining Company in Harbin in late July 2016.

The joint venture partners are continuing to investigate measures to ensure closer cooperation in the Hegang area to minimize any future development conflicts as well as identifying other project areas suitable for gas production. Triple looks forward to further progress in this regard and working together with its joint venture partner in leveraging the data acquired from the three wells now drilled.

Shaanmei Project Areas and Other New Ventures

As advised during the quarter, Triple has been engaged with the Shaanxi Province State Owned Enterprise, Shaanmei Coal Mining Company (“Shaanmei”).

The Chairman and General Manager of Shaanmei made a visit to Perth in September to meet with Triple Board members and China based management to discuss this cooperation.

Shaanmei has extensive coal mining licensed areas in the Hangcheng area. The current objective is to develop an exclusive and long-term agreement to cover multiple coal seam gas project areas for future cooperation. Documentation has been drafted and Triple remains focussed on completing this long-term cooperation agreement in the near term and welcomes the ongoing constructive dialogue with Shaanmei. Negotiations for the previously reported “Tongchuan” part of this acreage where existing production was expected have been temporarily suspended. This was due to agreed production targets not being reached and after subsequent due diligence enquiries, it was established that these wells required working-over and or re-completing in certain circumstances to reach agreed production levels. Whilst this has caused delays, the Tongchuan acreage area represents only a very small part of the overall Shaanmei acreage under negotiation. Whilst TNP remains interested in the Tongchuan acreage because of its immediate production potential, until production can be established at agreed rates, this area has, for the time being been excised from negotiations. It is possible that this area will be later included.

Shaanmei Coal mining is aware of this and we await updates on the production performance

for the Tongchuan area..

Triple management is also engaged in meaningful discussions with the owners of other already producing asset interests and / or ready-to-develop oil and gas projects in China.

Corporate & Financial

As of 30 September 2016 the Group’s consolidated cash balance was A$805k, including funds held by the CJV in China but before creditors. An ASX Appendix 5B for the quarter accompanies this activities report.

About Triple Energy and its projects

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

NEW PROJECTS

As reported above, negotiations for an exclusive long-term agreement on coal mining areas owned by Shaanmei with immediate gas production potential remain the current focus.

However negotiations for the previously reported on “Tongchuan” part of this acreage where existing production was expected have been temporarily suspended. This was due to agreed production targets not being reached and after subsequent due diligence enquiries, it was established that these wells required working-over and or recompleting in certain circumstances to reach agreed production levels. Whilst this has caused delays, the Tongchuan acreage area represents only a very small part of the overall Shaanmei acreage under negotiation. Whilst TNP remains interested in the Tongchuan acreage because of its immediate production potential, until production can be established at agreed rates, this area has been excised from negotiations. It is possible that this area will be later included.

Shaanmei Coal mining is aware of this and we await updates on the production performance fro the Tongchuan area..

EXISTING PROJECT

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;

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 has now drilled three wells, one in 2013 and two in 2015.
