ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

31 October 2018 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 2018.

Xin 214 Project - Songyuan

On 10 September 2018, the Company announced it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Guangzhou Bofu Investment Co. Ltd (GBIC), which intends to acquire an 80% interest in Songyuan Petroleum Development Co. Ltd (SPDC), which in turn has the right to derive income from the development of 4 oil blocks in Songyuan City, Jilin Province in the PRC.

The terms of the MoU provides for an initial period of approximately 6 months (unless extended) and contemplates that the parties will negotiate a transaction whereby Triple indirectly or directly acquires GBIC, thereby obtaining the right to derive income from the above-mentioned oil blocks. MoUs of this type are commonly used in the PRC as a precursor to more formal documentation. Triple is continuing to progress negotiations and is undertaking due diligence on the project.

There are understood to be hydrocarbon quantities associated with the exploration areas based on existing wells and, subject to being able to agree terms, the Company intends to engage a suitably qualified reserves evaluator to undertake a review of the relevant technical information to produce an SPE-PRMS compliant report.

Aolong JV Project in Heilongjiang

Exploration activity during the quarter remained focused on the evaluation of regional technical studies to evaluate the prospectivity of the Hegang project area as well as other areas to which the Aolong Co-operative Joint Venture ( CJV ) holds contractual rights to acquire interests (as previously disclosed) under any potential future extension or variation of the CJV area. As an essential pre-cursor to any further on-ground exploration activities, the joint venture partners continue to discuss necessary measures for closer cooperation, to minimize any future development conflicts as well as identifying other project areas suitable for gas production, having regard to the geological complexities apparent in the project area. Work is ongoing to identify, rank and work-up potential sites for future drilling (subject to funding and the successful outcome of joint venture discussions).

Shaanmei Project Areas (Triple Project Interest – 80%)

As previously announced, a cooperation agreement ( Agreement ) with Shaanxi Province Coal Bed Methane Exploitation and Utilization Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Shaanmei Coal Mining Company ( Shaanmei ) was terminated during the quarter.

The Agreement was in the form of production sharing for Coal Bed Methane Drainage of three linked areas in Wangfeng and Sangshuping Mining Areas in Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. Under the Agreement terms Triple was required to provide RMB5,000,000 (~A$1,000,000) as a performance surety. TNP’s largest shareholder,
 BGBS arranged and advanced this funding in support of TNP, with the funding initially in the form of a renewable loan facility.

Technical evaluation indicated that coal quality is soft, mostly pulverised coal, able to support fracturing only for a short period, such that commercial production is difficult to achieve using conventional vertical and fracturing drainage. Having regard to this, the Triple Board resolved during the quarter to endorse termination of the Agreement without financial penalty. Triple has agreed with BGBS that the RMB 5,000,000 loan advanced to the project will not be repayable by Triple or any of its subsidiaries.

Corporate & Financial

On 30 August 2018, the Company announced a fully underwritten, non-renounceable entitlements offer of 2 fully paid new shares for each 3 existing shares held at the record date. The new shares are offered at 2.2c per share, approximately a 4% discount to current market value, to raise up to $633,565 before costs.

The rights issue closed on 24 October 2018. Valid rights issue acceptances and shortfall offer subscriptions from eligible shareholders were received in respect of 5,185,652 shares ( New Shares ), raising $114,084. Allotment and issue of the New Shares took place on Tuesday 30 October 2018.

The remaining shortfall of 23,612,770 shares ( Shortfall Shares ) is fully underwritten by HKbased CIS Securities Asset Management Limited. New shares will be allotted and issued to the underwriter in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and it is expected that this will occur in the next week.

Triple staff in Australia, HK and PRC, including and supported by BGBS employees, continue to work actively on the evaluation of other potential new projects consistent with the Company’s strategy.

As of 30 September 2018 the Group’s consolidated cash balance was A$109k, including funds held by the Aolong CJV in China and prior to receipt of any entitlement issue proceeds. As previously disclosed, Triple continues to have the benefit of financial, strategic and operational support from BGBS and its management in continuing its operations and meet its business objectives.

An ASX Appendix 5B for the quarter accompanies this activities report.
