Dear Shareholder

EXTENSION TO PETRATHERM LTD SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

The Directors of Petratherm Ltd ( Company ) are pleased to announce an extension of time to the offer to shareholders for the opportunity to participate in its Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ). The SPP entitles eligible shareholders of the Company to purchase up to $15,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, free from all brokerage and commissions.

As previously announced the SPP opened at 9.00 am (Adelaide time) on 5 August 2011, with an anticipated closing date of 29 August 2011. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the SPP the Directors have chosen to extend the offer to a closing date of 5.00 pm (Adelaide time) on 12 September 2011.

Funds raised from the SPP will be applied to the preparatory work for the drilling of the Paralana 3 well at the Company’s flagship Paralana project in South Australia and for ongoing working capital. Specifically, funds will be applied to design the well, secure long lead time plant items and to secure a drilling rig slot.

I hope that the extension of the offer period for the SPP will assist you in giving favourable consideration to increasing your holding in and support for, the Company as we move towards the next stage of Paralana’s development.

Yours faithfully
