CLEAN ENERGY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Quarterly Report 30 September 2013

Quarter one highlights

Paralana

• › Focus was on unlocking the $13 million Emerging Renewables Program grant by meeting the conditions precedent to restart the Paralana Geothermal Project in 2014.

Tasmania

• › The Company applied for a large Petroleum Licence north of Hobart to investigate for shale oil and gas.

Spain - Tenerife

• › In discussions on joint venture arrangements with a major Spanish energy company for the Tenerife geothermal project.

• › A 3D magneto-telluric (MT) survey has defined a geothermal target on the southern slopes of Teide Volcano, Tenerife, in an area suitable for development.

Review of Operations

Quarterly exploration and evaluation expenditure amounted to $55,000 and included costs associated with the Paralana and Tenerife projects.

The Company had ongoing administration costs of $289,000 during the quarter.

At the end of the reporting period the Company held $542,000 in cash.

Previously in June, the Company advised it had been awarded a $13 million grant by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to fund approximately half of the next critical stage of works at Paralana. There are two conditions to this grant to the restart of deep drilling and subsurface development works at Paralana. The first being a firm commitment assurance from our JV partner Beach Energy to fund its 21% equity share, which has been obtained. Secondly, that Petratherm secures an additional $5 million in equity either from the market or through introducing an additional joint venture partner to the project. During the quarter, the Company’s primary focus continued on resolving these funding matters to enable the project to proceed as soon as practicable.

Post the reporting period, the Company announced a capital raising by way of a nonrenounceable pro rata rights issue at an issue price of $0.01 per new share on the basis of one new share for every one ordinary share held. Under this offer, a maximum of 177,067,166 shares will be issued to raise up to $1,770,672. Funds raised from the rights issue will be used to pay for the costs of the rights issue, funding new project acquisitions or joint ventures, funding advancement of the Paralana Project and for working capital purposes. The rights issue is partially underwritten by Taylor Collison Ltd to the extent of $600,000.

Projects

Paralana

During the period, no further ground works were undertaken, whilst the Company seeks to finalise funding arrangements for the next critical stage of works. These works are currently scheduled to begin, subject to funding, in early 2014 and will see the completion of a circulation doublet, aimed at producing a commercial rate of energy extraction. If a sustainable high production flow rate can be achieved, then the new 3.5 MW organic rankine cycle (ORC) power plant is to be installed.

Subsequently, the connection of the new 3.5 MW plant to the local customer, Beverley Uranium Mine, will occur via a 11km underground 33kV transmission line. This second phase of work is subject to the Commonwealth Government Renewable Energy Development Program (REDP) grant, which will provide funds on a $1 for every $2 spent basis.

The project has been fully budgeted and financial modeling shows this initial development will be commercially viable inclusive of grants.

Tasmania - Shale Oil & Gas

In July, Petratherm advised that its wholly owned subsidiary, PetraGas Ltd, had applied for a Petroleum Exploration Licence (EL3/2013) covering approximately 3,900 square kilometres, north of Hobart in central Tasmania (refer Figure 1).

Tenerife

Processing of an extensive magneto-telluric (MT) survey undertaken to principally define the Vilaflor MT anomaly on the southern slopes of the Tiede Volcano earlier in the year is close to completion. The work has been undertaken by the University of Barcelona working with Petratherm, and is largely funded by the €1.7 million Geothercan project.

The tenement application covers part of the petroleum-bearing Tasmania Basin, which is prospective for both conventional and unconventional oil and gas.

This decision by Petratherm to extend into petroleum exploration leverages our core areas of expertise that include basin geology and deep drilling (developed from working on engineered geothermal systems) and our knowledge of the Australian electricity and gas markets.

3D visual modeling demonstrates a thinning and doming of a conductive layer representing the clay cap alteration zone of a geothermal system at Vilaflor. These results are highly encouraging, defining a direct drill target. The modeling work suggests a well drilled to 2000m depth will penetrate through the clay alteration cap and into the top of the potential geothermal system.

The licence straddles the Tasmanian gas pipeline which runs between Hobart and eastern mainland Victoria, allowing potential access to major gas markets (refer Figure 1). The area is a greenfields play and the first year’s work will be largely a desktop study assessing historical data to determine its prospectivity.

The Company is in joint venture discussions with a large Spanish energy company to secure funding to drill test this feature.

Figure 2 - West to East resistivity cross-section of the Vilaflor Anomaly, Tenerife. The orange and red colours delineate the extent of the hydrothermal clay alteration cap. It is postulated from geochemical analysis of active fumaroles on the island that a liquid dominated geothermal system with temperatures up to 240°C may still be in place below the clay cap.
