Dear Madam,

REPORT ON ACTIVITIES FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMEBR 2012

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cooper Basin PEL 514 3D seismic survey data capture complete

  • Data processing commenced

  • Sydney and Gunnedah Basins PELs 468, 469 and 470 offered and accepted for renewal

Cooper Basin, South Australia

PEL 514 covers an area of 1,972 km² and is located in the Cooper Basin, South Australia.

During the quarter, the acquisition of 158.7 km² of 3D seismic data covering the Northern part of PEL 514 continued. This program forms part of a substantial seismic survey undertaken by joint venture partner Senex Energy Limited ('Senex') to identify the next generation of conventional oil and gas targets in its northern Cooper Basin permits including PEL 514.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the data capture program was completed and data processing has commenced. This will be followed by interpretation and drill planning.

This Northern part of PEL 514 is considered to contain stratigraphic and structural traps within the Birkhead Formation capable of hosting oil plays similar to those at the proven Growler and Snatcher oil fields to the southwest. Discoveries of oil within the neighbouring permits support the potential of the survey area.

The 3D seismic expenditure is part of Senex’s farm-in to PEL 514, and will include the drilling of three exploration wells funded by Senex totalling approximately $10.5 million.

Planet Gas and Senex participating interests after the farm-in has been completed will be 50:50 in the Northern area and 30:70 in the Southern area.

Leichhardt and the Company have accepted each offer for renewal.

In addition, the Government announced a series of positive new regulations for the coal seam gas industry allowing for the re-commencement of exploration for coal seam gas in the State.
