Cliff Head Operating Margin

Cliff Head 7 ( CH7) well intervention workover proceeded as planned and completed during the quarter. On 1 December 2020, CH7 was brought back to production while the Cliff Head 6 ( CH6 ) workover has been temporarily suspended pending the determination of a suitable solution to retrieve the old Electric Submersible Pump ( ESP ).

Operations at Cliff Head (routine and non-routine) continued to spend below budget. With the additional production from CH7 in December 2020 and the improving oil price, the Company managed to improve its financial performance compared to last quarter.

CH6 and CH7 Workover Campaign

On 26 October 2020, the Company was pleased to provide an update on its Cliff Head Operations in respect of the commencement of CH6 and CH7 workover campaign.

On Sunday, 25 October 2020, the Hydraulic Workover Unit ( HWU ) arrived at the Cliff Head Alpha Platform ( CHA ) from Fremantle marking the start of the CH6 and CH7 workover campaign. Over the coming months the ESP system on both wells will be replaced, enabling the production from these wells to be restarted by year-end 2020.

As previously announced, the CH6 and CH7 wells were shut in since June this year. On 1 December 2020 the Company was pleased to advise that the CH7 well at the Cliff Head Oil Field (Cliff Head) returned to production on the afternoon of 28 November 2020.

Operations returned after a successful Workover Programme ( Workover ) which included the installation of a new, downhole ESP and was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

Production has stabilised at approximately 220 bopd, and as at 31 December 2020 the field total production to approximately 800 bopd.

The successful resumption of production on the CH7 well revalidates the Company’s decision in 2019 to move to the HWU alternative system for safe and lower cost operations, ESP design and replacement.

On this date, the Company also took the opportunity to update shareholders on the CH6 Workover, which commenced concurrently with the CH7 Workover. This Workover has been temporarily suspended after initial attempts to retrieve the old ESP were unsuccessful. The failed ESP had been in production for over ten years. This exceptional runlife is a testament to the operation of the well and the Cliff Head field from the Triangle team in Dongara.

This pause in operations enables the Company to progress with contingency planning without incurring any standby costs. The target date for resumption of workover activities for CH6, under the current contracting agreements, is anticipated to be Q1 2021.

The Company looks forward to keeping shareholders updated on the campaign’s progress.

BP Kwinana Refinery Conversion

On 30 October 2020, BP announced its intention to cease fuel production at its Kwinana Refinery and convert the refinery into a fuel import terminal.

Triangle continues to deliver crude oil produced at its Cliff Head Oil Project in the Perth Basin to the BP Kwinana Refinery under a Crude Oil Supply Agreement (Supply Agreement).

Triangle has investigated several export and domestic markets for its product in the past and will continue these efforts in parallel with government policy measures aimed at protecting Australia’s domestic refining capability. Triangle shares the concerns voiced by the Western Australian and Federal governments and believes ongoing refining capability is vital for the nation’s future energy security.

On 29 October 2020, the Company announced an updated Reserves and Resources summary for the Cliff Head Field. The impact of the cessation of production at the Refinery and the need to transition to an alternate opportunity on the economic parameters underpinning these Reserves and Resources is still unknown at this time.

Accordingly, the Company withdrew its Reserves and Resources statements while the position is confirmed. The Company will release an update once the underlying economic assumptions can be confirmed with a reasonable degree of certainty. On 4 January 2021, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced that it had received formal notice of termination from BP under the Crude Oil Supply Agreement with the termination effective date being 16 February 2021.

The Cliff Head Oil Field will continue to produce and deliver its product to the BP refinery in Kwinana until this time and the Company is continuing discussions with crude oil marketing firms regarding offtake alternatives available to the Company.

The Company is continuing to assess the alternate opportunities which may be available once production at the Kwinana Refinery ceases.

WA-481-P

Acquisition of 78.75% of WA-481-P and Formation of Joint Venture

On 9 November 2020, the Company was pleased to advise it had entered into an agreement with Pilot Energy Limited (Pilot) to acquire a 78.75% interest in offshore Perth Basin exploration permit WA-481-P covering 8,605km2. WA-481-P is located immediately adjacent to, and contiguous with, the Triangle owned and operated offshore Cliff Head Oil

Field. Pilot is currently the 60% owner and operator of offshore Exploration Permit WA-481-P and has entered into definitive agreements to acquire the remaining 40% interest from Key Petroleum Limited (ASX:KEY), subject to Pilot shareholder approval.

Upon Completion of the acquisition of Key's 40% interest, Pilot will hold a 100% interest in WA-481-P.

Triangle has entered into a binding agreement with Pilot to acquire a 78.75% interest in, and operatorship of, WA481-P, with Pilot retaining a 21.25% non-operated working interest in the permit. This transaction is conditional on Pilot acquiring Key's 40% interest in WA481-P and Pilot and Triangle agreeing

(i) a revised joint operating agreement in respect of WA481-P;

(ii) a joint operating agreement in respect of the Cliff Head Wind & Solar Project Joint Venture; and

(iii) access agreements in respect of the Cliff Head and Arrowsmith infrastructure and operations on the area of WA-481-P. The transfer of WA-481-P is subject to standard regulatory approvals.

The cut-off date to agree these documents and for the WA-481-P transaction to complete is 15 March 2021 (or as otherwise agreed). As consideration for the acquisition, Triangle will:

  • Pay Pilot $300,000 at completion; and

  • Carry Pilot’s 21.25% share of costs for the first 3 years of the WA-481-P minimum work program (up to a maximum of $1.22 million based on the current minimum work program).

Triangle is majority owner and operator of the Cliff Head Oil Field (located in the Offshore Production Licence WA-31-L) and the onshore Arrowsmith Separation and Processing Facilities. As previously announced to ASX on 25 September 2020, Pilot has entered into definitive agreements to acquire Royal Energy Pty Ltd, which holds an effective 21.25% interest in the Cliff Head Oil Field through its ownership of 50% interest in Triangle Energy Operations Pty Ltd (TEO), the operator and owner of 42.5% joint venture interest in the Cliff Head Oil Field.

Upon completion of the sale of the majority 78.75% interest in and transfer of operatorship of WA-481-P, Pilot and Triangle will have created substantial alignment through the newly created WA-481-P Joint Venture and the existing Cliff Head Oil

4

==> picture [596 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

Field Joint Venture (in which Pilot will acquire an effective 21.25% interest upon the completion of the Royal Energy Acquisition).

Triangle has agreed that Pilot’s share in any oil and gas discoveries in WA-481-P will be developed and produced through the Cliff Head Oil Field facilities and that Pilot will have access to these facilities on the same basis as Triangle (subject to market standard terms).

The WA-481-P permit contains numerous leads and prospects located within close proximity to the Cliff Head Alpha Production Platform. As part of the definitive agreement to acquire the majority interest in WA-481-P, Triangle has also agreed that the work program to be conducted in the permit will be directed in the defined area around Cliff Head covering these numerous previously identified leads and prospects.

Triangle’s initial focus in WA-481-P will be on the prospectivity west and south of Cliff Head field. This area is considered highly prospective for oil as evidenced by Cliff Head oil field and the Xanadu oil discovery. Several leads are mapped in this area which require further definition with seismic acquisition. Any discovery that could arise from these leads could potentially be developed through the Cliff Head infrastructure.

The wider WA-481-P area is also highly prospective for oil and gas. Triangle will evaluate and develop the greenfield exploration potential of this very large permit which lies on the eastern margin of the Abrolhos Sub-basin, a proven source kitchen. Development of the Dunsborough oil and gas discovery with also be further investigated. Triangle and Pilot will enter into a conventional offshore oil and gas joint operating agreement covering the establishment of the joint venture managing the permit and the operatorship of the permit with Triangle as the operator. Under these arrangements, Pilot will be designated the operator’s representative in connection with all matters relating to the interface with any potential offshore wind development affecting the WA-481-P permit area.

Cliff Head Wind and Solar Project Joint Venture

In addition to and in parallel with the sale of the majority interest in WA-481-P, Triangle and Pilot have also agreed to form the Cliff Head Wind and Solar Project Joint Venture (Wind & Solar JV) with Pilot owning 80% and Triangle 20% (subject to agreeing the terms of a joint operating agreement and the WA-481-Ptransaction completing).

The Wind & Solar JV will assess the feasibility of the development of an offshore wind and onshore wind and solar power project centred around the Cliff Head Offshore Oil Field production facilities, Cliff Head Alpha and the onshore Arrowsmith Separation and Processing Facilities, encompassing:

  • taking advantage of well-recognised, world-class wind and solar resources of Western Australia’s Mid-West Region.

  • multi-tasking the existing Cliff Head Oil Field offshore and onshore facilities to improve their utilisation and extend their life.

  • Triangle and Pilot negotiating an access and coordination agreement to establish the basis for providing accessing to the existing Cliff Head Alpha Platform, the offshore/onshore pipeline right of way from the platform and to the onshore Arrowsmith Separation and Processing Facilities; and

  • Pilot carrying Triangle’s costs in conducting the feasibility study for the development of the wind and solar power project.

Cliff Head Renewal Project

Three attractive drilling opportunities that could be drilled and developed from the Cliff Head platform and are technically mature and economically justified for drilling were developed from the previously completed Cliff Head Renewal Project ( CHRP ), the South-East Nose development, West High appraisal/development and Mentelle Updip exploration prospect. The results of this work were announced on 23 April 2020. If these opportunities are successful, it could materially extend the life of the Cliff Head oil field.

Farmout Campaign and Commencement of Well Planning

During the quarter, the Company commenced a farmout campaign on behalf of the Cliff Head Joint Venture, to seek interested parties to participate in the drilling of West High, Mentelle and/or SE Nose. A number of companies were approached with several still evaluating the opportunity.

The company has also commenced well planning for SE Nose, West High and Mentelle Updip targeting a drilling campaign during the first half of 2022. The well planning is moving into the detailed design phase to meet a 2022 drilling timetable.

Cliff Head Field, Prospects and Leads

TP/15 Xanadu-1 JV (45%)

TP/15 hosts the Xanadu oil discovery within the large Xanadu structure. Although the reservoir quality is less than optimal, the discovery of oil in the Xanadu-1 well is positive in so far as it demonstrates an oil charge to and moveable oil within TP/15. The Company also expects reservoir quality to improve west of the Xanadu structure.

Significant exploration potential remains in TP/15 with the West Xanadu and in the Texel leads, located some 10km to the southwest of Xanadu. Texel is a Permian oil play, targeting the High Cliff Sandstone which hosts the prolific gas discoveries onshore, on the other side of the Beagle Ridge. Additional oil potential exists in the Dongara Sandstone and Irwin River Coal Measures, the latter being the reservoir at the Cliff Head oil field.

Additional seismic coverage is required to progress Texel and West Xanadu to drillable status. The company is actively reviewing the opportunity to cost effectively combine seismic acquisition in TP/15 along with data acquisition in the adjacent WA-481-P to mature these leads for drilling.

TP/15 Prospects and Leads

Farmout Agreement with Key Petroleum Limited for Mt Horner Production Licence L7(R1) (TEG 50%)

Subsequent to the end of the quarter on 29 January 2021, the Board of Directors was pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement ( Agreement ) and Royalty Deed ( Royalty Deed ) with subsidiaries of Key Petroleum Limited (ASX: KEY ) to acquire Key Petroleum (Australia) Pty Ltd's ( Key Petroleum ) 50% participating interest in Production Licence L7(R1) ( L7 ) and Key Petroleum and Key Midwest Pty Ltd’s (Key Midwest) combined 86.94% interest in Exploration Permit EP 437 (EP 437 ) (together, the Acquisition ). A wholly owned subsidiary of Triangle will hold the relevant interests acquired under the Agreement and Pilot Energy Limited ( Pilot ) holds the remaining 13.06% interest in EP 437.

Summary of the key terms of the Agreement and Royalty Deed

Completion of the Agreement is conditional on usual regulatory approvals, execution of a deed of covenant in respect of the EP 437 JOA, Triangle receiving binding commitments for a capital raising of at least $1,000,000 and, if required, Key obtaining the approval of its shareholders under Chapter 11 of the ASX Listing Rules for the Key subsidiaries to sell its interests in these assets. Under the terms of the Agreement:

  • Triangle will pay to Key a cash consideration of A$600,000 ($A200,000 of which is payable as a non-refundable deposit, unless Key does not obtain shareholder approval), any outstanding cash calls in respect of L7 based on

7

==> picture [596 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

an agreed work program and budget plus a 5% gross overriding royalty payable on production from L7 and EP 437;

  • subject to Completion occurring, the existing Farmout Agreement between Triangle and Key in relation to the L7 licence at Mt Horner, the execution of which was announced on 31 October 2018, will terminate and the parties will release each other from all claims and liabilities in respect of L7 and the Farmout Agreement, except in relation to certain rehabilitation work undertaken by Key Petroleum prior to execution of the Agreement, including any disputes in respect of the Farmout Agreement (refer announcement by TEG on 4 August 2020); and

  • TEG is guaranteeing the performance by the Triangle subsidiary acquiring the interest under the Agreement and the Royalty Deed.

Triangle has agreed to assume all of Key’s ongoing work program commitments within EP 437, which now requires the acquisition of 20 square kilometres of 3D seismic and the drilling of one well prior to the end of Year 3 of the permit term on 27 May 2022 with a second discretionary well due by the end of the permit term on 22 May 2023. The terms of the original Farmout Agreement for L7 are removed, allowing Triangle to acquire a much larger 3D survey across the area, which will also tie into the existing Irwin 3D survey to the south and extend into EP 437 to the west. The primary aim of the larger 3D is to provide a near complete coverage of the Bookara Shelf hydrocarbon fairway. The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement require Triangle to assume all ongoing liabilities associated with L7 and EP 437 upon completion of the sale.

During the Quarter planning activities were undertaken for the Bookara 3D Seismic Survey, with the Survey to be conducted in 2021 as part of the agreed Farmin Work Program under the Farmout Agreement signed on 31 October 2018, to be funded by Triangle Energy (Global) Limited.

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter activities commenced including, survey design, Botanical Survey, and high-resolution aerial photo survey as part of the environmental approvals. Stakeholder engagement pertaining to access is also well underway.

INVESTMENTS

State Gas Limited (ASX: GAS)

Triangle is the major shareholder of State Gas Limited ( State Gas ) (ASX: GAS ) with an interest of 27.67% (as at the date of this report), the investment is equivalent to AU$27.77 million in value at AU$0.58 (as at 28 January 2021) per State Gas share.

The following developments occurred during the quarter ending 31 December 2020:

  • On 1 October 2020, State Gas announced it is well-positioned to commence Phase 2 drilling by mid-November 2020. The Phase 2 campaign will obtain additional data to secure a significant certified reserves booking and enable field development planning and infrastructure design for early commercialisation of the Nyanda area. Phase 2 of the program will involve drilling and production testing of at least four step out wells from Nyanda-4, with the possibility of two optional additional wells to further delineate gas resources across PL 231.

  • State Gas has undertaken a planning for an initial gas well to be drilled within new acreage awarded to the Company in the recent Queensland Petroleum Land Release – proposed Authority to Prospect 2062, (“Rolleston-West”). The proposed well, to be named Rougemont-1, will investigate the highly-prospective and well-understood Bandanna coals in the eastern region of the acreage. The Rougemount-1 well will facilitate down-hole logging to determine coal thickness and depth of seams, along with permeability testing of seams. The proposed Rougemount-1 will be strategically located within Rolleston-West to be close to State Gas’ proposed northern route option for the export pipeline from PL 231 (Reid’s Dome)

  • On 15 December 2020, the first well (Nyanda-7) in its Phase 2 exploration and appraisal program for the Reid’s Dome Gas Project (PL 231) was spudded. The Nyanda-7 well is part of State Gas’ 100% owned Reid’s Dome Gas Project on PL231. Approximately 2.6 km north of the Nyanda-4 well, the Nyanda-7 well is being drilled as a step

==> picture [596 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

out well to Nyanda-4, from which gas was produced at rates approaching 500,000 cubic feet per day3. On 19 December Target Depth of 1212m was reached at Nyanda 7.

  • On 24 December 2020 State Gas announced that further evaluation of the Nyanda 7 coal seam gas well logs indicated 38.2 m net coal using parameters determined from Nyanda 4 core and desorption data. The net coal and seam thicknesses and good quality gas shows between 486 – 1210m in the Reid’s Dome Beds coal measures are similar to those encountered in Nyanda 4. Borehole image data indicates numerous open natural fractures intersecting the coal seams in Nyanda 7. The well has been suspended awaiting completion.

  • Before the end of 2020, Nyanda-8 has spudded and drilling reached the targeted Total Depth of 1200 metres. Wireline logs indicated the well has intersected 19.7m net coal with open fractures apparent on the image log, exhibiting good potential for CSG production.

Triangle’s Managing Director, Mr Rob Towner, represents Triangle’s interests on the board of State Gas as a non-executive Director.

CORPORATE

Share Purchase Plan

On 4 September 2020, the Company launched a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to raise up to approximately AU$1 million (before costs) via the issue of Shares at an issue price of AU$0.03 per Share.

The SPP enabled existing eligible shareholders, irrespective of the size of their holding, to participate in the capital raising at the same issue price as the Placement, and not incur any brokerage or transaction costs.

Eligible shareholders, being those holders of Shares with an address in Australia or New Zealand as at 5.00pm (WST) on 26 August 2020, had the opportunity to apply for up to AU$30,000 worth of new Shares in the Company. The Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with existing Shares of the Company.

Initially, the maximum gross amount raised under the SPP was capped at a total of AU$1,000,000, however the Company reserved the right to change this cap at its discretion by announcement to ASX. Each applicant was to be treated equally and scaled back on a pro rata basis.

On 15 September 2020, the Board extended the closing date of the SPP to 2 October 2020 and on 7 October 2020, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Board was very pleased to announce the successful completion of the SPP.

The Company received SPP applications totalling $4,934,000 and the Board exercised its absolute discretion in accepting all valid oversubscriptions to the maximum threshold permitted under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 5 (being up to 30% of the Company's issued capital) and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s SPP. Therefore, the total amount raised under the SPP was $3,906,903.15, representing 130,230,084 Shares.

All applications received over and above this threshold were scaled back on a pro rata basis and the monies refunded to shareholders.

The SPP Shares were issued, during the quarter, on 13 October 2020.

Net proceeds raised from the SPP were used towards the workover program for CH6 and CH7, the continued development of the Company’s drilling prospects and for general working capital.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) of the Company was held on 27 November 2020, all resolutions were passed by a sufficient majority.

BACKGROUND TO OPERATIONS

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Cliff Head Oil Field - Operator WA-31-L Offshore Perth Basin (78.75%)

The Cliff Head Oil Field is located 10km off the coast of Western Australia at a water depth of 15-20 metres. The Production Licence WA-31-L covers 72km² and the oil field covers 6km². It was the first commercial oil discovery developed in the offshore Perth Basin. The development cost of the field was A$327 million with first oil production commencing in May 2006.

Production is from five ESP production wells and produced water is reinjected into three injection wells. Produced crude oil is trucked to the BP refinery in Kwinana, 42kms south of Perth.

Facilities and Infrastructure

The Cliff Head facilities are the only offshore infrastructure in the Perth Basin and are therefore important for any development in the surrounding area. An unmanned platform with a 14km pipeline carries the crude oil to a dedicated stabilisation processing plant at Arrowsmith, with a production capacity of 15,000 bopd.

The field has the capacity to produce approximately 1000 bopd from five production wells (3 horizontal and 2 deviated). The production from the field is supported by a water flood with 3 water injection wells (1 horizontal and 2 deviated). An additional unused well slot is available on the platform for future drilling activities.

Production Optimisation and Exploration Upside

The Perth Basin has more than 60 wells drilled offshore (approximately 47 wildcat wells) and 320 wells drilled onshore. The Northern Perth Basin has 20 commercial oil and gas fields and numerous additional significant discoveries of varying sizes. The Northern Perth Basin has proven production with 10 producing fields and with Cliff Head being the only offshore producing field.

The Cliff Head joint venture has developed a set of near field opportunities within the WA-31-L permit area to enhance production through the asset. These include in-field appraisal and development drilling, and near field exploration. Three opportunities are both technically mature and economically justified for drilling.

West High

==> picture [304 x 193] intentionally omitted <==

Arrowsmith Stabilisation Plant

The West High appraisal/development opportunity, on a likely western extension of the Cliff Head field, could be drilled by a deviated appraisal well from the Cliff Head platform, and then completed as a production well in the event of success. Best Estimate Contingent Resource of 1.06 MMstb (100%) is assessed, and it is also mature for drilling.

SE Nose

The SE Nose development opportunity is a low relief structure updip of the original Cliff Head 1 discovery well, that was confirmed and de-risked by depth conversion studies and is assessed to have Best Estimate Contingent Resources of 0.81 MMstb (100%) and is also mature for drilling.

Mentelle Updip

12

==> picture [596 x 125] intentionally omitted <==

The Mentelle Updip prospect has developed into an opportunity with sufficient resource potential to materially impact the life-cycle of the Cliff Head asset. Further seismic acquisition was evaluated and is not justified because of relative cost and additional time delays. Mentelle Updip is mature for drilling.

Two new features were identified from the CHRP, the Catts exploration prospect 1.4 kms SSW of the Cliff Head Alpha platform, and the Far North opportunity north of Cliff Head 10. Catts is a subtle two-way-time closure that is enhanced with depth conversion and analogous to the SE Nose structure and can also be developed from the Cliff Head Alpha platform in the event of exploration success. Far North is a possible structural culmination on the northern limit of the field that is indicated by upside scenarios of the depth conversion work. The upside depth model is supported by the production performance of the Cliff Head 10 well. Far North is still under evaluation. The Cliff Head south area also appears to provide long term exploration potential that could be drilled from the Cliff Head Alpha Platform, which requires further seismic acquisition to adequately define it.

The next steps are to commence detailed well planning, targeting a drilling campaign within the constraints of the current oil price and industry down-turn.

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)

The Cliff Head Joint Venture is dedicated to HSE and Asset Integrity Management.

Offshore Australian projects are subject to the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 safety case regime and all requirements are implemented at the offshore and onshore facilities.

All environmental requirements (EIAs, EMPs, Oil Pollution Emergency Plans, carbon emissions reporting) are being met.

Through its existing Cliff Head Oil Field production operations, the Cliff Head Joint Venture has established good relations with the regulators, fishing community, landholding sectors, tourism stakeholders and other operators in the area.

Xanadu - TP/15 Offshore Perth Basin (45%)

TP/15 is located in the offshore northern Perth Basin approximately 280km north of Perth. The permit occupies the 3 nautical mile wide state territorial waters of Western Australia, adjacent to Port Denison, and covers an area of 645km[2] .

Both Cliff Head and Xanadu lie on Beagle Ridge, east of the major Geraldton fault. The oil generation kitchen filling the Cliff Head Oil Field is viewed as the same source kitchen for the Xanadu prospect. Cliff Head and Xanadu also share the same reservoirs units. The technical understanding of the Xanadu prospect including reservoir seal and trap dynamics, is greatly enhanced by the analogous Cliff Head Oil Field.

The Xanadu-1 well was spudded on 4 September 2017 and reached a total depth of 2035 MDRT on 17 September 2017.gOn 25 September 2017, Triangle announced that an oil discovery at Xanadu-1 was confirmed. This was an outstanding achievement and the first oil discovery in the offshore Perth Basin since Cliff Head more than 15 years ago.

Analysis of the oil recovered from Xanadu-1 samples show a yield of 34.7[o] API crude oil with no H2S and extremely low levels of CO2 (0.02%). The Xanadu crude is similar to that produced at Cliff Head Oil Field and would be expected to receive similar pricing in the market. The minimal levels of CO2 and no H2S characteristics of the crude oil enable the use of lower-cost and schedule efficient development options.

The Xanadu 3D seismic survey was acquired during June and July 2019 to evaluate the extent and resource potential of the Xanadu structure and evaluate appraisal well locations. The results of the Xanadu 3D seismic data, along with the well data, suggests that commercial potential of the Xanadu discovery may be limited.

The recovery of moveable oil in the Xanadu-1 well is very encouraging for TP/15. It indicates that an oil charge is present south of the Cliff Head. A number of potentially large leads are mapped on the western sector of the Xanadu structure (West Xanadu) that appear to have excellent reservoir potential and are upgraded by the Xanadu discovery. The acquisition of low cost 2D seismic is being considered to mature these leads for drilling. The wider prospectivity of TP/15 is also being re-evaluated for the Xanadu-1 well data.

The value of any discoveries in the near shore TP/15 licence are potentially highly valuable because of the low cost to develop through the Cliff Head and Arrowsmith infra-structure.

8.8 If Item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
1.
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer: No, we are not expecting to continue with the same level of net operating cash
flows. The net operating cash flow for this quarter ending 31 December 2020 is
unusual as it includes a payment of prior period trade liabilities and capital
expenditure for CH6 and CH7 workovers.
2.
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: Yes, the Company has taken steps to raise further cash. Subsequent to the end of
the quarter, on 21 January 2021, the Company announced the receipt of US$1.02
in cleared funds from PT Enso Asia. On 29 January 2021, the Company
successfully completed a capital raising with binding commitments of AU$1.19
million. Further, the Company owns a significant shareholding in ASX-listed State
Gas Limited.
3.
Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
objectives and, if so, on what basis?

ASX Listing Rules Appendix 5B (01/12/19) + See chapter 19 of the ASX Listing Rules for defined terms.
