  • Vintage and Metgasco to each fund 50% of the Cervantes well cost

  • High-side fault trap of multiple reservoir units (similar to existing fields)

  • Permian sandstone reservoir targets (prolific producers in Perth Basin)

  • COS of 28% and a high chance of development

Gross Cervantes structure prospective resource (MMbbl)[3]

3 Volumetrics sourced from Metgasco. The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. These prospective resources are estimated as of 10 September 2019 and first reported to the ASX on 15 November 2019. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons. The resources have been classified and estimated in accordance with the Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS). The prospective resources have been estimated based on the interpretation of 3D seismic integrated with offset well data. Probabilistic methods have been used to estimate the prospective resource in individual reservoirs and the reservoirs have been summed arithmetically. Vintage is not aware of any new data or information that materially affects the estimate above and that all material assumptions and technical parameters continue to apply and have not materially changed. It is expected that the prospect will be drilled in H1 FY21 and that no further material exploration activities, including studies, further data acquisition and evaluation work are to be undertaken prior to that activity. Resource estimates are net of shrinkage.

Investment risks

  • Potential investors should be aware that there are risks associated with investing in Vintage. Certain risks are beyond the control of Vintage and its Directors and Management and may have a material impact on Vintage’s future operating and financial performance, and/or the financial position of Vintage, its prospects and/or the value of the Shares. Some of the key risks associated with an investment in Vintage are described as follows.
Investment risks
• Key to Vintage’s financial performance is to have success in exploring for and locating commercial hydrocarbons.
Exploration risk Exploration is subject to technical risks and uncertainty of outcome. Vintage may not find any or sufficient
hydrocarbon reserves and resources to commercialise which would adversely impact the financial performance of
Vintage.
• In the event that Vintage is successful in locating commercial quantities of hydrocarbon through exploration, or
purchases a development project, then that development could be delayed or unsuccessful for a number of reasons
Development risk including extreme weather, unanticipated operational occurrences, failure to obtain necessary approvals, insufficient
funds, a drop-in commodity price, supply chain failure, unavailability of appropriate labour, or an increase in costs. If
one or more of these occurrences has a material impact then Vintage’s operational and financial performance may
be negatively affected.
• The Company has observed that in response to COVID-19, governments globally have imposed restrictions on the
movement of citizens and limited non-essential services and activities. Governments around the world have also
recommended or enforced restrictions on both domestic and international travel in order to slow the spread of
COVID-19. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 restrictions, it is not currently possible to assess
