QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT For the period ending December 31, 2020

1 PRODUCTION

The Company, through its US subsidiary, continued to act as operator of the Wyoming (Borie) and California (Round Mountain and Sheep Springs) oilfields while negotiations were finalised with ANB Bank in relation to the workout agreement. All revenue was to the account of the bank and operating expenses, including the US wages for management of these operations, was covered from net operating income. At close of the Workout Agreement, Incremental Oil and Gas USA Holdings, Inc. ceased to be an operator with all field management handed over to a new operator.

2 CORPORATE

After a period of constructive negotiations with the Company’s lender, agreement was reached on a Workout Arrangement. In exchange for assignment of the production assets in Wyoming and California, Eon is released of its debt and guarantee obligations under the loan. Following assignment of the assets, Eon no longer has liability for restoration of the oil and gas fields that it previously owned and operated. All expenditure in the US with the exception of a small ongoing administration and accounting function has ceased in USA. Costs in Australia are limited to compliance and administration expenses.

Retained Assets:

Eon has retained two main undertakings that will enable it to continue to operate as a going concern:

  1. PRB exploration project : The rights to explore and develop leasehold acreage of approximately 9,600 acres in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming for oil and gas. Eon identified opportunities in and around the leasehold acreage that it acquired in 2018 that remain undeveloped and have commercial merit in the right economic circumstances;

  2. Nevada Mineral Lode Claims : The rights to explore for minerals in its 840 acres of mineral lode claims in the Table Mountain District of Nevada. Preliminary work was carried out by the Company to identify the potential for battery minerals, in particular cobalt when the claims were first pegged in 2018. A review of the initial work that was carried out on the sampling and the substantially different commodity prices (in particular silver which is a metal that has been historically extracted from these claims) provide an opportunity for further exploration for precious metals. The Nevada lode claims lie in a highly mineralised part of the USA with active gold, silver and cobalt exploration currently being carried out in adjacent areas.
