3 Exhibit 99.1 NEWS RELEASE CONTINENTAL SUBSIDIARY RECEIVES RENEWABLE ENERGY GRANT OTCQB: CPPXF Dar es Salaam, Tanzania - 9 December Continental Energy Corporation, the "Company", an emerging international energy investment company, today announced that its Tanzanian subsidiary, Ruaha River Power Company Ltd. (" Ruaha Power"), has been appointed manager of a US$ 95,000 grant from the Rural Energy Agency ("REA") of Tanzania. The grant is made under the Tanzania Energy Development Access (" TEDAP") program with funds provided by the World Bank and the Global Environmental Fund. The proceeds of the grant are to be used to conduct a site specific technical and environmental study for a Ruaha Power proposed two megawatt hybrid renewable energy generation and distribution network, or "Mini-Grid", incorporating a mix of run-of-river hydropower, solar photovoltaic, and biomass gasifier technologies. The study area is in the Iringa and Dodoma regions of central Tanzania and is near the 300 kilowatt Malolo Mini-Grid, an existing hybrid biomass-diesel-solar power project, already under development by Ruaha Power. The grant agreement was signed in Dar es Salaam by REA's director of technical services, Mr. Bengiel H. Msofe and by Mr. John Tate on behalf of Kastan Mining Ltd., a founding shareholder of Ruaha Power. In addition to being a director of the Company, and a director and CFO of Ruaha Power, Mr. Tate is also the CEO of Kastan. Kastan has assigned responsibility to Ruaha Power to manage the grant and the study. Ruaha Power shall develop and operate the Mini-Grid that results from it. Company director John Tate, said after the signing; " We are proud to be associated with REA, the World Bank, and the Global Environmental Fund in helping bring reliable, renewable energy to customers in underserved rural markets in Tanzania. We have identified a promising hybrid Mini-Grid development opportunity in the study area. It has a sizeable nearby market with an ever increasing electricity demand. The TEDAP grant is the first step towards Ruaha Power s goal of realizing a commercial Mini-Grid development there." The Company's CEO, Richard L. McAdoo commented; "This grant represents an important milestone as we transition the Company from being a traditional energy explorer to being a renewable and alternative energy developer. Our many years of experience in operating complex projects in developing countries around the Indian Ocean Rim has become an important advantage. We have a rapidly building set of renewable energy development projects in the pipeline both in East Africa and SE Asia and look forward to substantial forward progress in 2015." About Ruaha Power: Ruaha Power is an international renewable energy developer committed to profitably developing and operating customized hybrid renewable electrical power generation and isolated mini-grid distribution networks that supply underserved rural and small urban markets of Tanzania and other developing countries around the Indian Ocean Rim. In addition to the 2 MW Mini-Grid contemplated under the REA TEDAP grant, and its 300 kw Malolo Mini-Grid development, Ruaha Power is conducting a feasibility study on a 25 MW grid-connected, run-of-river hydropower project on Tanzania's Lukosi River. About the REA and the TEDAP Grant Program: The REA is a government agency set up to promote and facilitate improved access to electrical power in rural and small urban areas of Tanzania. According to the REA, rural and small urban energy consumption accounts for 85% of the nation's demand but less than 15% of rural and small urban inhabitants have access to national grid electricity service. The REA administers the TEDAP program which provides a range of grants, incentives, and other financial support to renewable energy developers addressing these underserved markets.

The grant is to fund a detailed feasibility study, to be undertaken by U.S. consulting company Knight Piesold & Co., that will evaluate technical requirements of the proposed facilities and make recommendations on a standardized 10 MW hydropower plant design, layout, and equipment configuration that Ruaha Power can use to fast-track the developments at these and other Ruaha Power selected localities where the required site conditions for a similar size hydropower plant are appropriate. The grant agreement was signed at the U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam by Mr. Brandon Megorden, USTDA Country Manager and Continental director, Mr. John Tate, who is also the CEO of Kastan Mining PLC, the host country sponsor for the grant. Mr. Tate commented after the signing, We established Ruaha Power to create a platform that could quickly identify, develop, and launch smaller scale renewable energy generation and distribution network projects to serve our target customer base, off-grid communities in Tanzania. Ruaha Power's primary role and objective in the feasibility study is to develop a screening procedure to identify specific additional locations suitable for more 10 MW hydropower developments. Continental s CEO, Mr. Richard L. McAdoo, added, The template this grant enables us to create will allow us to identify other selected locations in Tanzania, Indonesia, and other developing countries around the Indian Ocean Rim. Our plan is to replicate similarly sized, environmentally friendly run-of-river hydropower projects. The grant also provides us with a strong vote of confidence in Continental s new business model as we move into the project financing phase to implement these developments. About Ruaha Power: Ruaha Power, a subsidiary of Continental, is an international renewable energy developer committed to profitably developing and operating customized hybrid renewable electrical power generation and isolated mini-grid distribution networks ("Mini- Grids") that supply underserved rural and small urban markets of Tanzania and other developing countries around the Indian Ocean Rim. In addition to the hydropower projects supported by the USTDA grant, Ruaha Power is developing a 2 MW Mini-Grid assisted by grant aid from the Rural Energy Agency's Tanzania Electricity Development Program, and another 300 kw Mini-Grid development to serve 1,600 customers in Malolo, Tanzania. About the USTDA and the Power Africa Initiative: The U.S. Trade and Development Agency helps companies create U.S. jobs through the export of U.S. goods and services for priority development projects in emerging economies.
