8 Current assets ATP529P Prospectivity Coal Seam Gas: Galilee Basin sub-bituminous to bituminous Late Permian Betts Creek coal beds. Eromanga Basin Post- Permian Toolebuc shale gas/ oil. Conventional Oil and Gas accumulations are considered to be high risk. Moving to commercialisation A significant gas flow would lead to a re-rating of the Basin s potential. A commercial rate would lead to reserve booking. LNG sector underwriting strong demand for gas. Major domestic customers becoming increasingly desperate for new gas sources. Local power options at Barcaldine with a growing need for energy in the new Galilee Basin mining precinct near the project area. 7

9 Glenaras Pilot completion design Current Existing pilots utilised multi-stage fracture stimulations Considered necessary for productivity This resulted in high permeability water zones being connected to the coal. Most production has come from the water zones with little drawdown of the coals Planned Proposing a completion of the coal only Simple design and significant reduction in cost Coal permeability should be sufficient to achieve commercial flow rates. Production will be from the coal beds only allowing pressure drawdown and gas production Plug Coals Water bearing units Coals Water bearing units 8

10 Building a production base and free cashflow We are building a production base by identifying projects with a preference for: Materiality for the company In or near-term production Liquids or liquids rich gas Deliver sustainable free cashflow within 2 yrs Substantial equity interest and operatorship Projects where the technical expertise of the company will add value. Potentially joint venture on larger assets with investors looking for oil and gas exposure but seeking operating/technical expertise global capital markets are opening for these deals. Areas of interest Onshore Australia North America Asia 9

11 Expanding our exploration portfolio Building a quality exploration portfolio has the potential to deliver significant value for shareholders but will take time. Quality deals are worth the wait. Add a photo or two Strategy: Identifying underexplored sedimentary basins in stable jurisdictions Leveraging modern exploration and data analysis techniques to frontier opportunities Seeking to obtain interests in the areas by direct application or by farm-in. Areas of Interest South America North Africa Europe 10
