Bedout

Sub-basin

Opportunity

An opportunity to

participate in the

development of the

Phoenix South oil

discovery and

exploration of an

extensive new oil

(2)

Opportunity Highlights

An opportunity to participate in Finder’s Bedout Sub-basin permits which include the recent Phoenix South

discovery

(1) Apache News Release, August 18, 2014

Opportunity Highlights

Significant oil

discovery with

potentially large

reserves

 The Phoenix South-1 well intersected at least four oil columns ranging in thickness from 26 to 46 metres

 There is estimated to be as much as 300 MMbbls in place(1) in the

Triassic reservoir

 Phoenix South is the most significant oil discovery on the North West Shelf in the last 25 years

Oil and reservoir

quality indicate a

commercial

discovery

 Potential oil productive reservoir with permeability calculated up to hundreds of millidarcies

 Six oil samples recovered with API gravity estimates of 46 to 48 degrees

Extensive new oil

province with large

exploration potential

 Four permits totalling 5.36 million acres (21,720 km2) which have

access to oil mature source rocks

 63 prospects and leads over seven play levels greater than 10 km2

identified on existing data, several larger than Phoenix South

Exposure to

near-term drilling and

development

 The joint venture is planning to drill the Roc prospect in 2015 (Finder is carried) which is a 3D supported target larger than Phoenix South

 The joint venture is considering appraisal of the Phoenix South discovery in early 2015

 Development concepts are currently being assessed targeting early first oil

Reputable operator

and a motivated joint

venture

 Apache is an operator of choice in Australia and has a strong reputation for developing projects on time and on budget

 The joint venture is aligned with the exploration and development strategy

Stable fiscal regime

 The assets are located in a stable OECD fiscal regime with supportive

state and federal governments

Phoenix South Discovery

The Phoenix South-1 well intersected at least four discrete oil columns with oil and reservoir quality indicating a

commercial discovery

Phoenix South Overview

Drill Results

When Phoenix-1 well was drilled in 1980 the

outcome was assumed to be tight gas

The Phoenix South-1 well drilled in August 2014

was an oil discovery confirming the current

reservoir model

Size

The well intersected at least four discrete oil

columns ranging in thickness between 26 to 46

metres

There is estimated to be as much as 300 MMbbls

in place

(1)

Oil Quality

Six oil samples recovered with API gravity

estimates of 46 to 48 degrees

Reservoir

Permeability measurements from the sampled

zones indicate an oil productive reservoir

Permeabilities calculated in tested zones range

from tens to hundreds of millidarcies

Sand rich reservoir section between 4,160 and

4,540 metres confirms the reservoir model

Extensive New Oil Province

The joint venture is

drilling the Roc

Prospect in 2015

which is a larger

structure than

Phoenix South with

shallower and better

developed reservoir

There are 63

prospects and leads

greater than 10 km

identified on existing

data across all

permits with access
