How do we sustain our results?
• Restructuring of the organisation – set foundations
• Implementation of scorecards & quarterly targets
• Implementation of an Operational Management System (OMS) – sustainability
− Strategic Planning sessions
− Financial compliance & cost control – ERP improvements/automation, PO systems,
accruals etc
− Daily & Weekly cost control processes – early intervention for the monthly budget
− Maintenance Management Systems
− Process maps
− Gap Analysis – offset decline

Shale Oil & Gas
Arckaringa Basin 2015 drilling program
5,052m of exploratory drilling completed:
Pata1 - hydrocarbon shows were recorded providing evidence of an oil
bearing formation
Eba1 - extensive suite of geological information has been collected which will
be used to re-interpret target formations within the regional seismic model
and improve understanding of the Basin’s structure in absence of
hydrocarbons in this well
Samples collected to date are currently undergoing geochemical, geo-mechanical
and routine core/cuttings analysis in Houston – results expected to be announced
late June 2015
Preliminary findings from Pata1 indicates the Stuart Range Formation has excellent
source rock generative potential for oil. This is evident by the Total Organic Carbon
(TOC) being reported as high at 11.60% and the Hydrogen Indices (HI) ranging
between 228 up to 594
Weatherford completed Vitrinite Reflectance on selected Pata 1 core. Results
indicate initial samples are within the oil window (0.55 – 0.66%).

Eagle Ford and Bakken estimates based on U.S. Energy Information Administration “Annual Energy Outlook 2012”, dated June 2012. Eagle Ford comprises 2.5 billion bbl liquids and 50.2
TCF gas. EIA area estimate for Eagle Ford includes dry gas acreage - liquids rich acreage amounts to 8,300 km2 / 2 million acres.
Arckaringa Basin prospective resources net to Linc Energy acreage only, adjusted for probability of geologic success, based on D&M report dated 21 January 2013 (3.5 billion boe at 51%
liquids). Area relates to c. 4 million acres within Linc Energy’s Arckaringa Basin acreage containing sweet spots where accumulations of organic rich shale are expected. Total Arckaringa
Basin area amounts to ~80,000 km2 (20 million acres).
Technical statistics (Porosity, Permeability, Kerogen Type, TOC, Vitrinite Reflectance and Tmax) relate to Stuart Range.

Underground Coal Gasification
UCG
• Shift the focus from exploration & engineering to a commercial focus and
partnering with entities who have well defined resources, removing exploration risk
and reducing time for future commercial project development
• New partnerships being sought in emerging jurisdictions such as Indonesia,
Tanzania and China along with Alaska. Roadmaps have been completed for all
potential projects.
• Developments in established projects currently taking place in four regions:
Alaska:
Term sheet for gas offtake
Convert existing Tyonek exploration license into a lease and commence
regulatory approval process.
Poland:
Continue to work with project partners, progressing the tendering process
and engage with government to overcome approval delays.
South Africa:
Further develop project plan for 10,000 bpd GTL facility with Exxaro
Tanzania:
Need to obtain regulatory approvals and establish Joint Venture
Arrangement & commence PPA negotiations
Complete exploration works for phase 1 of project

Heavy Oil Recovery
Heavy Oil Recovery – Moving Injection Gravity Drainage
Low cost early stage development work adaption of proprietary UCG downhole tools
and techniques for the extraction of heavy
crude oil in a known regulatory environment
Initial studies have been encouraging,
indicating this technology has the potential
to deliver cost and efficiency advantages
over existing industry processes
The Company has been focusing its initial
development activities in Canada
