Project Updates

India

The Company advises that the sale process being conducted by GSPC for its 55% interest in the Cambay PSC remains ongoing, though progress continues to be delayed due to the impact of COVID-19 in India. Regular dialogue continues with both GSPC and the requisite representatives of the Government of India (GoI) to bring these efforts to a positive conclusion.

The sale of the Bhandut PSC is nearing completion with only transfer by the GoI now required. The Company continues to assist the new buyer, Kiri and Company Logistics Private Limited, in finalising the transaction and with its future activities in the PSC under a contract arrangement.

The Company is pleased to advise that it has received US$238,000 from GSPC during the September quarter in respect of recent Cambay and Bhandut cash calls.

Indonesia

The Company advises that the Company's strategic efforts to regain a participating interest in the West Kampar PSC in Indonesia are continuing with recent presentations and discussions with the Indonesian government task force charged with implementing the management of upstream oil and gas business activities. These presentations outline Oilex's plan to rejuvenate the Pendalian oilfield, drill new in-field wells, and conduct exploration activities.

New Ventures

The Company continues to evaluate new venture opportunities in the search for robust projects which will progress the Company's main objective of returning value to shareholders.

Managing Director, Joe Salomon said "Like most companies, our business is experiencing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we remain confident of seeing our projects through to fruition. The Company's running costs continue to be minimized with the ongoing support of our employees and suppliers and shareholders.

We look forward to providing further updates on our projects as we continue to make progress."
