· a Shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.

United Kingdom (CREST Voting Instructions)

DI Holders in CREST may transmit voting instructions by utilising the CREST voting service in accordance with the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider, should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider, who will be able to take appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for instructions made using the CREST voting service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Voting Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com/CREST).

To be effective, the CREST Voting Instruction must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent (3RA50) no later than Wednesday, 27 February 2019 at 4:00pm (GMT). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the CREST Voting Instruction by the CREST applications host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the CREST Voting Instruction by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. DI Holders in CREST and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the transmission of CREST Voting Instructions. It is the responsibility of the DI Holder concerned to take (or, if the DI Holder is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that the CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a CREST Voting Instruction is transmitted by means of the CREST voting service by any particular time.

In this connection, DI Holders and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. Resolutions 1 and 2 - Ratification of prior issue of Shares under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A

General

On 8 January 2019, the Company announced a placement of 100,000,000 Shares to certain new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors at an issue price of 2.8 pence ($0.05) per Share to raise £2.8 million (approximately $5,000,000) before expenses (the Placement).

57,470,722 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 42,529,278 Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A which was approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 22 November 2018.

Resolutions 1 and 2 seek Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of these Shares.

Resolution 1 - ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions, issue or agree to issue more equity securities during any 12 month period than that amount which represents 15% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. It provides that where a company in general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1) those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 1, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Resolution 2 - ASX Listing Rules 7.1A and 7.4

ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that in addition to issues permitted without prior shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, an entity that is eligible and obtains shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A may issue or agree to issue during the period for which the approval is valid a number of quoted equity securities which represents 10% of the number of fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period as adjusted in accordance with the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Where an eligible entity obtains shareholder approval to increase its placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A then any ordinary securities issued under that additional placement capacity:

(a) will not be counted in variable "A" in the formula in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A; and

(b) are counted in variable "E",

until their issue has been ratified under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 (and provided that the previous issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1A) or 12 months has passed since their issue.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 2, the base figure (i.e. variable "A") in which the Company's 15% and 10% annual placement capacities are calculated will be a higher number which in turn will allow a proportionately higher number of securities to be issued without prior Shareholder approval.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolutions 1 and 2:

(a) 100,000,000 Shares were issued on the following basis:

(i) 57,470,722 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1; and

(ii) 42,529,278 Shares were issued pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1A;

(b) the Shares were issued at an issue price of $0.05 each;

(c) the Shares issued were all fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares;

(d) the Shares were issued to certain new and existing institutional and sophisticated investors via the Company's Brokers and Corporate Adviser. None of these subscribers are related parties of the Company; and

(e) the funds raised from the issue will be used to augment the Company's general working capital and provide contingency, as the Company prepares for the upcoming drilling of the Winx-1 exploration well and potential appraisal activities in the Alaska North Slope, where the Company has a 31.5% working interest.

Resolution 3 - Ratification of prior issue of Broker Options under ASX Listing Rule 7.1

General

On 15 January 2019, the Company issued a total of 6,000,000 unlisted Options (exercisable at $0.05 each on or before 15 January 2022) (Broker Options) to nominees of Brandon Hill Capital, 708 Capital and Max Capital as consideration for stockbroking and advisory services related to the Placement.

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of the Broker Options.

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 1.2.

By ratifying the issue the subject of Resolution 3, the Company will retain the flexibility to issue equity securities in the future up to the 15% annual placement capacity set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1 without the requirement to obtain prior Shareholder approval.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

(a) 6,000,000 Broker Options were issued;

(b) the Broker Options were issued for nil cash consideration to nominees of Brandon Hill Capital, 708 Capital and Max Capital as consideration for stockbroking and advisory services related to the Placement;

(c) the Broker Options were issued on the terms and conditions set out in Schedule 1;

(d) 6,000,000 Broker Options were issued to the nominees of Brandon Hill Capital, 708 Capital and Max Capital, none of whom are related parties of the Company; and
