WILDHORSE ENERGY LIMITED STATEMENT RE SHARE PRICE MOVEMENT |
The Board of Wildhorse Energy ('WHE' or 'the Company'), the AIM and ASX listed company focussed on developing underground coal gasification ('UCG') and uranium projects in Central and Eastern Europe, notes the recent increase in the share price of the Company and wishes to state that it is not aware of any information that has not been announced which could explain this movement. As previously announced, the Company is currently engaged in on-going, non-binding discussions with a third party, which is consistent with its previously announced partner selection process to advance its UCG projects in Hungary. The Company has not as yet entered into a binding term sheet with such third party.

Wildhorse Business Model
The WHE business model is focussed upon applying UCG technology to convert coal into syngas and then selling the syngas to power stations as a gas feedstock. The development and expansion of the UCG portfolio is underpinned by a potentially world class uranium project which the Company is advancing with its Hungarian uranium development partners Mecsek-Öko and Mecsekérc, with the support of the Hungarian Government.
Business Strategy
The Company's business strategy is to become a major supplier of gas feedstock to power stations in Central and Eastern Europe. WHE's project development strategy is based primarily upon acquiring strategic UCG sites in key locations in Central and Eastern Europe where gas markets are dominated by Russian gas imports, energy security is a major factor for governments and large scale industrial consumers of gas and gas prices are correspondingly high.
Alongside its UCG assets, the Company also has a significant interest in a highly prospective uranium deposit in Hungary, which has a JORC Inferred resource of 48.3Mt at 0.072% uranium U3O8 for 77Mlbs of U3O8.As announced on 27 June 2012, the government has issued a formal decree in support of the formation of a joint venture ('JV') with state-owned organisations, Mecsek-Öko, and Mecsekérc and Hungarian Electricity Ltd ('MVM') (the owner of Paks Nuclear Power Plant). The JV's initial purpose will be to evaluate the necessary conditions to restart uranium mining in the Mecsek Hills with the ultimate aim of recommencing uranium mining at the Mecsek Hills Uranium Project.
