Company Update 12 October 2015

Company update


ASX/MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT


12 October 2015


COMPANY UPDATE


Galilee Energy Limited (ASX:GLL) ('Galilee' or the 'Company') continues to deliver on its renewed strategy that was outlined in April 2014. Since the new Board and management team was elected the asset base of Galilee has gone through a period of significant growth. The immediate focus is unlocking the value of these projects through booking reserves in the Galilee Basin and moving towards production in the US projects.


A new presentation is attached to this announcement which outlines a compelling investment case and Galilee's near term milestones.


INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Well funded, diversified oil and gas explorer trading near cash backing

  • Experienced leadership team with a demonstrated track record of top tier Australian CSG and conventional exploration success, with exceptionally strong alignment with the directors and management who are well invested with c.11% ownership

  • Galilee continues to focus its funds on high impact exploration and has significantly reduced its corporate expenditure over the last two years

  • Execution on corporate strategy is accelerating with significant achievements in all three focus areas (maximising value of Glenaras Gas Project, building production base, growing exploration portfolio)

  • 100% owned Glenaras Gas Project is a highly strategic asset with an opportunity to supply cheap gas into the structurally undersupplied east coast gas market

  • Onshore US assets have potential to generate near term US$ cash flows with follow-up drilling scheduled for late 2015 on the liquids rich Hoffer gas discovery

  • Excellent CSG exploration potential in Chile represents a valuable long term growth option


Managing Director Peter Lansom said 'Over the last 2 years Galilee has constructed a portfolio of strategic assets with a diversification of development stage and geography. We are now very focused on booking significant reserves at the Glenaras Gas Project and unlocking production in the US. We look forward to delivering significant value to our loyal shareholders as we begin to transition from explorer to developer.'

GALILEE'S NEW STRATEGY HAS REDUCED CORPORATE EXPENDITURE AND FOCUSED FUNDS ON EXPLORATION


  • Since its election in October 2013, Galilee's Board and management has been executing on a clear strategy of focused investment and reduced corporate expenditure

    - Galilee has continued to reduce corporate expenditure consistently over the last 18 months

  • Galilee has no debt outstanding and is fully funded for our upcoming exploration program

    Glenaras Gas Project - Galilee Basin (ATP 529P)


    GLENARAS GAS PROJECT IS GALILEE'S FOUNDATION ASSET AND REMAINS A KEY EXPLORATION FOCUS

    Location of GGP (Galilee Basin)

  • Glenaras Gas Project (GGP) has the potential to become a key supplier to the structurally undersupplied east coast gas market

    • Very large, yet to be contracted, resource

    • High resource concentration (equivalent to Fairview/Spring Gully)

    • Minimal water treatment with high probability of being able to re-inject produced water

    • Positive stakeholder relationship

    • Very low well costs

  • Multiple market options exist for GGP

    • South or west to Wallumbilla and Mt Isa

    • East to connect to Brisbane or Gladstone

  • The distance to market is comparable to the length of the recently constructed CSG-LNG pipelines


    Glenaras Gas Project contingent resources


    2015 ASSESSMENT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE GGP RESOURCES AND HIGHLIGHTS ITS POTENTIAL VALUE


  • 2015 MHA Resource Assessment significantly upgraded the Glenaras Gas Project contingent resources

    - Highlights the strong opportunity for GGP to supply gas into the structurally short east coast market

  • Converting the 2C resources to 2P reserves is the key immediate focus for Galilee

- The R1 coal seam gas is critical in testing the commercial potential of the GGP and converting the

contingent resources into reserves
