Annual General Meeting

Rawson Resources Annual General Meeting was held on 5th November 2015. All eight resolutions were successfully passed.

Appraisal Activities

PRL 26 (Udacha) - Cooper Basin, South Australia

(Beach Energy 15% - operator, Drillsearch 75%, Rawson 10%)

Following the Udacha Joint Venture approval to put Udacha-1 into production, the Udacha-1 well underwent recompletion activities during the quarter. A new well head and tubing were installed to allow the well to be safely fracture stimulated ahead of being flow tested and tied back into production through the Middleton production facility.

The Udacha gas field (Figure 1) was discovered in 2006 by the Udacha-1 well and is located approximately 5 kilometres northwest of the Middleton gas plant and 3 kilometres from the nearby Brownlow field.

The block is located in the Cooper Basin, South Australia, and approximately 4 km west of the Brownlow-1 well and approximately 50 km north west of the Moomba Field.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Udacha Joint Venture successfully completed the fracture stimulation and flow test of the Udacha-1 well with flow test production commencing on 15 January 2016. Following five days of post fracture stimulation clean-up flow, a stabilised flow rate of 1.7 million standard cubic feet a day was achieved through a choke size of 24/64" at 650 psi over a 24 hour period.

These results mean the Udacha Joint Venture can proceed with connecting the Udacha-1 well into the nearby Middleton production facility as planned. It is expected that production will start during the second quarter of 2016 and provide a long term revenue stream to Rawson and its joint venture partners.

Exploration Activities

PEL 155 and PEL 154 - Otway Basin, South Australia

(Otway Energy 100%)

No operations or activities were undertaken during the quarter in PEL 154 and PEL155. Both licences remain in suspension until 03 July 2016.

PEL155 is located in the Otway Basin, South Australia, approximately 10 km southeast of the Katnook Gas Fields, near the town of Nangwarry, South Australia.

Exploration Applications

Papua New Guinea

(Rawson Resources 100%)

Following a strategic review of options available to Rawson Resources and in identifying growth opportunities and access to acreage, the Company made several applications (Figure 2) for petroleum exploration licences in Papua New Guinea (PNG) during the previous quarter. These permit applications are progressing through the regulatory system and further updates will follow as milestones are achieved.
