Competent Persons Statement The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Geothermal Resources or Geothermal Reserves is based on information compiled by Peter Reid, who appears on the Register of Practicing Geothermal Professionals maintained by the Australian Geothermal Energy Group Incorporated at the time of the publication of this report. Peter Reid is a full time employee of the Company. Peter Reid has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style and type of geothermal play under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the Second Edition (2010) of the Australian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Geothermal Resources and Geothermal Reserves. Peter Reid has consented in writing to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Dr Beardsmore is employed by Hot Dry Rocks Pty Ltd, an independent consulting group that provides professional services to Petratherm Ltd. Dr Beardsmore has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style and type of geothermal play under consideration and to the activity which he/she is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the Second Edition (2010) of the ‘Australian Code for Re porting Exploration Results, Geothermal Resources and Geothermal Reserves’.

  8. 2D seismic interpretation suggests faults and fractures may be regionally extensive below a thick quartzite sequence

  9. Paralana 2 – Drilling  New Weatherford Owned 2000HP Le Tourneau Lightning Rig  57 metres high ~ 10 Stories  85 Semi-Trailer Loads  Spudded June 30, 2009 p e t r a t h e r m

  10. Paralana 2 well summary › Depth 4003m (G.L. A.H.D.) › Well cased and cemented to 3725m › Extrapolated bottom hole temperature ~ 190 o C › High pressure geothermal brines intersected from 3680m › Zircon dating confirms 1585 ± 11 Ma Reservoir Sequence › Contains numerous fractures and faults › 6m perforated interval between 3679 and 3685m

  11. Paralana 2 – Brine Intersected  High torque, intervals of high ROP ’ s, drilling breaks and increase in well bore deviation  Inflow of over-pressured geothermal brines between 3670 - 3864 m  Shut in pressure indicated ~ 3,300 psi, of overpressure and mud system weighted up to 13.2ppg to stop flow.  Well bore stability problems limited wire line logging to LWD measurements to 3725 m Numerous large Fractures/Faults Intersected!

  12. Passive seismic array  MEQ - Array Managed by IESE  1 deep borehole sonde at 1800m in Paralana 1b  6 borehole sondes ~ 200m  10 surface seismometers  4 accelerometers

  13. Fracture Stimulation – Key Statistics › 3.1 million litres injected › Injection rates: 3.2 - 27 l/sec › Equilibrium WHP prior and post operation 3940 psi. › Acid treatments allow higher pumping rates. › Sand proppant successfully placed Photo: courtesy Advertiser, July 2011 at end of the treatment.

  14. Fracture Stimulation – Pressure and flow rate Note - This pressure rise is only at surface, not downhole

  15. Micro-seismic events – main fracture › MEQ array successfully recorded micro-seismicity: › 11,000 events triggered and located by MIMO › 4,351 events handpicked › Ground motion – acceleration and velocity – always within the safe limits established in the risk management plan. › Good correlation between pumping rates and micro- The first micro-seismic events appear on the screens at the micro-seismic monitoring centre seismic events at Paralana

  17. Paralana – Fracture Stimulation • A complex frac shape – creating a 3D volume rather than along a plane, which may allow a high heat recovery factor • Natural fractures and brines present 3,200m • The fractured volume is an enhancement of the naturally fractured system • Reservoir is over-pressured which may 4,200m assist production flows View North

  18. Paralana Flow Test, Oct 2011 • 1.28 million litres produced • Flow rate – 1 – 6 litres/sec • Bottom 200 metres - well fluid temperature 171 o C
