    The initial independent certification has been completed by Netherland, Sewell and Associates Inc
    (NSAI), a Dallas based company which conducts reserves certification exercises for both
    conventional hydrocarbons and unconventional gas such as CBM. NSAI has extensive experience
    and have provided independent reserves certification for most of the current CSM projects in
    Australia.
    The certification identifies a potential 525.4 BCF of recoverable gas (3P plus contingent resources)
    from a mapped volume of approximately 1600 BCF (1.6 TCF) of gas in place.
    The current exploration data, on which NSAI has based its assessment, covers only part of the
    Basin. As the exploration program is expanded, this should lead to additional areas being included
    in future reserves certification exercises.
    Lucas and Molopo currently estimate the overall Gas-in-Place potential for the Basin to be in the
    range 2.5-3.0 TCF. It is anticipated that a reserves upgrade will be announced in late 2008 or
    early 2009 once further exploration results are available and the production performance from the
    recently expanded pilot (five new production test wells) are known.
    This certification represents a significant milestone for the project and confirms its economic
    potential. CBM projects traditionally commence with relatively low levels of 2P certified reserves
    (often significantly lower than these levels) and increase significantly over time as greater
    production confidence and additional data coverage are obtained.
