    HOMEX - Sydney

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Australian Worldwide Exploration Limited, via its wholly-owned
    subsidiary, AWE (Perth Basin) Pty Ltd, ("AWE"), has been provided an
    update on the Jingemia-1 well by the operator of EP 413.

    The text of the Operator's advice is as follows:

    "Preliminary interpretation of the charts recovered from Drill Stem
    Test 2 in the Dongara Sandstone over the interval 2,407.3 metres to
    2,419 metres has indicated that this test was only partially
    successful due to plugging of the test tool upon commencement of the
    main 3 hour flow period. Consequently, almost the entire oil recovery
    of 26.5 barrels announced yesterday is believed to have been produced
    during the initial 8 minute preflow period. This suggests an
    initialflow rate from this reservoir in excess of 4,000 barrels of oil
    per day.

    Following retrieval of the Drill Stem Test tool, the well has been
    drilled a depth of 2,497 metres. Indications whilst drilling suggest
    that the Dongara Sandstone is approximately 55 metres thick with good
    oil shows recorded over an interval of 34 metres.

    It has been agreed by the Joint Venture that wireline logs will be
    run once sufficient hole has been drilled to allow logging over the
    entire reservoir interval. It is now likely that the oil zone will be
    cased prior to drilling ahead to the secondary High Cliff Sandstone
    target in 6 inch hole.

    Commenting on today's release, Origin Energy's General Manager
    Exploration Dr Rob Willink said 'The joint venture is edging closer
    to understanding the commercial significance of this exciting new
    onshore oil discovery in the Perth Basin. Wireline logs expected to
    be acquired later today will determine the actual extent of the
    hydrocarbon column in the Dongara Sandstone, and the thickness and
    quality of this reservoir. Once this information is to hand, an
    preliminary estimate of potential oil in place and recoverable
    reserves can be made and released to the market.'

    All depths cited above are measured depths along hole."

    Jingemia-1 is the first of a number of wells in the northern Perth
    Basin in which AWE will participate in the next 5 months. Others
    include appraisal of the Cliff Head oil discovery and the Mentelle
    and Twin Lions exploration wells, all situated in shallow waters,
    nearshore and to the west of Jingemia-1.

    Commenting on the Jingemia discovery, AWE's managing director Mr
    Bruce Phillips said:

    "It is easy to get excited about the results to date from the
    Jingemia-1 well. However, it is early days in the evaluation process
    and we await the receipt of further well data before the commercial
    significance of the discovery is understood."
