DISCLAIMERS AND IMPORTANT NOTICES
Forward Looking Statements:
This presentation has been prepared by Bass Oil Ltd (ASX:BAS) (“Bass” or the “Company”) with the purpose of providing general information about the Company. It should not be
considered as an offer or invitation to subscribe for or purchase any securities in the Company, or as an inducement to make an offer or invitation with respect to those securities. The

results and performance are likely to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, BAS and its directors, agents, officers or employees make no representation and can give no assurance, guarantee or warranty,
express or implied, as to, and take no responsibility and assume no liability for, the authenticity, validity, accuracy, suitability or completeness of, or any errors in or omission from, any

This presentation does not purport to be all inclusive or to contain all information which its recipients may require in order to make an informed assessment of the Company’s
prospects. It should not be relied upon as a complete and accurate representation of any matters that a potential investor should consider in evaluating BAS. The Company accepts
no responsibility to update any person regarding the information contained in this presentation.
Cautionary Statement:
The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates
have both a risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially
recoverable hydrocarbons.
Qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources Evaluator Statement:
The information contained in this report regarding the Bass Oil Limited reserves and contingent resources is based on and fairly represents information and supporting documentation
reviewed by Mr Giustino Guglielmo who is an employee of Bass Oil Limited and holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mech). He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers
(SPE) and a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia (FIEAust) and as such is qualified in accordance with ASX listing rule 5.4.1 and has consented to the inclusion of this
information in the form and context in which it appears.
Notes on Reserves and Resources (Reserves and Contingent Resources as at 31 Dec 2022 were reported to the ASX on 31 March 2023):
Under the SPE PRMS guidelines, “Reserves are those quantities of petroleum anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of development projects to known
accumulations from a given date forward under defined conditions”. Net Entitlement Reserves are the reserves that Bass has a net economic entitlement to. That is, a share of cost
oil and profit oil that Bass is entitled to receive under the KSO signed with the Indonesian government body, PT Pertamina. Contingent Resources are “those quantities of petroleum
estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations by application of development projects, but which are not currently considered to be
commercially recoverable owing to one or more contingencies”.
Bass Oil is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information provided in those releases, and all material assumptions and technical parameters
underpinning the estimates provided in the releases continue to apply

gathering network
➢ The economic potential of leads on trend with Kiwi towards PEL 182
▪
Mapping by previous operators assessed:
➢ Mean 2C resource of 3 BCF in Kiwi ‘structure’ – low side case
➢ Identified significant upside with a ‘best’ prospective resource
of 23.9 BCF stratigraphic trapping potential
➢ Bass has identified Kiwi ‘lookalikes’ for follow up
▪

source of gas in the deep coals
▪
Deep coal play recognised by Santos and others as the
potential renaissance of the Cooper Basin
▪
Bass evaluating pathways towards commercialise the
deep coals in PEL 182
▪
Moolion East prospect is the best location to test the deep
coal play in PEL 182, it exhibit similar properties top
Santos’ Beanbush field which yielded encouraging results
