RED EMPEROR RESOURCES NL - Quarterly Reports and Appendix 5B

As announced previously, Otto Energy Limited (ASX: OEL) has advised the JV of its intention to exit the Block SC 55 as part of its strategy to focus on its North American assets. Red Emperor intends to have its full, proportionate interest be assigned and as a result its working interest will increase from 15% to 37.5%.

Georgia

Red Emperor, a 20% shareholder of Strait Oil and Gas Limited (Strait), a Gibraltarian company with a valid Production Sharing Contract (PSC) across Block VIa in the Republic of Georgia, continues to be advised of ongoing negotiations with a potential purchaser of the PSC. Red Emperor understands that delays in reaching an agreement with the potential purchaser have been due to volatility in the oil and gas price and political instability in the region. Red Emperor is not involved in these negotiations and can provide no certainty as to the likelihood of a successful outcome. The market will be updated when further information becomes available.

Corporate

Over the course of the last 3 months, Red Emperor has reviewed and conducted high level due diligence on a number of projects and opportunities, both in the oil & gas and resources sector. While committed to its existing JV in the Philippines, the Board believes additional asset(s) would better diversify the Company and could potentially take advantage of the Company’s substantial cash balance. To date, the Red Emperor has not progressed any of these opportunities beyond due diligence, however it remains committed and focused on identifying value for shareholders while at the same time, responsibly managing the Company’s healthy cash position.
