Company Profile

Linc Energy is a globally focused, diversified energy company with a strong portfolio of coal, oil and gas deposits. It is Linc Energy’s purpose to unlock the value of its resources to produce energy to fuel the future.

A publicly listed company, Linc Energy is the global leader in Underground Coal Gasification (UCG), which delivers a synthesis gas feedstock to supply commercially viable energy solutions – such as electricity, transport fuels and oil production – through gas turbine combined cycle power generation, Gas to Liquids (GTL) Fischer-Tropsch processing and Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Linc Energy has constructed and commissioned the world’s only UCG to GTL demonstration facility located in Queensland, Australia. This facility produces the world’s only UCG to GTL synthetic diesel fuel. Linc Energy also owns the world’s only commercial UCG operation, Yerostigaz, located in Uzbekistan. Yerostigaz has produced commercial UCG synthesis for power generation for 50 years.

Linc Energy is on a rapid global expansion path to commercialise its portfolio of resources, with established offices across three continents in the United States, the Europe and Australia.

TERESA – MINE PLAN

Coal seam depth of 130 metres means the

preferred method of mining the resource is via

underground extraction. Extraction method

proposed in the preliminary mine development

plan is retreat longwall extraction

A coal preparation plant (CHPP) will be

constructed on-site. The CHPP will handle

around 1,000 tph of coal and produce a PCI

product with a yield of approximately 80%

Reclaimed coal will be transferred to a load out

bin located over the mine rail balloon loop.

Approximately 15 train loads of coal will be

shipped per week. The Project will be capable of

exporting 6.4Mtpa of product coal

Final rail corridors and port options are currently under investigation. The final corridor

alignment will be located based on engineering and environmental constraints.

CLEAN ENERGY

Only company in the world to have successfully demonstrated the conversion of underground low-value coal to liquids via the (UCG/GTL) process

Linc Energy has patents across the technology

Our technology, operating experience and proof of delivery empowers us to beneficiate $1/t coal to $100/t ultra clean fuel for ~30 per barrel (19 cents per litre)

The UCG-GTL visual and environmental footprint is minimal

50 years experience at Yerostigaz, Uzbekistan UCG operator for over 12 years experience of UCG to synthetic fuel at Chinchilla operations, Australia; with 5 generations of technology development

Targeting a roll-out of first UCG–GTL commercial site selection and pre-FEED studies in 2012

The G5 design and operation reflects the readiness of Linc Energy processes for commercialisation

Linc Energy resources in UCG include large targets in Alaska (Cook Inlet), WYO (new large PRB opportunity for CO2 oil and gas tertiary recovery and power), Poland, South Africa and sourcing resources in Asia.

UCG converts low value coal into syngas via the coal deposit being heated

creating a chemical reaction called gasification (not combustion)

Horizontally & vertically drilled wells become the injection and production wells

The Syngas is suitable for production of transportation fuels (GTL), fertiliser

(chemical) and as a feedstock for power generation

Linc Energy UCG process can be conducted in a safe environment as

demonstrated by Yerostigaz (50yrs of operations, owned by Linc Energy) and

Chinchilla (12 years operations with over 30k water samples over 1 km2).

Linc Energy comprises three (3) energy divisions; Oil and Gas, Coal and Clean Energy (UCG/GTL) that are all moving to profitability by the end of 2012

1. Oil and Gas

a. To increase production in the U.S. to 6-7,000 bpd

b. WYO commercial CO2 injection to commence for 2012, which will have a long term production of +10k bpd

c. Drilling of ~1.2 Billion barrels OOIP in Alaska over the Northern Winter to create a significant 1P barrel reserve and enable financing of the pipeline.

2. Coal

a. Monetise Teresa

b. JV for coal package and divest or float

c. Drill out key coal targets in Qld, South Australia and the Powder River Basin.

3. Clean Energy

a. Now with UCG Gasifier 5 developed; goal of committing to first UCG to GTL project site by end of 2012

b. Finalise GTL costing and commence GTL project

c. Convert more commercial opportunities
