16 February 2009 ASX RELEASE General Manager, The Company Announcements Office Australian Stock Exchange Limited Electronic Lodgement System Dear Sir,
1. Award of New Exploration Permit Bandanna Energy Limited (Bandanna – ASX Code BND) is pleased to announce that its application EPCA 1195, through its wholly owned subsidiary Carnarvon Coal Pty Ltd, has now been approved by the Queensland Government authorities. The new EPC 1195 is located in the southern Bowen Basin and is contiguous with EPCA 1189, which is currently an application by Bandanna Energy (refer to accompanying figure). EPC 1195 covers an area of 339 km2 and lies approximately 41 km to the north of the township of Injune. The Charleville – Brisbane railway is located approximately 120 km from the EPC.
2. Application for New Exploration Permit Bandanna Energy Limited wishes to advise that its wholly owned subsidiary, Advocate Holdings Pty Ltd, has made application for an Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPMA 17932). This EPMA, which lies adjacent to Bandanna’s recently awarded EPM 17568 (refer to accompanying figure), is located in the southern Bowen Basin. Together these areas cover approximately 140 km2 and have been applied for in order to explore for potential deposits of the mineral bentonite.
3. Wet Weather results in Force Majeure Custom Mining Dingo Pty Ltd, a partially owned subsidiary of Macarthur Coal Limited, has informed the Company that due to heavy rain and localised flooding it has been necessary to invoke, in accordance with the Joint Venture Agreement, force majeure for its current exploration operations in EPC 881 (Dingo West). At this stage field activities may be temporarily suspended for a minimum of approximately 2 weeks until ground conditions improve.

―With respect to exploration target tonnages these are conceptual in nature. There is insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource across the
target area (excluding any existing inferred or indicated resources) and it remains uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a
Mineral Resource across the whole area. In the case of Springsure Creek the range of exploration target was determined from bore hole and seismic

information within the exploration lease which points to a continuous A2 seam, averaging 3.09 m in thickness, mineable with underground methods,
underlying an area of at least 97.8 km2 to 140.8 km2.
