("Origin") in October 2016 is an exciting development and we look
forward to updating the market when the resource evaluation is
concluded.
-- The introduction of a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing will delay the
completion of the nine well drilling programme. Origin intends meeting
with the Department of Primary Industry and Resources of the Northern
Territory, Australia soon to agree a revised timetable due to the delays
the moratorium will have on the drilling and exploration programme. We
will update the market once a revised timetable has been agreed.

Karoo Basin continues and the South African Department of Mineral
Resources is expected to issue licences in 2017.

September 2016 (31 December 2015: US$12.7 million).
