Quarterly Reports

For The Period Ending 30 June 2016 and Appendix 5B

The Board of Red Emperor Resources NL ("Red Emperor" or the "Company") provides the following commentary and Appendix 5B for the period ending 30 June 2016.

Philippines (SC 55)

The Company announced during the quarter that the Joint Venture (JV) had formally received approval from the Philippines Department of Energy for a two-year moratorium, until 23 December 2017, on required work activity under Service Contract 55. During the moratorium period, the consortium will conduct specialised geophysical studies in the area surrounding the Hawkeye Prospect, which encountered gas shows when it was drilled last year. Although the Hawkeye well did not encounter gas in commercial quantities, it proved the presence of an active petroleum system in the contract area that hosts the "Cinco Prospect" as well as several other leads.

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

During the quarter Red Emperor, a 20% shareholder of Strait Oil and Gas Limited (Strait), was advised that the Georgian Government had confirmed the validity of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) across Block VIa and the ability for Strait to access existing gas pipeline infrastructure, free of taxes. This important confirmation paves the way for ongoing sales negotiations with a potential purchaser of the PSC to continue. Red Emperor is not involved in these negotiations and can provide no certainty as to the likelihood of a successful outcome. Due diligence by both parties remains ongoing.

Corporate

Red Emperor reviewed a number of new opportunities with both its Australian and UK advisers respectively during the quarter. Whilst none of the projects reviewed resulted in a transaction, the Board remains committed to finding suitable new asset(s) to compliment the Company's current portfolio while oil & gas prices remain subdued.

Notes

1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.

2 The "Nature of interest" (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of interests in mining tenements and petroleum tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement or petroleum tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

3 Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.

4 The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources and AASB 107: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

5 Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Financial Reporting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.
