Red Emperor Resources NL ("Red Emperor")

Quarterly Reports

For the Period Ending 31 March 2018 and Appendix 5B

The Board of Red Emperor Resources NL ("Red Emperor" or the "Company") provides the following commentary and Appendix 5B for the March 2018 Quarter.

California

During the quarter, after extensive work to establish a full and legal chain of title to a number of leases believed to be prospective for oil & gas in the Sacramento Gas Basin of California, Red Emperor continued to negotiate with relevant landowners in an attempt to secure binding lease agreements across two prospect areas. This was done via a local "landman" in California and in conjunction with the proposed Joint Venture partner, Oil Ventures Limited (Oil Ventures). Landowners were presented with formal lease agreements and were given ample time to consider terms, which were believed to be reasonable and consistent with the typical terms for Californian oil and gas leases; payment of an annual rental based on net mineral acreage and payment of a royalty on any hydrocarbon production. The leases contemplated had a 5-year term. To date however, Oil Ventures has been unsuccessful in both agreeing terms and securing any executed lease agreements with the relevant landowners. As a result, Red Emperor is now considering its options with respect to the two prospect areas.

While the specific location of the leases still remains confidential, the Company again advises that in return for funding 100% of the lease acquisition costs, as well as the acquisition and reprocessing of relevant seismic data, Red Emperor was to earn a 60% interest in the newly established Joint Venture and any subsequent leases acquired. The total budget, inclusive of Landman fees, for the proposed acquisition was USD640,000, after which RMP would be responsible for its 60% equity interest.

Philippines (SC 55)

Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company finally received official confirmation from the Philippine Department of Energy (DoE) ratifying the request for the transfer of participating interests in Service Contract no. 55 (SC55) from Otto Energy Limited (ASX: OEL) (Otto Energy) to its partners, Century Red Pte. Ltd (a 100% owned subsidiary of Red Emperor), PaIawan55 Exploration & Production Corporation (Palawan55) and Pryce Gases, Inc.

Red Emperor's equity interest in SC55 is now 37.5% (previously 15%) after the DoE found the partners to be "Financially qualified to assume the proposed interests. Legally qualified to assume the participating interest from Otto Energy considering that they are existing petroleum companies operating either as operator and/or consortium members in petroleum service contracts; And technically qualified, as exemplified by the joint cooperation and completion of previous exploration activities, such as the drilled Hawkeye-1 well."

As a result, the participating interests in SC55 are as follows:

 
          Company             Participating Interests 
---------------------------  ------------------------ 
 Palawan55 (Operator)                 37.50% 
---------------------------  ------------------------ 
 Century Red Pte. Ltd (Red 
  Emperor)                            37.50% 
---------------------------  ------------------------ 
 Pryce Gases, Inc.                    25.00% 
---------------------------  ------------------------ 
                      Total            100% 
---------------------------  ------------------------ 
 

It is also understood that Palawan55 will be the "Operator" of SC 55 as endorsed by the other remaining partners.

Likewise, the timeline for the moratorium period and Sub-Phase (SP) 5 has now been revised to reflect the transfer of interest. It is understood that the minimum work program and budget for the moratorium period and SP 5 are unaffected by the transfer of interest, as shown below:

 
       Sub-Phase (SP)             Work Program and Budget (WP&B) 
----------------------------  ------------------------------------- 
      Moratorium Period        Conduct a Qualitative Interpretation 
     (Date of approval of            (QI) study of the greater 
   transfer until 13 months         Hawkeye area, lithology and 
         thereafter)                petrophysical modeling and 
                                    a contingent program of AVO 
                                       studies = US$ 478,750 
----------------------------  ------------------------------------- 
            SP 5                  Drill one (1) Ultra-deepwater 
  (date of end of moratorium          well = US$ 3,000,000.00 
    period until 12 months 
         thereafter) 
----------------------------  ------------------------------------- 
 

As nominated "Operator" Palawan55 has suggested that the partners hold an Operating Committee Meeting to formalise their appointment as successor Operator, establish an Operating Committee and agree on related amendments to the JOA.

With respect to the committed work program, Palawan55 are currently conducting an inventory of the technical data that had been turned over by Otto Energy. They have also advised that they are engaging with consulting groups with respect to the programmed specialised geophysical studies in order to refine the budget.

Red Emperor participated in a USD $25m exploration well (Hawkeye-1) within the block in 2015 and contributed in excess of AUD $5m towards drilling costs. Over USD $50m has been spent exploring SC55 to date and a number of drill-ready targets remain, including the "Cinco" gas prospect which has a best estimate prospective resource of 1.6tcf recoverable gas. Given the Hawkeye well discovered gas and a working petroleum system relatively close to Cinco, Red Emperor believes that SC55 remains a key asset for the Company to maintain exposure to.

Proposed Management Changes

During the quarter the Company underwent a strategic review of its board and management and as a result proposes to make significant changes over the coming months to the structure of the business. Specifically, a Chief Executive Officer with over 20 years' industry experience has been identified to oversee the day-to-day management of the assets and portfolio of the Company with a specific mandate of identifying and introducing new opportunities. While an appointment is potentially weeks away, the Company is mindful of informing shareholders of its strategic plans and intentions at this stage. There is also expected to be Board changes made in the coming weeks.
