   --      Rig contract executed with Nordic-Calista Services 
   --      Permitting process proceeding on schedule 
   --      Prospect to be named "Winx" with drilling anticipated to commence 1Q2019

Alaska North Slope

During the quarter Red Emperor, along with 88 Energy Limited (ASX: 88E) ("88 Energy") and Otto Energy Limited (ASX: OEL) ("Otto") (collectively the "Consortium Partners"), executed formal "Definitive Agreements", including a Participation Agreement, with Great Bear Petroleum Ventures II LLC ("Great Bear") to acquire the majority of Great Bear's working interest in four leases on the western flank of the Alaska North Slope, specifically ADL#s 391718, 391719, 319720 & 391721; collectively the "Western Blocks". Refer to the ASX release of 30 July 2018 for further details.

The consortium operator, 88 Energy Limited (ASX/AIM: 88E) via its wholly owned subsidiary, Captivate Energy Alaska, Inc, executed a rig contract with Nordic-Calista Services for the drilling of the "Winx" Prospect, located on the Western Blocks, North Slope of Alaska.

Execution of the rig contract at this time allows for a steady and measured permitting process and provides ample time for all rig preparatory work to be completed prior to rig mobilisation and drilling in 1Q2019. A rig walkthrough is tentatively planned by the operator for the end of October. The permitting process is proceeding on schedule with the operator regularly interfacing with the appropriate regulatory bodies.

A joint Technical / Operating Committee Meeting was held by the consortium to discuss well planning, permitting, rig preparation and mobilisation. All aspects of the process are on schedule with drilling of the "Winx" prospect still anticipated to commence 1Q2019.

The Winx Prospect is a 3D seismic defined oil prospect in the successful Nanushuk play fairway with a gross mean unrisked prospective resource of 400MMbbls (126MMbbls net to Red Emperor) and a geological chance of success in the range of 25-30%. Refer to the ASX release of 25 June 2018 for further details.

Cautionary Statement: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of a future development project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation are required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Philippines (SC 55)

Following the Operating Committee meeting held during the June Quarter 2018 a formal vote was taken ratifying the following for Block SC 55:

   1)   Palawan55 Exploration and Production Corporation as the operator for Block SC 55 
   2)   The following participating interest for each company: 
 
                     Company                       Participating Interests

                                                  ------------------------ 
 
   3)   The Work Program and Budget for the remainder of the moratorium Period 

Following the completion of the evaluation of geophysical contractors during the previous Quarter, and recent approval of the Work Program and Budget, Palawan55 as operator awarded a seismic data reprocessing and quantitative interpretation (QI) contract to DownUnder GeoSolutions. This work is part of the ongoing effort by the Block SC 55 consortium to help further de-risk previously identified drill-ready targets, including the "Cinco" gas prospect which has a best estimate prospective resource of 1.6tcf recoverable gas, and identify new highly prospective leads while reducing overall uncertainty. By leveraging our extensive and robust data set we ensure that the consortium is on the strongest technical footing as it moves forward.

Other

The company still remains active in reviewing other opportunities and at the end of the Quarter had cash at bank of $8m AUD. Refer to the attached Appendix 5B for further details.

About Red Emperor Resources NL

Red Emperor Resources NL is an Australian natural resource exploration company listed on both the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: RMP) and Alternative Investment Market (AIM: RMP). Red Emperor has oil and gas interests on the Alaska North Slope and in South East Asia.

Red Emperor has executed Definitive Agreements with its consortium partners 88 Energy Limited and Otto Energy Limited that will see the Company participate in the drilling of a highly prospective Nanushuk oil trend exploration well on the Alaska North Slope in early 2019. The drill target is immediately adjacent to and a direct analogue of the Horseshoe-1/1A oil well drilled in 2017. Horseshoe is part of the billion-barrel plus Nanushuk oil play-fairway, one of the largest conventional oil fields discovered in the US in more than 30 years.

Technical work on the Western Blocks has identified a gross best estimate prospective resource volume of 400 MMbbls (126 MMbbls net to RMP), and a geological chance of success of 25%-35%. The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of future development projects relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

Red Emperor also holds an equity interest of 37.5% of Block SC55, which is located in the southwest Palawan Basin. SC55 covers an area of 9,880km(2) and was awarded to Otto Energy Investments Ltd (formerly NorAsian Energy Ltd) in 2005. It is a deep-water block in the middle of a proven regional oil and gas fairway that extends from the productive offshore Borneo region in the southwest to the offshore Philippine production assets northwest of Palawan.

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.
