    Quarterly Activities Report
    for the period ended 30 June 2007
    HIGHLIGHTS
    · CSIRO study confirms the rock stresses at the Olympic Dam Geothermal
    Energy Project are likely to be ideal for a heat exchange reservoir
    · Preparations underway for mini hydro-fracture at Olympic Dam
    · Ortaháza wells in Hungary suspended for possible future direct heat use
    · Claim for refund of Ortaháza expenditures from World Bank
    · Site selection for 2nd Hungary project commenced
    · Submission made to Federal Parliamentary Committee enquiry intoRenewable Energy

    ACTIVITIES
    During the quarter, Green Rock Energy progressed its activities in Hungary and
    Olympic Dam to develop low emission base load electricity from geothermal
    energy resources.
    Hungarian Joint Venture (32% interest)
    The Joint Venturers were busy during the quarter with site selection for the Joint
    Venture’s next geothermal energy project in Hungary. The Company’s hydrogeologist
    provided major input into this process. This selection involves choosing
    a site with suitable geothermal water temperature and chemistry, reservoir
    potential and reservoir flow characteristics. The task of site selection in Hungary
    is greatly assisted by the abundance of relevant seismic and well data available
    from Hungarian Oil & Gas company, MOL, which has drilled and owns over
    5,000 petroleum wells in Hungary, many of which discovered suitable hot water.
    A claim was initiated by the Joint Venture for a refund from the World Bank
    Group’s Geofund technical risk insurance of a substantial proportion of the funds
    expended in preparing and carrying out the Ortaháza production testing. Under
    the contract with the World Bank group, the refund is payable by the end of the
    next quarter following the World Bank obtaining a report from an independent
    expert organisation attesting to the quantum of eligible expenditures which can
    be claimed. This claim followed the joint venturers electing to suspend the
    Ortaháza 3 and Ortaháza 5 wells for possible future production for direct heat
    uses after water flows from the wells proved insufficient for commercial electricity
    production. The Company expects a refund of around A$1.5 million within the
    next few months.
    Olympic Dam Geothermal Project, (100%) Australia
    In preparation for the Company’s mini hydro-fracture program to be carried out in
    the existing well Blanche No 1 in the next few months, the CSIRO, Australia’s
    premier scientific and industrial research organisation, delivered an encouraging
    report on in-situ stress modelling in the hot granites drilled by that well. This
    analysis was based on drill core, drill logs, drilling operational data, laboratory
    tests and previous modelling by the CSIRO. The key results reported by CSIRO
    analysis were:
    · It is likely that both the maximum and minimum principal horizontal
    stresses are higher than the vertical stress in granite intersected in
    Blanche No 1 well
    · This implies that the hydraulic fracture orientation and fluid flow in a
    stimulated zone are likely to be in a sub-horizontal direction
    · This is an ideal situation for generating an optimal heat exchange
    reservoir that would allow a maximum distance between the injection and
    production wells.
    These results will be followed-up and quantified by the planned mini hydrofracture
    program to be carried out in the next few months. The mini hydrofracture
    will involve pumping water into the hot granites already drilled in Blanche
    No 1 to generate fractures at various depths. The data obtained will provide
    more accurate measurements of the geological stress conditions which will be
    used for the design of the two deeper production and injection wells and fracture
    stimulation program. The deeper wells will be used to establish a water
    circulation system to recover heat from the hot granites.
    CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
    Submission to Federal Parliamentary Committee
    In June the Company made a submission on the costs, benefits and implications
    of the utilisation of geothermal energy to the Commonwealth Parliament House
    of Representatives Standing Committee on Industry and Resources for its case
    study into renewable energy sectors in Australia. This submission which is
    posted on the Company’s website (www.greenrock.com.au) emphasised the
    substantial potential for well located resources in Australia to provide emission
    free, renewable base load electricity.
    ssue of Options to Director
    The Company resolved, subject to approval of the shareholders, to issue
    1,000,000 ordinary share options to Dr Jörg Baumgärtner who joined the Board
    as an non-executive director in April. Dr Baumgärtner, is one of the leading
    exponents on developing and producing geothermal energy from Engineered
    Geothermal Systems (EGS) or Hot Dry Rocks.
    Meetings
    During the quarter the Company held its last board meeting for the 2006/07 year
    and Hungarian Joint Venture meeting in Unterhaching near Munich in Germany
    where the European Geothermal Congress was convened and at which the
    Hungarian Joint Venture delivered a paper on its joint venture activities.
