Ann: Update on Birch Eagle Ford Project, page-2

Austin produces 226,000 BOE from Eagle Ford wells with Halcón Resources
• Production achieved from four wells in 2014
• Fifth Eagle Ford well drilled and completed - undergoing flow back
• Drilling of sixth Eagle Ford well underway
• 1,680 acres now held indefinitely through production – well placed to secure interest in 5,000 acres through production growth
• Continued production growth anticipated with two more wells to enter production • Austin to become cash flow positive from production growth

Austin Exploration (“Austin” or “the Company”) (ASX:AKK) today reported solid production results from its four producing horizontal wells at the Birch Eagle Ford Project in Burleson County, Texas, with over 226,025 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE Gross) produced from these wells on a 90% oil/10% gas ratio. Austin maintains working interests in these four wells in a farm-out agreement with Halcón Resources. Two additional Eagle Ford wells are yet to enter production – the Curington, which is undergoing flow back testing, and the Seaducer, which is currently being drilled. As a result of this production success at the Birch Project, Austin has secured 1,680 gross acres indefinitely. Also, through continued drilling activity and production, Austin is confident it will hold its interest in all 5,000 acres indefinitely. The production success has added significant value to Austin’s portfolio which is evidenced through a dramatic escalation in land values in Burleson County where Austin’s Birch property is located. Austin confirms that the company should shortly become cash flow positive given its growing production profile, a major milestone for the group. Austin’s CEO & Managing Director, Dr. Mark Hart, said, “We are pleased with the growing production from our Eagle Ford wells, and we anticipate continued production growth with two more wells at this project still to come on line. It is also worth noting that all four wells have only been in production concurrently for 2 months so we expect to report greater production in the coming months

“Whilst the production performance from our assets in Texas is encouraging, Austin is very well placed to ramp up production from our diverse portfolio of oil and gas assets in Colorado, Mississippi and Kentucky as well. We have significant untapped potential in our portfolio and we will shortly have the financial flexibility to better exploit opportunities. Austin is very well placed for the future.”
