    ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 25 MARCH 2008
    Flow test update
    Geodynamics is pleased to advise that the open flow test from Habanero 3 with reinjection
    at Habanero 1 has been proceeding to schedule and will be completed later
    today. The re-injection phase of the open flow test commenced on 22 March. The
    wells are sustaining circulating production of 20 kg/second at a flowing pressure of
    27.5 MPa (4,000 psi) through a 14mm fixed choke. Current flowing temperature is
    212 °C with the bottom hole temperature of 244 °C. The Company is pleased with
    the above results which are in line with its expectations and will allow it proceed with
    the building of its 1MW pilot power station for commissioning by the end of the year.
    Immediately following the completion of the open flow test and once pumping has
    ceased, the Company aims to undertake a test to determine the maximum output
    flow rate without circulation by fully opening the existing choke facilities on Habanero
    3.
    The closed loop test is scheduled to commence mid May (delay due to shipping
    delay on delivery of heat exchanger from USA) and will run for a period of six weeks.
    The main purpose of this test is to run chemical tracers which will determine the
    contact fracture surface area. This will allow the Company to determine the
    temperature drawdown during operations over a number of years.

    Jolokia 1 update
    The 24" top hole section has been successfully drilled to 591 metres and operations
    are preparing to run casing.
    Jolokia 1 is located approximately 9 km from Habanero and is targeting fractured
    granites at a similar depth known to be 10°C hotter than the Habanero wells. Its
    target well depth is 4,250 metres.
