ESG - TRADING HALT
Dear Suzanna,
I hereby request a trading halt for Eastern Star Gas Limited from the open on Monday 9
March 2009.
In relation to listing rule 17.1, I advise as follows:
1. The trading halt is requested pending the release of an announcement concerning
drilling activity on ESG’s first multi-lateral production pilot.
2. The trading halt is requested to remain in place until 11am on Monday 9 March 2009,
unless before that time Eastern Star makes an announcement or requests that the
trading halt be lifted.
3. Eastern Star is not aware of any reason as to why the trading halt should not be
granted.
Yours sincerely
