EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Tlou Energy is developing one of the largest gas fields in Botswana - the Lesedi CBM field
Project has 2P Reserves of ~41 BCF and 3P Reserves of ~427 BCF
Grid connection to
Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) and effectively the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) is imminent
Tlou was co-founded by
Tony Gilby, who previously led Sunshine Gas from a listed junior CBM explorer to a takeover for A$1.1bn
BOTSWANA
Tlou is set to start power generation in the coming months - Power purchase Agreement (PPA) in place
Power demand in
Botswana set to grow from 850 MW currently to 1,200 MW by 2030
VISION
" To become a major power producer across Sub-Saharan Africa
Botswana's leading CBM gas-to-power developer Clear revenue path - electricity sales from 2025
10MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed with Botswana Power Corporation (BPC)
Exclusive Digital Infrastructure Partnership signed with Kala Data
Strong government backing & direct regional grid access
Strategic location in a region with high power demand
Key approvals in place
Near term catalysts
WHAT IS CBM
" …CBM technology has been successfully used worldwide in regions with significant coal reserves.
CBM is the extraction of methane gas from underground coal deposits. Most coal beds are often located close to the surface and contain gas and water.
This water needs to be removed (the dewatering phase) to decrease pressure and allow the gas to flow to the surface.
After the well is put on production, it first produces a lot of water and with time water production starts to fall, and methane production increases. CBM produced can then be gathered and used to generate power.
TLOU'S GAS FIELD
Tlou's project area is prospective for gas.
The Company acquired well, aeromagnetic and seismic data which was used by the Independent Expert SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (SRK) to delineate Gas Reserves and Contingent Resources.
A summary of current reserves and resources in billion cubic feet (BCF) is outlined below*. Please refer to public market announcements and the Reserves Statement in the Company's last annual report for full details.
2P Reserves: | 40.8 BCF (~6.8 MMboe**) |
3P Reserves: | 426.6 BCF (~71.1 MMboe) |
2C Resources: | 214 BCF (~35.7 MMboe) |
The gas in the ground if extracted commercially could produce power for decades.
* See 'Independent Gas Reserves Certification' slides ** MMboe figures based on 1 MMboe : 6 BCF

Notes:
Gas Resource numbers have been rounded to the nearest tenth for amounts less than 100 BCF, otherwise to the nearest whole number. Refer to Competent Persons Statement in the disclaimer slide of this presentation.
1) Tlou's Gas Reserves have not been adjusted for fuel or shrinkage and have been calculated at the wellhead (which is the reference point for the purposes of Listing Rule 5.26.5).
2) Contingent Gas Resources are (100%) Unrisked Gross and are derived from the SRK certification at 31 March 2015 for all coal seams (as announced on 9 April 2015) with adjustment for the gas volumes which have been certified by SRK in the Gas Reserves category (as announced on 20 February 2018).
3) The Gas Reserves and Contingent Gas Resources for all coal seams in PL001/2004 and ML 2017/18L shown in the table above includes the numbers for the Lower Morupule coal seam which are shown in the first row of the table.
4) The most recent Reserves assessment by SRK did not include a review and assessment of additional Contingent Resources in the Lesedi Project Area or Contingent Resources in the Mamba Project area.
