Rey completed buying Backreef's 50% of the roughly 5,000 km2 Derby Block for $2M on production licence grant or a 2% royalty. It also settled about $391,000 of claims and granted Oil Basins a 0.5% royalty. A joint operating agreement was signed; Rey takes over as operator from 1 January 2016.
Oil Basins confirms the Derby Block dispute is settled and Rey becomes its 50/50 partner, with Oil Basins operating. It says it receives $391,000 and a 1% royalty on Rey's share. It will seek a farminee, with a 500 km seismic survey budgeted around $4M.
March quarter: Dunnart-2 flow test has all approvals and is planned for Q2 2015. Senagi-1 and Victory wells are targeted for Q3 2015 in the Fitzroy Blocks, and the Wright prospect is drill-ready. Derby Block tribunal win is noted; acquisition not yet completed.
All approvals for the Dunnart-2 test are now in hand and equipment is in Perth. The rig is to be inspected and mobilised within about three weeks. Key is also talking to rig contractors about a wider campaign.
Regulator approved the Dunnart-2 Completion and Testing Program. Only the health and safety plan approval remains, with testing targeted for mid to late April.
Key received regulator approval of its amended Environment Plan for the Dunnart-2 test. Health and safety and testing program approvals are still awaited; testing is anticipated from mid-April.
On 17 March 2015 the tribunal dismissed Oil Basins' bid to overturn Backreef's title to the Derby Block. This resolves the key condition on Rey's 50% acquisition; Rey is considering next steps to complete it.
Half-year to 31 December 2014: net loss $5.33M (prior year $2.17M). Cash was $933,000, rising to $4.05M after the $4M placement. Derby Block tribunal outcome was then expected in March 2015. Otherwise repeats known project positions.
Key now plans the Dunnart-2 production test for around mid-April 2015, slipping from its late-February aim, still subject to final regulator approvals. A 12 m interval (614-626 m) will be perforated. Key also maps at least 10 undrilled EP437 prospects and leads.
Key signed a fixed lump-sum contract with Drilling Contractors Australia for Rig 6 to run the Dunnart-2 production test, with service contracts also awarded. Timing is not stated and awaits Department of Mines and Petroleum approvals. Rey holds 43.47%.
December quarter: Senagi-1 is now expected in Q3 2015 and Dunnart-2 production test design is underway. FIRB approval for the Derby Block deal has been received, and the tribunal ruling is expected in February 2015. The $4M raising is noted.
Oil Basins says no agreement has been reached with Rey despite meetings since mid-December. It cites Rey's demand that it drop the tribunal action and Rey's reluctance to allow a later farmout. Oil Basins says it would hold 100% of title if it wins.

Rey completed its $4M placement of 50M shares at 8c to two Hong Kong investors, 25M each. Start Grand Global now holds about 40.1M shares, 5.6% of the enlarged capital.
What it means for a shareholder
50.0m new shares at A$0.080 to raise about A$4.0m. That's 7.0% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 7.0% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (12,500 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00188% to 0.00175% of the company. To keep it you'd need 942 more shares - about A$75 at the issue price.
Backreef's agreement to sell the Derby Block to Buru expired on 31 December 2014, satisfying one condition of Rey's 50% acquisition. The tribunal hearing outcome and FIRB approval remain outstanding.

Rey will raise $4M through a placement of up to 50M shares at 8c, below the 10c and 10.3c of the 2014 placements. Funds go to the Dunnart-2 test, two more EP437 wells, two Fitzroy wells and working capital.

Key has tendered for the Dunnart-2 production test, with three suitable completion rigs identified. About 5 m of net pay would be perforated in a roughly one-week test, aimed at late February 2015, subject to regulatory approvals.
Rey extended its on-market share buyback; 1,452,151 shares were bought back over the previous 12 months. The extension is a routine administrative notice.
Oil Basins says Backreef does not presently hold a 50% beneficial interest in the Derby Block and calls Rey's deal highly conditional. A tribunal decision is expected by 27 January 2015. This disputes the basis of Rey's 28 November acquisition.

Rey agreed to acquire Backreef's 50% of the roughly 5,000 km2 Derby Block (EP487), Canning Basin, for $2M on production licence grant or a 2% royalty. It is conditional on a tribunal ruling over title, termination of other sale agreements and FIRB approval. Co-owner Oil Basins disputes it.
AGM presentation repeating known facts: Dunnart-2 oil shows, a production test and two exploration wells planned for 2015, and about 650 km of Fitzroy seismic. It shows cash of $1.5M at 24 November and about 659.9M shares.
September quarter: Dunnart-2 was cased and suspended after 20 m of oil shows, with Rey earning 43.47% of EP437. 145 km of Fitzroy seismic was acquired; Senagi-1 is expected in Q2 2015. The $3M raising was completed.
