3.LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to become a shareholder


of Kinetiko Energy Ltd.
The Company was incorporated with a view to giving investors the opportunity for early
participation in emerging energy exploration and development opportunities. By this
Information Memorandum, the Company seeks to raise sufficient capital and gain
sufficient shareholder spread to enable it to seek out and evaluate opportunities before it
today in the Republic of South Africa. In particular and with focus on the proposed Joint
Venture with Badimo Gas on its Coal Bed Methane Licences in Amersfoort South Africa.

With an experienced Board of Directors, a spread of supportive shareholders, and the


ability to raise further funds, I believe the Company will be able to progress these
opportunities and to develop then further to the advantage of The Company and its
shareholders.

In determining the suitability of these opportunities and further development, your


directors will use their knowledge and experience to analyse these opportunities in
Southern Africa. To get The Company to this point they have involved themselves in a
process to locate and identify prospective Coal bed Methane fields and Joint Venture
partners with the following criteria:

Exploration targets in known coal fields with gassy coal deposits of the correct nature
Prospective Joint Venture partners with the correct attributes and abilities
Locations within infrastructure serviced regions assisting with development
Ability to achieve realistic commercial milestones to develop and explore the projects.

Due to the uncertainties inherent in the process of identifying and acquiring a suitable
acquisition and the nature of exploring and developing existing projects, an investment in
the Company should be considered speculative in nature.

I look forward to welcoming you as a shareholder of the Company.


Yours faithfully

A.M.G (Geoff) Michael


Chairman

6.COMPANY OVERVIEW & OBJECTIVES

The Company is an unlisted Australian public company with the key


objective to capitalise the Company and provide a spread of additional
shareholders. In this position the Company will then be able to engage in the
exploration and possible development of energy related coal seam gas/ coal
bed methane opportunities as are currently before The Company in Southern
Africa.
The Company’s Board will actively seek out and examine these investment
opportunities drawing upon their significant corporate experience and network
of contacts to evaluate the viability of these projects and investment
opportunities that will add shareholder wealth. It will also use these
capabilities to seek out and locate other opportunities for The Company at
the appropriate time.
Investment Criteria
The Board will be seeking to provide solid returns for its shareholders over
time by participating in business and/or investment opportunities in energy
related projects.
The Company’s philosophy is to provide an appropriate return to shareholders
with an acceptable degree of risk in the medium to longer term in accordance
with the guidelines and processes detailed below.
Investment Guidelines
In determining the suitability of these opportunities, your Directors have
used their knowledge and experience plus carried out appropriate research
and field trips to Southern Africa to establish the correct opportunities to
pursue. The principal investment criteria for CSG/CBM opportunities in
Southern Africa are:
Exploration targets in known coal fields with gassy coal deposits of the correct nature
Prospective Joint Venture partners with the correct attributes and abilities
Locations within infrastructure serviced regions assisting with exploration,
development and commercialization
Ability to achieve realistic commercial milestones to develop and explore the
projects.

Future Funding
The Company may continue to raise additional capital in the future (at
prices to be determined) to ensure appropriate prudential reserves are
maintained to secure and protect shareholder funds. These future equity
raisings may be through a public offering or private placement of stock with
strategically selected investors. The impact of these future raisings may
dilute the position of current shareholders and Investors under this Information
Memorandum.

7.CURRENT PROJECTS.
Kinetiko has executed a Memorandum of Understanding, “The MOU”
with Badimo Gas Pty Ltd to form a Joint Venture to explore and
develop 4 CBM / CSG licences at Amersfoort in Eastern South Africa
as set out in the Overview and Context below.

The MOU is a precursor to a Joint venture agreement that will see


Kinetiko enter into an, ‘Earn in Agreement’ to spend ZAR 26,000,000
before December 2011.

It is proposed at present that once the funds have expended at the


direction of Kinetiko and Kinetiko exercises its rights and executes
its obligations to continue with the Amersfoort proj ect, Kinetiko will
have a 49% commercial interest in the Amersfoort project via a JV
company with Badimo that will direct and manage all activities of
the JV by Mutual consent. The current proposed structure and possible
events are set out in the diagram below.

Amersfoort Coal Bed Methane Project Overview


and Context
Introduction
The Amersfoort Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Project has the potential to
be a significant long term supplier of gas and chemical feedstock
into a growing and energy hungry domestic market in the Republic of
South Africa. With CBM Gas in Place (GIP) of 1.7 Tcf (trillion cubic feet)
calculated for the project exploration licences there is the
opportunity for exploration and production testing to rapidly and cost
effectively demonstrate a viable gas production potential which will
support a range of commercialisation scenarios. The project is further
enhanced by the potential for conventional gas originally generated

reservoirs adjacent to the
independent e
seams. The current CBM GIP estimate prepared by xperts Gustavson
and
Associates of Denver, Colorado, of 1.7tcf does not yet include
conventional gas.

Demands for all forms of energy are growing throughout sub Saharan Africa.
The South African parastatal electrical generator and transmission company
Eskom has in recent years been finding it increasingly difficult to meet peak
demands of the countries that constitute the Southern African Power Pool
including South Africa. Eskom not only faces considerable challenges in
financing and building new generating and transmission capacity but has also
had issues with supply of coal to its power stations. Demand is also growing in
the region for petrochemicals, fertilizers and transport fuels. The Amersfoort
CBM Project is located close the majority of South Africa’s power
generation infrastructure and the majorpopulation and manufacturing centre
of Johannesburg. The Majuba Power Station, a 4,110MW coal fired facility is
located within sight of the Amersfoort CBM Project. Originally the power
station was to be fed by the Majuba Colliery in the Amersfoort area before it
was closed prematurely for technical reasons that included methane gas issues.

Kinetiko Energy is earning a 49% interest in the Amersfoort Project by


spending R26 million (A$4m) on exploration within a 2 year period.
Exploration and development then be funded by Kinetiko (49%) and Badimo
(51%). Kinetiko will also pay Badimo Gas R10m on conclusion of the earn in
phase as partial re-imbursement of costs once regulatory approval for transfer
of Kinetiko’s 49% interest is completed.

Amersfoort Coal and CBM Geology


The most productive coal measures of Southern Africa are Permian in age
contained within the extensive Permo-Triassic basins containing the Karoo
Supergroup. These temperate climate coals are generally equivalent to the
similarly aged coals of Eastern Australia. At Amersfoort the most significant coal
seams are contained within the Vryheid Formation of the Ecca Group. The shales
and sandstones of the Vryheid are intruded by dolerite sills and dykes.

The Amersfoort Project is located in the Ermelo Coalfield within the coal bearing
region of Permian coals that has been supplying a significant portion of
Southern Africa’s energy needs for over a century. However the coals of the
Amersfoort area have proved difficult to mine commercially. The Majuba
Colliery near Amersfoort was intended to supply the nearby Majuba Power
Station; however a range of technical factors including methane gas
terminated operations in 1993. Exploration drilling for coal during the early
1980’s in the deeper parts of the Ermelo Coalfields around Amersfoort area
has defined with considerable detail the distribution and depth of the seams
beneath the Kinetiko-Badimo CBM licences and the geology of overlying
sandstones and intruding dolerite dykes and sills. As part of this exploration
854 diamond core holes were drilled on or near what are now the Amersfoort
gas exploration licenses. This data has provided detailed information on coal
depths, thicknesses that form the basis of the independent resource
assessment by Gustavson and Associates of 1.7tcf of gas in place (GIP) within
the Kinetiko-Badimo gas exploration licenses.

The geology of the Amersfoort area is exceptionally well defined due to coal
exploration drilling.
Page
Confidential: Kinetiko Energy Limited - Information Memorandum January 2010

Average depths to the most significant coal seams range from 315 to 385m,
total coal thicknesses range from less than 1 to 16m. The coals range from
high volatile bituminous to medium bituminous. Gas contents of the coals in
excess of 10m3/t were measured in studies associated with the various mining
attempts. For the GIP calculations a mean value of 5m3/t was used.
The conventional gas potential of the Amersfoort area stems from
consideration of the maturation history of the coals. Burial and basin heat flows
began the coal maturation but the process would have been on-going and
overlapping with the emplacement of the dolerite sills. There is clear
evidence of devolatilization of the coals in proximity to the dolerites (Kavonic
et al ,1987). During maturation coals typically generate over 10 times the
amount of methane gas that can be retained in the coals (Eddy etc al ,
1982, Rightmire, 1984). This normally migrates over time from the host
sequences. However there is the potential for the dolerites and siltstones to
have trapped this fugitive gas in conventional accumulations in the porous
sandstones.

Gas escaping from a drill hole Gas bubbling in drill hole standing water.

Evidence for the conventional gas potential in the Amersfoort area is


indicated by the escape of gas that has been occurring from a number of the
coal exploration drill holes that have not been sealed. Gas can be seen
vigorously bubbling up through the standing water in the drill holes, and
reports from local farmers indicate this has been occurring continuously since
the holes were drilled nearly 30 years ago. The gas is unlikely to be derived by
desorption from the coal seams as hydrostatic pressure would be keeping the
CBM in place.

Confidential: Kinetiko Energy Limited - Information Memorandum January 2010

Exploration and reserve definition strategies


As the Amersfoort Project already has a GIP estimate of 1.7tcf and well
defined coal distributions exploration has the opportunity to rapidly increase the
value of the project by moving towards independently certifiable reserves
within a 2 year period. The abundance of existing coal exploration drill holes
means there is limited need for drilling to define coal distribution in greater
detail. Exploration can commence with core drilling to recover material from
already defined coal sequences for CBM desorption testing and rapidly
progress to site selection for production test wells. Completion of production
test wells in tandem with commercialisation studies will then enable the
certification of reserves for the project. Kinetiko considers this progression
could be achieved within 2 years.

Amersfoort is a well defined exploration play with the potential for


rapid cost effective
definition of resources and reserves.

CBM Commercialisation

quently commercialisation scenarios for Amersfoort gas are varied in both nature and scale. However a

The 4,110Mw Majuba Power Plant viewed


from the Amersfoort Gas Project

the different energy demand sectors due to competition for inputs


like coal and gas and regulatory measures that have sought to try and
diversify energy demand to overcome increasing shortages in particular
sectors like electrical power. The optimal commercialisation route or
routes for Amersfoort CBM will depend on many factors not the least
being how different gas demand profiles compare with different
development, ramp up and production profiles that can only reliably be
determined at the production testing stage.

Demand is growing but funding for increased power generation


is hard to come by.

Commercialisation scenarios for Amersfoort include but are not limited to :

Independent Power Production either grid coupled or direct to a major customer.


Mini LNG interfaced IPP for peak load and distributed demand.
Gas sales into the existing coal powered generation plants for flame control
and ultimately for full co-generation.
CNG production and distribution by road and rail for to manufacturing
customers and fleet transport depots.
New generation plants (smaller capital) for synfuels and chemical feedstock
production probably in conjunction with a major industry partner or partners.

9. RISK FACTORS
As with any share investment, there are risks involved. This section identifies
the major areas of risk associated with an investment in Kinetiko; however
they should not be taken as an exhaustive list of the risk factors to which the
Company and its shareholders are exposed. Potential investors should read
the entire Memorandum and consult their professional advisor before
deciding whether to apply for Shares.

Investment Risk

The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Memorandum should be


considered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to liquidity, payment of
dividends, return of capital or the market value of the Shares. While the
Directors commend the Offer, prospective investors must make their own
assessment of the likely risks and determine whether an investment in Kinetiko
is appropriate to their own circumstances.

There are a number of risk factors that may impact on the future performance
of Kinetiko and the achievement of the Company’s financial objectives. Some of
these risks can be mitigated by appropriate safeguards and risk management
systems, but may are outside the control of the Company and cannot be
mitigated.

Investors need to consider the risks involved in an investment in Kinetiko before


making a decision whether or not to apply for Shares. The principal risk factors
include, but are not limited to, the following:

Non Diversification of Investments

The risk of non-diversified asset portfolio is generally higher than that of a fully
diversified investment portfolio.

The Company intends not to diversify its investments but rather focus on
identifying a few meaningful transactions.

Investors should note that a decision not to diversify may increase the overall
risk profile of the Company.

No liquid market to sell Shares and Options

Shareholders will not have a ready market to sell Shares and Options in the
Company because although the Shares and Options are freely transferable the
Company is at this stage a public unlisted company.
Additional Requirements for Capital/Debt Finance

The Company’s capital requirements depend on numerous factors. Depending


on the Company’s investment opportunities and its ability to generate
Page
income from
Confidential: its investments,
Kinetiko the- Company
Energy Limited may
Information require further
Memorandum financing
January 2010in
addition to the amounts raised pursuant to the offer. For a number of reasons
these funds may not be readily available.

Additional equity financing will dilute shareholdings and debt financing may
involve restrictions on future financing and operating activities. If the
Company is unable to obtain additional financing as required, the Company
may be required to review the scope of its operations.
Page
Confidential: Kinetiko Energy Limited - Information Memorandum January 2010

Reliance on Personnel
The Company’s success depends in part on the ability of the Directors to
operate effectively, both independently and as a group. The Company’s
success is wholly dependent on the ability of the Directors to identify and
acquire an investment business or project which fits the investment guidelines.
To manage its growth, the Company must also in due course identify, hire,
train, and retain skilled personnel and senior management. The Company
presently has no employees and no Director has a service contract with the
Company.

Other Business Risks

The Company, depending upon the investment it makes may be exposed to a


number of other business risks which include higher than anticipated operating
costs, an increase in competition and loss or damage to the Company’s
intellectual property and other assets, all of which may have a material
adverse affect on the business and financial position of the Company.

Timing

The Company has not presently identified a sustainable asset or project. The
timing of such asset identification is not known and the Directors can give no
assurance as to the ultimate timing or whether a suitable asset or project will
be identified at all.

Economic Risk and External Factors

Factors such as, but not limited to, economic slow-down or recession,
political movements, stock market trends, changing customer preferences,
interest rates, inflation levels, technological innovation, industrial disruption,
international competition and taxation changes may all have an adverse
impact on the Company and the Company cannot, to a degree of certainty,
predict how they will impact on the Company.

Investment May Not be Successful

Although the Company will adopt an extensive approach to analysing an


investment opportunity there is no guarantee that the investment will
