Prospective resources are undiscovered and have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons. An Independent Technical Specialist Report (ITSR dated 24 June 2021, RISC Advisory) was provided in the Jade Prospectus (14 July 2021) and contains further detail regarding sources of and information in respect of the unrisked Prospective Resource Estimate above, which has been extracted from the ITSR. The additional information includes the basis of the probabilistic estimates, further activities to be undertaken in respect of the TTCBM Project and an assessment of risks associated with the estimates. Jade has a 60% interest in MGR however the Net outcome for MGR is dependent upon the sharing requirements of the PSA which vary according to production rate, capital costs, operating costs and pricing and are therefore currently indeterminate. 11#12TTCBM Project Drilling Program - 2021/22 East Red Lake-1 Current six well drilling program focused on delivering contingent resource certification Red Lake-1 ■ Total depth ("TD") at 1,012 metres; 145 metres of coal core recovered; 58 metres gas bearing Gas composition: 98% methane in seam III and 0, 92.5% methane in seam IV; gas content of 11-15m³/t Red Lake-2 ■ TD at 790 metres; 131 metres of coal core recovered; 47 metres gas bearing Red Lake-3 ■ TD at 702 metres; 82 metres of coal core recovered; 30 metres gas bearing Red Lake-4 ■ TD at 864 metres; 182 metres of coal core recovered; 65 metres gas bearing West Ground level Red Lake-2 200 m 400 m 600 m 800 m Coal seam IV Coal seam III Coal seam 0 Coal seam Horizontal scale 1000 m 500 m NOTE: Vertical scale is exaggerated 1.5x Evaluation program underway and seeking to understand: Gas desorption: to assess gas content Permeability: to identify ease of fluid flow through the coals Gas saturation: via isotherm analysis 12#13TTCBM Project Drilling Program - 2021/22 0962L FOR SA Safety Briefing One Coal processing at Red Lake-1 TTCBM Project Camp Red Lake-1 Drilling ETHANE GAS RESOURCE METHANE GAS RESOURCE GAS DESORPTION LABORATORY Winter Drilling Prep Mobile Lab METAH TA3 PECYPC METAH TA3 PECYPC Mobile Lab Operations Technical Team 13#14Shivee and Eastern Gobi Permits Areally extensive and highly prospective permits located in known coal basins 25 km Jade Gas target area Current coal exploration and mining licenses ULAANBAATAR MONGOLIA Dalandzadgad TTCBM Project Shivee Gobi Saynshand Eastern Gobi CHINA D SHIVEE GOBI OULAANBAATAR MONGOLIA Dalandzadgad TTCBM Project EASTERN GOBI Shivee Gobi 25 km Saynshand of Eastern Gobi Jade Gas target area Map by flat EARTHmapping.com.au | License data from CMCS Mongolia ■ 100% ownership; permit area 8,317 km² ■ Second largest coal mine in Mongolia within permit Expenditure of US$110k for first three years CHIN Map by flatEARTHmapping.com.au | License data from CMCS Mongolia Current coal exploration and mining licenses ■ 100% ownership; permit area 9,691 km² ■ Significant coal deposits located within permit boundary Expenditure of US$160k for first three years 14#15Key Raising Details 15#16Uses of funds - $6.7 million Fast tracking and expanding exploration and appraisal of TTCBM Project and new permits ☐ TTCBM PROJECT $3.3 million Upgraded 2022 program with three exploration wells, two appraisal wells Expanded testing capability SHIVEE GOBI $0.3 million ■ Further desktop analysis ■ Two potential exploration wells EASTERN GOBI $0.3 million ■ Further desktop analysis ■ 2D seismic ■ One potential exploration well 2023 PROGRAM $0.5 million Long lead items for drilling and pilot production ■ Items include casing, well heads, pumps, pipeline CORP/ADMIN $2.3 million ■ Costs of capital raising ■ Adelaide and Mongolian office costs ■ Working capital 16#17Key raising details ~$6.7 million raising via an Institutional Placement Offer Size & Structure Pricing Capital Raising Details 1.

Certain risks are beyond the control of Jade and its Directors and Management and may have a material impact on Jade's future operating and financial performance, and/or the financial position of Jade, its prospects and/or the value of the Shares. Some of the key risks associated with an investment in Jade are described as follows. Exploration risk Development risk COVID-19 risk · • Key to Jade's financial performance is to have success in exploring for and locating commercial hydrocarbons. Exploration is subject to technical risks and uncertainty of outcome. Jade may not find any or sufficient hydrocarbon reserves and resources to commercialise which would adversely impact the financial performance of Jade. In the event that Jade is successful in locating commercial quantities of hydrocarbon through exploration, or purchases a development project, then that development could be delayed or unsuccessful for a number of reasons including extreme weather, unanticipated operational occurrences, failure to obtain necessary approvals, insufficient funds, a drop-in commodity price, supply chain failure, unavailability of appropriate labour, or an increase in costs. If one or more of these occurrences has a material impact then Jade's operational and financial performance may be negatively affected. The Company has observed that in response to COVID-19, governments globally have imposed restrictions on the movement of citizens and limited non-essential services and activities. Governments around the world have also recommended or enforced restrictions on both domestic and international travel in order to slow the spread of COVID-19. Given the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 restrictions, it is not currently possible to assess the full impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business. However, a prolonged financial reduction may impact on the commodity price and the availability of labour or other costs associated with the Company's business. These effects may be felt both domestically and internationally, for an unspecified duration. A number of aspects of the Company's business may also be directly or indirectly impacted by government, regulatory or health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines and travel restrictions associated with COVID-19. 21#22Investment risks (cont...) Operational risk Prospective resources risk Oil and gas prices risk • Adverse weather events, unforeseen increases in establishment costs, mechanical failures, human errors, industrial disputes or encountering unusual or unexpected geological formations and other unforeseen events, could lead to increased costs or delay to the Company's activities and exploration programs, or restrictions on its ability to carry out its present exploration programs. The Company will mitigate this risk by, amongst other things, taking out appropriate insurance in line with industry practice. Estimating hydrocarbon reserves and resources is subject to significant uncertainties associated with technical data and the interpretation of that data, future commodity prices, and development and operating costs. There can be no guarantee that Jade will successfully produce the volume of hydrocarbons that is estimated as its Prospective Resources or that hydrocarbon resources will be successfully converted to reserves. Estimates may alter significantly or become more uncertain when new information becomes available due to for example, additional drilling or production tests over the life of field. As estimates change, development and production plans may also vary. Downward revision of Prospective Resource estimates may adversely affect Jade's financial outlook. The price at which Jade can sells any future gas will have a material influence on the future financial performance of the Company. It is impossible to predict future commodity prices with confidence and the factors which impact it include, but are not limited to, global political situations, military conflicts, technological changes, output controls and global energy consumption which are all outside the control of Jade. A material and extended fall in realised gas prices for Jade may have an adverse impact on the Company's future financial performance, including potentially a reduction in the quantity of potential reserves. 22 22#23Investment risks (cont...) Access to funding for operations risk Regulatory risk Community opposition risk . • • Exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves and resources require significant capital and operational expenditure. With future growth, Jade may require funding for future commitments. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funding as and when required on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain funding on a timely basis and on reasonably acceptable terms may also cause Jade to miss out on new opportunities, delay or cancel projects, or to relinquish or forfeit rights in relation to the Company's assets, adversely impacting its operational and financial performance. Jade's assets are currently in the Mongolian jurisdiction. The enactment of new legislation or adoption of new requirements of a governmental authority may restrict or affect Jade's right to conduct exploration and development or the manner in which such activities can be conducted, including new requirements relating to climate change and energy policy. There is a risk that community disapproval may lead to direct action which impedes Jade's ability to carry out its lawful operations, resulting in project delay, reputational damage and increased costs and thus impact the financial performance of the Company. 23#24Investment risks (cont...) Counterparty exposure and joint ventures Key person dependence General risk factors • • • The financial performance of the Company is subject to its various counterparties or joint venture partners continuing to perform their respective obligations under various contracts. If one of its counterparties or joint venture partners fails to adequately perform their contractual obligations, this may result in loss of earnings, termination of particular contracts, disputes and/or litigation of which could impact on the Company's financial performance. The future success of the Company depends, to a significant extent, upon the continued services of the members of the management team of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or hire all personnel necessary for the development and operation of its business. The loss of senior managers could harm the Company's business and its future prospects. Prospective investors should also consider the following risks which apply to all investments in shares: - Investment risks, such as changes in the Company's own assessment of the economics of developing its assets or the market perception of the value of the Company's assets and shares; - Share market and liquidity risks involved in the listing and trading of shares on the ASX; and Economic factors including the effect on the market price of shares of movements in equities markets, commodity process, currency fluctuations and interest rates, and local and global political and economic conditions. 24#25Contacts Chris Jamieson Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer [email protected] Investor Relations Elvis Jurcevic [email protected]
