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.
