Except as required by law, and only to the extent so required, directors, agents and employees of ADX
shall in no way be liable to any person or body for any loss, claim, demand, damages, costs or expenses
of whatsoever nature arising in any way out of, or in connection with, the information contained in this
document. This document includes certain statements, opinions, projections, forecasts and other
material, which reflect various assumptions. The assumptions may or may not prove to be correct. ADX
recommends that potential investors consult their professional advisor(s) as investment in the company is
considered to be speculative in nature.
The information in this presentation is in summary form only and does not contain all the information
necessary to fully evaluate any transaction or investment. It should be read in conjunction with ADX’
other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements lodged with the ASX. This document does not
constitute an offer, invitation or recommendation to subscribe for or purchase securities and does not
form the basis of any contract or commitment.
Pursuant to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rule 5.41 and 5.43 the technical and Prospective
Resources information relating to Austria and Italy contained in this presentation has been reviewed by
Paul Fink as part of the due diligence process on behalf of ADX. Mr. Fink is Technical Director of ADX
Energy Ltd is a qualified geophysicist with 30 years of technical, commercial and management
experience in exploration for, appraisal and development of oil and gas resources. Mr. Fink is a member
of the EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers) and FIDIC (Federation of Consulting
Engineers). ADX confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that may materially affect
the information included in the relevant market announcements for reserves or resources and that all
material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market
announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed. As noted on slide 3, the Prospective
Resources include the Welchau Gas Liquids Discovery which are currently under review. The Company’s
Prospective Resources estimates will be revised following the update of Welchau Prospective Resources
estimates and the update of other prospects in ADX’ Austrian exploration portfolio.
Independent audit of developed reserves have been completed for ADX’ Zistersdorf and Gaiselberg fields
(“Fields”) in the Vienna basin and Anshof in Upper Austria (Austria) by RISC Advisory Pty Ltd (“RISC”).
RISC conducted an independent audit of ADX’ Fields evaluations, including production forecasts, cost
estimates and project economics. Production from existing wells is classified as Developed Producing.
Production from planned recompletion of existing wells to new intervals is classified as Developed NonProducing. RISC is an independent advisory firm offering the highest level of technical and commercial
advice to a broad range of clients in the energy industries worldwide. RISC has offices in London, Perth,
Brisbane and South-East Asia and has completed assignments in more than 90 countries for over 500
clients and has grown to become an international energy advisor of choice.
PRMS RESERVES CLASSIFICATIONS USED IN THIS PRESENTATION:
Developed Reserves are quantities expected to be recovered from existing wells and facilities.
Developed Producing Reserves are expected to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and
producing at the time of the estimate.
Developed Non-Producing Reserves include shut-in and behind-pipe reserves with minor costs to access.
Undeveloped Reserves are quantities expected to be recovered through future significant investments.
A. Proved Reserves (1P) are those quantities of Petroleum that by analysis of geoscience and engineering data,
can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable from known reservoirs and under
defined technical and commercial conditions. If deterministic methods are used, the term “reasonable certainty”
is intended to express a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods
are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will be equal or
exceed the estimate.
B. Probable Reserves are those additional Reserves which analysis of geoscience and engineering data indicate
are less likely to be recovered than Possible Reserves. It is equally likely that actual remaining quantities
recovered will be greater than or less than the sum of the estimated Proved plus Probable Reserves (2P). In this
context, when probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual
quantities recovered will equal or exceed the 2P estimate.
C. Possible Reserves are those additional Reserves that analysis of geoscience and engineering data suggest are
less likely to be recoverable that Probable Reserves. The total quantities ultimately recovered from the project
have a low probability to exceed the sum of Proved plus Probable plus Possible (3P) Reserves, which is equivalent
to the high-estimate scenario. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability
that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the 3P estimate. Possible Reserves that are located
outside the 2P area (not upside quantities to the 2P scenario) may exist only when the commercial and technical
maturity criteria have been met (that incorporate the Possible development scope). Standalone Possible Reserves
must reference a commercial 2P project.
PROSPECTIVE RESOURCE CLASSIFICATIONS USED IN THIS PRESENTATION:
Prospective Resources are those estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the
application of a future development project(s) related to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have
both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further explorations appraisal and evaluation is
required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
P(90) Estimate or Low Estimate: means at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will
equal or exceed the estimate.
P(50) Estimate or Best Estimate: means At least a 50% probability that the quantities actually recovered will
equal or exceed the estimate.
P(10) Estimate or High Estimate: means At least a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will
equal or exceed the estimate.
OIL AND GAS CONVERSIONS
BOE means barrels of oil equivalent. Bcfe means billion of cubic feet of gas equivalent. Gas to oil conversion used
in this presentation: 6 mcf of gas = 1 barrel of oil. Mcf means thousand cubic feet of gas

MULTIPLE LOW TO MEDIUM RISK GAS TARGETS IN ADX’ WESTERN, AT-I ACREAGE
(ADX MINIMUM 50% INTEREST – IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE IMPENDING LICHT-1!)
ADX has mapped > 10, shallow and deeper drill, gas Leads and Prospects in the ADX-AT-I licence area.
A large portion of the ADX-AT-I area is subject to a partnership with MND which will largely fund the next well, earning a
50% EI with the remainder of the ADX-AT-I area held by ADX 100%.
ADX-AT-I area is mostly covered by 3D seismic that is being reprocessed by ADX.
Using the 3D data, resource estimates are being re-evaluated for all the currently mapped Leads and Prospects.
Drilling of the first well targeting this prospectivity, LICHT-1, will commence in October 2024.
As the Company’s work progresses in 2024 there will be further data releases updating the status of each drill target.

Austria is a Tier 1 jurisdiction –
a significant hydrocarbon
province with excellent
infrastructure & HIGH market
values
Gas currently US$17.50/Mcf
meaning highly profitable reserves
ADX already has cash flow
and is in a Basin Master position
with access to:
•
Valuable 3D seismic, access to
infrastructure; and
• Well trained “Boots On The
Ground”
ADX is only the third
Hydrocarbon Production and
Exploration Company to Operate
in Austria in some 75 years
Austria is highly dependent on
imports and vulnerable to supply
interruptions to Russian gas
Austrian Government Support
• Discoveries can become producers
quickly by comparison with anywhere
but a few parts of the USA
• Domestically sourced, responsibly
produced oil and gas to reduce
foreign reliance with over 70% of the
Country’s energy being imported
All ADX’s predecessors have
been very large Companies,
thus creating an ideal
environment for a smaller,
flexible and ambitious Company
to enter
ADX has so far, already
drilled 3 out of 4 new field
discovery and field appraisal
wells
Additional exploration drilling is
set to begin in October 2024
Our dependence on Russian natural gas threatens the prosperity, security and future of our country. Our goal is to get out
of Russian natural gas. As a sovereign country, we cannot simply accept that the share of Russian gas increases instead of
decreases. That is why we will now present the next measures” Leonore Gewessler, Climate Protection & Energy Minister
