FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Po Valley Energy Limited (‘PVE’ or “the Company’) that may constitute
forward looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that refer to any future oil and gas production, resources or reserves, exploration results and events that the Company expects to
occur are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements are not a guarantee of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the outcomes anticipated. This may be due to several factors, including market prices, exploration and exploitation success, and the
continued availability of capital and financing, plus general economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results
or performance may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of

The estimates of Reserves, Contingent and Prospective Resource included in the Presentation are estimates reported in the Competent Persons Report (CPR) dated 25 July 2022 issued by CGG Services UK Limited
(CGG) and as per the ASX announcement of 26 July 2022 and are pre-production reserves.
All estimates, except for those relating to Teodorico, have been determined using a deterministic method. Estimates for Teodorico have been determined using a probabilistic method.
Where reported, aggregated Reserves and Contingent Resources are aggregated by arithmetic summation by category.
In relation to Prospective Resources reported in the Presentation on slide 7 and 11:
Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These
estimates 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.
The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements referred to in this presentation and, in the case of
estimates for petroleum reserves, contingent resources and prospective resources, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement
continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not materially changed from the original
market announcements.
