ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Coal Projects

The company is continuing to explore alternative technologies to utilise its coal on-site which could produce products such as ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, energy and other products. These technologies look to take advantage of the developing "hydrogen economy". The company's focus is the long term production of energy related products.

In addition to the developing hydrogen economy opportunities, on 15 October 2021, AUH announced it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Fortress Capital Limited to conduct due diligence on a new technology that could enhance AustChina's energy portfolio through the conversion of solid fuels including coal, municipal household and commercial waste, biomass, and other material to generate cleaner environmentally responsible electricity.

The company has tested its coal from the Blackall coal deposit and another solid commercial waste product and to date is satisfied with the outcomes. The company is continuing with its due diligence with the assistance of Fortress Capital. This process has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and utilise fuel sources such as coal, municipal household and commercial waste that would otherwise go to landfill to produce energy for its own purposes or for sale to the electricity grid.

There were no substantive mining production or development activities undertaken during the quarter. No field activities were scheduled or carried out during the quarter.

Beneficial percentage interests held in farm-in or farm-out agreements at end of the quarter - no change from the previous quarter.

Beneficial percentage interests in farm-in or farm-out agreements acquired or disposed of during the quarter - no change from the previous quarter.

AustChina holds 25.12% of Queensland, Australia based bioenergy developer Utilitas Group Pty Ltd, and is well positioned in the bioenergy and bioproducts field in Australia.

The Dandenong and Hunter projects are shifting forward, engagement with waste aggregators continues, securing more of the project to meet economic viability.
