- Grieve fully funded

Elk Petroleum has completed the restructuring of its JV agreement with Denbury Resources for its 12.3mmbbls 2P Grieve enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project. A substantial equity plus debt injection in June/August 2016 will fund the Grieve project to first production in late 2017 or early 2018, with Denbury covering any cost overruns. Including additional equity from a shortfall placement, we estimate a base case valuation for Elk based on 2P reserves of A$0.15/share, with upside from both 3P reserves (an additional A$0.06/share) and 3C contingent resources (an additional A$0.17/share).
