3.LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN

Dear Investor,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to become a shareholder of Kinetiko Energy Ltd.

The Company was incorporated with a view to giving investors the opportunity for earlyparticipation in emerging energy exploration and development opportunities. By this

Information Memorandum, the Company seeks to raise sufficient capital and gainsufficient shareholder spread to enable it to seek out and evaluate opportunities before ittoday in the Republic of South Africa. In particular and with focus on the proposed JointVenture with Badimo Gas on its Coal Bed Methane Licences in Amersfoort South Africa.

With an experienced Board of Directors, a spread of supportive shareholders, and theability to raise further funds, I believe the Company will be able to progress theseopportunities and to develop then further to the advantage of The Company and itsshareholders.

In determining the suitability of these opportunities and further development, your directors will use their knowledge and experience to analyse these opportunities in

Southern Africa. To get The Company to this point they have involved themselves in aprocess to locate and identify prospective Coal bed Methane fields and Joint Venturepartners with the following criteria:

Exploration targets in known coal fields with gassy coal deposits of the correct nature

Prospective Joint Venture partners with the correct attributes and abilities

Locations within infrastructure serviced regions assisting with development

Ability to achieve realistic commercial milestones to develop and explore the projects.

Due to the uncertainties inherent in the process of identifying and acquiring a suitableacquisition and the nature of exploring and developing existing projects, an investment in

the Company should be considered speculative in nature.

I look forward to welcoming you as a shareholder of the Company.

Yours faithfully

A.M.G (Geoff) Michael

 The Company is an unlisted Australian public company with the keyobjective to capitalise the Company and provide a spread of additionalshareholders. In this position the Company will then be able to engage in theexploration and possible development of energy related coal seam gas/ coalbed methane opportunities as are currently before The Company in SouthernAfrica.

  The Company’s Board will actively seek out and examine these investmentopportunities drawing upon their significant corporate experience and networkof contacts to evaluate the viability of these projects and investmentopportunities that will add shareholder wealth. It will also use thesecapabilities to seek out and locate other opportunities for The Company atthe appropriate time.

Investment Criteria

 The Board will be seeking to provide solid returns for its shareholders overtime by participating in business and/or investment opportunities in energyrelated projects.

 The Company’s philosophy is to provide an appropriate return to shareholderswith an acceptable degree of risk in the medium to longer term in accordancewith the guidelines and processes detailed below.

Investment Guidelines

In determining the suitability of these opportunities, your Directors haveused their knowledge and experience plus carried out appropriate researchand field trips to Southern Africa to establish the correct opportunities topursue. The principal investment criteria for CSG/CBM opportunities inSouthern Africa are:

Exploration targets in known coal fields with gassy coal deposits of the correct nature

7.CURRENT PROJECTS.

Kinetiko has executed a Memorandum of Understanding, “The MOU”with Badimo Gas Pty Ltd to form a Joint Venture to explore and

develop 4 CBM / CSG licences at Amersfoort in Eastern South Africaas set out in the Overview and Context below.

The MOU is a precursor to a Joint venture agreement that will seeKinetiko enter into an, ‘Earn in Agreement’ to spend ZAR 26,000,000before December 2011.

It is proposed at present that once the funds have expended at thedirection of Kinetiko and Kinetiko exercises its rights and executesits obligations to continue with the Amersfoort proj ect, Kinetiko willhave a 49% commercial interest in the Amersfoort project via a JVcompany with Badimo that will direct and manage all activities of 

the JV by Mutual consent. The current proposed structure and possibleevents are set out in the diagram below.

Amersfoort Coal Bed Methane Project Overviewand Context

IntroductionThe Amersfoort Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Project has the potential tobe a significant long term supplier of gas and chemical feedstock into a growing and energy hungry domestic market in the Republic of South Africa. With CBM Gas in Place (GIP) of 1.7 Tcf (trillion cubic feet)calculated for the project exploration licences there is theopportunity for exploration and production testing to rapidly and costeffectively demonstrate a viable gas production potential which willsupport a range of commercialisation scenarios. The project is furtherenhanced by the potential for conventional gas originally generated

Demands for all forms of energy are growing throughout sub Saharan Africa. The South African parastatal electrical generator and transmission companyEskom has in recent years been finding it increasingly difficult to meet peakdemands of the countries that constitute the Southern African Power Poolincluding South Africa. Eskom not only faces considerable challenges infinancing and building new generating and transmission capacity but has alsohad issues with supply of coal to its power stations. Demand is also growing inthe region for petrochemicals, fertilizers and transport fuels. The AmersfoortCBM Project is located close the majority of South Africa’s powergeneration infrastructure and the majorpopulation and manufacturing centreof Johannesburg. The Majuba Power Station, a 4,110MW coal fired facility islocated within sight of the Amersfoort CBM Project. Originally the powerstation was to be fed by the Majuba Colliery in the Amersfoort area before itwas closed prematurely for technical reasons that included methane gas issues.

Kinetiko Energy is earning a 49% interest in the Amersfoort Project byspending R26 million (A$4m) on exploration within a 2 year period.

Exploration and development then be funded by Kinetiko (49%) and Badimo(51%). Kinetiko will also pay Badimo Gas R10m on conclusion of the earn inphase as partial re-imbursement of costs once regulatory approval for transferof Kinetiko’s 49% interest is completed.

Amersfoort Coal and CBM Geology

 The most productive coal measures of Southern Africa are Permian in agecontained within the extensive Permo-Triassic basins containing the KarooSupergroup. These temperate climate coals are generally equivalent to thesimilarly aged coals of Eastern Australia. At Amersfoort the most significant coalseams are contained within the Vryheid Formation of the Ecca Group. The shalesand sandstones of the Vryheid are intruded by dolerite sills and dykes.

 The Amersfoort Project is located in the Ermelo Coalfield within the coal bearingregion of Permian coals that has been supplying a significant portion of Southern Africa’s energy needs for over a century. However the coals of theAmersfoort area have proved difficult to mine commercially. The MajubaColliery near Amersfoort was intended to supply the nearby Majuba PowerStation; however a range of technical factors including methane gas

terminated operations in 1993. Exploration drilling for coal during the early1980’s in the deeper parts of the Ermelo Coalfields around Amersfoort areahas defined with considerable detail the distribution and depth of the seamsbeneath the Kinetiko-Badimo CBM licences and the geology of overlyingsandstones and intruding dolerite dykes and sills. As part of this exploration854 diamond core holes were drilled on or near what are now the Amersfoortgas exploration licenses. This data has provided detailed information on coaldepths, thicknesses that form the basis of the independent resourceassessment by Gustavson and Associates of 1.7tcf of gas in place (GIP) withinthe Kinetiko-Badimo gas exploration licenses.

The geology of the Amersfoort area is exceptionally well defined due to coalexploration drilling.

Average depths to the most significant coal seams range from 315 to 385m,total coal thicknesses range from less than 1 to 16m. The coals range fromhigh volatile bituminous to medium bituminous. Gas contents of the coals inexcess of 10m3/t were measured in studies associated with the various mining

attempts. For the GIP calculations a mean value of 5m3/t was used.

  The conventional gas potential of the Amersfoort area stems fromconsideration of the maturation history of the coals. Burial and basin heat flowsbegan the coal maturation but the process would have been on-going andoverlapping with the emplacement of the dolerite sills. There is clearevidence of devolatilization of the coals in proximity to the dolerites (Kavonicet al ,1987). During maturation coals typically generate over 10 times theamount of methane gas that can be retained in the coals (Eddy etc al ,1982, Rightmire, 1984). This normally migrates over time from the hostsequences. However there is the potential for the dolerites and siltstones tohave trapped this fugitive gas in conventional accumulations in the porous

sandstones.

Gas escaping from a drill hole Gas bubbling in drill hole standing water.

Evidence for the conventional gas potential in the Amersfoort area isindicated by the escape of gas that has been occurring from a number of thecoal exploration drill holes that have not been sealed. Gas can be seenvigorously bubbling up through the standing water in the drill holes, andreports from local farmers indicate this has been occurring continuously since

the holes were drilled nearly 30 years ago. The gas is unlikely to be derived bydesorption from the coal seams as hydrostatic pressure would be keeping theCBM in place.

Exploration and reserve definition strategies

As the Amersfoort Project already has a GIP estimate of 1.7tcf and welldefined coal distributions exploration has the opportunity to rapidly increase thevalue of the project by moving towards independently certifiable reserveswithin a 2 year period. The abundance of existing coal exploration drill holesmeans there is limited need for drilling to define coal distribution in greaterdetail. Exploration can commence with core drilling to recover material fromalready defined coal sequences for CBM desorption testing and rapidlyprogress to site selection for production test wells. Completion of productiontest wells in tandem with commercialisation studies will then enable thecertification of reserves for the project. Kinetiko considers this progressioncould be achieved within 2 years.

Amersfoort is a well defined exploration play with the potential forrapid cost effective

definition of resources and reserves.

Independent Power Production either grid coupled or direct to a major customer.

Mini LNG interfaced IPP for peak load and distributed demand.

Gas sales into the existing coal powered generation plants for flame control

and ultimately for full co-generation.

CNG production and distribution by road and rail for to manufacturing

customers and fleet transport depots.

New generation plants (smaller capital) for synfuels and chemical feedstock

Potential investors should readthe entire Memorandum and consult their professional advisor beforedeciding whether to apply for Shares.

Investment Risk The Shares to be issued pursuant to this Memorandum should beconsidered speculative. They carry no guarantee as to liquidity, payment of dividends, return of capital or the market value of the Shares.

 There are a number of risk factors that may impact on the future performanceof Kinetiko and the achievement of the Company’s financial objectives. Some of these risks can be mitigated by appropriate safeguards and risk management

systems, but may are outside the control of the Company and cannot bemitigated.

Investors need to consider the risks involved in an investment in Kinetiko beforemaking a decision whether or not to apply for Shares. The principal risk factorsinclude, but are not limited to, the following:

Non Diversification of Investments

 The risk of non-diversified asset portfolio is generally higher than that of a fullydiversified investment portfolio.

 The Company intends not to diversify its investments but rather focus onidentifying a few meaningful transactions.

Investors should note that a decision not to diversify may increase the overallrisk profile of the Company.
