Coretrack Limited (ASX : CKK)


Listed on ASX 2006
GICS Group Energy
Focused on Oil and Gas Services technologies
Signed agreement to purchase unlisted Ecopropp, which is developing disruptive,
game changer, ceramic proppants technology
Ecopropp proppants are made from Flyash - Stronger, Lighter & anticipated Lower
Manufacturing Cost than comparable products
Proppants are used in the hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil and gas wells
Hydraulic fracturing has played a significant role in transforming the US economy

What are Proppants?


Proppants are a sand-like commodity that are o[en the single largest cost item in EVERY well that is fracked

Proppants are pumped into hydrocarbon bearing shales to prop open the fractures that are created during
hydraulic fracturing (fracking). Oil and gas is then able to ow from the fractures held open by the proppants

Tradi;onal ceramic proppants are made from bauxite or kaolin clay. Our proppants are made primarily from
y ash, the unwanted by-product of coal red power plants

The worldwide ceramic market was approximately $2.5 Bn. in 2013

Ecopropp ceramic proppants are Tier 1, with the highest conduc;vity

Exploiting unconventional Oil and Gas resources

What about water contamination and toxic chemicals?


Design of oil and gas wells are
e n g i n e e r e d t o p r e v e n t
hydrocarbons leaking into water
aquifers. No less than 3 layers of
concrete encased steel pipe reach
far deeper than the deepest water
aquifer.

An Indian bean called Guar was formerly used as cafle


feed before its applica;on for oil and gas wells was
discovered. Guar is used to thicken the water to hold
the proppants in suspension during fracking.

Industry Overview
The industry is in the early days of a prolonged up-cycle*
Each horizontal oil and gas well requires between 3,000,000 pounds (1.4m kg) and
10,000,000 pounds (4.5m kg) of ceramic proppants**
1 horizontal well needs up to 100 rail carriages of proppants**

Many horizontal wells use $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 of ceramic proppants**


60% of US oil and gas drill rigs were horizontal drilling in 2013, compared to 2003,
when just 10% were horizontal and 90% were ver;cal drilling**

Explosion in ac;vity due primarily to advances in hydraulic fracturing technologies

Effects of Hydraulic fracturing on the US Economy

Proppants are Big Business $2.5B annually world wide


Proppant manufacturers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars building new
ceramic proppant plants to meet anticipated market growth
Imerys acquired US Pyramax for US$335 million In 2013
St Gobain invested US$100m in US proppant plant expansion in 2013

Typical Characteristics of Ceramic Proppants


Kaolin Clay feedstock

Compressive Strength 20/40 typically rated @ 7,500 psi


Bulk Density typically 1.56 grams/cubic cm
Typical Bakken well requires 6,000,000 pounds per well
Up to 6.5 cents/pound for logis;cs and transporta;on costs
from Georgia US to North Dakota

Bauxite feedstock

Compressive Strength 20/40 typically rated @ 10,000 psi


Bulk Density typically 1.88 grams/cubic cm
Typical Bakken well requires 7,230,000 pounds per well
Up to 8 cents/pound for logis;cs and transporta;on costs from China to Texas

Ecopropp Fly ash feedstock


Compressive Strength 20/40 rated @ 11,000 psi
Bulk Density 1.37 grams/cubic cm
Typical Bakken well requires 5,300,000 pounds per well
Low (or no) logis;cs and transporta;on costs because Ecopropp manufacturing plants can be
located near coal red power plants which are close to oil & gas reserves.
