Significant Advance of the Financial Restructure                                                
                                                                                            
On 25 July 2012 the Board of Firestone Energy Limited (ASX/JSE: FSE) (the                   
Company or FSE) announced that an Investment Agreement with Ariona                      
Company SA and the Company had been executed. Under the Investment                          
Agreement, Ariona will provide funding to the Company for up to A$40.7 million              
through a new convertible note facility.
                                                                                                                                                                                        
The Company is pleased to announce that it has been advised by Ariona that it

The new convertible note facility is still subject to other conditions precedent, with      
the most significant being:
                                                                                            
           1) Obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals in Australia and South                                                
              Africa; and                                                                                                        
           2) Obtaining Firestone shareholder approval to the issue and for the                                             
              conversion of the new convertible notes to be issued to Ariona.                                
The Company expects to call a Shareholders meeting to approve the transaction                                        
                                                                                                              
in the near future.
