Liquefied Natural Gas Ltd. Quarterly Highlights for June 2016

The Company's total cash position as at 30 June 2016 was A$71.4 million and there is no debt.
The LNG industry is currently challenged by an LNG supply / demand imbalance. However, the Company's business model of mid-scale LNG export projects, using our wholly owned patented OSMR(R) liquefaction process technology, positions the Company for long-term global success due, in part, to our industry leading low cost solutions.
I look forward to meeting our shareholders who are able to attend the presentations this week in Sydney (25th July), Melbourne (27th July), and Perth (28th July), which we have highlighted in an ASX release on 6 July.

- Magnolia LNG received its United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order to site, construct, and operate facilities to liquefy and export domestically produced natural gas from the LNG export terminal
- The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) approved the air permit for the Magnolia LNG project
- FERC also authorised the Kinder Morgan Louisiana Pipeline LLC (KMLP Pipeline) to install compression and other related facilities on the KMLP Pipeline, facilitating the transportation of full feed gas volumes to the Magnolia LNG project
- Magnolia LNG and the KSJV (a joint venture between KBR and SKE&C, led by KBR) agreed to extend the validity period of the signed engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract price through 31 December 2016
