Vintage Energy Ltd (“Vintage”, ASX: VEN) is pleased to advise that the Galilee Basin Deeps JV (“GBDJV”) has reached the pre-determined Stage 2 funding point of $10 million (gross), which has triggered an increase in Vintage’s equity in the GBDJV from 15% to 30%. Vintage was contributing to Stage 2 costs on a 50:50 basis, with the funding contribution for the joint venture to now be incurred in line with the GBDJV interests, which is Vintage 30% and Comet Ridge Ltd (“Comet Ridge”, ASX: COI) 70%. As a result of this, Vintage has doubled its resources in the Albany Field as per Table 1 below.

About Vintage
The natural gas supply crisis currently afflicting the eastern part of Australia and the energy market more widely have been the catalysts for the creation and ASX listing of Vintage, with Reg Nelson (former Managing Director of Beach Energy Ltd) the Chairman and Neil Gibbins (former Chief Operating Officer of Beach Energy Ltd) the Managing Director. The company has acquired high quality gas exploration and appraisal assets close to infrastructure with the potential for rapid development and the promise of early cash flow. Vintage will continue to identify and seek to acquire further high-quality gas exploration and production assets with a focus on those that offer the potential for accelerated pathways to commercialisation.
Oil potential in prominent onshore basins is also a key focus, particularly given the experience of Vintage team members in discovering and developing oil fields on the Western Flank of the Cooper - Eromanga Basins in South Australia.
