JUNE 2021 QUARTERLY REPORT

ACTIVITY AND PORTFOLIO REVIEW

High Peak Royalties is pleased to announce the June Quarter Statement of Activity and Cash Flows. HPR has a portfolio of royalties in Australia and USA as detailed on the final page of the Activities Report.

Quarterly revenue was $119,367 representing an increase on the March 2021 quarter of $24,282, or 28%. Cash at the end of the quarter was $771,073. During the quarter, $53,749 was paid to directors of the Company in director fees, as noted in Item 6.1 of the 5B. The increase in revenue has occurred as a direct result of the sustained rising oil prices since the lows of April 2020 as a result of the initial impact of COVID-19.

Subsequent to 30 June 2021

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company settled payment on two royalties, being the previously announced Admiral Bay royalty ($100,000), and the newly acquired Green Hydrogen Royalty.

As announced 5 July 2021 HPR acquired rights including a royalty over a Green Hydrogen project for $300,000. The rights provide for a 1% royalty over:

  • hydrogen sales; and

  • a novel catalyst for producing hydrogen via Steam Methane Reforming (“SMR”) or Steam Bio-methane Reforming (“SBMR”).

This extends the scope of the existing portfolio which contains diversified high value resource royalties around the world, expanding into sustainable energy and renewable projects.

Cumulatively this is a total of $400,000 of funds subsequent to balance date expended on new royalty acquisitions.

REVIEW OF PORTFOLIO ASSETS

USA

USA revenue improved by 28% with $119,367 recorded for the June quarter compared to the March quarter of $93,085. There was interest paid in the period for the Macquarie Bank Financing Facility costs of $27,873.

Amadeus Basin (NT)

The Company notes the royalty over Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: MSMN (“Mosman”)) Amadeus Basin Permit EP 145, airborne gravity and gradiometry survey, has now been approved by the relevant Government Department. Airborne survey commenced the week of 5 July 2021 and concluded 21 July 2021.

As noted by MSMN, the survey is a significant step in the exploration programme for EP-145 as it is the first time data will be acquired for the whole permit and will provide valuable information across the entire 818 sq km permit area.

Current subsurface seismic data is limited to the NW and central part of the permit and existing regional gravity data is too sparse to provide sufficient detail of the complex salt related structures which have been identified as hydrocarbon and helium leads within the permit.

The survey uses the high-resolution Falcon Airborne Gravity Gradiometry System which has the ability to image salt and subsalt geometry across a range of depths. The technique measures the density contrast of the different rock layers with a higher level of resolution and sensitivity than standard gravity tools, improving confidence in the interpretation of high density and gravity features including salt related structures.

The Falcon system has been used to successfully interpret drill targets across a variety of geological settings around the world including the Canning Basin Western Australia. The survey was completed by Xcalibur Airborne Geophysics (who recently acquired CGG Aviation (Australia) Pty. Ltd.).

There are no material updates to other royalties held over other permit areas in the NT region.

Queensland (QLD)

Royalties include the producing Peat gas field. HPR did not receive payment from Origin Energy Limited (Origin) and is seeking clarification having engaged with Origin formally to clarify the payment calculations and amounts on this royalty to date.

HPR continues to monitor the other permits where HPR has royalties, including those operated by Shell (formerly BG, QGC) where drilling has identified significant coal-seam methane resources. The areas adjacent to the HPR royalty areas have been developed and are producing.

Western Australia (WA)

HPR also has royalties on several high potential offshore permits, including one permit near the large Dorado discovery operated by Santos Limited. HPR acquired a royalty package from Orion Resource Partners on 23 April 2021 in a project based in the Kimberley Region. There is extensive history with the project, with geological advancements enhancing the value of the project since its beginning.
