A11 1.2

This document comprises a prospectus relating to Mining, Minerals & Metals Plc prepared in accordance with the UK version of the Prospectus Regulation (EU) No 2017/1129, which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended and supplemented from time to time (including, but not limited to, by the UK Prospectus Amendment Regulations 2019 and the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Prospectus) Regulations 2019)) and the prospectus regulation rules of the FCA made under section 73A of the FSMA.

The FCA only approves this Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the UK Prospectus Regulation and such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the issuer that is the subject of this Prospectus, nor as an endorsement of the quality of the securities that are the subject of this Prospectus.

The issuer

The issuer's legal name is Mining, Minerals & Metals Plc. The Company was incorporated and registered as a private limited company in England and Wales on 28 January 2013, and re-registered as a public limited company on 22 October 2018.

Georgina has two principal onshore interests held through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Westmarket O&G. The first, the Hussar Prospect, in which Westmarket O&G holds a 100% working interest, is located in the Officer Basin in Western Australia. The second, the Mount Winter Prospect, is located in the Amadeus Basin in Northern Australia, which Georgina has a right to earn an initial 75% interest in (with the potential to reach 90%).

Rule 9 Waiver

Under Rule 9 of the City Code, any person who acquires an interest in shares (as defined in the City Code) which, taken together with any shares in which that person or any other person acting in concert with that person is interested, carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company which is subject to the City Code, is normally required to make an offer to all of the remaining shareholders to acquire their shares in the company. Such an offer would have to be made in cash and at the highest price paid for any interest in shares by that person or by any person acting in concert with it within the 12 months prior to the announcement of the offer.

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition and Placing, the Concert Party will be interested in 35.1% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Company has consulted with the Panel and the Panel has conditionally agreed to waive the Concert Parties' obligation to make a mandatory offer that would otherwise be required pursuant to Rule 9 of the City Code as a result of the Proposed Acquisition and Placing, subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders.

  • 2) The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies adopted by the Company in preparing the audited financial information of the Company for the year ended 31 January 2024.
  • 3) The Initial Consideration Shares issued to the equity owners of Georgina totaling £3,250,000, against the fair value of the intangible exploration and evaluation assets acquired as part of this business combination.
  • 4) The gross proceeds of the Placing of £5,000,000 to new investors on Re-admission of the less transaction costs of approximately £670,000.
  • 5) The conversion of the CLN into New Ordinary Shares relating to Georgina of £1,725,920 with associated finance costs of £44,063

What are the key risks that are specific to the issuer?

The key risks that are specific to the Enlarged Group and the industry in which the Enlarged Group operates are as follows:

  • l The Hussar and Mount Winter Prospects will be the Enlarged Group's sole material assets following the Proposed Acquisition and consequently, any adverse development affecting these Prospects would have a material adverse effect on the Enlarged Group, its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
  • l Whilst the application for EP 155 is in progress, Georgina currently has no ownership interest in the Mount Winter Prospect and grant of the licence is dependent on consent under ALRA being given by the relevant land council for the area and the execution of a Land Council Agreement as well as ministerial consent to the transfer of the licence.
  • l To date, the exploration operations at EP 155 have been carried out in accordance with the terms of the Farmout Agreement. Whilst the Company has no reason to believe that this will be the case, there is a risk that OilCo may elect not to participate in certain activities under the Farmout Agreement. Any failure by OilCo to meet its obligations under the Farmout Agreement, or breach by it of the terms of EP 155 could have a material adverse effect on the Company's interest in EP 155.
  • l The Group's ongoing exploration operations will be dependent upon the grant, renewal or continuance in force of appropriate contracts, licences, permits and regulatory approvals and consents which may be valid only for a defined time period, may be subject to limitations and may provide for withdrawal in certain circumstances.
  • l While the Company is of the opinion that the working capital available to the Enlarged Group is sufficient for the Group's requirements for at least the 12 months following the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no cash flow from producing assets and therefore will likely require additional financing in order to carry out its exploration and development activities outside of the Working Capital Period.
  • l The prospective resources set out in this Document have been estimated by the Competent Person using probabilistic analysis. These estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment or, even if valid when originally calculated, may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available.
  • l Georgina is a relatively new exploration company with limited operating history and has yet to generate a profit from its activities. The Company's business plan requires significant expenditure, particularly capital expenditure, during its exploration phase. Any future revenue and profitability from the Company's business will be dependent upon the successful exploration and development of the Prospects, and there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability in future.

The consent of the holders of each class of Ordinary Shares will be required for the variation of any rights attached to the relevant class of Ordinary Shares.

Seniority As the securities being admitted are equity securities, they would rank below the
Company's then-existing debts in the event of insolvency.

Transferability The Ordinary Shares are freely transferable and have no restrictions on transfer.

Dividend policy On Re-admission the Board's objective is the achievement of substantial capital growth. In the short term they do not intend to declare a dividend.

Where will the securities be traded?

Application will be made for the Enlarged Share Capital to be readmitted to the Equity Shares (transition) category on the Official List and to trade on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that Re-admission will become effective and that unconditional dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 30 July 2024.

What are the key risks that are specific to the securities?

  • l As New Ordinary Shares are being issued contemporaneously with Re-admission the interests of Shareholders immediately before Re-admission will be diluted.
  • l A listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category will afford investors a lower level of regulatory protection than that afforded to investors in a company with a listing on the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category, which is subject to additional obligations under the UKLR, which may have an adverse effect on the valuation of the Ordinary Shares.
  • l Investments in Ordinary Shares may be relatively illiquid. There may be a limited number of Shareholders and this factor may contribute both to infrequent trading in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange and to volatile Ordinary Share price movements. Investors should not expect that they will necessarily be able to realise their investment in Ordinary Shares within a period that they would regard as reasonable. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not be suitable for short-term investment. Re-admission should not be taken as implying that there will be an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares. Even if an active trading market develops, the market price for the Ordinary Shares may fall below the issue price.
  • l The ability of the Company to pay dividends on the Ordinary Shares is a function of its profitability and the extent to which, as a matter of law, it will have available to it sufficient distributable reserves out of which any proposed dividend may be paid. The Company can give no assurances that it will be able to pay a dividend going forward; on the contrary, as the objective of the Board is the achievement of substantial capital growth, in the short term they do not intend to declare a dividend.

Key information on the offer of securities to the public and/or the admission to trading on a regulated market

Under which conditions and timetable can I invest in this security?

A Placing of 40,000,000 New Ordinary Shares will occur at price of £0.125 per Placing Share. Completion of the Placing is conditional on, amongst other things, Re-admission.

Details of admission to trading on a regulated market

Application will be made for the Enlarged Share Capital to be readmitted to a the Equity Shares (transition) category on the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that Re-admission will become effective and that unconditional dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 30 July 2024.

Expenses

The Company expects that its expenses in connection with Re-admission will be approximately £670,000. The Company intends to pay and/or recoup these expenses from the gross proceeds of the Placing. There are no commissions, fees or expenses to be charged directly to investors by the Company.

Dilution

The Placing, Debt Conversion, Conversion and the contemporaneous acquisition of Georgina in exchange for the Initial Consideration Shares will result in the Existing Ordinary Shares being diluted so as to constitute approximately 7% of the Enlarged Share Capital immediately after Re-admission.

Why is this prospectus being produced?

Reasons for the Placing and Working Capital Net Proceeds

The Company is making the Proposed Acquisition, which constitutes a Reverse Takeover, and therefore requires the publication of this Prospectus in connection with the Re-admission of the Enlarged Share Capital. The working capital required by the Enlarged Group requires the Company to raise further capital by conducting the Placing.

Conditional on the Placing and Re-admission, the Company has raised gross proceeds of £5,000,000. After payment of commission, professional fees and costs of the Transaction (which are estimated to be approximately £670,000), the Company is expected to have Working Capital Net Proceeds of £4,330,000. Capital Net Proceeds are intended to be applied in the following manner during the Working Capital Period:

£

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Company carries a degree of risk including but not limited to the risks in relation to the Enlarged Group, the Company, and the Ordinary Shares referred to below. The risks referred to below are the risks which are considered by the Company, the Directors and the Proposed Directors to be material but are not the only risks relating to the Enlarged Group, the Company, and/or the Ordinary Shares. There may be additional material risks that the Company, the Directors and the Proposed Directors do not currently consider to be material or of which the Company, the Directors and the Proposed Directors are not currently aware. Potential investors should review this Prospectus carefully and in its entirety, and consult with their professional advisers before acquiring any Ordinary Shares. If any of the risks referred to in this Prospectus or any other risks were to occur, the financial position and prospects of the Enlarged Group and/or the Company could be materially adversely affected. If that were to happen, the trading price of the Ordinary Shares and/or net asset value and/or the level of dividends or distributions (if any) received from the Ordinary Shares could decline significantly and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to the Company, its industry, the Enlarged Group, and the Ordinary Shares summarised in the section of this Prospectus headed "Summary" are the risks that the Company, Directors and the Proposed Directors believe to be the most essential to an assessment by a prospective investor of whether to consider an investment in the Ordinary Shares. However, as the risks which the Company and the Enlarged Group face relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, prospective investors should consider not only the information on the key risks summarised in the section of this Prospectus headed "Summary" but also, among other things, the risks and uncertainties described below.

An investment in the Company is suitable only for investors: who are capable of evaluating the risks and merits of such investment; who understand the potential risk of capital loss and that there may be limited liquidity in the underlying investments of the Enlarged Group; for whom an investment in the Ordinary Shares constitutes part of a diversified investment portfolio; who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved in investing in the Company; and who have sufficient resources to bear any loss (which may be equal to the amount invested) which might result from such investment. Typical investors in the Company are expected to be institutional and sophisticated investors and private clients of experienced wealth managers or of execution-only retail brokers. Investors should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser before making an investment in the Company.

Nothing in this "Risk Factors" section shall in any way be taken to qualify the working capital statement contained in paragraph 23 of Part VII of this Prospectus.

PART A – RISKS FACTORS RELATING TO THE ENLARGED GROUP'S BUSINESS

The Company will be entirely reliant on the Hussar and Mount Winter Prospects

Following the Proposed Acquisition, the interests in the Hussar and Mount Winter Prospects will be the Company's sole material assets and consequently, any adverse development affecting these Prospects would have a material adverse effect on the Enlarged Group, its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Further both of these Prospects are still in the early phase of exploration and appraisal with large uncertainties and risk. Whilst both the larger Amadeus and Officer Basins in which the Prospects are located contain multiple proven petroleum systems that the Re-admission Directors believe have the potential to produce large volumes of natural gas, there are large uncertainties across Georgina's land interests as to the presence of and the ability to commercially produce any gas and/or hydrocarbons.

Further, it is not uncommon for new gas and hydrocarbon developments to experience unexpected problems and delays during construction, commissioning and production start-up, or indeed for such projects to fail.

Any adverse event affecting the Prospects, either during their exploration, development or following the commencement of production, would have a material adverse effect on the Enlarged Group's business, results of operations, financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares, as the Enlarged Group will have no other near-term source of revenue earnings.

Georgina currently has no ownership interest in the Mount Winter Prospect

Whilst the application for EP 155 is in progress, Georgina currently has no ownership interest in the Mount Winter Prospect and the licence remains to be granted by the Minister.

Pursuant to the Farmout Agreement (further details of which are set out in paragraph 16.25 of Part XV of this Document), Georgina is entitled to earn up to a 75% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155 (and at OilCo's election, Georgina may earn an additional 15% legal and beneficial interest (for a maximum 90% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155)) subject to satisfying certain requirements (including activity and expenditure commitments) specified in the Farmout Agreement.

EP 155 was applied for by OilCo on 12 May 2008 and is located on "Aboriginal land" as defined in the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 (Cth). As such, the application for EP 155 cannot be granted unless consent under ALRA is given by the relevant land council for the area and the Land Council, OilCo and Westmarket O&G have entered into a Land Council Agreement in accordance with Part IV of ALRA as to the terms and conditions to which EP 155 will be subject to.

As such, OilCo's application for EP 155 cannot be granted unless:

  • l Consent under ALRA is given by the Land Council;
  • l the Land Council and OilCo have entered into a Land Council Agreement; and
  • l the relevant Minister gives consent to the grant of the licence.

Westmarket O&G along with OilCo received an extension to consent to negotiate under ALRA from the Land Council on 19 October 2023 and currently have until 31 October 2024 to enter into the Land Council Agreement. As at the date of this Document negotiations for the finalisation of the Land Council Agreement are ongoing. This negotiation period can be extended by agreement of the Land Council if necessary and whilst it is the Re-admission Directors' expectation that the Land Council Agreement will be entered into before 31 October 2024, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.

Once the Land Council Agreement has been entered into and the licence granted to OilCo, in order to obtain ministerial consent to transfer the licence, an application to transfer must be submitted to the Minister and an appropriate person test is carried out by the Minister in relation to Westmarket O&G.

An application to transfer is expected to be made following completion of the work commitments outlined the Farmout Agreement and it is the Re-admission Directors' expectation that in the ordinary course, and assuming that all necessary information is supplied to the Minister as part of the application to transfer, the Minister's approval would be granted in the order of one to two months from the date of application however there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.

Georgina has no direct involvement in this application so is unable to influence this process and is unable to earn an interest in EP 155 until the application is granted to OilCo and, once granted, will require ministerial approval to effect the transfer of the interest to Westmarket O&G.

As such as at the date of this Document Georgina has no direct or indirect legal interest in EP 155 and any failure by OilCo to secure the grant of EP 155 or the transfer of the licence to Westmarket O&G could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operation, financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

The Company does not have control over the actions of counterparties to contractual arrangements.

To date, the exploration operations at EP 155 have been carried out in accordance with the terms of the Farmout Agreement. Whilst the Company has no reason to believe that this will be the case, following completion of the Transaction there is a risk that OilCo may elect not to participate in certain activities under the Farmout Agreement or may breach the terms of EP 155 or any other documents relating to its interest in EP 155 prior to the transfer of its interest to Westmarket O&G.

Any failure by OilCo to meet its obligations under the Farmout Agreement, or breach by it of the terms of EP 155 could have a material adverse effect on the Company's interest in EP 155 and consequently business, results of its operations and its financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

Similarly any default by OilCo its obligations to fund capital or meet other funding obligations under the Farmout Agreement may require the Company to contribute all or part of any such funding shortfall which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's interest in EP 155 and consequently business, results of its operations and its financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

The Company's licences and contracts

The Group's ongoing exploration operations will be dependent upon the grant, renewal or continuance in force of appropriate contracts, licences, permits and regulatory approvals and consents which may be valid only for a defined time period, may be subject to limitations and may provide for withdrawal in certain circumstances. Whilst the Company is confident that such grant renewals or continuances will be made at the appropriate time, there can be no assurance that these will be obtainable at all, on reasonable terms, or the conditions to which they may be subject.

The Prospects are also subject to certain obligations, expenditure obligations and annual rents under the terms of the relevant permits, whilst additional licences and permits that may be required may also be subject to compulsory work or expenditure obligations or responsibilities in respect of the environment and safety which must be met to keep the licence or permit in good standing.

Failure to observe these requirements could prejudice the Company's right to maintain title to a given area and result in government action to forfeit a permit or permits. The ability of the Company to obtain, sustain or renew any such licences and permits on acceptable terms is also subject to changes in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable authorities or other governmental agencies and, as at the date of this Document and in connection with EP 155, is dependent on OilCo complying with the terms of the Farmout Agreement.

Where a licensee has met the terms of the grant, renewal should not be denied. However, if development conditions are not met there is no guarantee that current or future tenements or future applications for production tenements will be approved.

In order to move to production of resources (once identified) the Company will need to update and change the categorisation of its Prospects. Such updates are subject to third party consent and actions and whilst the Company is confident that the Prospects will be updated at the appropriate time, there can be no assurance that such updates will be obtainable at all, on reasonable terms, or the conditions to which they may be subject.

The failure to obtain such required updates, or delays in obtaining the same, of failure to fulfil any conditions attaching to such permits could increase the Company's costs and delay its activities, including development and the commencement of production.

Any of these events could require additional permitting or cause additional expenditure (including capital expenditure) to be incurred or impose restrictions on, or suspensions of, the Company's operations and cause delays in the development of its properties which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's interests in the Prospects and consequently business, results of its operations and its financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares .

Information on reserves and resources

The prospective resources set out in this Document have been estimated by the Competent Person using probabilistic analysis. These estimates have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles set forth in the 2018 and 2011 (Guideline) Editions of the Petroleum Resource Management System of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (PRMS, 2011 and 2018).

New terminology as per PRMS 2018 in describing low (1U equivalent to P90), best (2U equivalent to P50) and high estimates (3U equivalent P10) are used to denote as-yet undiscovered volumes. No reserves have been assigned in connection with Prospects to date, given the early stage of development of the Prospects.

Reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience and industry practice. These estimates are imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and require adjustment or, even if valid when originally calculated, may alter significantly when new information or techniques become available. As further information becomes available through additional drilling and analysis the estimates are likely to change.

Estimating helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon reserves and resources is subject to significant uncertainties associated with technical data and the interpretation of that data, future commodity prices, and development and operating costs. There can be no guarantee that the resources identified in this Document will be successfully converted to reserves or that the Company will successfully produce the volumes that it estimates as reserves.

Accordingly estimates of reserves and resources may alter significantly or become more uncertain when new information becomes available due to for example, additional drilling or production tests over the life of field. As estimates change, development and production plans may also vary.

Any revision of reserves and resources estimates is likely to have a material and adverse effect on any or all of the Company's future development plans, cash flows, profitability, results of operations and financial condition.

A1 8.5

Substantial capital requirements

While the Company is of the opinion that the working capital available to the Enlarged Group is sufficient for the Group's requirements for at least the 12 months following the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no cash flow from producing assets and therefore will likely require additional financing in order to carry out its exploration and development activities outside of the Working Capital Period.

The Company's ability to effectively implement its business strategy over time is likely to depend in part on its ability to raise additional funds. There can be no assurance that any such equity or debt funding will be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all. Failure to obtain appropriate financing on a timely basis could cause the Company to have an impaired ability to expend the capital necessary to undertake or complete drilling programs, forfeit its exploration interests in certain properties, and reduce or terminate its operations entirely. Furthermore, should the Company be successful in its stated exploration objectives, it is likely to require substantial additional funding to bring its projects into production, which may exceed anticipated estimates. Should it raise these additional funds through the issue of equity securities, this will result in significant dilution to the existing shareholders and/or possibly a change of control at the Company.

The potential inability of the Company to access sufficient capital for its operations beyond the Working Capital Period could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

No history of production

Georgina is a relatively new exploration company with limited operating history and has yet to generate a profit from its activities. Accordingly, the Company has no operating history in Australia and has limited historical financial information and record of performance. The Company's business plan requires significant expenditure, particularly capital expenditure, during its exploration phase. Any future revenue and profitability from the Company's business will be dependent upon the successful exploration and development of the Prospects, and there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability in future.

The Prospects are at early exploration stage only. Neither Georgina nor the Company has ever any material interest in producing properties. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons will be discovered at any of the Prospects or any future properties, nor is there any assurance that the exploration or development programs of the Company thereon will yield any positive results. Even if commercial quantities of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons are discovered, there can be no assurance that any property of the Company will ever be brought to a stage where they can profitably be produced thereon.

The Group is reliant on a number of key personnel.

International exploration and development activities such as those the Company will be engaged in require specialised skills and knowledge in the areas of engineering, geology, geophysics and drilling. In addition, specific knowledge and expertise relating to local laws (including regulations relating to land tenure, exploration, development, production, marketing, transportation, the environment, royalties and taxation) and market conditions is required to compete with other international oil and gas entities.

The success of the Company will depend in large measure on certain key personnel and management. The loss of the services of such key personnel with the concomitant loss of operational knowledge, experience and expertise could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not have key person insurance in effect for members of management. The competition for qualified personnel in the oil and natural gas industry, particularly the international oil and gas industry in which Georgina operates, can be intense and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain all personnel necessary for the development and operation of its business.

There is no assurance that the Group will successfully continue to retain existing specialised personnel and senior management or attract additional experienced and qualified senior management and/or oil and gas personnel required to successfully execute and implement the Group's business plan, which will be particularly important as the Group expands. Competition for such personnel can be intense. The loss of such personnel and the failure to successfully recruit replacements in a timely manner, or at all, would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Management of key relationships

Failure to manage relationships with local communities, government and non-government organisations could adversely impact the Company's business in Australia. Negative community reaction to operations could have an adverse impact on profitability, the ability to finance or even the viability of the Company in Australia. This reaction could lead to disputes that may damage the Company's reputation and could lead to potential disruption of projects or operations that would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Reliance on third party contractors

The Group will operate through a series of contractual relationships with operators and sub-contractors. All contracts will carry risks associated with the performance by the parties thereto of their obligations as to time and quality of work performed. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company's operations.

Whilst the Group is not aware of any specific matters, the Group's business and development plans may be adversely affected by any failure or delay by third parties in supplying these services, by any change to the terms on which these services are made available or by the failure of such third party contractors to provide services that meet its quality or volume requirements. It is not uncommon for oil and gas companies to have disputes with third party contractors, and for these disputes to have a material and adverse effect on the companies' operations.

If the Group is obliged to change a provider of such services, it may experience additional costs, interruptions to development or production or other adverse effects on its business. There is a risk that the Group may not be able to find adequate replacement services on commercially acceptable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

Should the Group be unable to acquire or retain providers of key services on favorable terms, or should there be interruptions to, or inadequacies with, any services provided, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of its operations and its financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

The use of foreign subsidiaries by the Group may affect the Company's ability to pay dividends or make distributions

Following the completion of the Transaction the Company will conduct its operations at the Prospects through its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company's ability to pay dividends on the Ordinary Shares is reliant on the ability of these entities to generate cash flow and pay dividends or make other distributions to the Company. The ability of these entities to make payments to the Company may be constrained by, among other things: (i) the level of taxation, particularly corporate profits and withholding taxes, in Australia; (ii) the introduction of exchange controls; and (iii) local law requirements in relation to the payments of dividends and distributions.

PART B – RISKS RELATING TO THE ENLARGED GROUP'S INDUSTRY

Exploration and production companies are unprofitable in their early stages

Georgina has incurred losses for each of the years 2022 and 2023 which reflects the nature of an exploration and production company and, in particular, the phase that Georgina is in with regard to activities at the Prospects.

Projects of an exploration, production and development company can take a significant period of time, with the early years characterised by seismic data collection and exploration drilling. In the event of a discovery, a further number of years of appraisal drilling may be required in order to determine the extent and size of the discovery. Engineering plans are also prepared to evaluate the best method of producing the gas and/or hydrocarbons and economic models developed to gauge the worthiness of each project and its commercial viability.

In the event that a project is commercially viable, the Company may move to full development of the field. Prior to that time, any revenues from gas and hydrocarbon test production will be shown in the income statement of the Company but with an equal and offsetting amount recorded against cost of sales. Therefore, the Company will incur losses during that period which reflect the administrative and financing costs of running the business and any unsuccessful exploration and appraisal activities. An amount equal to such revenues will also be credited to the intangible assets of the Company against exploration and evaluation costs, reducing the net book value of such assets in the Company's balance sheet. It will only be once production commences at a commercial scale that a gross profit or loss will be recorded in relation to such operations.

Georgina has limited actual exploration and production data from which to draw when formulating its exploration and development strategy. See the risk factor entitled "Information on reserves and resources" above.

In addition, the Company may be unable to conduct its exploration, appraisal, development or production activities on commercially reasonable terms. The Company is subject to risks, expenses and uncertainties associated with the implementation of its business plan that are not typically faced by more mature companies. New operations must construct the necessary infrastructure, develop successful business relationships, establish operating procedures, hire staff, install management information and other systems and obtain licences, as well as take other measures necessary to conduct their intended business activities. It is common in new operations to experience unexpected problems and delays during construction, development and production start-up.

Exploration production and development risk

Oil and natural gas operations involve many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The long-term commercial success of the Company will depend on its ability to find, acquire, develop and commercially produce oil and natural gas reserves.

The Company's exploration activities may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs.

In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity or other geological and mechanical conditions. No assurance can be given that current markets, terms of participation or pricing conditions will not make the Company's assets uneconomic. There is no assurance that commercial quantities of oil and natural gas will be discovered or acquired by the Company.

Oil and natural gas exploration, development and production operations are subject to all the risks and hazards typically associated with such operations, including hazards such as fire, explosion, blowouts, cratering, sour gas releases and spills, each of which could result in substantial damage to oil and natural gas wells, production facilities, other property and the environment or in personal injury. In accordance with industry practice, the Company will not be fully insured against all of these risks, nor are all such risks insurable. Although the Company will maintain liability insurance in an amount that it considers consistent with industry practice, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits, in which event the Company could incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial condition. Oil and natural gas production operations are also subject to all the risks typically associated with such operations, including encountering unexpected formations or pressures, premature decline of reservoirs and the invasion of water into producing formations.

The Company's activities are subject to operational risks, hazards and unexpected disruptions, including damage to property or injury to persons, some of which are beyond its control

The Company's planned operations are subject to a number of operational risks and hazards, some of which are beyond its control. These risks and hazards include unexpected maintenance or technical problems, natural disasters, industrial accidents, power or fuel supply interruptions, water supply interruptions and shortages, machinery and equipment failure, malfunction and breakdowns of information management systems, fires, and unusual or unexpected variations in mineralisation, geological conditions, hazards associated with oil and gas exploration and development.

The operations of the Company may be disrupted by a variety of risks and hazards which are beyond the control of the Company, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, technical failures, labour disputes, unusual or unexpected rock formations, earthquakes, flooding and extended interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions, fire, explosions, and other incidents beyond the control of the Company. Other factors affecting the exploration, development and production and sale of oil and gas that could result in decreases in profitability include: (i) expiration or termination of permits, licences or leases, or sales price redeterminations or suspension of deliveries; (ii) future litigation; (iii) the timing and amount of insurance recoveries; (iv) work stoppages or other labour difficulties; (v) worker vacation schedules and related maintenance activities; and (vi) changes in the market and general economic conditions. Weather conditions, equipment replacement or repair, fires, amounts of rock and other natural materials and other geological conditions can have a significant impact on operating results.

These risks and hazards could also result in damage to, or destruction of facilities, personal injury, environmental damage, business interruption, monetary losses and possible legal liability. While the Company currently intends to maintain insurance within ranges of coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover any such claims.

The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company financial position, results of operations or prospects.

The Company is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for its personnel, contractors and visitors. Exploration and production activities have inherent risks and hazards. The Company provides appropriate instructions, equipment, preventative measures, first aid information, and training to all employees and contractors through its occupational, health and safety management systems.

The Company's insurance and indemnities may not adequately cover all risks or expenses

The Company's involvement in the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas properties may result in it becoming subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs, property damage, personal injury or other hazards. Although the Company carries insurance in accordance with industry standards to address certain of these risks, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. In addition, such risks may not in all circumstances be insurable or, in certain circumstances, The Company may elect not to obtain insurance to deal with specific risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to the Company. The occurrence of a significant event that the Company is not fully insured against, including terrorist activities, or the insolvency of the insurer of such event, could have a material adverse effect on the Company financial position, results of operations or prospects.

Availability of drilling and other equipment and access

Oil and natural gas exploration and development activities are dependent on the availability of drilling, hydraulic stimulation and other related equipment in the particular areas where such activities will be conducted. Whilst such equipment is available in Australia it is subject to competing demands which may affect the availability of such equipment to the Company and may delay exploration and development activities.

The Group's operations may be harmful to the environment and may be subject to compliance, clean-up and other costs

All phases of the oil and natural gas business present environmental risks and hazards and are subject to environmental regulation pursuant to a variety of regulations in Australia. Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and natural gas operations.

Applicable legislation also requires that wells and facility sites be licensed, operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs.

The discharge of oil, natural gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to liabilities to governments and third parties and may require the Company to incur costs to remedy such discharge. Although the Company believes it is in material compliance with current applicable environmental regulations, no assurance can be given that environmental laws or agricultural land use requirements will not result in a curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production, development or exploration activities or otherwise adversely affect the Company's financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

The Prospects are subject to various Australian environmental laws. The Company intends to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner at the highest possible standards and in accordance with all applicable laws.

The cost and complexity of complying with the applicable environmental laws and regulations may prevent the Company from being able to develop potentially economically viable oil and gas operations. The Company's operations, production and marketing are subject to various environmental approvals, licences and permits. Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spillages, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive costs and liability.

A violation of health and safety and/or environmental laws relating to oil and gas exploration, at a processing plant or in the course of transportation of hazardous substances, or a failure to comply with the instructions of the relevant authorities, could lead to, among other things, a temporary shutdown of all or a portion of the Group's exploration, processing or logistics operations, a loss of the Group's right to develop, exploit, operate a processing plant or transport products, or the imposition of costly compliance measures, criminal sanctions and/or monetary penalties. The Company will establish various committees, will implement safety and environmental compliance plans and contract officers and staff to oversee inspections and identify necessary corrective action. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's programmes will be effective, will comply with applicable laws or that costs of implementation will not increase significantly.

If health and safety and/or environmental authorities were to require the Company to shut down all or a portion of its exploration operations, or the more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations, such measures could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operation, financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The oil and gas industry is subject to a number of laws and governmental regulations, compliance with which may be burdensome

The oil and natural gas industry in Australia is subject to controls and regulations governing its operations imposed by legislation enacted by the Australian government and with respect to pricing and taxation of oil and natural gas by agreements, all of which should be carefully considered by investors in the oil and gas industry.

The Company's activities are affected in varying degrees by government regulations relating to the oil and gas industry and foreign investment. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, value-added taxes, expropriation of property, production restrictions and environmental legislation. It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect the Company's operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other oil and gas companies of similar size operating in Australia.

However, any change to or the more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operation, financial condition and the price of the Ordinary Shares.

There can be no assurances that new laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments in such respect, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchanges may affect the revenue and overall profitability of the Enlarged Group

As the Company is likely to conduct business across multiple jurisdictions, the Company may be exposed to financial risks associated with fluctuations in currency exchange rates, primarily, at present, between Sterling, Australian and US dollars.

Whilst the Company will seek to hedge its exposure by matching local expense invoices against income received in the same local currencies, adverse exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the Enlarged Group's profitability, as well as the price competitiveness of its services.

Consequently, the Company may not be able to effectively compensate for, or hedge against, such adverse effects and adverse exchange rate movements could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in pricing

The Company's possible future revenues may be derived mainly from sales of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons or from royalties gained from potential joint ventures or other arrangements. Consequently, the Company's potential future earnings will likely be closely related to the price of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons.

The marketability and price of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons that may be acquired or discovered by the Company will be affected by numerous factors beyond its control. The Company's future revenues, profitability, future growth and the carrying value of its properties, provided such properties yield production, are substantially dependent on prevailing prices of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons.

Prices for helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of and demand for helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond the control of the Company. These factors include economic conditions in the United Kingdom and Australia, governmental regulation, and political instability in the Middle East and elsewhere, the supply of oil and gas, the price of foreign imports and the availability of alternative fuel sources.

If the Company is producing helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons and the market price of were to fall below the costs of production and remain at such a level for any sustained period, the Company would experience losses and could have to curtail or suspend some or all of its proposed activities. In such circumstances, the Company would also have to assess the economic impact of any sustained lower commodity prices on recoverability all of which would have a material adverse effect on the Enlarged Group's business, results of operations or financial condition.

Any substantial and extended decline in the price of helium, hydrogen or hydrocarbons would have an adverse effect on the value of the Company's assets, borrowing capacity, revenues, profitability and cash flows from operations.

PART C – RISKS RELATING TO THE PLACING

Determination of Issue Price

Under the Placing, Placees will commit to subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price, which is a fixed price determined by the Company and its broker. The Issue Price may not accurately reflect the trading value of the Placing Shares when issued, or the Company's potential earnings or any other recognised criteria of value.

A1 8.5

PART D – RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE ORDINARY SHARES

A listing on the the Equity Shares (transition) category affords less regulatory protection than a listing on the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category

A listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category will afford investors a lower level of regulatory protection than that afforded to investors in a company listed on the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category, which is subject to additional obligations under the UKLR, which may have an adverse effect on the valuation of the Ordinary Shares.

Volatility of share price and realisation of investment

Re-admission to listing on the Official List should not be taken as implying that there will always be a liquid market in the Ordinary Shares. Investors should be aware that the value of the Ordinary Shares may be volatile and may go down as well as up and investors may therefore not recover the full value of their original investment. The price at which investors may dispose of their Ordinary Shares may be influenced by a number of factors, some of which may pertain to the Company and are set out in this Prospectus and others which are extraneous and in addition to those listed in this Prospectus, including:

  • l the Enlarged Group's operating performance and the performance of competitors and other similar companies;
  • l the market's reaction to the Company's press releases, other public announcements and the Enlarged Group's filings with various securities regulatory authorities;
  • l changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track the Ordinary Shares or the shares of other companies in the resource sector;
  • l changes in general economic conditions;
  • l the number of Ordinary Shares publicly traded;
  • l the arrival or departure of key personnel;
  • l acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures involving the Company, the Enlarged Group or its competitors; and
  • l the factors listed under the heading 'Forward-looking Statements' on page 25 of this Prospectus.

Any such volatility may have an adverse effect on the Company's share price and on any disposal, investors may realise less than the original amount invested.

Dilutive effect of future share issuances

The Placing, Debt Conversion, Conversion and the contemporaneous acquisition of Georgina in exchange for the Initial Consideration Shares will result in the Existing Ordinary Shares being diluted so as to constitute approximately 7% of the Enlarged Share Capital immediately after Re admission.

Further, the Westmarket Loan of £1,199,440 is repayable on demand at any point within five years; and not before two years following Re-admission. The Company, at its sole election, can repay the outstanding amount (and interest thereon) in either cash or in Ordinary Shares.

To the extent that the Company elects to repay the Westmarket Loan in Ordinary Shares, such shares shall be allotted at the lower price of: (a) a 35% discount to the Issue Price; or (b) the volume weighted average price per Ordinary Share for the five trading days immediately preceding the repayment date. On the assumption that the Westmarket Loan is repaid:

  • (i) in Ordinary Shares issued at a 35% discount to the Issue Price; and
  • (ii) at the earliest opportunity following Re-admission, this would result in the allotment of 14,762,336 Ordinary Shares and will result in the Enlarged Share Capital immediately after Re-admission being diluted by approximately 14%.

Following Re-admission the Company may issue some or all of the Performance Shares pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement.

Following Re-admission the Company may also issue additional Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and the LTIP.

In addition to the above allotments and potential allotments, the Enlarged Group may seek to raise financing to fund future acquisitions and other growth opportunities. The Enlarged Group may, for these and other purposes issue additional equity or convertible equity securities.

To the extent that such allotments and issues take place on a non-pre-emptive or partially non-preemptive basis, the Shareholders will suffer dilution in their percentage ownership and/or the price of the Ordinary Shares may be adversely affected.

Exchange rate fluctuation may impact on the value of and the investment in the Ordinary Shares or any dividends in foreign currency terms

The Ordinary Shares will be quoted and any dividends to be paid in respect of them will be paid in pounds sterling. An investment in Ordinary Shares by an investor in a jurisdiction whose principal currency is not pounds sterling exposes the investor to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Any depreciation of the pounds sterling in relation to such foreign currency will reduce the value of the investment of the Ordinary Shares or any dividends in foreign currency terms.

Payment of dividends

The Company cannot assure investors that it will pay dividends in the future. The payment of any future dividends will depend upon earnings and the Company's financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs and such other factors as the Board considers appropriate (including being satisfied that Company will be able to discharge its liabilities as they become due immediately after the payment of that dividend or distribution and will be able to do so for the following 12 months).

PART E – RISKS FACTORS RELATING TO TAXATION

Taxation

The acquisition and disposal of Ordinary Shares will have tax consequences, which will differ depending on the individual financial affairs of each investor. All potential investors in the Company are urged to obtain independent financial advice about the consequences of acquiring Ordinary Shares from a taxation point of view and generally.

PART III

The Ordinary Shares have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States.

The Ordinary Shares may not be taken up, offered, sold, resold, transferred or distributed, directly or indirectly within, into or in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction that is not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act. There will be no public offer in the United States.

Any representations to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Information regarding forward-looking statements

This Prospectus includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control and all of which are based on the Directors' current beliefs and expectations about future events. Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "could", "should", "shall", "risk", "intends", "estimates", "aims", "plans", "predicts", "continues", "assumes", "positioned" or "anticipates" or the negative of those terms, other variations on those terms or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Prospectus and include statements regarding the intentions, beliefs and current expectations of the Directors, the Re-admission Directors or the Enlarged Group concerning, among other things, the results of operations, financial condition, prospects, growth, strategies and dividend policy of the Company and the industries in which it operates.

In particular, the statements the section of this Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" regarding the Enlarged Group's strategy and other future events or prospects are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements and other statements contained in this Prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts are not guarantees of future performance and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. No assurance can be given that such future results will be achieved: actual events or results may differ materially as a result of risks and uncertainties facing the Enlarged Group. Such risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to vary materially from the future results indicated, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors", which should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Prospectus.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are made only as of the date of this Prospectus. The Company, the Directors, the Proposed Directors and the Joint Brokers expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update these forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which such statements are based unless required to do so by applicable law, the Prospectus Regulation Rules, the UKLR, the Listing Rules or the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing appearing under the heading "Forwardlooking statements" constitutes a qualification of the working capital statement set out in paragraph 23 of Part VII of this Prospectus.

THE ACQUISITION AND STRATEGY FOR THE ENLARGED GROUP

1. OVERVIEW

Mining Minerals & Metals Plc

The Company was incorporated and registered as a private limited company in England and Wales on 28 January 2013, and re-registered as a public limited company on 22 October 2018. The Company is limited by shares and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act. The Company's registered number is 08377465.

Other than in connection with its original listing on the standard segment of the official list and London Stock Exchange on 6 March 2020 and seeking acquisition opportunities, the Company has not traded and has not entered into any significant transactions or financial commitments. The Company owns no assets other than cash.

As stated in its IPO Prospectus the Company was established to undertake an acquisition of one or more businesses (either shares or assets) that has operations involved in natural resource exploration, that it would then look to develop and expand, particularly in the mining and oil and gas segments of the natural resources sector.

Georgina is an early-stage well-redevelopment company with a strategy of actively pursuing the exploration, commercial development and monetisation of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon interests located in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. As such, the Proposed Acquisition is entirely consistent with the Company's strategy set out in its IPO Prospectus.

The Directors entered into initial discussions with Georgina in October 2023. A heads of terms was entered into and announced on 26 October 2023. On 11 July 2024, the Company entered into the Acquisition Agreement, conditionally agreeing to acquire the entire issued share capital of the Georgina.

Georgina Energy Plc

Georgina was founded by Mark Wallace and Anthony Hamilton and is an early-stage well-redevelopment company with a strategy of actively pursuing the exploration, commercial development and monetisation of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon interests located in the Amadeus and Officer Basins in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

Georgina currently has two principal onshore interests held through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Westmarket O&G. The first, the Hussar Prospect, in which Westmarket O&G has a 100% working interest, is located in the Officer Basin in Western Australia. The Hussar Prospect is currently the subject of an airborne audio electromagnetic survey. The second, the Mount Winter Prospect, is located in the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory, and in which Westmarket O&G has a right to earn an initial 75% interest in (with the potential to reach 90%) by virtue of the Farmout Agreement. Both Prospects have pre-existing seismically defined structural closures and independently verified recoverable resources, offering a potentially low-cost initial drilling point.

2. PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of Georgina for up to £5 million payable in multiple tranches of Ordinary Shares with an initial payment of the Initial Consideration Shares with additional payments of up to 31,500,000 Performance Shares being payable to the Sellers depending on certain milestones set out in the Acquisition Agreement being achieved. Further details of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are set out in paragraph 16.1 of Part XV of this Document.

Following Re-admission, the Company will be the direct holding company of Georgina and its wholly owned subsidiary Westmarket O&G. Westmarket O&G holds a 100% working interest in the Hussar Prospect and has a right to earn an initial 75% interest (with the potential to reach 90%) in the Mount Winter Prospect.

The Enlarged Group's business will focus on the fulfilment of the strategy detailed in the paragraph headed "Strategy and business model of the Enlarged Group" in paragraph 6 of Part VII of this Prospectus.

An illustrative structure of the Enlarged Group following the Proposed Acquisition is set out below:

As the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a Reverse Takeover, in accordance with Listing Rule 5.6.19G, the FCA is expected to cancel the listing of the Existing Ordinary Shares immediately before 8:00 a.m. (London time) on 30 July 2024.

Applications will be made for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admitted to the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List in accordance with Chapter 22 of the UKLR and to trading on the Main Market. Following Re-admission, the Enlarged Group will comprise the Company, Georgina and its wholly owned subsidiary Westmarket O&G.

The Proposed Acquisition is conditional, inter alia, on Re-admission and the Placing.

The largest single Shareholders immediately after Re-admission are expected to be Anthony Hamilton and Mark Wallace, who will each own and control approximately 12% of the Company's Enlarged Share Capital immediately after Re-admission.

The Company and the Panel have agreed that a number of Shareholders are acting in concert and therefore form a Concert Party. Full details of the Concert Party and the relationships between such shareholders are set out in Part XVI of this Document. The Concert Party will, in the aggregate, own or control approximately 61.7% of the Enlarged Share Capital immediately following Re-admission.

3. PROPOSED PLACING

In conjunction with the Proposed Acquisition, the Placing is being undertaken in order to fund the development of the Prospects and to provide the Enlarged Group with sufficient working capital to fulfil its objectives and strategy during the Working Capital Period. The Placing Shares subscribed for in the Placing at the Issue Price will represent approximately 44% of the Enlarged Share Capital.

The Company, via the Joint Brokers, has received commitments from investors to acquire 40,000,000 Placing Shares at the Issue Price subject only to: (i) the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects (save for Re-admission) and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to Re-admission; and (ii) Re-admission.

The Placing is subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, including Re-admission occurring and becoming effective by no later than 8.00 a.m. on 30 July 2024 (or such later time and/or date as the Company and the Joint Brokers may agree, being not later than 8.00 a.m. on 1 August 2024) and the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

In the event that the Placing does not proceed, the Company will be unable to proceed with the Proposed Acquisition and Re-admission.

Further details of the Placing and its terms are set out in paragraph 16.2 of Part XV of this Document and further details regarding the anticipated use of the Working Capital Net Proceeds are set out in paragraph 16 below.

4. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF GEORGINA AND THE PROSPECTS

Georgina acquired Westmarket O&G, an Australian proprietary limited company incorporated in Australia, in November 2018.

A1 12.1 A1 4.2 A1 4.3 A1 5.3 A1 5.4 A1 5.6 A1 6.2 A1 5.1.2 LR2 2.9(1)

Westmarket O&G holds 100% of the working interest in the Hussar Prospect and has a right to earn a 75% interest in the Mount Winter Prospect (with the potential to reach 90%) under the Farmout Agreement.

The Hussar Prospect and the Mount Winter Prospect are located within the Officer and Amadeus Basins of Western Australia and the Northern Territory respectively. Both basins underlay remote and sparsely populated regions of Australia across a very large swathe of land in the interior of the country. Their combined aerial extent is approximately 480,000 km² (Amadeus: ~170,000 km² & WA portion of Officer: ~310,000 km²), circa twice the land mass of the United Kingdom (242,495 km²). These basins both contain a thick sedimentary sequence of up to 12 km and have a common neoproterozoic centralian superbasin origin.

The Amadeus and Officer Basins are highly prospective for hydrocarbons and contain multiple proven petroleum systems that have the potential to generate large volumes of natural gas from thick source rocks widely distributed across large areas that are proven to be in the gas window.

The region has existing infrastructure such as roads and rail, which include road access to the Darwin Refinery Plant and to the Western Ports, which remain useable. There are also gas pipelines from the Amadeus to Port Darwin and eastern markets and gas pipelines serving the East Coast. The Northern Territory is also benefitting from a \$110bn 10-year infrastructure plan of the Australian government, which has budgeted a proportion for improving the gas infrastructure.

The presence of working petroleum systems has been confirmed by multiple intersections of gas and oil in wells drilled in these basins. In the Amadeus Basin, oil and gas is currently being produced from the Mereenie, Palm Valley, Dingo, and Surprise fields. In addition to gas and oil, very high concentrations of helium have been encountered in Mount Kitty-1 (9% He) and Magee-1 (6.2% He) and very high concentrations of naturally occurring hydrogen have been encountered in Mount Kitty-1 (11% H), the only two wells to have penetrated the early Neoproterozoic sub-salt basal heavitree quartzite reservoir within the Amadeus Basin.

The few wells that have been drilled in the western Officer Basin have encountered multiple hydrocarbon shows within lithostratigraphic equivalent units above the regional salt seal.

The early Neoproterozoic sub-salt petroleum system containing very high concentrations of helium and hydrogen in the Amadeus Basin will be the Company's primary play; a largely underexplored petroleum system within both basins. The Company intends to drill into the heavitree quartzite reservoir in Mount Winter Prospect and the stratigraphic equivalent townsend quartzite reservoir in the Hussar Prospect.

Both the Hussar Prospect and the Mount Winter Prospect potentially contain multi TCF volumes of gas, and possibly significant volumes of helium and hydrogen given the high concentrations of helium encountered by the Mt Kitty-1 and Magee-1 wells and, in addition, the hydrogen concentrations encountered in the Mt Kitty-1 well.

In the opinion of the Re-admission Directors, existing infrastructure in close proximity to Mount Winter lowers the economic threshold for commercial development by providing potential access to eastern domestic gas markets via the national gas pipeline network. The Re-admission Directors believe that projections for an expanding global helium market and Australian Government support for a domestic hydrogen industry also assist in lowering the threshold of commerciality for any confirmed discovery.

The Hussar Prospect (EP 513)

Overview

The Hussar Prospect hosts unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of c.155 BCFG (155 million MCF) of Helium and c.173 BCFG (173 million MCF) of Hydrogen, and c.1.75 TCFGE of Hydrocarbons.

EP 513, the Hussar Prospect, is held solely by Georgina via its wholly owned subsidiary Westmarket O&G. The exploration permit was granted to Westmarket O&G on 12 October 2023.

TN619 para 132(d)

The area consists of 46 graticular blocks, (3,574 km2).

Historic exploration work

The Hussar-1 well drilled in 1982 reached a TD of 2040m in a massive halite (salt) in the upper Browne Formation above the basal townsend quartzite beds. High mud gas readings and trip gas was encountered across multiple zones wherever porosity was present during the drilling of the well demonstrating a working petroleum system.

The Prospect is a very large structure and may potentially hold significant volumes of gaseous hydrocarbons, helium and hydrogen. Current estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons for the Hussar Prospect, specific only to the subsalt townsend quartzite are summarised in Table 2.

Recent activity

During the period covered by the historic financial information, Georgina has undertaken the following activities at the Hussar Prospect:

  • l A review of the available historic 2D siesmic as part of the evaluation submission for proposed work programs to DMIRS and approval;
  • l AEM-PTP Survey has been completed at Hussar and showed significant gas anomalies;
  • l The Hussar AEM-PTP survey has been interpreted as part of a semi-regional exploration program in the Officer Basin, Western Australia;
  • l Confirmation of the feasibility of storing helium and hydrogen in solution-mined salt caverns, within the project area;
  • l Native Title access agreement to allow project development and site access;
  • l Completion of an approved environmental plan for the overall management and operation of the Prospect; and
  • l Grant of EP 513 for six years from 12 October 2023

Proposed activity

To date, it has not been possible to image and map basement structuring on most of the existing datasets at the Hussar Prospect with confidence due to the influence of magnetic sediments in the shallower flat-lying Permian and Cretaceous cover which mask the deeper basement signal over the Hussar Prospect.

TN619 para 132(b)

Georgina has acquired an airborne audio electromagnetics survey using passive transient pulses (AEM-PTP) which measures a geophysical response to reduction and oxidation activity associated with upward fluid flow. This is often the result of outgassing from a hydrocarbon accumulation or in response to the upward flow of hydrothermal fluids.

The technique may also assist in determining the integrity of any salt seal that may be present over the Hussar Prospect. AEM-PTP surveys flown at 18 km line spacing elsewhere in the basin have proven to be an effective method of outlining likely areas of hydrocarbon accumulations, subject to further seismic and drilling.

The first AEM-PTP survey at Hussar by Georgina was completed in 2022. Subject to positive results from the interpretation of the AEM-PTP survey and review of the existing airborne gravity dataset, during the Working Capital period the Company proposes to commence the re-entry and deepening of the Hussar-1 well, to a new proposed TD of approximately 3,200 meters. The primary reservoir target in the Hussar Prospect is the Townsend Quartzite, a lateral stratigraphic equivalent to the heavitree quartzite in the Mount Winter Prospect.

The anticipated drilling timeline for Hussar is as follows:

The pathway to drilling and production is based on and subject to the following:

  • l applications for drilling permits, environmental and other clearances;
  • l successful processing of additional seismic and recently completed AEM-PTP surveys;
  • l re-entering and deepening of EP513 Hussar (to TD 3,200m) for Helium, Hydrogen & Natural Gas;
  • l utilising the existing road and drill pad locations for production;
  • l commencing negotiations with Darwin Helium Refinery (currently on care & maintenance, which provides a field plant for the cryogenic recovery of raw Hydrogen and Helium ) which if successful, will enable the Helium and Hydrogen to be trucked to the Darwin plant for refining and can then be easily converted to ammonia, for economical safe long-distance transport & export;
  • l completing the costing evaluation of Salt Cavern Storage which will allow the products to be stored on-site bunker facilities or solution mined salt caverns (following a recently completed Salt Cavern study commissioned by Georgina);
  • l completing the off-take agreement with Harlequin Energy for Hydrogen and Helium (which is currently under MOU) purification by way of pressure swing absorption recovery into high purity products. Georgina intends to supply from the wellhead under this agreement to mitigate infrastructure costs; and
  • l Natural Gas to power in-situ plants to separate Hydrogen & Helium with produced CO2 being sequestered permanently in solution mined salt caverns, in order to create eco-friendly Blue Hydrogen and Helium.

Once Hussar has been initially drilled and commercialised, it is intended that secondary wells will be developed.

Geology

The Hussar Prospect is a very large structural closure with an apparent aerial extent estimated at approximately 200 km2. Hydrocarbon shows in the Hussar-1 well at TD, immediately above the pre-salt townsend quartzite reservoir target, confirm the presence of an active petroleum system at this level warranting further evaluation.

Area Acres (A)

Mapping of the Hussar Prospect by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Simeonova and Iasky) at both the Top Hussar Formation and base Neoprotoerozic level confirms a large elongate feature and shows that the Hussar-1 well may not have been drilled in an optimal crestal location. Although a sparse seismic grid, it provides a view on the aerial extent of the Hussar structure at depth and a depth to basement of approximately 3,200m.

Height ft. (h)

This is an estimate of the potential thickness of the townsend quartzite reservoir that may be intersected by the deepening or re-drilling of the Hussar-1 Well as proposed by the Company. Outcrop mapping in the basin has recorded thicknesses of up to 370m, however a conservative 100m (328 ft) thickness for the basal townsend quartzite has been prognosed at the 2U resource level with a 50% reduction at 1U and a doubling thickness prognosed at 3U given thickness variability of the townsend across the Officer Basin.

Porosity (Φ)

A reported measurement of porosity that is applicable to the townsend quartzite reservoir is its equivalent within the Amadeus Basin; the heavitree quartzite reservoir where it was intersected in the Magee-1 well located approximately 1100km east of the Hussar structure, reporting a porosity of up to 9% (Pacific Oil & Gas Pty. Limited, Magee-1 WCR; November 1992).

Only two wells in the Officer Basin have penetrated the subsalt townsend quartzite to basement; Kutjara-1 and Mulyawara-1, both located approximately 900km southeast of Hussar-1 in South Australia. Porosity in these wells ranged from 5-30% on raw uncorrected CNL logs and in the Kutjara-1 well, Total Gas units recorded ranged up to 10,000 units.

However, the townsend quartzite target in the Hussar Prospect is significantly deeper than at Kutjara-1 and Mulyawara-1 and so is likely to be more affected by long-term diagenetic silicification resulting in reduced effective porosity.

The Mount Winter Prospect (EP 155)

Overview

The Mount Winter Prospect hosts unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of c.148 BCFG (148 million MCF) of helium and c.135 BCFG (135 million MCF) of hydrogen, and c.1.22 TCFGE (Trillion Cubic Feet Equivalent) of hydrocarbons.

Historic exploration work

Interpretation of the available seismic and geological data suggests that the Mount Winter Prospect is a basement structure overlain by a thick (up to 600m plus) heavitree quartzite reservoir that is sealed by thick evaporitic (salt) units of the Gillen Member of the late Proterozoic Bitter Springs Formation.

TN619 para 132(d)

In 1982 the Mt Winter-1 well was drilled to a TD of 2650m and encountered significant hydrocarbon shows within sandstones and siltstones of the Bitter Springs Formation directly above a large early Neoproterozoic sub-salt basal prospect in the Amadeus Basin.

The Company proposes to re-enter and deepen Mt Winter-1 to a new TD of 3,400 metres to test this reservoir target.

The primary reservoir target at the Mount Winter Prospect (the heavitree quartzite) has only ever been targeted by three wells and gas flow tested by two, Mt Kitty-1 (2014) and Magee-1 (1982) located approximately 250km and 325km respectively to the southeast of EPA 155, within the Amadeus Basin.

Both wells tested gas with a high content of helium, 9% in Mt Kitty-1 and 6.2% in Magee-1, Mt Kitty-1 also contained 11% hydrogen. The third well to target the pre-salt, Dukas-1 located approximately 250km to the southeast of EP 155, spudded in 2019 and was suspended before reaching the heavitree quartzite due to very high-pressure gas being encountered just above the Heavitree which exceeded the safety limits of the drilling rig. In the Re-admission Directors' opinion, the presence of high-pressure gas is interpreted to be encouraging and suggests a possible large gas column and potentially a large gas field.

Current estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of Helium, Hydrogen & Hydrocarbons for the Mount Winter Prospect are summarised in Table 2 above.

Ownership of Mount Winter

The Mount Winter Prospect was applied for by OilCo (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mosman) on 12 May 2008 and Georgina via its wholly owned subsidiary Westmarket O&G entered into the Farmout Agreement with OilCo, on 11 May 2020.

Westmarket O&G is managing the Prospect and is entitled to earn up to a 75% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155 subject to satisfying certain requirements (including work and expenditure commitments) specified in the Farmout Agreement.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Farmout Agreement, at OilCo's election, Westmarket O&G may earn an additional 15% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155 (for a maximum 90% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155) subject to satisfying certain requirements (including further work and expenditure commitments) as specified in the Farmout Agreement.

As at the date of this Document, EP 155 has not been granted. It is the Boards' expectation that the application for EP 155 will be granted, subject to the pre-requisites for the grant being satisfied. Once granted, EP 155 cannot be transferred to Westmarket O&G until ministerial consent to the transfer is given; and OilCo, as the counterparty under the Farmout Agreement, complying with its obligations to make such a transfer. Further details in relation to the Farmout Agreement are set out in paragraph 16.25 of Part XV of this Document.

Certain third-party agreements held by the Northern Territory Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade exist in connection with EP 155. To the extent that they apply to EP 155, Westmarket O&G will assume any outstanding obligations under those third-party agreements, in proportion to its interest in EP 155. Pursuant to an overriding royalty deed dated 27 August 2014, there is an obligation to pay a private royalty, details of which are set out in paragraph 16.24 of Part XV of this Document.

TN619 para 132(c)

Conditions to grant EP 155

Pursuant to the Farmout Agreement (further details of which are set out in paragraph 16.25 of Part XV of this Document), Westmarket O&G is entitled to earn up to a 75% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155 (and at OilCo's election, Westmarket O&G may earn an additional 15% legal and beneficial interest (for a maximum 90% legal and beneficial interest in EP 155)) subject to satisfying certain requirements (including activity and expenditure commitments) specified in the Farmout Agreement.

EP 155 was applied for by OilCo Pty Ltd on 12 May 2008 and is located on "Aboriginal land" as defined in ALRA. As such, OilCo's application for EP 155 cannot be granted unless:

  • l Consent under ALRA is given by the Land Council;
  • l the Land Council and OilCo have entered into a Land Council Agreement; and
  • l the relevant Minister gives consent to the grant of the licence.

Westmarket O&G along with OilCo received an extension to the consent to negotiate under ALRA from the Land Council on 19 October 2023 and currently have until 31 October 2024 to enter into a Land Council Agreement. This period can be extended again, by agreement of the Land Council, if necessary and whilst it is the Re-admission Directors' expectation that the Land Council Agreement will be entered into before 31 October 2024, there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.

Once the Land Council Agreement has been entered into and the licence granted to OilCo, in order to obtain ministerial consent to transfer the licence, an application to transfer must be submitted by Westmarket O&G to the Minister and an appropriate person test is carried out by the Minister in relation to Westmarket O&G.

An application to transfer is expected to be made following completion of the work commitments outlined the Farmout Agreement and it is the Re-admission Directors' expectation that in the ordinary course, and assuming that all necessary information is supplied to the Minister as part of the application to transfer, the Minister's approval would be granted in the order of one to two months from the date of application however there can be no guarantee that this will be the case.

Georgina has no direct involvement in this application so is unable to influence this process and is unable to earn an interest in EP 155 until the application is granted to OilCo and, once granted, will require ministerial approval to effect the transfer of the interest to Georgina.

Recent activity

During the period covered by the historic financial information, Georgina has undertaken the following activities at the Mount Winter Prospect:

  • l Report on appropriate planning and costs with timelines, of re-entry to drill to basement and test the subsalt basement clastic horizon helium targets on the well at Mount Winter
  • l Confirmation of the feasibility of storing helium and hydrogen in solution-mined salt caverns, within the project area
  • l A review of the available historic 2D siesmic as part of the evaluation submission for proposed work programs to DMIRS and approval
  • l Grant of extension to complete negotiations for access agreements to Mount Winter with negotiations ongoing per the granted extension to 31 October 2024.

Geology

The Mount Winter Prospect is a large structural closure with an aerial extent estimated at over 13 km2. The results of Mount Winter-1, Magee-1, Mount Kitty-1, and Dukas-1 have been encouraging and notable in highlighting the pre-salt heavitree Quartzite play for Hydrocarbons, Helium and Hydrogen.

Area Acres (A)

The Mount Winter-1 Well Completion Report (WCR) Enclosure #1, provides a depth structure map at the top of the Pre-Cambrian, top of the Proterozoic Areyonga Formation in the well, based on the interpretation of the seismic dataset over the structure. The top of the Pre-Cambrian map shows an East-West elongated double anticline with four-way dip closure truncated to the North and South by two East West trending reverse faults. The map has been tied to the Mt Winter-1 well intersect of the top of the Proterozoic Areyonga Formation at a depth of 1,485m measured depth. It is interpreted by Gorter JD, Fenton, Dee CN & Schroder RF for Pancontinental Petroleum Limited that the stratigraphy within supersequence 1 is expected to be generally conformable and hence the projection of the structure at the top of the Proterozoic onto the top of the heavitree quartzite reservoir target provides reasonable base case estimates for area in our calculation. The SEEBASE ("Structurally Enhanced view of Economic Basement") imagery over the Mount Winter location confirms the presence of a large basement structure beneath mapped Pre-Cambrian closure located on a regional intra-basin feature known as the central ridge.

Seismic interpretation and mapping conducted by Central Petroleum Limited, operator of the EP 115 permit which surrounds EP 155, suggests that the Mount Winter Prospect basement contour area is significantly larger than the top Pre-Cambrian structure. As interpreted by CPL the structure broadens considerably at depth below the Pre-Cambrian and is an extension to a significantly larger feature identified as "Zevon" by CPL.

Height ft. (h)

This is an estimate of the potential thickness of the heavitree quartzite reservoir that may be intersected by the deepening or re-drilling of the Mount Winter-1 Well as proposed by the Company. The average thickness of the quartzite and its equivalents within the Amadeus was estimated to be in the range 100–300m, however, in the same paper by Lindsay, produced an isopach contour map of the subsalt heavitree quartzite target reservoir in the Amadeus Basin showing the prognosed thickness of the heavitree at Mount Winter as being over 600m. Santos also presented the same isopach map in 2015. The range of height estimates for our calculation can be discerned through possible adjustments of the Isopach map and thickness ranges of the heavitree quartzite where exposed at the surface on the basin fringes.

Porosity (Φ)

The only reported measurement of drilled porosity of the heavitree quartzite reservoir was in the Magee-1 well located approximately 325 kilometres to the southeast, the only well to have drilled through and tested the heavitree to date, reporting porosities of up to 9% (Pacific Oil & Gas Pty. Limited, Magee-1 WCR; November 1992). In Mount Kitty-1, the heavitree quartzite reservoir was missing but hydrocarbons and the helium were hosted by fracted basement granite. Most reservoirs at this depth, over millions of years, are likely to be affected by long term diagenetic silicification, hence 9% porosity was used at the upper end (3U) of the range for porosity.

Helium Content (% He) & Hydrogen Content (% H2)

Helium has been measured in four wells within the Amadeus Basin, with particularly high concentrations at Mt Kitty-1 (9%) and Magee-1 (6.2%); hydrogen concentration in Mt Kitty-1 was 11%.

5. HELIUM, HYDROGEN AND HYDROCARBONS

Helium

Helium is a key play in Georgina's Prospects both containing large structures that potentially hold significant volumes of natural gas and helium.

TN619 para 132(c)

The bulk of the world's Helium has been sourced from sub-salt clastic reservoirs overlying basement granitoids in eight oil and gas fields located on the Four Corners Platform of north- western New Mexico since 1943 from reservoirs of Permian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, and Devonian age. High concentrations of Helium are produced from these reservoirs together with relatively high nitrogen content.

The Helium reservoirs in the oil and gas fields located on the Four Corners Platform, although significantly younger, are a perfect analogue to the Company's helium play in the Amadeus and Officer basins. The significantly higher concentrations of helium encountered at Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1 is likely a consequence of the much greater time period over which Heavitree and Townsend reservoirs have been exposed to Helium generation and entrapment.

The testing of such high concentrations of Helium in two out of only two wells to have drilled the basal Heavitree Quartzites, and reportedly at high concentrations in mud gas of the Amadeus Basin Dukas ST- 1 well just above the targeted Heavitree Quartzite suggests the likelihood of high concentrations of helium gas being widespread across the ancient pre- salt reservoirs within the Amadeus Basin and possibly within laterally stratigraphic pre-salt equivalents in the western Officer Basin.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a key resource in the move towards decarbonisation as countries across the globe look to reduce carbon output with ongoing research into creating affordable hydrogen batteries.

A small portion of global hydrogen resources have been identified in naturally occurring reservoirs where it is found with helium and natural gas. The source of this type of pure hydrogen gas is thought to be associated with doleritic sills, igneous rocks introduced into the reservoir via volcanic activity, and underground aquifers within the reservoir. The introduction of radioisotopes into these reservoirs by igneous sills (or by naturally occurring radiogenic minerals such as Uranium and Thorium) results in the fracking of the water within the aquifers generating hydrogen and introducing a hydrogen gas charge into the reservoir. This process is a non-hydrocarbon (non-fossil) source of hydrogen gas with an estimated exploitation price that is significantly lower than any other manufactured source of the gas. Such naturally occurring hydrogen sources have been encountered at the Mt Kitty 1 well in the Amadeus Basin at concentrations up to 11% and the potential of similar occurrences at both Prospects are being targeted by Georgina.

In 2014 the Mt Kitty-1 well in the Amadeus Basin flowed gas from four separate flow intervals at a maximum flow rate of 0.53 MMcfd, with up to 11% hydrogen gas by volume confirming a naturally occurring reservoir containing in-situ hydrogen with other hydrocarbons. This extremely high hydrogen content is potentially a secondary play in Georgina's EPA 155 in the Heavitree and Townsend quartzite reservoirs being targeted.

Hydrocarbons

All indications from the available dataset suggest gaseous hydrocarbons are potentially a valuable play within Georgina's assets. Petroleum System 1 in the Amadeus Basin and its lateral equivalent in the Officer Basin is likely to be gas prone given the depth of burial of source rocks of the Bitter Springs and Browne formations respectively and hydrocarbon shows in this petroleum system in the wells drilled to date.

6. STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The proposed work programmes aim to de-risk the re-entry and deepening of previously drilled wells that have demonstrated a working petroleum system exists in the shallower geology directly above the primary pre-salt heavitree and townsend quartzite Helium and Hydrogen reservoir targets of the Prospects.

  • l Hussar-1 has a current TD of 2,040m, the new planned TD is 3,200m, an additional 1,160m of new drilling is planned assuming approximately 400m of salt is present in the new section on a base case scenario.
  • l Mt Winter-1 in EP 155 in the Amadeus Basin has a current TD of 2,650m, depth to basement is interpreted to be approximately 3,400m at the well location. Subject to the grant of EP 155, an additional 750m of new drilling is being planned assuming approximately 200m of salt is intersected in the new hole section on a base case scenario.

Georgina has completed multiple studies and analysis of the available data in relation to the Prospect areas and their surroundings and is currently reviewing other opportunities covering large areas across the centralian superbasin that may contain prospects and leads with multi TCF potential for gaseous hydrocarbons, hydrogen and helium.

The ongoing and, projected, increases in demand continue to support significant price increases for helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons which in turn helps lower the commercial threshold for the development of any proven resources.

Georgina has reviewed options for the possible commercialisation of any successfully discovered and proven reserves of helium and/or hydrogen and/or hydrocarbons.

Although the Company's strategy is to sell all gases at the wellhead to an industry partner who has the capacity to design, install and commission an appropriate separation and extraction plant, the key issue for the monetisation of any successful discovery is transport to market of any of these products.

A large gaseous hydrocarbon discovery can potentially be transported to market via construction of a pipeline spur to connect to the closest point on the national gas pipeline network.

The nearest pipeline connection point to the Mount Winter Prospect is approximately 150 km to the east at the end of the Mereenie gas pipeline which interconnects with the main Alice Springs to Darwin gas pipeline, from here hydrocarbon gas can access the Eastern domestic gas market, subject to capacity constraints. A 6" c.150 km gas pipeline connection to Mereenie has been estimated to cost in the order of AU\$45 million by Georgina.

The closest connection point to the national pipeline network for the Hussar Prospect is approximately 300 km to the southwest at the end of the 8 TJ/day (c. 8 MMCFGD) Yamarna gas pipeline at the Gruyere mine site operated by Gold Road Resources Limited. The estimated cost for a 6-inch pipeline to connect to the end of the Yamarna pipeline has been estimated to cost approximately AU\$90 million by Georgina.

Any separation plant designed to separate hydrocarbons from inert gases and to produce helium and/or hydrogen will use a significant volume of associated hydrocarbons to provide energy to such a plant or plants, however, a commercial discovery of any of these gases is likely to include sufficient hydrocarbons to power such plants.

Gaseous hydrocarbons remaining after the requisite energy consumption of a separation plant could be piped to market via the construction of a spur line connect to the closest point on the National gas pipeline grid.

The processing, and hence transportation options, for gaseous Hydrocarbons will be highly dependent on the scale of any commercial discovery. A large natural gas resource is most likely best transported to markets via a pipeline, while a smaller possibly marginal gas resource may be economically developed using a mini-LNG plant.

Preliminary enquiries by the Company indicate that there is strong interest from various international and domestic suppliers of the identified gases in the purchase of all products at wellheads with such suppliers taking on the mandate of separation, extraction, liquefaction and containerisation of the various product lines potentially available.

7. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Helium

Helium is a naturally occurring inert gas that is colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-toxic, and is the second most abundant gas in the Universe after hydrogen. It is the second lightest gas in the Universe and hence is non-renewable on Earth as it escapes into space once it is released into the atmosphere. However, it is rare on Earth and is formed through natural radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements, such as uranium and thorium, deep within the Earth. It is found within natural gas reserves in sub-surface geological traps, generally, in concentrations of less than 7% by volume.

Commercial production of helium is via extraction from natural gas production streams, in Australia it is only produced from the Bayu-Undan gas stream at Conoco-Phillips liquefied nitrogen gas (LNG) plant in Darwin by BOC Limited which opened a helium production facility in 2010. Helium concentration in the Bayu-Undan Gasfield is no greater than 0.1% but by the time the gas has been treated in the LNG trains, non-commercial gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide have been removed, the helium concentration rises to c.2-3% so that it can then be economically extracted from the tail gases.

Helium is vital to our technologically driven society and is critical to the manufacturing processes of many 'high- tech' industries. It is an irreplaceable gas that has ever increasing uses given the continuing expansion of technology in our day-to-day lives. Further to this 'natural' growth in demand, the current global shortage of semiconductors and the expanding technology 'arms race' between the Western economies and China is likely to increase the momentum of demand growth.

Despite the effects of COVID on the global economy in 2020-21 there continues to be upward pressures on the price of helium for the foreseeable future driven by continued demand grow, as identified above, and anticipated tightening of supply. From a supply perspective, recent low LNG prices have resulted in the postponement or cancelation of a number of significant new LNG projects, the source of the input stream from which helium is stripped out, stimming supply growth and ensuring a continued supply side issue for the global helium market.

These demand and supply factors continue to support high helium pricing demonstrated at the last auction for bulk volumes of Grade-A (or 99.99% purity) industrial helium sold off from the US Federal Helium Reserve by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in 2018.

In the 12 months to February 2023 Chinese pricing for helium increased 71% to US\$623/mcf. This price increase is in line with other Asian countries where Qatar is the primary source for helium such as South Korea and Taiwan. Imports from Qatar averaged US\$566/mcf were up 65% in the 12 months to April 2023 with the spread of pricing in different provinces ranging from ~US\$500 to 900/mcf. Overall volumes remained stable averaging at ~70mmcf/month in that same period. In January 2023, a single cargo from Russia sold for US\$1,460/mcf, which was the same price as an ISO in October 2022. Volumes from Russia have been continuously turbulent since the Amur plant caught fire and the Ukraine war began in February 2022. There has was a much wider spread of pricing for US imports in the 12 months to April 2023, with pricing for some ISOs also exceeding US\$1,000/mcf (Source: Akap Energy: China's Helium Prices +71% YTD as Imports Boost from Qatar, April 2023).

Helium's unique properties and uses combined with its rarity, given its very low concentrations in naturally occurring reservoirs, are significant factors in helium's high valuation. The concentrations of Helium in the reservoirs of all the world's Helium producers in 2015 do not exceed 2% by volume.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen gas (H2) burnt as a fuel with oxygen (O2) produces water (H2O) and releases energy;

$$\text{2H2(g)} + \text{O2 (g)} \rightarrow \text{2H2O (g)} + \text{energy.}$$

It is an extremely clean form of energy production and is consequently a major focus of governments globally as the world aims to de-carbonise its energy sector.

Hydrogen has a long-established market in the production of fertilisers, refining, and to a lesser degree it is used in the petrochemicals industry and in some manufacturing.

International efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in significant interest in the use of hydrogen as an alternate form of clean and renewable energy with many governments supporting initiatives, with a significant focus in the transportation sector where it's major use is in commercial fuel cell vehicles; Toyota in particular has been a major proponent of its use in passenger cars.

As a consequence of global interest in hydrogen being a green source of energy for the future and an increase in the number of governments providing incentives and targets for hydrogen utilisation in their economies a broad range of analysts forecast significant growth in utilisation and demand for hydrogen.

Hydrogen is, inter alia, currently produced through steam methane reforming using natural gas as a feedstock, however, production in this manner, in the absence of any Carbon Capture and Storage mechanism is not seen as key to the success of hydrogen as a green energy alternate for the world's dependence on fossil fuels unless renewable energy sources are utilised for its production processes. At present significant volumes of CO2 are produced through the steam methane reforming process. Naturally occurring Hydrogen is however, a significantly greener and cheaper option which is now the focus of exploration companies like Georgina.

The Australian government is a significant supporter for the production, use and export of hydrogen, providing policy support and financial backing of several pilot and small-scale demonstration projects, some state governments are considering the addition of up to 10% hydrogen into municipal gas networks.

Hydrocarbons (gas)

Demand for gas in Australia continues to rise for both domestic use and export as LNG. By 2020 gas-fired power generation had grown to account for 21% of Australia's total electricity generation capacity. Australian government policy considers gas a clean energy alternative to coal and oil and supports the expansion of gas production and utilisation in its carbon emissions reduction plans for the short term. Australia's significant developed gas reserves have made Australia the world's largest exporter of LNG, although this is not likely to continue for long.

Current government supply and demand projections predict a shortfall of gas supply which is likely to put upward pressure on gas pricing. Declining reserves in eastern Australian gas fields and forecast demand growth over the next 20 years predicts that Australia may need to start gas imports within the next 5 years to meet domestic demand.

The current, and ongoing, opposition to coal seam gas operations on the eastern seaboard, combined with state governments not renewing existing leases will continue to restrict gas supplies to east coast markets. Anticipated gas shortages are already putting upward pressures on domestic supply. In reaction to this the federal government has declared support for inland pipelines to transport gas to the eastern seaboard. This has encouraged a renewed interest in central Australian basins which for decades have delivered encouraging results for the exploration and exploitation of natural gas, but remain underexplored frontier basins.

8. REGULATORY OVERVIEW

Western Australian onshore oil exploration legislation

The Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act 1967 of Western Australia governs the exploration for and production of petroleum in onshore Western Australia. The WA Petroleum Act establishes a regime that enables the grant of title to an area of land allowing the holder of that title to conduct exploration, testing and production of petroleum.

The term "petroleum" is defined in the WA Petroleum Act to include naturally occurring hydrocarbons (whether in a gaseous, liquid or solid state) with hydrogen sulphide, nitrogen, helium or carbon dioxide or any combination of them.

The following is a brief discussion of the regulation of exploring for and extraction of petroleum by the issue of:

  • l a petroleum exploration permit (EP);
  • l a petroleum drilling reservation (DR);
  • l a petroleum retention leases (RL); and
  • l a petroleum production licences (PL).

The holder of any petroleum permit, lease or licence must:

  • l comply with any conditions or grant of the relevant title;
  • l comply with the provisions of the WA Petroleum Act and any other relevant legislation; and
  • l commence and carry out works in accordance with the provisions of the WA Petroleum Act

The holder of the title may be required to compensate the landowner if operations interfere with activities of the landowner or cause damage to the land.

The WA Petroleum Act does not impose restrictions on the holder of a petroleum permit, lease or licence in relation to production sharing or joint venture arrangements.

Exploration Permits

Eps are granted for a 6-year term and that term may be renewed for 2 further periods each of 5 years at the Minister's discretion provided at least half of the area of the EP is relinquished on each renewal.

The area of land in respect of which an EP may be granted must be contained in a single licence area, not exceeding 400 graticular blocks. The area comprising one graticular block is approximately 3.2 square kilometres.

Under section 38 of the WA Petroleum Act, the holder of an EP has the exclusive right to explore for petroleum and to carry on such operations and execute such works as are necessary for that purpose in the EP area, subject to any conditions attached to the grant of the EP and any directions from the Minister.

If exploration under an EP discloses areas of prospectivity or possible production the holder of the EP may apply for a DR, an RL or a PL depending upon the scope and extent of the discovery.

Drilling Reservation

In Western Australia petroleum exploration is generally carried out by way of an Exploration Permit. In certain circumstances exploration can also be carried out by way of a Drilling Reservation.

A Drilling Reservation is a prospect-size title granted under the WA Petroleum Act that allows drilling and other exploratory operations, such as seismic surveying, in support of the drilling operation. Drilling Reservations are granted for a period up to 3 years (at the discretion of the Minister) and only where a drillable target has already been identified.

Retention Lease

Under the WA Petroleum Act, an RL may be applied for in relation to the whole or part of the area of an EP where the presence of petroleum has been established, notice has been given to the Minister of the presence of the petroleum and where the Minister is satisfied that the petroleum present is not currently commercially viable but may become so within not more than 15 years.

The size of the RL is limited to the area of the discovery. If granted, a RL remains in force for a period of 5 years and may be renewed for a further period of 5 years upon application to the Minister assuming that the discovery is not commercially viable at the time of application for renewal.

The holder of a RL is conferred the exclusive right to carry on in the licence area such geological, geophysical and geochemical programmes and other operations and works as are reasonably necessary to evaluate the development potential of the petroleum believed to be present in the license area.

Where the Minister is satisfied that commercial production of petroleum should commence in a RL area, the holder of the RL must apply for a production licence in relation to these blocks. The Minister may request a review of the commercial viability of the discovery at any time.

Production Licence

Under the WA Petroleum Act any person who already holds an EP or RL may apply for one or more PLs in relation to the whole or part of the EP or RL area.

Where the Minister has received an application for the PL, and is satisfied that the applicant has complied with the requirements the Minister must grant to the applicant a PL in relation to specific blocks under section 29(3) or section 42(2) of the WA Petroleum Act. Where the Minister grants a PL, the Minister may only grant the PL in relation to the minimum number of blocks, which in the Minister's opinion, is reasonably necessary for the applicant to fully exploit the commercially exploitable accumulation of petroleum.

The PL may be granted for an indefinite term as determined by the Minister commensurate with the proposed production plus an additional 5 years. Once granted, the holder of the PL is granted the exclusive right to:

  • l continue exploration;
  • l recover petroleum on the license area; and

l carry out such operations and execute such works in the license area as are necessary for the exploration and recovery of petroleum.

Royalty

Under the WA Petroleum Act a royalty of 10% of the "royalty value" of the petroleum recovered is payable to the state. The "royalty value" is generally the wellhead value of the petroleum produced.

Transfer of petroleum interests

Under section 72 of the WA Petroleum Act, the holder of an EP, RL or PL may transfer the whole or any part of its interest in the permit, lease or licence by applying to the Minister for approval. No legal or equitable interest in the permit or licence is conveyed until the instrument of transfer has been approved by the Minister and registered on the petroleum title register under section 72(10) of the WA Petroleum Act).

Aboriginal Heritage

Pursuant to the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (WA) (AHA), it is an offence to use land in a way that:

  • l excavates, destroys, damages, conceals or in any way alters an Aboriginal site; or
  • l alters, damages, removes, destroys, conceals, or who deals with in a manner not sanctioned by relevant custom, or assumes the possession, custody or control of, any object on or under an Aboriginal site,

without the consent of the relevant Minister. It is also an offence to be in possession, custody or control of such objects without the consent of the Minister. The penalties under the AHA include fines and imprisonment.

An Aboriginal site or object may exist in an area where native title has been extinguished.

Native title

The common law of Australia recognises a form of native title which, in circumstances where it has not been extinguished, reflects the entitlement of Australia's indigenous inhabitants, in accordance with their laws or customs, to their traditional lands. Native title may be wholly or partially extinguished by the valid exercise of governmental powers provided there was a clear and plain intention to do so.

Environmental requirements

There are environmental obligations under the WA Petroleum Act and other relevant legislation. A permit holder must:

  • l prevent the escape or waste of drilling fluid, petroleum or water;
  • l not damage any petroleum bearing strata; and
  • l prevent any material entering any petroleum pool.

Northern Territory onshore exploration

The Petroleum Act 1984 (NT) governs the exploration for and production of petroleum in the Northern Territory. The NT Petroleum Act establishes a regime that enables the exploration, testing and production of petroleum.

The term "petroleum" is defined in the NT Petroleum Act as follows:

  • l a naturally occurring hydrocarbon, whether in a gaseous, liquid or solid state;
  • l a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbons, whether in a gaseous, liquid or solid state; or
  • l a naturally occurring mixture of one or more hydrocarbons, whether in a gaseous, liquid or solid state, with hydrogen sulphide, nitrogen, helium or carbon dioxide or any combination of them,

and includes a hydrocarbon as defined above that has been returned to a natural reservoir.

Pursuant to section 6 of the NT Petroleum Act, all petroleum on or below the surface of land within the Northern Territory is the property of the Crown of the Northern Territory. The property in petroleum produced from a well in the area of a PL passes to the holder of the PL at the wellhead. The Northern Territory retains a royalty with respect to petroleum production discussed further in this Report.

Exploration Permits

EPs remain in force for 5 years and may be renewed for 2 further periods at the Minister's discretion.

The area of land in respect of which an EP may be granted must be contained in a single licence area, not exceeding 200 blocks. The area comprising one graticular block is approximately 3.2 square kilometres.

Pursuant to section 29 of the NT Petroleum Act, the holder of an EP has the exclusive right to explore for petroleum and to carry on such operations and execute such works as are necessary for that purpose in the EP area, subject to its conditions and any directions from the Minister.

Every EP shall, unless expressly waived, varied or suspended in writing by the Minister, be granted subject to the conditions imposed under section 27 of the NT Petroleum Act.

Under section 81 of the NT Petroleum Act the holder of an EP must pay the owner and occupier of land comprised in the EP for:

  • l deprivation of use or enjoyment of the land, including improvements on the land; and
  • l damage caused to the land, including improvements on the land.

The holder of the EP shall not commence exploration operations unless the holder has given notice to the owner of the land comprised in the EP and any occupier of the land who has a registered interest in that land. The holder of the EP must then notify the Minister that the holder has notified all owners and occupiers.

The holder of the EP must compensate the owner where any land over which a right to construct a road or carry out other work to ensure access to an EP area is injured or diminished in value under s 82 of the NT Petroleum Act.

Retention Licence

Under section 31 of the NT Petroleum Act, one or more RL may be applied for in relation to the whole or part of the area of an EP where the presence of petroleum has been established, notice has been given to the Minister of the presence of the petroleum and where the Minister is satisfied that the petroleum present is potentially of a commercial quality and quantity.

The size of the RL is limited to an area which is constituted by more than 12 blocks, or more than one block unless the blocks form a discrete area which conforms to an approved shape (refer to section 33 of the NT Petroleum Act). If granted, a RL remains in force for a period of 5 years and may be renewed upon application to the Minister.

The holder of a RL is conferred the exclusive right to carry on in the licence area such geological, geophysical and geochemical programmes and other operations and works as are reasonably necessary to evaluate the development potential of the petroleum believed to be present in the license area.

Where the Minister is satisfied that that commercial production of petroleum should commence in a RL area, the Minister may require the holder of the RL to show why a production licence should not be applied for in relation to these blocks (refer to section 43(1) of the NT Petroleum Act). If good reason cannot be provided, the Minister may serve notice on the holder of the RL, directing him to apply for a PL and specifying a date by which this should be done by. If the holder of the RL fails to make this application the license may be cancelled.

The application for a RL or the decision by the Minister not to grant a RL does not effect the term and area of an EP.

Production Licence

Under section 44 of the NT Petroleum Act any person who already holds an EP or RL may apply for one or more PLs in relation to the whole or part of the EP or licence area.

Where the Minister has received an application for the PL and is satisfied that the applicant has complied with the requirements relating to the application in the NT Petroleum Act, the Minister must determine to grant to the applicant a PL, subject to conditions under the NT Petroleum Act. Where the Minister determines to grant a PL, the Minister shall only grant the PL in relation to the minimum number of blocks, which in the Minister's opinion, is reasonably necessary for the applicant to fully exploit the commercially exploitable accumulation of petroleum.

The PL may be granted for a term of either 21 or 25 years as determined by the Minister.The PL may be granted subject to such conditions as the Minister thinks fit and will be specified in the licence document. Generally, each PL is subject to the conditions that the production licensee:

  • l shall use the licence area continuously and exclusively for the purposes for which it is granted;
  • l shall not produce petroleum obtained from the licence area until the Minister authorises the commencement of production operations;
  • l shall pay royalties under the NT Petroleum Act on petroleum produced; and
  • l shall, during such period of the term of the licence as is specified in the licence document, maintain an approved insurance policy, for:
    • (i) well redrilling and well recompletion expenses; and
    • (ii) damages arising out of damage to property or the environment, including by pollution, seepage or contamination.

The applicant for a PL must, at the same time as accepting the conditions specified in the notice granting the applicant the licence, pay to the Minister the annual fee for the first year for each block in respect of which the permit or licence is or will be granted.

Once granted, the holder of the PL is granted the exclusive right to explore for petroleum and recover it on the licence area and to carry out such operations and execute such works in the license area as are necessary for the exploration and recovery of petroleum.

The holder of the PL shall not commence operations for the drilling of a well or for a seismic survey unless notice in accordance with section 67 of the NT Petroleum Act is given to the Minister and the Minister's approval is gained. The notice shall be served on the Minister not less than 28 days before the date on which the operations are to commence or such other period as the Minister may approve.

Transfer of petroleum interests

Pursuant to section 93 of the NT Petroleum Act, the holder of an EP, RL or PL may transfer the whole or any part of its interest in the permit or licence by applying to the Minister for approval. No legal or equitable interest in the permit or licence is conveyed until the instrument of transfer has been approved by the Minister and registered on the petroleum title register.

General Conditions on all Petroleum Titles

The Petroleum (Environment) Regulations 2016 (NT) require that, before any "regulated activity" (which is defined to mean any activity on a petroleum title that has an environmental impact or environmental risk) may take place, the title holder must submit to the relevant Minister, and have approved, an "environment management plan". The plan must be the subject of stakeholder engagement and may be the subject of public comment before approval. Amongst other things, the plan must demonstrate that the proposed activities will be carried out in a manner by which any environmental impact or environmental risk is reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable and which is acceptable to the Minister.

Pursuant to section 79 of the NT Petroleum Act, before granting, renewing or varying a petroleum title (any EP, RL or PL), the Minister may require the applicant for the grant, renewal or variation to lodge with the Minister a security in the form, for the amount and from the person the Minister thinks fit to secure the applicant's compliance with the NT Petroleum Act and to secure the applicant's compliance with the conditions placed on the title.

Cancellation of petroleum interests

Pursuant to section 74 of the NT Petroleum Act, as an alternative to instituting a prosecution for an offence against the NT Petroleum Act, the Minister may cancel any petroleum title in relation to all or any of the blocks to which the title relates, where the permittee or licensee:

  • l has not complied with a condition of the title;
  • l has not complied with a provision of the NT Petroleum Act;
  • l has not complied with a direction lawfully given by the Minister;
  • l has not paid, within 3 months after the date on which it became due, an amount payable by him under the NT Petroleum Act; or
  • l has been found guilty of an offence against the NT Petroleum Act.

Where a title is cancelled in relation to the whole or part of a title area, the holder, may not apply for an exploration permit or licence in relation to that area within 2 years after the date of the cancellation.

Royalties

Pursuant to section 84 of the NT Petroleum Act, a licensee shall pay to the Minister, at the time and in the manner prescribed, a royalty at the rate of 10% upon the gross value at the wellhead of all petroleum produced from his licence area. The gross value of the petroleum shall be the value, from time to time, agreed upon between the Minister and the licensee, or in default of agreement within such period as the Minister allows, is such amount as determined by the Minister as being that value.

The amount of royalty payable under a licence in relation to a year is to be reduced by the amount of the annual fee paid in relation to that licence in relation to that year.

Aboriginal Land Rights

The legislative system for the claiming, granting, control and management of 'Aboriginal land' in the Northern Territory is set out in the ALRA. ALRA enables the responsible Minister to create Land Councils for the Northern Territory, each council with control over a different area (s 21 ALRA). Section 233(3)(b) of the Native Title Act provides that the "future act" provisions of the Native Title Act do not apply to Aboriginal land granted under ALRA.

"Aboriginal land" is defined under ALRA to be either:

  • l land held by an Aboriginal Land Trust established under ALRA for an estate in fee simple; or
  • l land the subject of a deed of grant held in escrow by a Land Council.

Aboriginal Land

Under ALRA, land which may be claimed includes unalienated Crown land or land in which all estates and interests not held by the Crown are held by or on behalf of Aboriginal people. A successful claim under the ALRA results in the tenure of the land being converted to inalienable Aboriginal freehold.

The ALRA establishes Land Trusts, which then hold title to Aboriginal Freehold Land for the benefit of the relevant traditional owners. Importantly, the Native Title Act does not apply to Aboriginal Freehold Land.

Consent to Negotiate

Under section 13 of the NT Petroleum Act, the applicant for an exploration permit cannot commence negotiations for the consent of the Land Council to the grant of an exploration permit until the Minister responsible for the NT Petroleum Act has given the applicant consent (known as "consent to negotiate").

Part IV of ALRA negotiating procedure

Part IV of the ALRA governs mining and petroleum tenures in respect of Aboriginal Land. An applicant for an EP has a period of 22 months commencing on 1 January of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the EP applicant submits an application to the relevant Land Council to consent to the grant of the EP. The 22-month negotiating period may be extended for an additional 2-year period if the Land Council and exploration permit applicant agree to such extension or a further 12-month period if the Land Council and exploration permit applicant agree to such extension.

Requirements for grant of exploration permit

Under ALRA, an 'exploration licence' (which includes an exploration permit granted under the NT Petroleum Act) will not be granted to an applicant unless:

  • l the relevant Land Council gives consent to the grant of the licence;
  • l the relevant Minister gives consent to the grant of the licence; and

l the Land Council and the applicant have entered into an agreement regarding the terms and conditions to which the grant of the licence will be subject.

The terms and conditions agreed upon between the Land Council and the applicant may include terms and conditions requiring the payment of compensation for damage or disturbance caused to the relevant Aboriginal land by any exploration activities. Alternatively, the Commonwealth Governor General may, by proclamation, declare that the EP is in the national interest.

Once the ALRA application has been lodged with the Land Council and the standard negotiating period commences, the parties will:

  • l consult to progress negotiations to reach an agreement and to the consent to the grant of the EP; and
  • l during this period the Land Council and the applicant will attend meetings with the Traditional Owners for the purpose of explaining and discussing the proposed exploration activities as required by section 42 of the ALRA.

Outcome of section 42 meeting

If the Traditional Owners consent to grant the Application, then further negotiations to authorize an agreement with the applicant are conducted. Approval may then be given by the Federal Minister of Indigenous Australians.

Refusal of application and moratorium

Where a Land Council refuses an application for consent on the advice of Traditional Owners, and the applicant does not resubmit its application, or agreement cannot be reached between the parties within the negotiating period (as extended from time to time), the ALRA provides that the land the subject of the exploration permit application be placed in moratorium for a five-year period. During this moratorium period, no person may apply for an exploration permit in respect of that land. The applicant may retain the right to re-apply for an exploration permit over the land at the end of the period or the Traditional Owners through their representative body can apply to the Federal Minister to recommence negotiations under section 48(3) of the ALRA.

Environmental Requirements

In addition to any environmental conditions imposed by the Minister in the terms of grant of an EP, there are also environmental obligations under the NT Petroleum Act.

A person must not, during the conduct of an operation authorized under the NT Petroleum Act, intentionally do an act that causes the release of a contaminant or waste material on, above or under land if:

  • l he or she knows, or ought reasonably to be expected to know, that serious environmental harm or material environmental harm will or might result from the release of the contaminant r waste material; and
  • l the contaminant or waste material causes serious environmental harm to land all of which is within one kilometre of the site where the contaminant is released.

It is an offence to do so. The levels of penalty associated with the various environmental offences are set out in the Environmental Offences and Penalties Act 1996 (NT) and are varied from time to time.

An award may take the form of a conditional share award, a market value option, a nil cost option, a nominal cost option or a phantom option.

The Company may not grant an award which does not comply with the Company's remuneration policy. An award will be granted by an award certificate being executed by the Company issued to the employee.

One or more performance conditions may be specified for each award, which may be varied by the Board in certain customary circumstances. The awards may be subject to an employment period, holding period and performance period, of up to three years (or such other period as the Board may determine from time to time).

The Company may not at any time grant an award if the total number of awards granted under any Company share scheme (excluding any awards which have lapsed) during the period from Re-admission to grant (or, if shorter, the period of ten years immediately preceding the grant) exceeds 10% of the fully diluted share capital of the Company.

The LTIP includes customary claw back conditions, lapse and termination conditions, accelerated exercise or vesting on a takeover or liquidation of the Company and may impose a hold period of up to 5 years from the date of grant in respect of Ordinary Shares arising on the exercise of options.

The Board may, at any time, amend the LTIP in any respect, provided that no alteration or addition shall be made to the material disadvantage of an award holder without the consent in writing of such award holder.

Further details of the LTIP are set out in paragraph 18 of Part XV of this Prospectus.

17. RE-ADMISSION

As the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules, the London Stock Exchange will cancel trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares on the Main Market for listed securities, and the FCA will cancel the listing of the Existing Ordinary Shares.

A11 7.4 L14 2.2

An application will be made to the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange for the Enlarged Share Capital to be admitted to trading on the Main Market for listed securities and to listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List. It is expected that Re-admission will become effective and that dealings in the Ordinary Shares will commence on the London Stock Exchange at 8.00 a.m. on 30 July 2024.

Where applicable, definitive share certificates in respect of the New Ordinary Shares are expected to be dispatched, by post, at the risk of the respective recipients, within 10 business days of Re-admission. Such shares are in registered form and can also be held in uncertificated form. Prior to the dispatch of definitive share certificates in respect of any such shares which are held in certificated form, transfers of any such shares will be certified against the register of members of the Company. No temporary documents of title will be issued. The rights attaching to the New Ordinary Shares will be uniform in all respects and all of the Ordinary Shares will form a single class for all purposes.

All Placing Shares will be issued pursuant to the relevant placing letter at the Issue Price, as the case may be. The Placing Shares will be issued in exchange for cash consideration. The Debt Shares will be issued on conversion of the debt to equity. The Consideration Shares will be issued as consideration for the Proposed Acquisition.

In accordance with UKLR 22.2.2, the Company and the Re-admission Directors have ensured that on Re-admission the Company shall have sufficient shares in public hands (10%) as defined in the UKLR.

To the fullest extent permitted by law the Placees will not be entitled to rescind their Placing Letters at any time.

18. PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company has an issued share capital of £320,499.99, comprising 32,049,999 fully paid Existing Ordinary shares.

Prior to Re-admission and subject to shareholder approval, a Resolution has been proposed to, inter alia consolidate each of the Existing Ordinary shares of £0.01 each into 6,410,000 Ordinary shares of £0.05 each (on a 5:1 basis). Based on a 5:1 ratio, one new Existing Ordinary Share will need to be issued prior to the Proposed Consolidation to ensure the issued share capital is exactly divisible.

As at the date of this Prospectus, there are loans owed to certain existing creditors and shareholders of both the Company and Georgina that will be repaid through the allotment of the Convertible Loan Shares and the Debt Shares.

Prior to Re-admission and subject to shareholder approval, a Resolution has been proposed to, inter alia, convert the CLN and Additional Convertible Loans into the Convertible Loan Shares.

Prior to Re-admission and subject to shareholder approval, a Resolution has been proposed, whereby the Re-admission Directors are generally and unconditionally authorised, in accordance with section 551 of the Companies Act, to exercise any power of the Company to allot Ordinary Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £7,524,835.01 and as if section 561(1) of the Companies Act did not apply to any such allotment, provided that power is limited to the allotment of Ordinary Shares up to that aggregate nominal amount. Such authority will be sufficient authority to allot and issue the New Ordinary Shares.

Immediately following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares, the Enlarged Share Capital will be 90,088,396 Ordinary Shares.

References in this Prospectus to "shares", the "share capital of the Company", the Company's "Enlarged Share Capital" and the like shall therefore, unless otherwise indicated, refer to the Company's ordinary shares after the Proposed Consolidation and Debt Conversion, which are the Company's voting shares and those proposed to be admitted following Re-admission.

Rule 9 Waiver

Under Rule 9 of the City Code, any person who acquires an interest in shares (as defined in the City Code) which, taken together with any shares in which that person or any other person acting in concert with that person is interested, carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company which is subject to the City Code, is normally required to make an offer to all of the remaining shareholders to acquire their shares in the company. Such an offer would have to be made in cash and at the highest price paid for any interest in shares by that person or by any person acting in concert with it within the 12 months prior to the announcement of the offer.

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition and Placing, the Concert Party will be interested in 31.5% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Following the exercise of certain Warrants, the issue of Performance Shares and conversion of the Westmarket Loan the Concert Party will be interested in 61.7% of the issued share capital of the Company, assuming only members of the Concert Party were to excercise warrants.

The Company has consulted with the Panel and the Panel has conditionally agreed to waive the Concert Parties' obligation to make a mandatory offer that would otherwise be required pursuant to Rule 9 of the City Code as a result of the Proposed Acquisition and Placing, subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders.

The Company may treat as invalid an appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

21. RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that all the Resolutions, including the Waiver Resolutions, are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Independent Shareholders and the Company, as a whole. The Resolutions relate to the approval of the Proposed Acquisition, the approval of the issue of the Placing Shares, the Convertible Loan Shares, Debt Shares and the Consideration Shares and the Proposed Consolidation together with the approval (on a poll) by the Independent Shareholders of the Waiver Resolution.

The Board has received advice from Tavira in relation to the Transaction including the Waiver Resolution. The Board, having been so advised by Tavira, considers the terms of the Proposed Acquisition and the Rule 9 Waiver to be fair and reasonable as far as the Shareholders and Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the best interests of the Shareholders and Independent Shareholders as a whole. In providing its financial advice to the Board, Tavira has taken into account the Board's commercial assessments.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of the Transaction and the Waiver Resolution (to be proposed on a poll) at the general meeting.

22. LOCK-IN AGREEMENTS

The Locked-In Parties (together interested in 23,177,160 Ordinary Shares at Re-admission, representing approximately 26% of the Enlarged Share Capital) have undertaken to the Company and the Joint Brokers that, subject to certain limited exceptions (including transfers to associates and disposals by way of acceptance of a recommended offer of the entire issued share capital of the Company) they will not (and will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that their associates do not) dispose of any Ordinary Shares or interest in Ordinary Shares or any rights relating to such Ordinary Shares at any time from Re-admission until the expiry of 12 months from Re-admission.

The CSS Locked-In Parties (together interested in 9,878,046 Ordinary Shares at Re-admission, representing approximately 11% of the Enlarged Share Capital) have undertaken to the Company and the Joint Brokers that, subject to the consent of the Joint Brokers and other limited exceptions (including transfers to associates and disposals by way of acceptance of a recommended offer of the entire issued share capital of the Company) they will not (and will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that their associates do not) dispose of any Ordinary Shares or interest in Ordinary Shares or any rights relating to such Ordinary Shares at any time from Re-admission until the expiry of six months from Re-admission.

23. WORKING CAPITAL

In the opinion of the Company, taking into account the Working Capital Net Proceeds, the working capital available to the Enlarged Group is sufficient for the Enlarged Group's present requirements, that is, for at least 12 months from the date of this Prospectus.

In the audited financial statements for the Company for the 12 months to 31 January 2022, 2023 and 2024 the auditors noted a material uncertainty relating to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern due to the availability of further financing for the 12 months ended 31 January 2023 and dependence on the Company's main shareholder for financing for the 12 months ended 31 January 2022.

In the audited financial statements for Georgina for the 12 months to 30 April 2022 and 2023 the auditors noted a material uncertainty relating to the ability of Georgina to continue as a going concern due to the availability of further financing.

Under the Placing, the Company has procured irrevocable commitments from Placees to subscribe for the full amount of Placing Shares, and there are no conditions attached to such irrevocable commitments other than Re-admission. Re-admission in turn, is conditional on, and will only occur on completion of the Placing.

Accordingly, notwithstanding these historic qualifications to the accounts for both the Company and Georgina, the Re-admission Directors are satisfied that following Re-admission and receipt of the Working Capital Net Proceeds, the working capital available to the Enlarged Group is sufficient for the Enlarged Group's present requirements, that is, for at least 12 months from the date of this Prospectus the Company as a result the Enlarged Group will have access to adequate financial resources for the Working Capital Period.

24. DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company does not intend to pay dividends in the near future as trading profits will be utilised to develop the business of the Enlarged Group.

25. CREST

CREST is a paperless settlement procedure enabling securities to be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and transferred otherwise than by written instrument. The Articles permit the holding of Ordinary Shares under the CREST system. The Company has applied for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to CREST with effect from Re-admission and it is expected that the New Ordinary Shares will be admitted with effect from that time. Accordingly, settlement of transactions in the Ordinary Shares following Re-admission may take place within the CREST system if any investor so wishes.

CREST is a voluntary system and Shareholders who wish to receive and retain certificates for their Ordinary Shares will be able to do so. Shareholders may elect to receive Ordinary Shares in uncertificated form if such Shareholder is a system-member (as defined in the Regulations) in relation to CREST.

26. SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

The Company has adopted and will operate a share dealing code governing the share dealings of the Directors and any applicable employees with a view to ensuring compliance with UK MAR.

A11 5.1.8

A1 18.5.1 A1 18.5.2

A11 3.1

A11 4.3

The Company has adopted a share dealing policy regulating trading and confidentiality of inside information for the Re-admission Directors and other persons discharging managerial responsibilities (and persons closely associated with them) which contains provisions appropriate for a company whose shares are admitted to trading on the Official List (particularly relating to dealing during "closed periods" which will be in line with UK MAR). The Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure compliance by the Re-admission Directors and any relevant employees with the terms of the share dealing policy.

27. TAXATION

Further details relating to taxation are set out in Part XIII of this Prospectus. In particular, investors should be aware that the tax legislation of any jurisdiction where an investor is resident or otherwise subject to taxation may have an impact on the tax consequences of an investment in Ordinary Shares including in respect of any income received from the Ordinary Shares.

A1 13.1 A1 14.5

A1 14.4 A1 14.5

4. STRATEGIC DECISIONS

The Board is responsible for the Enlarged Group's objectives and business strategy and its overall supervision. Any acquisition, divestment, and other strategic decisions will be considered and determined by the Board.

The Board will provide leadership within a framework of appropriate and effective controls. The Board will set up, operate, and monitor the corporate governance values of the Company, and will have overall responsibility for setting the Enlarged Group's strategic aims, defining the business objective, managing the financial and operational resources of the Enlarged Group. The Board will take appropriate steps to ensure that the Company complies with the Listing Principles as set out in Chapter 2 of the UKLR.

5. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

As the Company will be listed on the the Equity Shares (transition) category, the Company is not required to comply with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code. Nevertheless, the Board is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and propose, so far as is practicable given the Company's size, nature, and stage of development to comply with the provisions of the QCA Code. The QCA Code sets out a standard of minimum best practice for small and mid-size quoted companies.

On Re-admission, the Board will comprise six directors, three of whom will be Executive Directors and three Non-executive Directors, reflecting a blend of experiences and backgrounds.

The QCA Code states that a company should have at least two independent non-executive directors.

At Re-admission the Company will have three independent non-executive directors being Robin Fryer, Roy Pitchford and Peter Bradley. The Board believes that the composition of the Board brings a desirable range of skills and experience in light of the Enlarged Group's challenges and opportunities following Re-admission, while at the same time ensuring that no individual (or a small group of individuals) can dominate the Board's decision making. The Company will appraise the structure of the Board on an ongoing basis. The Board intends to meet regularly to review, formulate and approve the Enlarged Group's strategy, budgets, and corporate actions and oversee the Enlarged Group's progress towards its goals.

The Company has established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee, each with formally delegated duties and responsibilities and with written terms of reference as further described in paragraph 7 of this Part VIII. Given its current size and stage of development, for the near term, the whole Board will consider matters of nomination and succession and the Company does not currently plan to establish a nomination committee of the Board.

The Company will review its compliance with the recommendations of the QCA Code and, following Re-admission, report in its annual report and accounts where it complies and, where it departs from the QCA Code, the Company will explain the reasons for doing so.

As the Company grows, the Board may seek to appoint additional independent directors, one of whom may be appointed as senior independent director.

6. RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Relationship Agreement, each member of the Concert Party has agreed with the Company that, conditional on Re-admission, it shall exercise its voting rights to ensure that (amongst other things) the Enlarged Group and the business shall be managed for the benefit of the Shareholders as a whole and independently of the Concert Party and all transactions, agreements and arrangements between any member of the Group and any member of the Concert Party shall be on an arm's length basis and on normal commercial terms. The Relationship Agreement will be in force for so long as the Ordinary Shares are admitted to the Official List and to trading on the Main Market (including any period of suspension of trading); and the Concert Party individually or together is interested in voting rights representing 20% or more of the rights to vote at a general meeting of the Company attaching to its shares. Further details of the Relationship Agreement are set out in paragraph 16.6 of Part XV of this document.

7. COMMITTEES

The Audit Committee will meet not less than three times in each financial year and will have unrestricted access to the Enlarged Group's external auditors. The members of the Audit Committee shall include at least two Non-Executive Directors.

Georgina Energy Plc Strategic Report

30 APRIL 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Introduction

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2022.

Principle Activities and Business Review

Georgina Energy is an early-stage resource company with a strategy of actively pursuing the exploration, commercial development and monetisation of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon interests located in the Amadeus and Officer Basins in Northern and Western Australia.

The Group's strategy and business model is developed by the Chief Executive Office and is approved by the Board. The Executive Directors who report to the Board are responsible for implementing the strategy and managing the business with the management team.

During this period Group successfully advanced development and exploration across its portfolio of project assets with significant milestones achieved at the Group's flagship. The Board seeks to increase shareholder value by advancing the development of current projects, the systematic exploration of its existing resource assets, and by acquiring exploration and development opportunities in underexplored areas. The Group operates two main projects.

Review of Key Developments by Project

Hussar: Officer Basin

The HUSSAR Project, in the Officer Basin of Western Australia, is considered by independent consultants to be one of the most potentially lucrative resource basins in the Asia Pacific region due to its significant Helium, Hydrogen, oil and natural gas potential. It was granted in September 2021 and was converted into an EP in September 2022.

Georgina Energy Plc holds a 100% working interest in SPA 0036 via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Westmarket Oil Gas Pty Ltd which is the operating company in Australia. The area consists of 47 graticular blocks, 3,574 km2 . It hosts the Hussar 1 well drilled in 1982. The well was drilled to a depth of 2,040 m with significant gas flows oil shows above the Townsend subsalt horizon, representing the potential Helium reservoirs.

Independent consultants have confirmed that the Officer Basin has, within a seismically defined closure of c 200 km2 SPA 0036, the required elements to yield significant Helium and Hydrogen accumulations with net attributable 2 U Prospective Resources of 155 BCFG of Helium & 173 BCFG of Hydrogen with a potential combined in situ value of US \$55 billion. (He US \$350/MCFG, H US \$2.65/kg).

The Hussar Prospect with net attributable 2U Prospective (recoverable) Resources of 0.91 TCFG of gaseous hydrocarbons, may host some US \$5.24 billion in-situ natural gas value. Georgina Energy will, upon completion of its work program, convert SPA 0036 into an Exploration Permit (EP) to develop the license and focus on the Hydrogen, Helium natural gas potential.

Georgina Energy Plc Strategic Report

30 APRIL 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Mt Winter: Amadeus Basin

The EP 155 Mt Winter Project, in the Northern Amadeus Basin, Northern Territory of Australia is considered by independent consultants to be one of the potentially most valuable Hydrogen, Helium and natural gas prospects in Australia.

The property is held by AIM listed Mosman Oil Gas Plc and Westmarket Oil Gas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgina Energy Plc, via a formal Farm-in agreement has rights to earn up to a 90% working interest with Operatorship.

The Mt Winter-1 well was drilled to a depth of 2,650m TD. It did not penetrate the subsalt Heavitree Formation Hydrogen, Helium & natural gas reservoir target but reached TD in salt just above it.

With seismically defined closure based on CPR 2U calculations of 3,400 acres, net attributable Prospective (recoverable) Resource volumes to the Company of Helium are 111 BCFG, Hydrogen 102 BCFG and natural gas 0.91 TCFG with respective in-situ values of US \$38.51 billion, US \$0.62 billion and US \$2.72 billion.

Georgina Energy has an initial program to complete seismic, and then re-enter and/or side track the existing well to develop the Hydrogen, Helium and natural gas.

Some of the natural gas would be used to power a gas separation plant with all CO2 being permanently sequestered in dedicated solution mined salt caverns providing the capabilities of carbon-neutral "blue" production of all products, ie Hydrogen, Helium natural gas.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Management of the business and the execution of the Board's strategy are subject to a number of key risks and uncertainties:

Inherent with mineral exploration is that there no guarantee that the Group can identify a resource that can be extracted economically. In order to minimise this risk and to maximise the Group's chance of long-term success, we are committed to the following strategic business principles:

  • The board regularly reviews our exploration and development programmes and allocates capital in a manner that it believes will maximise risk-adjusted return on capital.
  • We apply advanced exploration techniques to areas and regions that we believe are relatively under-explored historically.
  • Exploration work in conducted on a systematic basis. More specifically, exploration work is carried out in a phased, results-based fashion and leverages a wide range of exploration methods including modern geochemical and geophysical techniques and various drilling methods.
  • We focus our activities on jurisdictions that we believe represent low political and operational risk. Moreover, we strongly prefer to operate in jurisdictions where our team has considerable on the ground experience. At the present time, all of the Group's projects are in Australia, a country with established mining codes, stable government, skilled labour force, excellent infrastructure and a well-established mining industry.

Georgina Energy Plc Strategic Report

30 APRIL 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

Commodity price risk

The principal commodities that are the focus on our exploration and development efforts (precious gases) are subject to highly cyclical patterns in global demand and supply, and consequently, the price of those commodities can be highly volatile.

Recruiting and retaining highly skilled directors and employees

The Group's ability to execute its strategy is highly dependent on the skills and abilities of its people. We undertake ongoing initiatives to foster good staff engagement and ensure that remuneration packages are competitive in the market.

Occupational health and safety

Every Director and employee of the Group is committed to promoting and maintaining a safe workplace environment, including adopting COVID safe work practices. The Group regularly reviews occupational health and safety policies and compliance with those policies. The Group also engages with external occupational health and safety expert consultants to ensure that policies and procedures are appropriate as the Group expands its activity levels.

COVID-19 – Coronavirus Pandemic

The COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has caused a severe adverse effect on the business environment on a global scale. The Group may be affected by disruptions to its operations, particularly for the foreseeable future in light of government responses to the spread of COVID-19 or other potential pandemics. The Board is aware of the various risks that the pandemic presents that include but are not limited to financial, operational, staff and community health and safety, logistical challenges and government regulation. At present the Group believes that there should be no significant material disruption to its operations in the near term, but the Board continues to monitor these risks and the Group's business continuity plans.

Directors' Statement Under Section 172 (1) of The Companies Act 2006

Section 172 (1) of the Companies Act obliges the Directors to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of the Group's members as a whole. This section specifies that the Directors must act in good faith

when promoting the success of the Group and in doing so have regard (amongst other things) to:

  • the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,
  • the interests of the Group's employees,
  • the need to foster the Group's business
  • relationship with suppliers, customers and others,
  • the impact of the Group's operations on the community and environment,
  • the desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and
  • the need to act fairly as between members of the Group.

This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF GEORGINA ENERGY PLC

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Georgina Energy PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") for the year ended 30 April 2022 which comprise Consolidated and Parent Statements of Financial Position as at 30 April 2022; the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the year then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which include a description of the significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

In our opinion:

  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Georgina Energy PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") affairs as at 30 April 2022 and of the Group's loss for the year then ended;
  • the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union; and
  • the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the ability of the group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the group to raise additional funds as required to pay it's debts as and when they fall due. As stated in note 1, this indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Company as of 30 April 2022, were audited by another auditor whose report dated 10 August 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Other Information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

  • the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

  • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been
  • received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit;

Overview of the Scope of Our Audit

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) (UK). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit' section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for auditors, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those Ethical Standards.

The Group operates in many countries in United Kingdom. The Group audit team performed all the work necessary to issue the Group and parent company audit opinion, including undertaking all of the audit work on the risks of material misstatement.

Our assessment of audit risk, our evaluation of materiality and our allocation of performance materiality determine our audit scope for each entity within the Group. Taken together, this enables us to form an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Responsibilities of directors

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting and preparation of 30 April 2022 Annual Report

The consolidated financial statements of Georgina Energy Plc and all its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling.

There has been no changes to the application of IFRS during the financial year ended 30 April 2022.

Accounting policies

This note provides all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by consolidating the financial statements of all entities within the Group as defined in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-Group transactions have been eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Business Combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and any equity interest issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement as incurred.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration at subsequent reporting dates that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are recognised within finance costs in the consolidated income statement, unless the contingent consideration is classified as equity.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition is capitalised and represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the value of the Group's interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Foreign currency

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the GBP Pound. The Group determines the functional currency of each Group entity, including companies accounted for at equity, and this currency is used to separately measure each Group entity's financial position and operating results.

The functional currency of the Company is the GBP Pound. When an investee's functional currency differs from the Company's functional currency ("foreign operation") its financial statements are translated into the Company's functional currency so that they can be included in the consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date. Profit or loss items are translated at average exchange rates for all the relevant periods.

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity.

Finance income

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs

Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset.

Tax

The income tax charge represents both the income tax payable, based on profit for the period, and deferred income tax. Deferred income tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the tax base of the Group's assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts that have originated but have not been reversed by the balance sheet date.

No deferred tax is recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability, in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all, or part of, the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income tax is charged or credited to other comprehensive income if it relates to items that are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Similarly, income tax is charged or credited directly to equity if it relates to items that are charged or credited directly to equity. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

The Group is currently in the development phase o and as such are operating at an accounting loss till such time production begins. Presently, the Group has chosen not to recognise any deferred tax assets till such time it is deemed to be recoverable.

Goods and services taxes

As the Group principally operates in Australia, it is subject to Australia's Good and services taxes ("GST").

GST is a broad-based tax that is payable on most goods, services and other items sold and/or claimable for most goods, services and other items purchases.

Where GST is applicable revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:

  • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset, or as an expense; or
  • for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST receivable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e.unforced) transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It assumes that

the transaction will take place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market date (unobservable inputs).

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are measured and carried at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financial transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar instrument.

Financial assets

financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are subsequently classified into the following specified categories: Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), Financial assets measured at amortised cost and

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are recorded at amortised cost.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired.

The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transactions costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extend there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. In all other cases the fee is expensed.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the considerations paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Exploration and Evaluation Costs

The Company accounts for exploration and evaluation activities as follows:

  • Acquisition costs Exploration and evaluation costs arising from acquisitions are carried forward where exploration and evaluation activities have not, at reporting date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves.
  • Exploration and evaluation expenditure Costs arising from on-going exploration and evaluation activities are assessed on a project basis.

Costs will only be capitalised if it is expected that they are to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

All geological and geophysical costs, dry hole costs and unproved leasehold costs are also expensed as incurred in accordance with the successful effort's method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and evaluation expenditure.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares or options in relation to ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of taxation, from the proceeds. Mandatorily redeemable preference shares are classified as liabilities

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported as revenues and expenses during the period.

Although these amounts are based on management's best estimates, events or actions may mean that actual results ultimately differ from those estimates, and these differences may be material. These judgements and estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly.

Critical Accounting Judgements

Impact of coronavirus (COVID-19)

In light the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has considered whether any adjustments are required to reported amounts in the financial statements.

In response to COVID-19 the Group has taken extensive action to protect the business, retain financial stability and position itself for long-term success.

The Group has concluded that should further government interventions result from response to COVID-19 in the future this will have a bearing on the future of the Group. Any uncertainty that COVID-19 causes will be disclosed in the forthcoming notes.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group recorded a net loss of £1,469,106 for the 12 month period ended 30 April 2022 and had total liabilities of £2,186,590 as at 30 April 2022.

The Group's ability to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent on the group raising additional capital via any means available to it in a timely manner in order to fund the Group's ongoing activities and reducing its operating cost structure. The Directors are confident in the ability to raise further funds if and when required as evidenced by the past raisings.

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the cash flow forecasts after taking into account the above matters and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Directors consider that, at the date of signing the financial report, there are reasonable grounds to believe that, having regard to the matters set out above, the Group will continue to have the support of its shareholders and will be able to raise sufficient funds to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Group

There are no IASB and IFRIC standards that have been issued with an effective date after the date of

the financial statements which are expected to have a material impact on the Group.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under the law, the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

In preparing these financial statements , the Directors are required to:

  • select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed , subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements ;
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF GEORGINA ENERGY PLC

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Georgina Energy PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") for the year ended 30 April 2023 which comprise Consolidated and Parent Statements of Financial Position as at 30 April 2023; the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the year then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which include a description of the significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.

In our opinion:

  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Georgina Energy PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") affairs as at 30 April 2023 and of the Group's loss for the year then ended;
  • the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union; and
  • the parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with applicable law and IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard as applied to listed entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to note 1 in the financial statements, which indicates that the ability of the group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the group to raise additional funds as required to pay it's debts as and when they fall due. As stated in note 1, this indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

  • the information given in the strategic report and the directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
  • the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

  • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been
  • received from branches not visited by us; or
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
  • certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
  • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit;

Overview of the Scope of Our Audit

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) (UK). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit' section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for auditors, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those Ethical Standards.

The Group operates in many countries in United Kingdom. The Group audit team performed all the work necessary to issue the Group and parent company audit opinion, including undertaking all of the audit work on the risks of material misstatement.

Our assessment of audit risk, our evaluation of materiality and our allocation of performance materiality determine our audit scope for each entity within the Group. Taken together, this enables us to form an opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Responsibilities of directors

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting and preparation of 30 April 2023 Annual Report

The consolidated financial statements of Georgina Energy Plc and all its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling.

There has been no changes to the application of IFRS during the financial year ended 30 April 2023.

Accounting policies

This note provides all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by consolidating the financial statements of all entities within the Group as defined in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements include the information and results of each subsidiary from the date on which the Company obtains control and until such time as the Company ceases to control such entity. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-Group transactions have been eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group recorded a net loss of £1,704,216 for the 12 month period ended 30 April 2023 and had net liabilities of £3,428,847 as at 30 April 2023.

The Group's ability to continue as a going concern and pay its debts as and when they fall due is dependent on the group raising additional capital via any means available to it in a timely manner in order to fund the Group's ongoing activities and reducing its operating cost structure. The Directors are confident in the ability to raise further funds if and when required as evidenced by the past raisings.

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the cash flow forecasts after taking into account the above matters and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Should the Group not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the Group could continue as a going concern, and it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Directors consider that, at the date of signing the financial report, there are reasonable grounds to believe that, having regard to the matters set out above, the Group will continue to have the support of its shareholders and will be able to raise sufficient funds to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

Business Combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and any equity interest issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement as incurred.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes contingent consideration, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the 'measurement period' (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration at subsequent reporting dates that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are recognised within finance costs in the consolidated income statement, unless the contingent consideration is classified as equity.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition is capitalised and represents the excess of the fair value of consideration over the value of the Group's interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is not amortised but reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Foreign currency

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the GBP Pound. The Group determines the functional currency of each Group entity, including companies accounted for at equity, and this currency is used to separately measure each Group entity's financial position and operating results.

The functional currency of the Company is the GBP Pound. When an investee's functional currency differs from the Company's functional currency ("foreign operation") its financial statements are translated into the Company's functional currency so that they can be included in the consolidated financial statements. Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at each reporting date. Profit or loss items are translated at average exchange rates for all the relevant periods.

Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity.

Finance income

Interest income is recognised as the interest accrues, using the effective interest method.

Finance costs

Finance costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred, except where they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset.

Tax

The income tax charge represents both the income tax payable, based on profit for the period, and deferred income tax. Deferred income tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the tax base of the Group's assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts that have originated but have not been reversed by the balance sheet date.

No deferred tax is recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability, in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all, or part of, the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income tax is charged or credited to other comprehensive income if it relates to items that are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Similarly, income tax is charged or credited directly to equity if it relates to items that are charged or credited directly to equity. Otherwise, income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

The Group is currently in the development phase o and as such are operating at an accounting loss till such time production begins. Presently, the Group has chosen not to recognise any deferred tax assets till such time it is deemed to be recoverable.

Goods and services taxes

As the Group principally operates in Australia, it is subject to Australia's Good and services taxes ("GST").

GST is a broad-based tax that is payable on most goods, services and other items sold and/or claimable for most goods, services and other items purchases.

Where GST is applicable revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except:

  • where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset, or as an expense; or
  • for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is classified as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST receivable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financial costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Fair value of assets and liabilities

When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e.unforced) transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It assumes that the transaction will take place either in the principal market or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
  • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market date (unobservable inputs).

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are measured and carried at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financial transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar instrument.

Financial assets

financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value.

Financial assets are subsequently classified into the following specified categories: Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), Financial assets measured at amortised cost and

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are recorded at amortised cost.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired.

The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

Trade and other payables

Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised cost and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date.

Borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transactions costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw down occurs. To the extend there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. In all other cases the fee is expensed.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the consolidated entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the considerations paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.

Exploration and Evaluation Costs

The Company accounts for exploration and evaluation activities as follows:

  • Acquisition costs Exploration and evaluation costs arising from acquisitions are carried forward where exploration and evaluation activities have not, at reporting date, reached a stage to allow a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves.
  • Exploration and evaluation expenditure Costs arising from on-going exploration and evaluation activities are assessed on a project basis.

Costs will only be capitalised if it is expected that they are to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

All geological and geophysical costs, dry hole costs and unproved leasehold costs are also expensed as incurred in accordance with the successful effort's method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and evaluation expenditure.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares or options in relation to ordinary shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of taxation, from the proceeds. Mandatorily redeemable preference shares are classified as liabilities.

Right of Use Assets

A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Lease Liabilities

A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity's incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is reasonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported as revenues and expenses during the period.

Although these amounts are based on management's best estimates, events or actions may mean that actual results ultimately differ from those estimates, and these differences may be material. These judgements and estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly.

Critical Accounting Judgements

Impact of coronavirus (COVID-19)

In light the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has considered whether any adjustments are required to reported amounts in the financial statements.

In response to COVID-19 the Group has taken extensive action to protect the business, retain financial stability and position itself for long-term success.

The Group has concluded that should further government interventions result from response to COVID-19 in the future this will have a bearing on the future of the Group. Any uncertainty that COVID-19 causes will be disclosed in the forthcoming notes.

NOTE 1. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting and preparation for the Half-Year Financial Report

The consolidated financial statements of Georgina Energy Plc and all its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for use in the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in pounds sterling.

There has been no changes to the application of IFRS during the half year financial period to 31 January 2024.

Going Concern

The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group recorded a net loss of £2,557,578 for the period ended 31 January 2024, and has net liabilities of £5,451,677 as at 31 January 2024.

The majority shareholder Westmarket Corporation Pty Ltd continues to support the liabilities of the Group as and when they occur. The Group is able to significantly reduce expenditure if required. In addition, there is also the possibility to raise capital to assist in exploration activities. It is the prime responsibility of the Directors to ensure the Group remains a going concern.

The Group is required to raise money for further exploration and capital projects as and when required. There can be no assurance that the Group's projects will be fully developed in accordance with current plans or completed on time or budget with the current level of cash held by the group, and therefore it is expected that further fundraising will need to take place over the 12 month period from the date of approval of these Financial Statements.

The Directors have reviewed the business outlook and the cash flow forecasts after considering the above matters and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Should the Group not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether the Group could continue as a going concern, and it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different from those stated in the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group's financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2023 year and corresponding interim reporting period. There were no new or amended accounting standards that required the Group to change its accounting policies. The Directors also considered the impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group and do not consider that there will be a material impact of transition on the financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported as assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported as revenues and expenses during the period.

Although these amounts are based on management's best estimates, events or actions may mean that actual results ultimately differ from those estimates, and these differences may be material. These judgements and estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly.

Critical Accounting Judgements

Risks and uncertainties

The Directors continuously assesses and monitors the key risks of the business. The key risks that could affect the Company's medium term performance and the factors that mitigate those risks have not substantially changed from those set out in the Company's 2023 Annual Report. The key financial risks are liquidity risk, credit risk, interest rate risk and fair value estimation.

The Condensed interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 1 March 2024.

We report on the unaudited pro forma Statement of Financial Position of Mining, Minerals & Metals plc (the "Company") as at 31 January 2024 and on the unaudited pro forma Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year then ended (together, the "Pro Forma Financial Information") set out in Section A "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Company" of Part X "Pro Forma Financial Information of the Company" of the Company's prospectus dated 11 July 2024 (the "Document").

Opinion

In our opinion:

In providing this opinion we are not updating or refreshing any reports or opinions previously made by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information, nor do we accept responsibility for such reports or opinions beyond that owed to those to whom those reports or opinions were addressed at the date of their issue.

Save for any responsibility arising under Prospectus Regulation Rule 5.3.2R(2)(f) to any person as and to the extent there provided, to the fullest extent permitted by the law we do not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any other person for any loss suffered by any such other person as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with this report or our statement, required by and given solely for the purposes of complying with item 1.3 of Annex 1 of the Prospectus Delegated Regulation, consenting to its inclusion in the Prospectus.

Basis of preparation

The Pro Forma Financial Information illustrates the impact of the transaction as if the transaction had been undertaken at 31 January 2024.

  • l the issue of Placing Shares;
  • l retirement of Convertible Loan Notes by Georgina;

This report is required by Section 3 of Annex 20 of the Prospectus Regulation and is given for the purpose of complying with that requirement and for no other purpose.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our work in accordance with Standards for Investment Reporting issued by the Financial Reporting Council of the United Kingdom. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard as applied to Investment Circular Reporting Engagements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

The work that we performed for the purpose of making this report, which involved no independent examination of any of the underlying financial information, consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Pro Forma Financial Information with the Directors.

We planned and performed our work so as to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to provide us with reasonable assurance that the Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis stated and that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing or other standards and practices generally accepted in the United States of America or other jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom and accordingly should not be relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards and practices.

Declaration

For the purposes of Prospectus Regulation Rule 5.3.2R(2)(f), we are responsible for this report as part of the Prospectus and declare that, to the best of our knowledge, the information contained in this report is in accordance with the facts and that the report makes no omission likely to affect its import. This declaration is included in the Prospectus in compliance with item 1.2 of Annex 1 of the Prospectus Delegated Regulation.

Section B: Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Company

Set out below is the unaudited pro forma Statement of Financial Position of the Company as at 31 January 2024 and the unaudited pro forma Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year then ended (together, the "Pro Forma Financial Information"), in accordance with Annex 20 of the Prospectus Regulation Rules. The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company in preparing the audited Company Financial Information included in Part IX "Historical Financial Information of the Company" of this Document, to illustrate the effects of the following adjustments:

  • 1) the Acquisition and issue of the Initial Consideration Shares;
  • 2) the issue of Placing Shares;
  • 3) retirement of Convertible Loan Notes by Georgina;
  • 4) retirement of Convertible Loan Notes by the Company;
  • 5) Issue of New Ordinary Shares in payment for accrued directors' fees by the Company; and
  • 6) Repayment of a loan by Georgina

on the assets, liabilities and equity of the Company had the above adjustments occurred on 31 January 2024 and on the earnings of the Company for the year then ended.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the Company's actual financial position as at 31 January 2024, or of its earnings for the year then ended (as a result, the hypothetical financial information included in the Pro Forma Financial Information may differ from the Enlarged Group's actual financial position or results). It is based on the audited Company Financial Information for the year ended 31 January 2024 included in Section A of Part IX "Historical Financial Information of the Company" and the unaudited Georgina Interim Financial Information or the 9-month period ended 31 January 2024 included in Section B of Part X "Unaudited Interim Financial Information of Georgina" of this Document.

Users should read the whole of this Document and not rely solely on the Pro Forma Financial Information.

The accountant's report on the Pro Forma Financial Information is set out in Section A "Accountant's Report on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Company" of Part X "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Company" of this Document.

Section A – Operating Financial Review of the Company

The following operating and financial review contains financial information that has been extracted or derived without material adjustment from the Company's audited financial information for the years ended 31 January 2022, 2023 and 2024, all prepared in accordance with IFRS, and incorporated herein by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the other information in this Prospectus, in particular with the entire Part IX of this document (Historical Financial Information of the Company).

The key risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to those described in the section of this Prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12.

Overview

Mining, Minerals & Metals Plc was established on 28 January 2013 to undertake an acquisition of one or more businesses (either shares or assets) that has operations involved in natural resources exploitation that it will then look to develop and expand.

Since the admission to the Official List of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange's Main Market on 6 March 2020 to date, the Company's operations have been limited to investigating potential acquisition targets and the current cash balance reflects these operating costs. The Company's material liabilities will be converted to equity considerations upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the other information in this Prospectus, in particular with the entire Part IX of this Document.

Background

Georgina was incorporated under the laws of England and Wales under the Companies Act on 18th April 2019 as a public limited company. Georgina's registered number is 11954589 and its registered office is at 1 King Street Office 3.05 London EC2V 8AU.

Georgina is an early-stage well re-development company with a strategy of actively pursuing the exploration, commercial development and monetisation of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon interests located in the Amadeus and Officer Basins in Northern and Western Australia.

The auditors for Georgina are HGA Accountants & Financial Consultants Limited, of Thanet House 231-232 Strand, London.

In October 2023, Georgina signed a heads of agreement with the Company for the Proposed Acquisition.

Review of the Prospects

Hussar

The Hussar Prospect, in the Officer Basin of Western Australia, is considered by independent consultants to be one of the most potentially lucrative resource basins in the Asia Pacific region due to its significant Helium, Hydrogen, oil and natural gas potential. It was granted in September 2021 and was converted into an EP in September 2022.

Mount Winter

The Mt Winter Prospect, in the Northern Amadeus Basin, Northern Territory of Australia is considered by independent consultants to be one of the potentially most valuable Hydrogen, Helium and natural gas prospects in Australia.

The Prospect is held by OilCo a subsidiary of AIM listed Mosman and Westmarket O&G has, via the Farmout Agreement, the right to earn up to a 75% legaland beneficial interst in Ep155, up to a maximum 90% interest.

Overview of Trading and Financial Position of Georgina for the 12 months ending 30 April 2021

On 11th May 2020 Westmarket O&G entered into the Farmout Agreement to acquire a 75% interest EP155.

EP155 is currently held in the name of Oilco; with Westmarket O&G and Georgina assuming management and responsibility of EP155.

Once all conditions of the Farmout Agreement have been satisfied the 75% interest will be conditionally transferred to Westmarket O&G. There have been no other significant changes in the state of affairs of Georgina and Westmarket O&G.

Westmarket O&G holds a 100% interest in the Hussar Prospect.

At 30 April 2021 the Georgina's investment in exploration and evaluation amounted to £298,669 and a further £1,080,104 was expended for the engagement of specialised consultants to review geological data. All costs are expensed to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The costs may be re-evaluated in the event of commercialization of the assets

The shareholder loan balance increased during the year from (£319,535) to (£445,608) as at 30 April 2021.

Total liabilities as at 30 April 2021 increased to (£605,431) and predominantly comprised of convertible notes borrowings (details below) of (£108,694), plus the shareholder loan balance, with trade and other payables of (£51,129).

On 14th May 2021 Georgina appointed Charles Street Securities Europe LLP to raise funding for working capital through the issuance of £150,400 convertible notes bearing interest at 12% per annum and due on the 30 June 2022.

The current CLN's (by mutual consent between the Company and the noteholders) were extended beyond their maturity date. As a result, the lenders have agreed to extend their loans date beyond the current financial year in return the terms will be varied as follows:

  • a) increase the rate of interest accruing on the loans from 8.5% to 12% per annum; and
  • b) issue to the lenders 2,285.74 warrants exercisable at 3.5p per share will be issued in respect of every £100 of principal amount of the loan.

PART XIII

TAXATION

A11 4.11

UNITED KINGDOM TAXATION

The following statements are intended only as a general guide to current UK tax legislation and to the current practice (which may not be binding) of HMRC as at the date of this Prospectus (both of which may be subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect). The statements are not exhaustive and relate only to certain limited aspects of the UK tax consequences of holding or disposing of Ordinary Shares. Any person who is in any doubt about his or her position should contact their professional advisor immediately.

The following statements are based an assumption that the Company will be tax resident only in the UK. The statements below may not apply to certain Shareholders in the Company, such as (but not limited to): traders, brokers, banks, tax exempt organisations, persons connected with the Company, persons holding shares as part of hedging or conversion transactions, holding investments in any HMRC approved arrangements or scheme, dealers in securities, insurance companies, collective investment schemes, pension schemes, Shareholders who are exempt from UK taxation, Shareholders who have (or are deemed to have) acquired their Ordinary Shares by virtue of an office or employment or Shareholders who have acquired their Ordinary Shares other than for bona fide commercial reasons.

The statements below relate (except where stated otherwise) to persons who:

  • l are resident (and, in the case of individuals, domiciled) in (and only in) the UK for tax purposes;
  • l are beneficial owners of their Ordinary Shares and dividends paid in respect of them;
  • l hold (together with associates) less than 5% of the Ordinary Shares in the Company; and
  • l hold their Ordinary Shares as an investment (otherwise than through an individual savings account or a pension arrangement).

The statements set out in the paragraphs below do not constitute tax or legal advice. Any person who is in any doubt as to their tax position, or who is resident or otherwise subject to taxation in any jurisdiction other than the UK, should consult their own professional advisers immediately.

(a) Dividends

Under UK tax legislation, the Company is not required to withhold tax at source from any dividend payments it makes.

Individual Shareholders resident for tax purposes in the UK receive an annual dividend income tax-free allowance of £1,000 ("Nil Rate Amount") for tax year 2023/2024 (and further reduced to £500 for 2024/25). Dividend income in excess of the Nil Rate Amount is taxed at the following rates:

  • l 8.75% to the extent that the dividend income falls within the basic rate band;
  • l 33.75% to the extent that the dividend income falls within the higher rate band; and
  • l 39.35% to the extent that the dividend income falls within the additional rate band.

"Dividend income" includes UK and non-UK source dividends and certain other distributions in respect of shares.

All dividends received from the Company by an individual Shareholder who is resident and domiciled in the UK will, except to the extent that they are earned through an ISA, self-invested pension plan or other regime which exempts the dividend from tax, form part of the Shareholder's total income for income tax purposes. In calculating the band into which any dividend income above the Nil Rate Amount falls, the individual Shareholder's total taxable dividend income for the tax year (including the amount of dividend income within the Nil Rate Amount) will be treated as the highest slice of the individual's income.

Dividends paid to UK resident trustees of an accumulation or discretionary trust will be taxed at the dividend trusts rate of 39.35% to the extent the total income exceeds the £1,000 (and at 8.75% below that amount). Trustees of an accumulation or discretionary trust do not benefit from the annual Nil Rate Amount allowance.

UK resident corporate Shareholders which are not "small companies" for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 will be liable to UK corporation tax unless the dividend falls within one of the exempt classes set out in Part 9A of the Corporation Tax Act 2009. It is anticipated that dividends should fall within one of such exempt classes (subject to anti-avoidance rules and provided all conditions are met). Shareholders within the charge to UK corporation tax which are such "small companies" will generally not be subject to UK corporation tax on any dividend received provided certain conditions are met (including an anti-avoidance condition).

If the conditions for exemption are not, or cease to be, satisfied, or such a Shareholder elects for an otherwise exempt dividend to be taxable, the Shareholder will be subject to UK corporation tax on dividends received from the Company at 25%, unless the small profits rate of 19% applies. Shareholders within the charge to UK corporation tax are advised to consult their independent professional tax advisers to determine whether dividends received will be subject to UK corporation tax.

Non-UK resident Shareholders should not generally be subject to UK tax on their dividend receipts (whether via withholding or direct assessment) but may be subject to foreign taxation on dividend income under local law. Such shareholders should consult their own advisers concerning their tax liabilities on dividends received.

(b) Chargeable gains

Shareholders who are resident in the UK for tax purposes and who dispose of their Ordinary Shares at a gain will ordinarily be liable to UK taxation on chargeable gains, subject to any available exemptions or reliefs. The gain will be calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and any allowable costs and expenses, including the original acquisition cost of the Ordinary Shares.

Individual Shareholders (or Shareholders not otherwise within the charge to UK corporation tax) will generally be charged at 10% capital gains tax to the extent that the total chargeable gains and taxable income for the year (after allowable deductions) is less than the upper limit of the income tax basic rate band. To the extent that chargeable gains arising in a tax year exceed the upper limit of the basic rate band when aggregated with taxable income, then capital gains tax will be chargeable at 20% on the amount of that excess. Individual Shareholders receive an annual exempt allowance for capital gains tax purposes, which for tax year 2023/2024 may apply to up to £6,000 of gains realised to fall outside the scope of tax. No indexation allowance will be available.

Individual Shareholders who are not resident in the UK for tax purposes but who carry on a trade, profession or vocation in the UK through a permanent establishment, branch, agency or fixed place of business in the UK may be liable to UK taxation on chargeable gains on a disposal of their Ordinary Shares, if those Ordinary Shares are or have been held, used or acquired for the purposes of that trade, profession or vocation or for the purposes of that permanent establishment, branch, agency or fixed place of business.

If an individual Shareholder ceases to be resident in the UK and subsequently disposes of Ordinary Shares, in certain circumstances any gain on that disposal may be liable to UK capital gains tax upon that Shareholder becoming once again resident in the UK.

Trustees of "settled property" (for the purposes of chargeable gains tax) and personal representatives resident in the UK disposing of Ordinary Shares will be taxed at 20%, subject to any available reliefs or exemptions. Trustees and personal representatives receive an annual exempt amount for capital gains tax purposes, which differs depending on the type of settlement but for tax year 2023/2024 is generally £3,000.

Corporate Shareholders resident in the UK will be taxed to corporation tax on chargeable gains at 25% for tax year 2023/2024 (unless the small profits rate of 19% applies), subject to any available reliefs or exemptions. No indexation allowance will be available.

A gain accruing to a Corporate Shareholder on a disposal of Ordinary Shares may qualify for the substantial shareholding exemption if certain conditions regarding the amount of shareholding, the length of ownership and the company invested in are fulfilled, including the condition whether the investing company must hold at least 10% of the investee company's ordinary share capital. If the substantial shareholding exemption applies, gains are exempt from tax and losses do not accrue. Any shareholders within the charge to UK corporation tax should consult their independent professional tax advisers to determine whether gains are subject to UK corporation tax.

Corporate Shareholders carrying on a trade in the UK through a branch, agency or permanent establishment with which their investment is connected may be liable to UK taxation on chargeable gains on the disposal of their Ordinary Shares.

(c) Stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax ("SDRT")

The statements below are intended as a general guide to the current position. The statements do not apply to certain Intermediaries who are not liable to stamp duty or SDRT, to persons connected with depositary arrangements or clearance services, who may be liable at a higher rate.

The allotment and issue of Ordinary Shares will not give rise to a liability to stamp duty or SDRT. Any subsequent conveyance or transfer on sale of Ordinary Shares would usually be subject to stamp duty on any instrument of transfer at a rate of 0.5% of the amount or value of the consideration (rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest £5), subject to certain exemptions and reliefs. A charge to SDRT at a rate of 0.5% would usually arise in relation to an unconditional agreement to transfer Ordinary Shares (where the SDRT charge is not cancelled by the execution of an instrument of transfer, within six years of the date of the agreement, and the due stamping thereof following, where applicable, a corresponding payment of stamp duty).

The above comments are intended as a guide to the general stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax position and may not relate to persons such as charities, market makers, brokers, dealers, intermediaries and persons connected with depositary arrangements or clearance services to whom special rules apply.

(d) Further information for Shareholders subject to UK income tax and capital gains tax

"Transactions in securities"

The attention of Shareholders (whether corporates or individuals) within the scope of UK taxation is drawn to the provisions set out in, respectively, Part 15 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and Chapter 1 of Part 13 of the Income Tax Act 2007, which (in each case) give powers to HMRC to raise tax assessments so as to cancel "tax advantages" derived from certain prescribed "transactions in securities".

THIS SUMMARY OF UK TAXATION ISSUES CAN ONLY PROVIDE A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THESE AREAS AND IT IS NOT A DESCRIPTION OF ALL THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A DECISION TO INVEST IN THE COMPANY. THE SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UK TAX ISSUES IS BASED ON THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN FORCE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS DOCUMENT AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO ANY CHANGES IN UK LAWS OCCURRING AFTER SUCH DATE. LEGAL ADVICE SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH REGARD TO INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. ANY PERSON WHO IS IN ANY DOUBT AS TO HIS TAX POSITION OR WHERE HE IS RESIDENT, OR OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO TAXATION, IN A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE UK, SHOULD CONSULT HIS PROFESSIONAL ADVISER.

PART XIV

CONSEQUENCES OF A LISTING ON THE EQUITY SHARES (TRANSITION) CATEGORY

Application will be made for the Ordinary Shares to be admitted to on the Equity Shares (transition) category pf the Official List pursuant to Chapter 22 of the UKLR, which sets out the requirements for companies listed on the the Equity Shares (transition) category. The Listing Principles set out in Chapter 2 of the UKLR also apply to the Company.

However, while the Company has a listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category, it is not required to comply with the provisions of, inter alia:

  • l Chapter 4 of the UKLR regarding the appointment of a sponsor to guide the Company in understanding and meeting its responsibilities under the UKLR in connection with certain matters. The Company has not and does not intend to appoint such a sponsor in connection with the Re-admission. Companies with a Standard Listing are only required to appoint a sponsor if they wish to transfer their listing to the Equity Shares (commercial companies) category;
  • l Chapter 6 of the UKLR relating to the ongoing obligations for companies admitted to the Equity Shares (commercial companies), which therefore does not apply to the Company;
  • l Chapter 7 of the UKLR relating to significant transactions, which requires Shareholder consent for certain acquisitions;
  • l Chapter 8 of the UKLR regarding related party transactions;
  • l Chapter 9 of the UKLR regarding purchases by the Company of its Ordinary Shares, however, any dealings in the Company's securities are subject to other general restrictions, including those set out in MAR;
  • l Chapter 10 of the UKLR regarding the form and content of circulars to be sent to Shareholders; and
  • l the UK Corporate Governance Code.

Companies with a listing on the Equity Shares (transition) category are not required to obtain the approval of shareholders for the cancellation of the listing and are not eligible for inclusion in the UK series of FTSE indices.

There are, however, a number of continuing obligations set out in Chapter 22 of the UKLR that are applicable to the Company. These include requirements as to:

  • l the forwarding of circulars and other documentation to the FCA for publication through the document viewing facility and related notification to a Regulatory Information Service;
  • l the provision of contact details of appropriate persons nominated to act as a first point of contact with the FCA in relation to compliance with the Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules;
  • l the form and content of temporary and definitive documents of title;
  • l the appointment of a registrar;
  • l the making of Regulatory Information Service notifications in relation to a range of debt and equity capital issues; and
  • l at least 10% of the Ordinary Shares being held by the public.

In addition, as a company whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, the Company is required to comply with MAR and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

It should be noted that the FCA does not have the authority to (and does not) monitor the Company's compliance with any of the UKLR which the Company has indicated that it intends to comply with on a voluntary basis, nor to impose sanctions in respect of any failure by the Company so to comply. However, the FCA would be able to impose sanctions for non-compliance where the statements regarding compliance in this Prospectus are themselves misleading, false or deceptive.

7.8. Voting rights

  • 7.8.1 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, to any special terms as to voting on which any shares may have been issued or may from time to time be held and to any suspension or abrogation of voting rights pursuant to the Articles, at a general meeting of the Company:
    • (i) every member who is present in person at a physical general meeting shall, on a show of hands, have one vote;
    • (ii) every proxy who has been appointed by one or more members entitled to vote on the resolution shall, on a show of hands, have one vote except that a proxy shall have one vote for and one vote against a resolution if the proxy has been appointed by more than one member and the proxy has been instructed by one or more members to vote for and by one or more other members to vote against the resolution, or one or more members have instructed the proxy to vote for the resolution and one or more members gave the proxy discretion as to how to vote and the proxy exercises that discretion by voting against the resolution, or one or more members have instructed the proxy to vote against the resolution and one or more members gave the proxy discretion as to how to vote and the proxy exercises that discretion by voting for the resolution; and

In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register of members in respect of such share.

  • 7.8.2 Unless the Board otherwise determines, no member is entitled to present and vote at a general meeting or at a separate meeting of the shareholders of any class of shares, either in person or by proxy (save as proxy for another member), or be reckoned in a quorum, or to exercise any other right or privilege as a member in respect of any share held by him:

7.9. Dividends

  • 7.9.1 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and of the Articles, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends to be paid to members according to their respective rights and interests in the profits of the Company. However, no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Board.
  • 7.9.2 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Board may declare and pay such interim dividends (including any dividend payable at a fixed rate) as appears to the

Board to be justified by the profits of the Company available for distribution. If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes, the Board may pay such interim dividends on shares which rank after shares conferring preferential rights with regard to dividend as well as on shares conferring preferential rights, unless at the time of payment any preferential dividend is in arrears. Provided that the Board acts in good faith, it shall not incur any liability to the holders of shares conferring preferential rights for any loss that they may suffer by the lawful payment of any interim dividend on any shares ranking after those preferential rights.

  • 7.9.3 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares on which the dividend is paid but no amount paid up on a share in advance of the date on which a call is payable shall be treated for these purposes as paid up on the share. Subject as aforesaid, all dividends should be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid, but if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, it shall rank for dividend accordingly.
  • 7.9.4 All dividends payable in respect of shares and unclaimed after having been declared and become payable may be invested or otherwise used by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed and the payment of any such dividend or other sum into a separate account does not make the Company a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends unclaimed for a period of 12 years after having become payable shall be forfeited and shall cease to remain owing by the Company.
  • 7.9.5 The Board may, with the authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company, direct that payment of all or part of any dividend declared may be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets, and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company, or in any one or more of such ways. Where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Board may settle it as it thinks fit.
  • 7.9.6 The Board may also, with the prior authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, offer to holders of Ordinary Shares (excluding any member holding Ordinary Shares as treasury shares).
  • 7.9.7 The right to elect to receive Ordinary Shares, credited as fully paid, instead of the whole (or some part, to be determined by the Board) of any dividend specified by the ordinary resolution.
  • 7.9.8 Unless the Board otherwise determines, the payment of any dividend or other money that would otherwise be payable in respect of shares will be withheld if such shares represent at least 0.25% in nominal value of their class and the holder, or any other person whom the Company reasonably believes to be interested in those shares, has been duly served with a notice pursuant to the Companies Acts requiring such person to provide information about his interests in the Company's shares and has failed to supply the required information within 14 days. Furthermore, such a holder shall not be entitled to elect to receive shares instead of a dividend.
  • 7.9.9 If cheques, warrants or orders for dividends in respect of a share sent by the Company to the person entitled thereto through the post or through another method of payment including bank transfers or other electronic means) are returned to the Company or left uncashed during the period for which they are valid or payments by any other method have failed (including where such payments have been rejected or refunded) on two consecutive occasions or, following one occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish any new address or account to be used for the purpose, the Company is not obliged to send any dividends in respect of that share due to that person until he notifies the Company of an address or account to be used for the purpose.
  • 7.9.10 There are no dividend restrictions or alternative procedures to those outlined above for non-resident holders under the Articles.

7.10. Transfer of shares

  • 7.10.1 Subject to any applicable restrictions in the Articles, each member may transfer all or any of his shares which are in certificated form by instrument of transfer in writing in any usual form or in any form approved by the Board. Such instrument must be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and (in the case of a transfer of a share which is not fully paid up) by or on behalf of the transferee. The transferor is deemed to remain the holder of the share until the transferee's name is entered in the register of members. All instruments of transfer which are registered may be retained by the Company.
  • 7.10.2 The Board may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to register any transfer of a share (or renunciation of a renounceable letter of allotment) unless:
    • (i) it is in respect of a share which is fully paid up;
    • (ii) it is in respect of only one class of shares;
    • (iii) it is in favour of a single transferee or not more than four joint transferees;
    • (iv) it is duly stamped (if so required); and
    • (v) it is delivered for registration to the registered office for the time being of the Company or such other place as the Board may from time to time determine, accompanied (except in the case of: (a) a transfer by a recognised person where a certificate has not been issued; (b) a transfer of an uncertificated share; or (c) a renunciation) by the certificate for the share to which it relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor or person renouncing and the due execution of the transfer or renunciation by him or, if the transfer or renunciation is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person to do so,

provided that the Board shall not refuse to register a transfer or renunciation of a partly paid share on the grounds that it is partly paid in circumstances where such refusal would prevent dealings in such share from taking place on an open and proper basis on the market on which such share is admitted to trading. The Board may refuse to register a transfer of an uncertificated share in such other circumstances as may be permitted or required by the regulations and the relevant system.

  • 7.10.3 Unless the Board otherwise determines, a transfer of shares will not be registered if the transferor or any other person whom the Company reasonably believes to be interested in the transferor's shares has been duly served with a notice pursuant to the Companies Acts requiring such person to provide information about his interests in the Company's shares, has failed to supply the required information within 14 days and the shares in respect of which such notice has been served represent at least 0.25% in nominal value of their class, unless the member is not himself in default as regards supplying the information required and proves to the satisfaction of the Board that no person in default as regards supplying such information is interested in any of the shares the subject of the transfer, or unless such transfer is by way of acceptance of a takeover offer, in consequence of a sale on a recognised stock exchange or is in consequence of a bona fide sale to an unconnected party.
  • 7.10.4 If the Board refuses to register a transfer of a share, it shall send the transferee notice of its refusal, together with its reasons for refusal, as soon as practicable and in any event within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company. Any instrument of transfer which the Board refuses to register shall (except in the case of suspected or actual fraud) be returned to the person depositing it.
  • 7.10.5 No fee shall be charged for the registration of any instrument of transfer or any other document relating to or affecting the title to any share and where registered may be retained by the Company.

7.11. Alteration of share capital

7.11.1 The Company may exercise the powers conferred by the Companies Act to:

(i) increase its share capital by allotting new shares of such nominal value as the Board may determine and unless otherwise prescribed in the appropriate resolution of the Company, all such shares shall be subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the Articles with reference to allotment, payment of calls, forfeiture, lien, transfer, transmission and otherwise;

  • (ii) reduce its share capital;
  • (iii) sub-divide or consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital;
  • (iv) reconvert stock into shares;
  • (v) redenominate all or any of its shares and reduce its share cap in connection with such a redenomination.

  • 7.12.2 The Board may convene a meeting of the holders of any class of shares whenever it thinks fit and whether or not the business to be transacted involves a variation or abrogation of class rights.
  • 7.12.3 The quorum at any such meeting shall be not less than two persons present (in person or by proxy) holding at least one-third of the nominal amount paid up on the issued shares of the relevant class (excluding any shares of that class held as treasury shares) and at an adjourned meeting not less than one person holding shares of the relevant class or his proxy.
  • 7.12.4 Subject to the terms of issue of or rights attached to any shares, the rights for the time being attached to any shares shall be deemed not to be varied or abrogated by the creation or issue of any new shares ranking pari passu in all respects (save as to the date from which such new shares shall rank for dividend) with or subsequent to those already issued or by the reduction of the capital paid up on such shares or by the purchase or redemption by the Company of its own shares or the sale of any shares held as treasury shares in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts and the Articles.

7.13. General meetings

  • 7.13.1 The Board may convene a general meeting (which is not an annual general meeting) whenever it thinks fit.

The notice shall specify that a member entitled to attend, and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies (provided each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share held by the member) to attend and to speak and vote instead of the member and that a proxy need not also be a member. The notice must be given to the members (other than any who, under the provisions of the Articles or of any restrictions imposed on any shares, are not entitled to receive notice from the Company) to the Directors and the Auditors and to any other person who may be entitled to receive it. The accidental omission to give notice to (due to

circumstances beyond the Company's control), or the non-receipt of notice by, any person entitled to receive the same, shall not invalidate the proceedings at the meeting.

  • 7.13.4 The right of a member to participate in the business of any general meeting shall include without limitation the right to speak, vote, be represented by a proxy or proxies and have access to all documents which are required by the Companies Acts or the Articles to be made available at the meeting.

The Chairman of any general meeting may also invite any person to attend and speak at that meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares of the Company if he considers that this will assist in the deliberations of the meeting.
  • 7.13.6 No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. Subject to the Articles, two persons (either members, duly authorised representatives or proxies) entitled to vote upon the business to be transacted at the meeting shall be a quorum. The Chairman of the meeting may, with the consent of the meeting at which a quorum is present, and shall, if so, directed by the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time (or indefinitely) and from place to place as the meeting shall determine. Where a meeting is adjourned indefinitely, the Board shall fix a time and place for the adjourned meeting. Whenever a meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more or indefinitely, seven clear days' notice at the least, specifying the place or electronic platform, the day and time of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted, must be given in the same manner as in the case of the original meeting.

  • 7.13.8 The Board may, for the purpose of controlling the level of attendance and ensuring the safety of those attending at any place specified for the holding of a general meeting, ensuring the security of the meeting and ensuring the future orderly conduct of the meeting, from time to time make such arrangements as the Board shall in its absolute discretion consider to be appropriate and may from time to time vary any such arrangements or make new arrangements in place thereof. The entitlement of any member or proxy to attend a general meeting at such place shall be subject to any such arrangements as may be for the time being approved by the Board. In the case of any meeting to which such arrangements apply the Board may, when specifying the place of the meeting:
    • (i) direct that the meeting shall be held at a place specified in the notice at which the chairman of the meeting shall preside (being the principal place); and
    • (ii) make arrangements for simultaneous attendance and participation at satellite meeting places or by way of any other electronic means by members otherwise entitled to attend the general meeting or who wish to attend at satellite meeting places or other places at which persons are participating by electronic means, provided that persons attending at the principal place and at satellite meeting places or other places at which persons are participating by electronic means shall be able to see, hear and be seen and heard by, persons attending at the principal place and at such other places, by any means.

Such arrangements for simultaneous attendance at such other places may include arrangements for controlling the level of attendance in any manner aforesaid at any of such other places, provided that they shall operate so that any excluded members are able to attend at one of the satellite meeting places or other places at which persons are participating by electronic means. Any such meeting shall be treated as taking place at and being held at the principal place.

7.13.9 The Board may direct that any person wishing to attend any physical general meeting should provide evidence of identity and submit to such searches or other security arrangements or restrictions as the Board shall consider appropriate in the circumstances and shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to refuse entry to any meeting to any person who fails to provide such evidence of identity or to submit to such searches or to otherwise comply with such security arrangements or restrictions.

7.14. Issue of shares

  • 7.14.2 Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and to any relevant authority of the Company required by the Companies Act, any new shares shall be at the disposal of the Board.

7.15. Directors' fees

  • 7.15.1 The Directors (other than alternate Directors) shall be entitled to receive by way of fees for their services as Directors such sum as the Board (or any committee authorised by the Board) may from time to time determine (not exceeding £50,000 per annum in aggregate or such other sum as the Company in general meeting by ordinary resolution shall from time to time determine). Such sum (unless otherwise directed by the resolution of the Company by which it is voted) shall be divided among the Directors in such proportions and in such manner as the Board, or any committee authorised by the Board, may determine or, in default of such determination, equally (except that in such event any Director holding office for less than the whole of the relevant period in respect of which the fees are paid shall only rank in such division in proportion to the time during such period for which he holds office). Any fees so payable shall be distinct from any salary, remuneration or other amounts payable to a Director pursuant to the Articles or otherwise and shall accrue from day to day.
  • 7.15.2 If by arrangement with the Board, or any committee authorised by the Board, any Director shall perform or render any special duties or services outside his ordinary duties as a Director and not in his capacity as a holder of employment or executive office, he may be paid such reasonable additional remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board, or any committee authorised by the Board, may from time to time determine.
  • 7.15.3 The salary or remuneration of any Director appointed to hold any employment or executive office may be either a fixed sum of money, or may altogether or in part be governed by business done or profits made or otherwise determined by the Board or any committee authorised by the Board and may be in addition to or in lieu of any fee payable to him for his services as Director.
  • 7.15.4 The Directors are entitled to be repaid all reasonable travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in or about the performance of their duties as Directors.

7.16. Pensions and gratuities for Directors

The Board, or any committee authorised by the Board, may exercise all the powers of the Company to provide pensions, other retirement or superannuation benefits, death or disability benefits or other allowances or gratuities for persons who are or were directors or employees of the Company or any company in the Company and their relatives and dependents.

7.17. Directors' interests

  • 7.17.1 The Board may authorise any matter proposed to it in accordance with the Articles which would otherwise involve a breach by a Director of his duty to avoid conflicts of interest under the Companies Acts, including any matter which relates to a situation in which a Director has or can have an interest which conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interests of the Company (including the exploitation of any property, information or opportunity, whether or not the Company could take advantage of it but excluding any situation which cannot reasonably be regarded as likely to give rise to a conflict of interest). This does not apply to a conflict of interest arising in relation to a transaction or arrangement with the Company. A Director seeking authorisation in respect of a matter which relates to a relevant situation must tell the other Directors of the nature and extent of his interest in the matter as soon as possible. The Director must provide sufficient details of the matter to enable the other Directors to decide how to address the relevant situation together with any additional information which they may request. Any authorisation will only be effective if any quorum requirement at any meeting in which the matter was considered is met without counting the Director in question or any other interested Director and the matter was agreed to without their voting or would have been agreed to if their votes had not been counted. The Board may impose limits or conditions on any such authorisation or may vary or terminate it at any time.
  • 7.17.2 Subject to having, where required, obtained authorisation of the conflict from the Board, a Director shall be under no duty to the Company with respect to any information which he obtains or has obtained otherwise than as a Director of the Company and in respect of which he has a duty of confidentiality to another person and will not be in breach of the general duties he owes to the Company under the Companies Acts because he fails to disclose any such information to the Board or to use or apply any such information in performing his duties as a Director, or because he absents himself from meetings of the Board at which any matter relating to a conflict of interest, or possible conflict of interest is discussed, and/or makes arrangements not to receive documents or information relating to any matter which gives rise to a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest and/or makes arrangements for such documents and information to be received and read by a professional adviser. Provided that his interest is disclosed at a meeting of the Board, or in the case of a transaction or arrangement with the Company, in the manner set out in the Companies Acts, a Director, notwithstanding his office:
    • (i) may be a party to or otherwise be interested in any transaction arrangement or proposal with the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested;
    • (ii) may hold any other office or place of profit at the Company (except that of auditor of the Company) and may act by himself or through his firm in a professional capacity for the Company, and in any such case on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Board may arrange;
    • (iii) may be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to any transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise interested in, any company promoted by the Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested or as regards which the Company has powers of appointment; and
    • (iv) shall not be liable to account to the Company for any profit, remuneration or other benefit realised by any office or employment or from any transaction, arrangement or proposal or from any interest in any body corporate. No such transaction, arrangement or proposal shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit nor shall the receipt of any such profit, remuneration or any other benefit constitute a breach of his duty not to accept benefits from third parties.
  • 7.17.3 A Director need not declare an interest in the case of a transaction or arrangement with the Company if the other Directors are already aware, or ought reasonably to be

aware, of the interest or it concerns the terms of his service contract that have been or are to be considered at a meeting of the Directors or a committee of the Directors or if the interest consists of him being a director, officer or employee of a company in which the Company is interested.

  • 7.17.4 A Director shall be deemed to have disclosed the nature and extent of an interest which consists of him being a director, officer or employee of any body corporate in which the Company is interested.
  • 7.17.5 The Board may cause the voting rights conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company or any power of appointment to be exercised in such manner in all respects as it thinks fit and a Director may vote on and be counted in the quorum in relation to any of these matters.

7.18. Restrictions on Directors' voting

  • 7.18.1 A Director shall not vote on, or be counted in the quorum in relation to, any resolution of the Board or of a committee of the Board concerning any transaction or arrangement which is to his knowledge a material interest and, if he purports to do so, his vote will not be counted, but this prohibition shall not apply in respect of any resolution concerning any one or more of the following matters:
    • (i) any transaction or arrangement in which he is interested by means of an interest in shares, debentures or other securities or otherwise in or through the Company;
    • (ii) the giving of any guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of money lent to, or obligations incurred by him or any other person at the request of or for the benefit of, the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings;
    • (iii) the giving of any guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of a debt or obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings for which he himself has assumed responsibility in whole or in part under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;
    • (iv) the giving of any other indemnity where all other Directors are also being offered indemnities on substantially the same terms;
    • (v) any proposal concerning an offer of shares or debentures or other securities of or by the Company or any of its subsidiary undertakings in which offer he is or may be entitled to participate as a holder of securities or in the underwriting or sub-underwriting of which he is to participate;
    • (vi) any proposal concerning any other body corporate in which he does not to his knowledge have an interest (as the term is used in Part 22 of the Act) in one% or more of the issued equity share capital of any class of such body corporate (calculated exclusive of any shares of that class in that company held as treasury shares) nor to his knowledge hold one% or more of the voting rights which he holds as shareholder or through his direct or indirect holding of financial instruments (within the meaning of the DTRs) in such body corporate;

7.19. Number of Directors

Unless and until otherwise determined by an ordinary resolution of the Company, the number of Directors (other than any alternate Directors) shall not be less than two but there shall be no maximum.

7.20. Directors' appointment and retirement

  • 7.20.1 Directors may be appointed by the Company by ordinary resolution or by the Board. If appointed by the Board, a Director holds office only until the next annual general meeting and shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation.
  • 7.20.2 At each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not exceeding one-third shall retire from office by rotation. If there are fewer than three Directors, one Director shall retire from office.
  • 7.20.3 Any Director shall retire at the first annual general meeting of the Company following his appointment and shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at that meeting. At each annual general meeting, any Director who was elected or last re-elected at or before the annual general meeting held in the third calendar year before the current year shall retire by rotation.

7.25. CREST

  • 7.27.1 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share which is not fully paid for all amounts (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that share to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Companies Act. The Board may waive any lien which has arisen and may resolve that any share shall for some limited period be exempt wholly or partially from the relevant provisions of the Articles.
  • 7.27.2 The Board may sell all or any of the shares subject to any lien at such time or times and in such manner as it may determine.

    • (ii) in the case of a share in uncertificated form, the Board may, to enable the Company to deal with the share in accordance with paragraph (b) and (c), require the operator of a relevant system to convert the share into certificated form, and after such conversion, authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer and take such other steps (including the giving of directions to or on behalf of the holder, who shall be bound by them) as they think fit to effect the transfer.

The major creditor continues to seek solutions to the debt and operational challenges faced by the mine.

In the audited financial statements for the Company for the 12 months to 31 January 2022, 2023 and 2024 the auditors noted a material uncertainty relating to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern due, to the availability of further financing for the 12 months ended 31 January 2024 and 2023 and dependence on the Company's main shareholder for financing for the 12 months ended 31 January 2022.

In the audited financial statements for Georgina for the 12 months to 30 April 2022 and 2023 the auditors noted a material uncertainty relating to the ability of Georgina to continue as a going concern due to the availability of further financing.

From their grant, EPs remain in force for 5 years and may be renewed for up to 2 further periods of 5 years.

Pursuant to section 29 of the Petroleum Act, the holder of an EP has the exclusive right to explore for petroleum and to carry on such operations and execute such works as are necessary for that purpose in the EP area, subject to its conditions and any directions from the Minister.

Every EP shall, unless expressly waived, varied or suspended in writing by the Minister, be granted subject to the conditions imposed under section 27 of the Petroleum Act , being such conditions as the Minister thinks fit and specifies in the permit document. Given that EP 155 has not been granted at the date of this Report, we do not know at this stage what conditions the Minister may see fit to impose.

Under section 81 of the Petroleum Act the holder of an EP must pay the owner and occupier of land comprised in the EP for: (i) deprivation of use or enjoyment of the land, including improvements on the land; and (ii) damage caused to the land, including improvements on the land.

In the case of EP 155, which will need to be the subject of an agreement under ALRA (which agreement will include compensation provisions), these payment requirements under section 81 of the Petroleum Act will be subsumed into the agreement on the terms agreed.

The holder of the EP shall not commence exploration operations unless the holder has given notice to the owner of the land comprised in the EP and any occupier of the land who has a registered interest in that land (section 81(2)(a) of Petroleum Act). The holder of the EP must then notify the Minister that the holder has notified all owners and occupiers (section 81(2)(b) of Petroleum Act).

The holder of the EP must compensate the owner where any land over which a right to construct a road or carry out other work to ensure access to an EP area is injured or diminished in value under s 82 of the Petroleum Act.

Westmarket O&G has acknowledged that it will assume any outstanding obligations under those third-party agreements, in so far as they apply to EP 155, at the time that Westmarket O&G holds an interest in EP 155 (to the extent of that interest).

In relation to EP 155, OilCo entered into an Overriding Royalty Deed dated 27 August 2014. Under the Overriding Royalty Deed OilCo grants to High Peak Royalties Limited a gross overriding revenue royalty on all oil and gas produced and recovered at the wellhead which is sourced from EP 155 (upon being granted) during each financial year in which petroleum is produced. This is calculated at 2% of the gross value of oil or Gas produced and recovered at the wellhead.

The obligation to pay the royalty over EP 155 pursuant to the Overriding Royalty Deed, remains in full force and effect and is not extinguished by any assignment or change of control affecting OilCo, and as such Westmarket O&G will assume this liability.

EP 155 is governed by the laws of Northern Australia.

RULE 9 WAIVER AND ADDITIONAL TAKEOVER CODE DISCLOSURES

1. TERMS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

As noted above in Part VII of this Document, the Company has entered into the Proposed Acquisition Agreement whereby the Company has agreed to acquire, subject to several conditions,100% of the issued share capital of Georgina. The consideration for the Proposed Acquisition is the issue of:

  • 1.1 Conditional on Re-admission, the Company shall issue the following New Ordinary Shares in relation to the Proposed Acquisition:
    • i) 26,000,000 Initial Consideration Shares to shareholders of Georgina; and
    • ii) 12,909,859 Convertible Loan Shares that have been novated from Georgina to the Company.
  • 1.2 Following Re-admission, the Company may issue the following New Ordinary Shares in relation to the Proposed Acquisition:
    • i) up to 31,500,0000 Performance Shares to Westmarket, the largest shareholder of Georgina, based on certain milestones as detailed in section 3 of this Part XVI. Therefore, the total Consideration Shares issued is up to 57,000,000; and
    • ii) Up to 14,762,336 New Ordinary Shares in the event the Westmarket Loan is converted at the election of Westmarket.

On Re-admission, Georgina will have voting rights over 26,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company following the issue of Initial Consideration Shares which shall represent 28.9% of the voting rights of the Company based on the Enlarged Share Capital.

On Re-admission, The Concert Party will have voting rights over 31,580,785 ordinary shares of the Company which shall represent 35.1% of the voting rights of the Company based on the Enlarged Share Capital.

The Concert Party will have voting rights over 94,210,501 ordinary shares which shall represent 61.7% of the voting rights of the Company if the Concert Party exercises the maximum amount of certain Warrants, the Performance Shares and the Westmarket Loan.

Details relating to the issue of New Ordinary Shares by the Company are noted in part 4 of this Part XVI.

Part I of this Prospectus sets out the opportunity to the Company represented by the Proposed Acquisition and the anticipated benefit to the Company of undertaking the Proposed Acquisition.

Except for the agreements effecting the Proposed Acquisition, agreements with service providers and as otherwise set out in this Part XVI, no member of the Concert Party will within the period of two years preceding the date of this Prospectus have entered into any material contract with the Company.

2. THE WAIVER RESOLUTIONS

Under Rule 9 of the City Code, any person who acquires an interest (as such term is defined in the Takeover Code) in shares which, taken together with the shares in which he and persons acting in concert with him are interested, carry 30% or more of the voting rights in a company which is subject to the Takeover Code, is normally required to make a general offer to all of the remaining shareholders to acquire their shares. Similarly, when any person, together with persons acting in concert with him, is interested in shares which in aggregate carry not less than 30% of the voting rights but does not hold shares carrying more than 50% of the voting rights of such a company, a general offer will normally be required if any further interests in shares are acquired by any such person. These limits apply to the entire concert party as well as the total beneficial holdings of individual members. Such an offer would have to be made in cash at a price not less than the highest price paid by him, or by any member of the group of persons acting in concert with him, for any interest in shares in the Company during the 12 months prior to the announcement of the offer.

Shareholders should also be aware that under the Takeover Code, if a person (or group of persons acting in concert) holds shares carrying more than 50% of the Company's voting rights, that person (or any person(s) acting in concert with him) may acquire further shares without incurring any obligation under Rule 9 to make a mandatory offer.

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Placing, the exercise of certain Warrants, the issue of Performance Shares and conversion of the Westmarket Loan the Concert Party will hold more than 50% of the Company's voting share capital, and, for as long as it continues to be treated as acting in concert, any further increase in that aggregate interest in shares by the Concert Party will not be subject to the provisions of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, although individual members of the Concert Party will not be able to increase their percentage interests in shares through or between a Rule 9 threshold without Panel consent.

The Panel has agreed to waive the obligation on the Concert Party to make a general offer that would otherwise arise as a result of the interests in the Ordinary Shares following the issue of the Consideration Shares,excercise of certain Warrants and conversion of the Westmarket Loan to any member of the Concert Party provided the approval, on a poll of the Independent Shareholders, is obtained at the General Meeting. Accordingly, the Waiver Resolutions are being proposed at the General Meeting and will be taken on a poll. Therefore, the directors who are independent of the Concert Party ("Independent Directors") are seeking Independent Shareholders approval, via resolutions to be put before the meeting at the General Meeting ("Waiver Resolutions"), for a waiver to be granted from the Rule 9 obligations that would otherwise apply to the Concert Party in these circumstances ("Rule 9 Waiver").

For the avoidance of doubt, the Rule 9 Waiver applies only in respect of the interest in Ordinary Shares by the Concert Party, resulting in the maximum control of 60.4% following the issue of the Initial Consideration Shares, certain Warrants, Performance Shares and the Westmarket Loan not in respect of other increases in its interests in Ordinary Shares. In the event that the Waiver Resolutions are approved by Independent Shareholders, no member of the Concert Party will be restricted from making an offer for the Company.

In considering the Waiver Resolutions the existing Shareholders should have regard to the following:

  • i) on the issue of the Consideration Shares the Concert Party may hold a significant proportion of the Enlarged Share Capital. The interests of the Concert Party may conflict with the interests of the Independent Shareholders and/or the Company and in such circumstances, matters may not be resolved in a manner which Independent Shareholders consider to be in their best interests or in the interests of the Company;
  • ii) the anticipated significant size of the Concert Party's interest following completion of the Proposed Acquisition and issue of the Consideration Shares, exercise of certain Warrants and conversion of the Westmarket Loan may have an impact on the Company's future ability to attract new equity investors, which could in turn have an effect on the Company's ability to grow; and
  • iii) in the event that Shareholders do not vote in favour of the Waiver Resolutions, then the Placing will not complete and the Proposed Acquisition, which is conditional on the completion of the Placing, will not proceed which will impact the future business of the Company.

3. RULE 9 AND CONCERT PARTY

The Takeover Code which is issued and administered by the Panel, applies to Mining, Minerals & Metals Plc. The Company is a public limited liability company. The registered office of the Company is Fifth Floor, 167-169 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PF and will continue to be, in England.

The Company and its shareholders are afforded certain protections under the Takeover Code.

The Takeover Code makes provision where a person and any person acting in concert pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal) co-operate, to obtain or consolidate control of that company. Control means an interest, or aggregate interest, in shares carrying in aggregate 30 per cent. or more of the voting rights (as defined in the Takeover Code), irrespective of whether the interest or interests give de facto control.

Persons "acting in concert" under the Takeover Code is defined at the end of this Part XVI. For the purposes of the Proposed Acquisition, certain recipients of the Consideration Shares, Convertible Loan Shares and Warrant Holders are deemed to be acting in concert and therefore form the "Concert Party" as follows:

6. INFORMATION ON GEORGINA ENERGY

Registered Office 167-169 Great Portland Street, Fifth Floor, London, England, W1W 5PF

Place of Incorporation England & Wales

Registered number 11954589

Georgina was founded by Mark Wallace and Anthony Hamilton and is an early-stage well re-development company with a strategy of actively pursuing the exploration, commercial development and monetisation of helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon interests located in the Amadeus and Officer Basins in the Northern Territory and Western Australia.

Georgina currently has two principal onshore interests held through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Westmarket. The first, the Hussar Prospect, which Westmarket has a 100% working interest in, is located in the Officer Basin in Western Australia. The Hussar Prospect is currently the subject of an airborne audio electromagnetic survey. The second, the Mount Winter Prospect, is located in the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory, which Westmarket has a right to earn an initial 75 per cent. interest in (with the potential to reach 90 per cent.) by virtue of the Farmout Agreement. Both Prospects have pre-existing seismically defined structural closures and independently verified recoverable resources, offering a low-cost initial drilling point.

18. RATINGS AND OUTLOOK

As at the date of this document, the Company does not have any public current credit rating or outlook from a ratings agency.

19. ADMISSION, SETTLEMENT, DEALINGS AND TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS

The New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid up and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of the Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the New Ordinary Shares, and will on issue be free of all claims, liens, charges, encumbrances and equities.

Applications will be made for the admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on the the Equity Shares (transition) category of the Official List and the main market of the London Stock Exchange. Admission of the New Ordinary Shares is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 30 July 2024 (or such later times(s) and/or date(s) as Tavira and the Company may agree).

Following Re-admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company in issue is expected to be 90,088,396 with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is expected to be 90,088,396. The above figure may be used by Shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Table 2. Prospective (Recoverable) Resource estimates attributable to the interests held by Georgina Energy (BCFG - Billion Cubic Feet Gas).

Resource estimates presented are unrisked and have been determined utilising the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS) 2018 and 2011 (Guideline) principals. Standard PRMS terminology is utilised in this report, presenting Resource Estimates as low 1U (P90), 2U for best estimate (P50), and as 3U for high estimate (P10) of as-yet undiscovered volumes.

Within these assets Georgina Energy have identified large prospects with multi TCF potential for gaseous Hydrocarbons with extraordinarily high concentrations of Hydrogen and Helium, as demonstrated within wells in the Amadeus Basin. These structures have been identified using the existing surface and sub-surface geological and geophysical datasets that have been made available to the Company. Georgina Energy plans to re-enter and deepen to the subsalt target reservoir the existing wells that have previously been drilled on each of these structures to test the primary target, should well engineering and design support this strategy.

In Georgina Energy's EPA 155 the Mount Winter Prospect, based on the reviewed technical data, known analogues in the Amadeus Basin, and reasonable fundamentals, hosts unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resources (SPE PRMS) of c.148 BCFG (148 million MCF) of Helium and c.135 BCFG (135 million MCF) of Hydrogen, and c.1,220 BCFG of Hydrocarbons. Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

Within Georgina Energy's EP 513, the Hussar Prospect, based on the available technical data, known analogues within the Amadeus Basin, and reasonable fundamentals, hosts unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resources (SPE PRMS) of c.155 BCFG (155 million MCF) of Helium and c.173 BCFG (173 million MCF) of Hydrogen, and c.1,750 BCFG of Hydrocarbons. Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

Helium and Hydrogen are both valuable gases in global markets, naturally occurring Hydrogen, native Hydrogen found in sub-surface reservoirs, as identified in the Amadeus Basin (the location of Georgina Energy's EPA 155) is currently of significant interest as a source of inexpensive green energy. (Isabelle Moretti, M. E. Webber, Natural Hydrogen: A Geological Curiosity Or The Primary Energy Source For A Low-Carbon Future? ) https://www.renewablematter.eu/articles/article/natural-hydrogen-a-geological-curiosity-orthe-primary-energy-source-for-a-low-carbon-future The potential volumes of these high value gases and Hydrocarbons within Georgina Energy's assets are significant on any scale and should they be proven will deliver significant value to the Company.

Gaseous Hydrocarbons are a valuable commodity to Australia's LNG export industry, and Helium and Hydrogen are both significantly more valuable gases in global markets. At the last auction for industrial Helium sold off from the US Federal Helium Reserve by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in August 2018 Grade-A (or 99.99% purity) Helium was priced at \$390/mcf. (U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries, January 2024) https://doi.org/10.3133/mcs2024 Current Hydrogen pricing varies considerably but costs in the range of US\$1.40 to US\$6.80/kg depending on whether it is "green", "turquoise" "blue: or "grey" Hydrogen. (The Hydrogen Council, Path to hydrogen competitiveness A cost perspective 20 January 2020) https://hydrogencouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Pathto-Hydrogen- Competitiveness_Full-Study-1.pdf

The Amadeus and Officer basins are large remnants of the Neoproterozoic Centralian Superbasin, each containing up to 12km and 8km of clastic sediments respectively. This common ancestry ensures that the early stratigraphy is consistent across both basins. The sedimentary section includes all the geological components necessary for the generation, expulsion and entrapment of large volumes of Helium, Hydrogen and Hydrocarbons.

Pre-salt sequences in many basins globally are highly prospective for Hydrocarbons given salt's excellent sealing and thermal properties, and a competent salt seal over long periods of time is essential for trapping Helium and Hydrogen in any significant concentration. The Amadeus and Officer Basins are considered to be highly prospective large areas, that have the potential to trap large volumes of gas, in particular within the sub-salt basal clastic sequences. However, both basins have been significantly underexplored since the first wells were drilled in the 1960s and are still considered to be frontier basins, suffering from a lack of exploration activity, both historical and current.

The prospectivity of Georgina Energy's assets, EPA 155 and EP 513, is considered to be high, potentially containing significant volumes of Hydrocarbons, Helium, and Hydrogen. Much of the sub-surface risk for Hydrocarbons has been mitigated given existing wells within these permits have intersected Helium, Hydrogen, and Hydrocarbons, proving the presence of active petroleum systems and similar sequences at Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1 have intersected extraordinarily high concentrations of both Helium and Hydrogen.

Mapping and future exploration work planned by Georgina Energy is likely to further de-risk individual Prospects identified by the Company. However, the basic elements of the two Projects, Mount Winter Prospect (EPA 155) and Hussar Prospect (EP 513), as identified by Georgina Energy are well defined from the existing seismic and well data within and through regional interpretation of subsalt sequences.

Mount Winter Project (EPA 155)

In EPA 155 Georgina Energy propose to test a large early Neoproterozoic sub-salt basal prospect (the Mount Winter Prospect) in the Amadeus Basin by re-entering and deepening the Mount Winter-1 well drilled in 1982, to a new proposed Total Depth (TD) of approximately 3,400 meters. The primary reservoir target, the Heavitree Quartzite has only ever been targeted by three wells and gas flow tested by two, Mt Kitty-1 (2014) and Magee-1 (1982) located approximately 250km and 325km respectively to the southeast of EPA 155, within the Amadeus Basin. Both wells tested gas with an extremely high content of Helium, 9% in Mt Kitty-1 and 6.2% in Magee-1, Mt Kitty-1 also contained 11% Hydrogen, both highly valuable gases. The third well to target the pre-salt, Dukas-1 located approximately 250km to the southeast of EPA 155, spudded in 2019 and was suspended before reaching the Heavitree Quartzite (High Peak Royalties Limited Amadeus Basin Exploration Review, July 2020) due to very high-pressure gas being encountered just above the Heavitree which exceeded the safety limits of the drilling rig (Central Petroleum Limited, Exploration Opportunities Activities in the Amadeus Basin; July 2020). The presence of high-pressure gas is interpreted to be encouraging and suggests a possible large gas column, potentially a large gas field. The Santos/Central Joint Venture are currently planning a re-entry or possible re-drill of the Dukas-1 well using a much larger drilling rig.

The term Quartzite in relation to the Heavitree and Its lateral equivalent the Townsend Quartzite in the Officer Basin may be a misnomer; where these units have been intersected by drilling recorded porosities have been quite high ranging from 5% up to 30% in Magee-1 (1992 Pacific Oil & Gas Pty Limited), Kutjara-1 and Mulyawara-1 (2011 Rodinia Oil Corp.). TJ Munson, PD Kruse and M Ahmad reference these formations as "the basal sandstone interval of Supersequence 1" in the Centralian A Superbasin (Geology and mineral resources of the Northern Territory Northern Territory Geological Survey Special Publication 5 Chapter 22: Centralian Superbasin; May 2012). Clarke (1974) had divided the Heavitree Quartzite, exposed at four localities on the northern margin of the Amadeus Basin, into four divisions named as members. These include a green siltstone forming the basal interval overlying basement, followed by the 'Temple Bar sandstone', then the 'Fenn Gap conglomerate', and finally the topmost 'Blatherskite member'. However, this nomenclature is not recognised formally, but suggests these 'quartzites' represents a predominantly clastic lithostratigraphy.

The Mount Winter Prospect may potentially hold large volumes of Hydrocarbons, in addition to Helium and Hydrogen within a large structural closure with an apparent aerial extent estimated at approximately 17 km2. Interpretation of the available seismic and geological data suggests the Mount Winter Prospect is a basement structure overlain by a thick (up to 600m plus) Heavitree Quartzite reservoir that is sealed by thick evaporitic (salt) units of the Gillen Member of the late Proterozoic Bitter Springs Formation. The Mount Winter-1 well drilled to a Total Depth (TD) of 2650m in thick salt units of the Gillen Member of the Bitter Springs Formation encountering significant Hydrocarbon shows within sandstones and siltstones of the Bitter Springs Formation directly above the Mount Winter Prospect reservoir target. The Hydrocarbon shows confirm that an active petroleum system exists within sealing units immediately above the target reservoir. Current estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of Helium, Hydrogen & Hydrocarbons for the Mount Winter Prospect are summarised in Table 3.

Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

Hussar Project (EP 513)

Georgina Energy's Hussar Project proposes to test a very large, estimated 200km2, sub-salt closure with a re-entry and deepening of the Hussar-1 well drilled in 1982, to a new proposed Total Depth (TD) of approximately 3,200 meters. The primary reservoir target in the Hussar Prospect is the Townsend Quartzite, a lateral stratigraphic equivalent to the Heavitree Quartzite in Georgina Energy's EPA 155 in the Amadeus Basin. The Hussar Prospect, interpreted to have a similar geological history to the Mount Winter Prospect in EPA 155, is a large Neoproterozoic basement high block overlain by the Townsend Quartzite reservoir and sealed by evaporites of the Browne Formation, a lateral equivalent of the Gillen salt units in the Bitter Springs Formation within the Amadeus Basin.

The Hussar-1 well drilled in 1982 reached a TD of 2040m in a massive halite (salt) in the upper Browne Formation above the basal Townsend Quartzite beds. High mud gas readings and trip gas was encountered across multiple zones wherever porosity was present during the drilling of the well. A working petroleum system has been demonstrated at the Hussar location. The prospect is a very large structure and may potentially hold significant volumes of gaseous Hydrocarbons, Helium and Hydrogen. Current estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of Helium, Hydrogen and Hydrocarbons for the Hussar Prospect, specific only to the subsalt Townsend Quartzite are summarised in Table 4.

These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

Georgina Energy have reviewed all options for the commercial exploitation of any discovered Hydrocarbons, Helium, and Hydrogen in the Mount Winter and Hussar Prospects. The ongoing, and projected, increases in demand continue to support significant price increases for these gases which in turn helps lower the commercial threshold for the development of any proven resources. At present the most effective strategy for the Company is to sell any produced gases at the wellhead.

Georgina Energy have stated that it is not the intention of the company to export any Hydrocarbons, Helium, or Hydrogen but to sell the products at the wellhead to industry leading Helium supply companies such as BOC/Linde who would design, install and commission an appropriate Nitrogen/Hydrocarbon/Helium/Hydrogen separation and extraction plant. Preliminary enquiries by Georgina Energy indicate that there is strong interest from various international and domestic suppliers of these gases in the purchase of all product at wellhead with such suppliers taking on the task of separation, extraction, liquefaction and containerisation of the various product lines potentially available. An example liquid Helium plant with transportation containers is shown in Figure 2.

Georgina Energy has completed multiple studies and analysis of the available data from the two permit areas and their surrounds and are currently reviewing other opportunities covering large areas across the Centralian Superbasin that may contain prospects and leads with multi TCF potential for gaseous Hydrocarbons, Hydrogen and Helium.

Both the Western Australian Government and Northern Territory Government provide access to all historical datasets and there are vast volumes of third-party studies and papers on both the Amadeus and Officer Basins available

Georgina Energy's assets EPA 155 and EP 513 are located within the Amadeus and Officer Basins respectively (Figure 4). Both basins underlay remote and sparsely populated regions of central and western Australia across a very large swath of land in the interior of the country. Their combined aerial extent is approximately 480,000 km² (Amadeus: ~170,000 km² & WA portion of Officer: ~310,000 km²), circa twice the land mass of the United Kingdom (242,495 km²). These basins both contain a thick sedimentary sequence of up to 12 km and have a common Neoproterozoic Centralian Superbasin origin.

Figure 4. Approximate location of Georgina Energy interests with approximate distribution of Australian

cratonic Cambrian and Cambrian–Ordovician basins comprising Centralian B Superbasin (modified after Munson et al., 2013), with generalized Neoproterozoic stratigraphy on the right indicating the position of the main Tonian salt units. Known and inferred distribution of preserved subsurface salt in the Amadeus and Officer Basins is based on seismic data and drilling, where available, or extrapolated beyond, while possible occurrences in other basins are also indicated (Courtesy PW Haines and HJ Allen, World's oldest regional salt seal in the Amadeus and Officer Basins: implications for subsalt helium and hydrocarbons; GSWA 2020 extended abstracts.)

The Amadeus and Officer Basins are highly prospective for Hydrocarbons and contain multiple proven petroleum systems that have the potential to generate large volumes of natural gas from thick source rocks widely distributed across large areas that are proven to be in the gas window. The presence of working petroleum systems has been confirmed by multiple intersections of gas and oil in wells drilled in these basins. In the Amadeus Basin oil and gas is currently being produced from the Mereenie, Palm Valley, Dingo, and Surprise fields. In addition to gas and oil currently produced in the Amadeus Basin, very high concentrations of Helium have been encountered in Mt Kitty-1 (9% He) and Magee-1 (6.2% He) and very high concentrations of naturally occurring Hydrogen in Mt Kitty-1 (11% H), the only two wells to have penetrated the early Neoproterozoic sub-salt basal Heavitree Quartzite reservoir within the Amadeus Basin. The few wells that have been drilled in the western Officer Basin have encountered multiple Hydrocarbon shows within lithostratigraphic equivalent units above the regional salt seal.

The early Neoproterozoic sub-salt petroleum system, 'Petroleum System 1' of Marshall (2003) and Marshall et al (2007), containing very high concentrations of Helium and Hydrogen in the Amadeus Basin is Georgina Energy's primary play (Figure 4); a largely underexplored petroleum system within both basins. Georgina Energy is planning to drill into the Heavitree quartzite reservoir in EPA 155 and the stratigraphic equivalent Townsend quartzite reservoir in EP 513.

Georgina Energy have identified two large prospects that potentially contain significant volumes of Hydrocarbons, Helium and Hydrogen for drilling. Both the Mount Winter and Hussar prospects potentially contain multi TCF volumes of gas, and possibly significant volumes of Helium and Hydrogen given the high concentrations of Helium encountered by the Mt Kitty-1 and Magee-1 wells and, in addition Hydrogen in the Mt Kitty-1.

Existing infrastructure in close proximity to EPA 155 lowers the economic threshold for commercial development by providing access to eastern gas markets via the national gas pipeline network shown in Figure 5 below. Projections for an expanding global Helium market and Australian Government support for a domestic Hydrogen industry (National Hydrogen Roadmap Pathways to an economically sustainable Hydrogen industry in Australia) also assist in lowering the threshold of commerciality for any confirmed discovery.

There has been no historic production nor any existing facilities within the interest areas held by Georgina Energy, within the acreage located in the Amadeus Basin (EPA 155) nor within the Officer Basin (EP 513). There are no environmental matters associated with such matters as historical production or existing infrastructure.

The areas of interest have a history of previous exploration and have been identified as areas requiring further investment in support of such endeavours by the Government with the support local communities.

1.1. HELIUM MARKET

Helium (He) is a naturally occurring inert gas that is colourless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and is the second most abundant gas in the Universe after Hydrogen (H). It is the second lightest gas in the Universe and hence is non-renewable on Earth as it escapes into space once it is released into the atmosphere. However, it is rare on Earth and is formed through natural radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements, such as uranium and thorium, deep within the Earth. It is found within natural gas reserves in sub-surface geological traps, generally, in concentrations of less than 7% by volume.

Commercial production of Helium is via extraction from natural gas production streams, in Australia it is only produced from the Bayu-Undan gas stream at Conoco-Phillips liquefied nitrogen gas (LNG) plant in Darwin by BOC Limited which opened a Helium production facility in 2010. Helium concentration in the Bayu-Undan Gasfield is no greater than 0.1% but by the time the gas has been treated in the LNG trains, non-commercial gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide have been removed, the Helium concentration rises to c.2-3% so that it can then be economically extracted from the tail gases.

Helium is vital to our technologically driven society and is critical to the manufacturing processes of many 'high-tech' industries. It is an irreplaceable gas that has ever increasing uses given the continuing expansion of technology in our day-to-day lives. Further to this 'natural' growth in demand, the current global shortage of semiconductors and the expanding technology 'arms race' between the Western economies and China is likely to increase the momentum of demand growth exceeding recent, most likely, conservative projections that suggest the global Helium market will expand by approximately 60% over the next four years.

Figure 6. Forecast Helium market growth (Courtesy Research And Markets extract, Global Helium Market: Insights & Forecast with Potential Impact of COVID-19 (2021-2025), April 2021)

Despite the effects of COVID on the global economy in 2020-21 there continues to be upward pressures on the price of Helium for the foreseeable future driven by continued demand grow, as identified above, and anticipated tightening of supply. From a supply perspective, recent low LNG prices have resulted in the postponement or cancelation of a number of significant new LNG projects, the source of the input stream from which Helium is stripped out, stimming supply growth and ensuring a continued supply side issue for the global Helium market. https://www.gem.wiki/Delays_in_LNG_Projects_in_2020

https://www.naturalgasintel.com/canceled-annova-lng-export-project-signals-potentialheadwinds-for-u-s-fids/

These demand and supply factors continue to support high Helium pricing demonstrated at the last auction for bulk volumes of Grade-A (or 99.99% purity) industrial Helium sold off from the US Federal Helium Reserve by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in 2018, realising prices up to 100 times higher than LNG today. https://www.naturalgasintel.com/albertas-Helium-industry-ballooning-as-prices-soar-far-above-natural-gas/

Pricing data from USGS Helium Yearbook Excerpts; 1996-2024 showing a clear and significant rise in the price of Grade-A Helium for private industry over recent years.

Helium's unique properties and uses combined with its rarity, given its very low concentrations in naturally occurring reservoirs, are significant factors in Helium's high valuation. Of note in Table 5 the concentrations of Helium in the reservoirs of all the world's Helium producers in 2015 do not exceed 2% by volume.

Helium is a key play in Georgina Energy's EPA 155 and EP 513 containing large structures that potentially hold significant volumes of natural gas and Helium. In addition to the high Helium content within the Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1 wells Helium was also confirmed in the Ooraminna-2 and Palm Valley-1 wells, within the Amadeus Basin confirming its basin-wide distribution. The lower concentrations at Ooraminna-2 and Palm Valley-1 may represent minor leakage of a deeper pre-salt accumulation within the Heavitree Quartzite. Hydrocarbons intersected by all 4 wells are likely representative of the shallower hydrocarbon systems, although gas leakage from the deeper, sub-salt, play is possible given the presence of Helium in all four wells.

The bulk of the world's Helium has been sourced from sub-salt clastic reservoirs overlying basement granitoids in eight oil and gas fields located on the Four Corners Platform of northwestern New Mexico since 1943 from reservoirs of Permian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, and Devonian age. High concentrations of Helium are produced from these reservoirs together with relatively high nitrogen content.

Figure 8. US Natural Gas Fields: Helium vs Methane, plus Mt Kitty-1 and Magee-1 (Modified after Central Petroleum press release; Quarterly Report April to June 2009, 31 July 2009) addition of Mt Kitty-1 drilled in 2014.

The Helium reservoirs in the oil and gas fields located on the Four Corners Platform, although significantly younger, are a perfect analogue to Georgina Energy's Helium play in the Amadeus and Officer basins; the Heavitree-Townsend pre-salt basal quartzite overlying granitoid basement. The significantly higher concentrations of Helium encountered at Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1 is likely a consequence of the much greater time period over which Heavitree and Townsend reservoirs have been exposed to Helium generation and entrapment.

The testing of such high concentrations of Helium in two out of only two wells to have drilled the basal Heavitree Quartzites, and reportedly at high concentrations in mud gas of the Amadeus Basin Dukas ST-1 well just above the targeted Heavitree Quartzite (John Heugh, The Mount Winter Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation; May 2020) suggests the likelihood of high concentrations of Helium gas being widespread across the ancient pre- salt reservoirs within the Amadeus Basin and possibly within laterally stratigraphic pre-salt equivalents in the western Officer Basin.

1.2. HYDROGEN MARKET

Hydrogen gas (H2) burnt as a fuel with oxygen (O2) produces water (H2O) and releases energy; 2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (g) + energy. It is an extremely clean form of energy production and is consequently a major focus of governments globally as the world aims to de-carbonise its energy sector.

Figure 9. Venn diagram representing current main applications [left circle] for Hydrogen and major growth potential [right circle], (Courtesy CSIRO, National Hydrogen Roadmap Pathways to an economically sustainable Hydrogen industry in Australia, Executive Summary, April 2021)

Hydrogen has a long-established market in the production of fertilizers, refining, and to a lesser degree it is used in the petrochemicals industry and in some manufacturing. The major uses for the gas are shown in Figure 9. However, a rapidly growing segment of the global Hydrogen market is the use of the gas for energy. A significant focus has been in the transportation sector where it's major use is in commercial fuel cell vehicles; Toyota in particular has been a major proponent of its use in passenger cars. https://www.toyota.com.au/mirai

International efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in significant interest in the use of Hydrogen as an alternate form of clean and renewable energy with many governments supporting initiatives, Figure 10, to advance the use of Hydrogen in their economies (Doug Vine, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, The Climate Case for Hydrogen 16 March 2020 https://www.c2es.org/2020/03/the-climate-case-for-hydrogen/).

Figure 10. The number of countries with polices that directly support investment in hydrogen (Courtesy of IEA, The Future of Hydrogen Seizing today's opportunities, Technology Report – June 2019) https://www.iea.org/reports/the-future-of-hydrogen

As a consequence of global interest in Hydrogen being a green source of energy for the future and an increase in the number of governments providing incentives and targets for Hydrogen utilisation in their economies (Figure 10) a broad range of analysts forecast significant growth in utilisation and demand for Hydrogen as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Projected Hydrogen demand growth, up to 24% of global energy needs by 2050 exceeding \$2.5 trillion annual revenues (Courtesy BofA Securities Global Research, Thematic Investing The Special 1 – Hydrogen primer; 24 September 2020)

Hydrogen is, inter alia, currently produced through steam methane reforming using natural gas as a feedstock, however, production in this manner, in the absence of any Carbon Capture and Storage mechanism ("CCS") is not seen as key to the success of Hydrogen as a green energy alternate for the world's dependence on fossil fuels unless renewable energy sources are utilised for its production processes. At present significant volumes of CO2 are produced through the steam methane reforming process (Figure 12). Naturally occurring Hydrogen is however, a significantly greener and cheaper option which is now the focus of exploration companies like Georgina Energy.

Figure 12. Hydrogen production and associated CO2 emissions (Courtesy Australian Hydrogen market study Sector analysis summary, Australian Government, Advisian Pty Ltd. (Advisian) for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation; 24 May 2021)

A small portion of global Hydrogen resources have been identified in naturally occurring reservoirs where it is found with Helium and natural gas, this is type of geologic Hydrogen is known as White Hydrogen or Gold Hydrogen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_hydrogen). The source of this type of pure Hydrogen gas is formed by natural processes and is thought to be associated with doleritic sills, igneous rocks introduced into the reservoir via volcanic activity, and underground aquifers within the reservoir (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Volume 43, Issue 42, 18 October 2018, Pages 19315-19326). The introduction of radioisotopes into these reservoirs by igneous sills (or by naturally occurring radiogenic minerals such as Uranium and Thorium) results in the fracking of the water within the aquifers generating Hydrogen and introducing a Hydrogen gas charge into the reservoir. This process is a non-Hydrocarbon (non-fossil) source of Hydrogen gas with an estimated exploitation price that is significantly lower than any other manufactured source of the gas.

Such naturally occurring Hydrogen sources have been encountered at the Mt Kitty 1 well in the Amadeus Basin at concentrations up to 11% (ASX: CTP Central Petroleum Limited public announcement 31st October, 2018). The potential of similar occurrences at both the Mount Winter and Hussar prospects are being targeted by Georgina Energy.

The Australian government is a significant supporter for the production, use and export of Hydrogen, providing policy support and financial backing of several pilot and small-scale demonstration projects, some state governments are considering the addition of up to 10% Hydrogen into municipal gas networks.

Figure 13. Current Hydrogen projects in Australia May 2021 (Courtesy Australian Government, Geoscience Australia) https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/energy/resources/Hydrogen

In 2014 the Mt Kitty-1 well in the Amadeus Basin flowed gas from four separate flow intervals at a maximum flow rate of 0.53 MMcfd, with up to 11% Hydrogen gas by volume confirming a naturally occurring reservoir containing in-situ Hydrogen with other Hydrocarbons (Table 4). This extremely high Hydrogen content is potentially a secondary play in Georgina Energy's EPA 155 and STP-EPA-0186 in the Heavitree and Townsend quartzite reservoirs being targeted.

1.3. HYDROCARBON (GAS) MARKET

Demand for gas in Australia continues to rise for both domestic use and export as LNG. By 2020 gas-fired power generation had grown to account for 21 per cent of Australia's total electricity generation capacity (2020 Australian Energy Statistics, Government of Australia). Australian government policy considers gas a clean energy alternative to coal and oil and supports the expansion of gas production and utilisation in its carbon emissions reduction plans for the short term. Australia's significant developed gas reserves have made Australia the world's largest exporter of LNG, although this is not likely to continue for long https://www.arabnews.com/node/1869811/business-economy.

Current government supply and demand projections, inclusive of the effects of the Covid pandemic on the economy, predict a shortfall of gas supply which is likely to put upward pressure on gas pricing. Declining reserves in eastern Australian gas fields and forecast demand growth over the next 20 years predicts that Australia may need to start gas imports within the next 5 years to meet domestic demand as shown in the graph below (Figure 14).

Figure 14. Forecast gas demand for Australian east coast gas markets and mid-case projected gas production including export LNG (After AEMO Gas Statement of Opportunities For eastern and southeastern Australis March 2021)

The current, and ongoing, opposition to coal seam gas operations on the eastern seaboard, combined with state governments not renewing existing leases will continue to restrict gas supplies to east coast markets. Anticipated gas shortages are already putting upward pressures on domestic supply. In reaction to this and the projections in Figure 14 the federal government has declared support for inland pipelines to transport gas to the eastern seaboard. This has encouraged a renewed interest in central Australian basins which for decades have delivered encouraging results for the exploration and exploitation of natural gas, but remain underexplored frontier basins.

All indications from the available dataset suggest gaseous Hydrocarbons are potentially a valuable play within Georgina Energy's assets. Petroleum System 1 of Marshall (2003) and Marshall et al (2007) in the Amadeus Basin and its lateral equivalent in the Officer Basin is likely to be gas prone given the depth of burial of source rocks of the Bitter Springs and Browne formations respectively and Hydrocarbon shows in this petroleum system described in this report in the wells drilled to date.

Georgina Energy's forward plan for EPA 155 is to re-enter Mount Winter-1 and deepen the well by approximately 350m to a new TD of approximately 3000m and drill through the basal Heavitree Formation to basement to test Petroleum System 1.

In EP 513 Georgina Energy plan to drill through the lateral equivalent units in the western Officer Basin with a re-entry and deepening of the Hussar-1 well by approximately 1000m to a new TD of approximately 3200m and drill into basement to test the equivalent stratigraphy. Note, the current condition of the existing wells, well heads and associated casing will be thoroughly examined in situ before any re-entry is committed to.

1.4. BLUE ENERGY– GREEN HYDROGEN AND HELIUM POTENTIAL Georgina Energy's assets potentially contain large volumes of Hydrogen and Helium in a mix with gaseous Hydrocarbon and Nitrogen in the targeted prospects. On the basis of these volume estimates there is the potential to develop blue energy to power a gas separation plant from the Hydrocarbons with attendant blue Helium and Hydrogen opportunities.

Significant potential also lies in the proximal storage capacity potential of solution mined salt cavern storage for Helium, Hydrogen and Hydrocarbon gases. This factor may well simplify the logistics of getting production to market given the prodigious storage capacity of solution mined salt caverns, https://www.pv-magazine.com/2020/06/16/hydrogen-storage-in-saltcaverns/

The Hydrogen and Helium could be considered at least initially as "green" Hydrogen and Helium when brought to the surface but these gases will be part of a mix of gases consisting of Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Helium and Hydrocarbons. It is likely that a large proportion of the Hydrocarbons will be utilised as an energy source for the extraction of Helium and Hydrogen; however, because the resources are hosted by sandstones underlying significant thicknesses of salt, there are ample opportunities to capture any carbon dioxide produced during Helium and Hydrogen extraction in solution mined salt caverns. Solution mined salt caverns are increasingly being utilised for carbon capture in the United States and Europe.

This technology is well known and has been used for decades in the USA and Europe for storage of natural gas, strategic crude oil reservoirs and for Helium storage. Therefore, it is likely that a significant "blue" Hydrogen project or projects could be developed in Georgina Energy's project areas.

It is significant that although both Helium and Hydrogen are notoriously difficult to store and transport that both gases could be stored almost indefinitely in vast volumes in solution mined salt caverns in close proximity to the point of extraction and separation; an important factor in the logistics of supply, demand and transport to market.

Solution mined salt cavern technology is relatively straightforward. Salt caverns can be developed easily by solution mining; the process of drilling into the salt and injecting water and extracting saline water with dissolved salts.

Figure 15. Research Gate October 2018 https://eusalt.com/about-salt/salt-production/solution-minedsalt/ European Salt Producers: Solution Mined Salt. Such a mechanism allows for the recycling of a large proportion of water used to dissolve the salt within the salt dome.

1.5. DATA COVERAGE

This report is based on a review of documents and sub-surface data provided by Georgina Energy, relevant publicly available reports on the world wide web, and data made available by the Northern Territory Geological Survey https://nt.gov.au/industry/mining-andpetroleum/geoscience-data-maps and the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum https://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/Petroleum/Petroleum-248.aspx. Specific seismic and well data relevant to EPA 155 (Mount Winter Prospect) and STP-EPA-0186 (Hussar Prospect) was of focus and were reviewed in detail. Note: no SEGY seismic or digital well log interpretation/visualisation project was accessible for this assessment.

In the Amadeus Basin there is a reasonable dataset of relevance to this assessment. However, there has been only a limited number of wells drilled and relatively few kilometres of seismic acquired over the history of petroleum exploration across the basin given its large size of approximately 170,000 km2. Airborne magnetic & radiometric surveys have been acquired over the region over the years as a cost-effective method of covering large areas. These have been acquired on coarsely spaced survey grids generally only suitable for interpreting and understanding large gross basement structuring as used for the SEEBASE** project undertaken by Northern Territory government (Northern Territory Geological Survey) seen in Figure 16. And for planning the location of seismic acquisition projects. There is clearly large swathes of the basin with no subsurface data.

Figure 16. Amadeus Basin infrastructure & sub-surface dataset, including SEEBASE basement grid (modified after SEAPEX presentation-2017: D.R. Johns, S. A. Menpes, P. Walshe and F. Bache Santos Ltd.) ** Structurally Enhanced view of Economic Basement

In EPA 155 a 1981 vintage, sparse 2D seismic grid with line spacing of circa 3 km exists over much of the Mount Winter structure, quality is reasonable and coverage is adequate to map structural closure at the top Pre-Cambrian. Additional interpretation at a gross scale of the basement contours is available from Santos publications.

Figure 17. Mt Winter Closure Map (Courtesy John Heugh, The Mount Winter Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation; May 2020)

The western portion of the Officer Basin is almost twice the size of the Amadeus Basin with an area of approximately 310,000 km2, and although with possibly no less prospectivity, hydrocarbon exploration efforts thus far are yet to deliver a commercial discovery. This is possibly a consequence of the level of investment which has historically been significantly less than in the Amadeus Basin, less seismic has been acquired and fewer wells have been drilled (Figure 18). In the Western Australian portion of the Officer Basin only 13 exploration wells have targeted Hydrocarbons to date, an extremely low well density of one well per 23,000 km2, of these only two wells have penetrated basement through the subsalt basal quartzite target reservoirs within the entire Officer Basin of over 485,000 km2 and these across the border in South Australia

Figure 18. Western Officer Basin sub-surface dataset (Courtesy GSWA report 98, Simeonova and Laskey 2005)

Seismic coverage over the Hussar Prospect in STP-EPA-0186 is based on five seismic lines at over 5 km spacing. The structure has been mapped by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Simeonova and Lasky Seismic Mapping, Salt Deformation and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Central Western Officer Basin, Western Australia. GSWA Report 98, Simeonova and Lasky, Perth 2005).

Although there is a significant amount of data from previous work, the acquisition of additional modern 2D seismic data over both the Mount Winter and Hussar Prospects is recommended prior to the re-entry or re-drilling of the Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1 wells.

1.6. FORWARD PROGRAMME REVIEW

Georgina Energy's projects in EPA 155 and EP 513 aim to test two large structural closures with the potential to host multi TCF volumes of gaseous Hydrocarbons and significant volumes of Helium and Hydrogen; the Mount Winter Prospect and the Hussar Prospect. The work programmes proposed by the Company aim to de-risk the re-entry and deepening of previously drilled wells that have demonstrated a working petroleum system exists in the shallower geology directly above the primary pre-salt Heavitree and Townsend Quartzite Helium and Hydrogen reservoir targets.

Georgina Energy is planning to re-enter and deepen to basement to test for the presence of Hydrocarbons, Helium, and Hydrogen in the following wells:

    1. Mount Winter-1 in EPA 155 in the Amadeus Basin has a current TD of 2,650m, depth to basement is interpreted to be approximately 3,400m at the well location, an additional 750m of new hole is being planned assuming approximately 200m of salt is intersected in the new hole section on a base case scenario.
    1. Hussar-1 in EP 513 in the Officer Basin has a current TD of 2,040m, the new planned TD is 3,200m, an additional 1,160m of new hole is planned assuming approximately 400m of salt is present in the new section on a base case scenario.

Figure 19. Base case generalised well schematic for re-entry and deepening Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1 (Courtesy AJ Maynard Consulting; July 2020)

AJ Maynard Consulting have reviewed the existing wells, Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1, and have provided a re-entry programme and base case costings for Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgina Energy Plc.). On successful completion of the testing programme the wells can be completed as production wells (REPORT ON PLANNING AND COSTS TO RE-ENTER EXISTING WELLS GEORGINA, AMADAEUS AND OFFICER BASINS, ONSHORE AUSTRALIA FOR WESTMARKET OIL & GAS PTY LTD). Projected timelines and costs by Maynard are consistent with historical and recent drilling campaigns by operators in the Amadeus and Officer Basins.

Maynard's cost estimates are based on a minimum two well drilling campaign back-to-back and include evaluation using electric wireline logs and/or tested for flow and samples via a Drill Stem Test (DST). In a success case the wells could be completed with new casing, tubing and down-hole flow equipment, or suspended for future production.

Mount Winter Project Programme

Georgina Energy's programme in EPA 155 is focussed on better defining the basement structure and confirming the scale of structural closure in basement draped Heavitree and Gillen salt horizons at the Mount Winter Prospect location and includes the following:

  • x Acquire and reprocess existing seismic data from the Northern Territory Geological Survey.
  • x The acquisition of 75-line km of new modern 2D seismic.
  • x The acquisition of an airborne gravity survey with closely spaced lines of a maximum of 2.5 km.
  • x The interpretation and mapping of available and new geological and geophysical datasets.
  • x The re-entry and deepening of the Mount Winter-1 well.
  • x Test all potentially productive petroleum reservoirs encountered while drilling.
  • x On successful testing, complete the well as a Hydrocarbon, Helium, and/or Hydrogen production well.

The Mount Winter-1 re-entry proposal is a base case 48.5-day campaign estimated to cost AU\$ 5.5 million and includes a DST and completion as a production well on success (AJ Maynard Consulting).

Figure 20. Estimated base case operations plan for re-entry and deepening Mount Winter-1, detail activities breakdown is provided in the Maynard report (Courtesy AJ Maynard Consulting; July 2020)

Hussar Project Programme

In EP 513 it is not possible to image and map basement structuring on most of the existing datasets with confidence; neither the 2D seismic, nor airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data. Seismic data quality at depth is poor and coverage is not adequate over the Hussar Prospect. The AEM data is unable to image basement structures due to the influence of magnetic sediments in the shallower flat-lying Permian and Cretaceous cover which mask the deeper basement signal over the Hussar Prospect.

The existing 2018 GSWA Little Sandy Desert East Survey #71316, airborne gravity survey with flight line spacing of 2,500m at 1800, has not been interpretation over the Hussar Prospect. The Modelling of depth to basement is a valuable component of Georgina Energy's forward programme in STP-EPA-0186.

Prior to the acquisition of new modern 2D seismic or the Hussar-1 re-entry drilling campaign Georgina Energy propose to acquire an airborne audio electromagnetics survey using passive transient pulses (AEM-PTP). It is understood that "AEM-PTP technology measures a geophysical response to reduction and oxidation (REDOX) activity associated with upward fluid flow. This is often the result of outgassing from a hydrocarbon accumulation or in response to the upward flow of hydrothermal fluids" https://www.totaldepth.com.au/serviceslist/pinemont/

The technique may also assist in determining the integrity of any salt seal that may be present over the Hussar Prospect. AEM-PTP surveys flown at 18 km line spacing elsewhere in the basin have proven to be an effective method of outlining likely areas of hydrocarbon accumulations, and has well demonstrated its perceived effectiveness, subject to further seismic and drilling.

Subject to positive results from the acquisition and interpretation of an AEM-PTP survey, and modelling of depth to basement using the Little Sandy Desert East Survey airborne gravity dataset the acquisition of a 2D seismic survey with closer spacing than the current grid is recommended prior to any drilling.

Subject to encouragement from analysis and interpretation of the above datasets, a proposed Hussar-1 re-entry, base case, 50-day well campaign has been estimated to cost AU\$ 5.3 million. This cost estimate includes a DST and completion as a production well on success (AJ Maynard Consulting).

2. REGIONAL OVERVIEW AND RATIONALE Georgina Energy's EPA 155 sits on the northern margin of the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory and EP 513 is located in the western Officer Basin in Western Australia. These are large inland frontier basins that are remnants of the ancient Centralian Suparbasin, a very large, continent sized intracratonic sedimentary basin which extended over much of central, southern and western Australia during the Neoproterozoic Era (~830-540 Ma). The early geological history and evolution of these two basins is common to the Centralian Superbasin as during the Neoproterozoic the Amadeus and Officer Basins were not separately discernible from the Centralian Superbasin as a whole.

Both the Amadeus and Officer Basins contain a multitude of trap styles with the potential to hold multi-TCF volumes of gaseous Hydrocarbons, Helium, and Hydrogen within the pre-salt reservoirs that, in many basins globally, are considered to be some of the most prospective targets in the world as a consequence of salt's unique properties of being both ductile and an excellent thermal 'blanket' beneath which source rocks are able to mature into hydrocarbons as a consequence of increases of pressure and temperature over time. (PW Haines & HJ Allen, Record 2020/2, Geological Survey of Western Australia) Two wells, Magee 1 and Mt Kitty 1 encountered high concentrations of Helium at 6% and 9% respectively in the Amadeus pre-salt clastics and Mt Kitty recorded 11% Hydrogen with both wells also encountering hydrocarbons. (Heugh, 2020, The Hussar Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon and Helium Exploitation)

The combination of favourable geology, proven petroleum systems, and their significant potential has encouraged Georgina Energy to target this play within the Amadeus and Officer Basins. These pre-salt clastic sequences, the Heavitree and Townsend Quartzites, are Georgina Energy's primary reservoir targets for Hydrocarbons, Helium and Hydrogen in the Amadeus and Officer Basins.

Figure 22. Map of the Centralian Superbasin and component basins (modified after Munson et al., 2013), with generalized Neoproterozoic stratigraphy on the right indicating the position of the main Tonian sealing Tonian salt units and basal clastic targeted reservoirs known and inferred distribution of preserved subsurface salt in the Amadeus and Officer Basins is based on seismic data and drilling, where available, or extrapolated beyond, while possible occurrences in other basins are also indicated (Courtesy PW Haines and HJ Allen, World's oldest regional salt seal in the Amadeus and Officer Basins: implications for subsalt Helium and Hydrocarbons; GSWA 2020 extended abstracts.)

The Centralian Superbasin's early history was dominated by a long period of initial Tonian basal clastic sedimentation which produced the Heavitree and Townsend Quartzites (reservoirs) respectively within the Amadeus and Officer Basins. Following the deposition of the basal clastic reservoirs, the Centralian Superbasin was essentially a very large inland sea with periodic oceanic regression and transgression giving rise to the deposition of significant volumes of evaporitic halites (ie salt), carbonates, siltstones, sandstones and mudstones of the Bitter Springs Group in the Amadeus and the chronostratigraphic equivalent Buldya Group in the Officer Basin The regional salt seals in the Amadeus Basin are known as the Gillen Salt Formation and in the Officer Basin, the Upper and Lower salts of the Browne Formation. Both the Gillen Formation and the Browne Formation contain both sealing salt sequences and organically rich petroleum source rocks so that the underlying clastic reservoirs can be charged with not only Helium and Hydrogen but Hydrocarbons as well.

The breakup of the Centralian Superbasin resulting in its current configuration (Figure 22) of a series of remnant, very large, basins is the consequence of two periods of uplift and mountain building, starting in the latest Neoproterozoic; the Petermann orogeny (~550-535 Ma), and a second period during the middle Palaeozoic; Alice Springs Orogeny (~450-300 Ma).

Prior to the Petermann orogeny (~550-535 Ma) the Neoproterozoic successions within these basins are dominated by common tectonic styles and very similar (common) sedimentary successions broadly distributed across the Centralian Superbasin. These common successions have been grouped into four supersequence by Walter et al (1995) shown in Figure 22. This broadly distributed stratigraphy within today's remnant basins can be correlated over vast distances across both the Amadeus and Officer basins with confidence (Figure 23).

The lowermost and oldest Supersequence 1 comprises widely distributed thick basal clastic sandstones, the Heavitree and Townsend Quartiztes, overlain by a thick interval of carbonate, evaporites (salt), and fine-grained mudstones. The supersequence is widespread and recognised over most of the Centralian Superbasin and its subsequent remnants, such as the Amadeus and Officer basins. This Supersequence 1 succession averages 600–1000 m in thickness and exceeds 3000 m in some sub-basins (Walter et al 1995, Lindsay 2002).

Figure 23. Stratigraphic correlation of Supersequence 1 of the Centralian Superbasin across the Amadeus and Officer basins (Courtesy of WA DMIRS GSWA 2020 Extended Abstracts Haines & Allen pp10-13 PW Haines and HJ Allen, World's oldest regional salt seal in the Amadeus and Officer Basins: implications for subsalt Helium and Hydrocarbons; GSWA 2020 extended abstracts.)

A consequence of this shared evolutionary history is that most lithologies can be correlated across these basins with Hydrocarbon shows occurring in stratigraphic and lithological equivalents within the Amadeus and Officer Basins (Figure 23). This stratigraphy combined with well results confirm all the geological components of multiple petroleum systems are present within both basins.

Supersequence 1 has been further subdivided into recognisable sub-set groups, formations, and lithologies that can be correlated across the Amadeus and Officer basins as shown in Figure 23 (PW Haines and HJ Allen). The basal clastic unit immediately overlying Palaeo-Mesoproterozoic granitoid basement and itself immediately underlying the halites (salt formations) of the Bitter Springs Group is the Heavitree Quartzite in the Amadeus Basin, the equivalent units in the Officer Basin are halites (salt formations) within the Browne Formation and the Townsend Quartzite. The basal Heavitree Quartzite in the Amadeus and the basal Townsend Quartzite in the Officer Basin is described as being a well sorted medium to coarse grained sandstone and a pebbly quartzose to feldspathic arenite.

The quartzite nomenclature of the Heavitree (Northern Territory Amadeus), Dean (Western Australian Amadeus) and Townsend (Western Australian Officer Basin equivalent) Quartzites, is mostly a misnomer, porosities of the Heavitree Quartzite have been recorded for example as high as 9% in the Magee-1 well and in the Amadeus Basin it is generally regarded as being between 200 to 1,000m thick and consists locally of mudstone, sandstone and conglomerate with the dominant lithology being a very well sorted well rounded grain quartzose sandstone (John Heugh, The Mount Winter Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation May 2020). Name of report

This stratigraphy represents the first and lowermost petroleum system, 'Petroleum System 1', of five petroleum systems identified by Marshall (2003) and Marshall et al (2007) in the Amadeus Basin. Petroleum System 1 is the lowermost, least explored of the 5 petroleum systems and is comprised of the 'Gillen salt' seal and organic rich shale source rocks of the Bitter Springs Formation overlying the subsalt basal Heavitree Quartzite reservoir, in the Amadeus Basin. In its lateral stratigraphic equivalent to the west, it is comprised of the 'lower Browne salt seal and source rocks of the Browne Formation with the Townsend Quartzite reservoir, in the Officer Basin, Figure 23.

It is possible that additional Hydrocarbon, Helium and Hydrogen potential lies in the Gillen Formation immediately overlying the Heavitree Formation. Phillip S Plummer, reporting in the APPEA Journal 61(1) 236-252 Submitted: 16 November 2020 Accepted: 21 January 2021 Published: 2 July 2021 quotes "….seismic data reveal numerous intra-evaporite opportunities within the Gillen Formation that, seismically, are virtually indistinguishable from those being exploited in South Oman, suggesting that a Gillen Intra-Salt Petroleum System isa viable exploration target throughout a majority of the Amadeus Basin." https://doi.org/10.1071/AJ20040 The abnormally high-pressure gas encountered by the Dukas-1 well at TD of 3,700m, just above the pre-salt Heavitree target, may represent this Gillen Intra-Salt Petroleum System.

The Amadeus Basin, containing five petroleum systems, is highly prospective, potentially hosting large volumes of Hydrocarbons with high value Helium and Hydrogen gases. Two commercial oil/gas fields at Mereenie and Palm Valley, a commercial gas field at Dingo, and the underdeveloped Surprise oil discovery confirm the presence of economic Hydrocarbons in the Basin. Production from these fields continues today, by the end of 2020 approximately 18.6 million barrels of oil and 454 billion standard cubic feet (bscf) of gas have been produced from the Amadeus Basin. In 2020, 13.699 bscf of gas was produced from the basin comprising 9.207 bscf from Mereenie, 3.326 bscf from Palm Valley and 1.166 bscf from Dingo, 0.157 million barrels of oil was produced from the Mereenie field in 2020. https://resourcingtheterritory.nt.gov.au/oil-and-gas/onshore-petroleum-basins-in-thent/producing-basins.

Officer Basin exploration activity has been very limited to date. It is one of the least explored basins in Australia but has been shown to contain multiple petroleum systems with multiple Hydrocarbon shows across the limited wells drilled within the basin (Table 7). The stratigraphy is analogous to that of the Amadeus Basin and is interpreted to be westerly deposition of the same Amadeus Basin lithologies of early Neoproterozoic sedimentation in the Centralian Superbasin.

Although both basins contain proven petroleum systems, Georgina Energy's pre-salt reservoir target is barely explored within the Amadeus and Officer Basins, with only two wells targeting this play in the Amadeus, Mt Kitty-1 and Magee-1, while two wells have drilled through the salt into basement in the Officer Basin; Kutjara-1 and Mulyawara-1, both in the South Australian portion of the basin. All four wells have encountered some Hydrocarbons and the Mt Kitty well is currently suspended as a possible future gas producer. A third well targeting the pre-salt, Dukas-1, was spudded in 2019 and remains suspended without reaching the Heavitree Quartzite having encountered abnormally high-pressure gas at 3,700m, just above the primary target. Mud gas samples from the well indicate Hydrocarbons and inert gases are present, confirming an effective regional seal and working Hydrocarbon system. A re-entry or possible re-drill of the Dukas-1 well is currently being planned by the Santos/Central Joint Venture.

It is Georgina Energy's intention to expand this limited understanding of the pre-salt reservoirs through the re-entry and deepening of two existing wells, Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1, drilling through the Heavitree and Townsend Quartzites reservoirs into basement in the Amadeus and Officer Basins. The Company has identified two large structural closure beneath each of these wells that have not been tested as yet, the Mount Winter and Hussar Prospects.

2.1 EPA 155 (MT WINTER PROSPECT)

The Mount Winter Prospect is a large basement feature with an estimated aerial closure exceeding 13 km2 located within Georgina Energy's EPA 155 permit, and stratigraphically deeper than the current Mount Winter-1 well TD of 2,650m. Based on the available technical data, known analogues within the Amadeus Basin, and reasonable fundamentals the pre-salt Heavitree Quartzite reservoir within the prospect may potentially host unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resources (SPE PRMS) of c.148 BCFG (148 million MCF) of Helium and c.135 BCFG (135 million MCF) of Hydrogen, and c.1,220 BCFG of Hydrocarbons. Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

Figure 24. Stratigraphic Colum of the Amadeus Basin showing known Hydrocarbon occurrences.

Mount Winter-1, spudded on 29th November 1981 reaching its TD of 2,650m on 1stFebruary 1982 within halites of the Gillen Formation, was drilled by Pancontinental Petroleum Limited ("Pancon") after they had acquired and mapped a sparce (~3km) 2D seismic grid over the area in 1981 following the interpretation and mapping of an older 1966 vintage regional 2D seismic grid (Figure 25) which was acquired on the basis of previous work done by the BMR. In 1965 the BMR acquired an airborne magnetic & radiometric survey over the region having completed extensive geological mapping of the area in 1962.

Figure 25. EPA 155 area showing available dataset

Significantly, the Mount Winter-1 well did not target or drill through the pre-salt Heavitree Quartzite reservoir, instead targeting a much shallower, but large, closure at the base of the Pacoota Sandstone and at the top of the Precambrian, see Amadeus Basin stratigraphy in Figure 24. The well was drilled to assess the hydrocarbon potential of the Cambrian section, and to investigate the stratigraphic succession below the basal Cambrian unconformity (Pancontinental Petroleum Limited, Mt. Winter-1 Well Completion Report; June 1982).

The Mount Winter well drilled 252m of Early Ordovician siltstone, shale, sandstone and carbonate and 1233m of Cambrian sandstone, siltstone and shale which unconformably lay over more than 1165m of Late Proterozoic sandstone, siltstone, shale, dolomite and evaporites (salt) at its TD of 2,650m. The well did not discover any commercial quantities of Hydrocarbons although it did encounter significant oil shows in the basal Early Ordovician Stairway Sandstone, a 40m interval between 150m-190m, and in siltstone near the top of the late Proterozoic Bitter Springs Formation (Pancontinental Petroleum Limited, Mt. Winter-1 Well Completion Report; June 1982)

Importantly, at 2452m a salt formation was encounter which is interpreted to be regional salt units of the Gillen Formation within the Bitter Springs group, and thought to be close to the top of Georgina Energy's primary reservoir target, the pre-salt Heavitree Quartzite. The well continued drilling in this unit until reaching its TD of 2,650m, a total of 198m of salt. Prior to reaching the salt units of the Gillen Formation, the well encountered live oil shows in siltstones of the John's Creek Beds from 1,734m to 1,761m (27m in total) at the top of the Bitter Springs Group. These live oil shows included heavy black residual oil exhibiting yellow fluorescence and instant yellow to green cut, with gas up to C6 (hexane) also recorded across this same interval. These Hydrocarbon shows have been sourced in-situ from organic rich shales within the Bitter Springs Group and have likely accumulated within stringers of porosity in the John's Creek Beds. These shows were not tested by Pancon and may not have been adequately evaluated at the time.

In addition to the Mount Winter-1 well Pancon drilled a second well in 1985. Mount Winter-2 drilled to 142m but was stopped due to hole stability issues and was moved approximately 10m then re-spudded as Mount Winter-2A and drilled to a TD of 259m presumably chasing the initial oil shows in the basal Early Ordovician Stairway Sandstone encountered in Mount Winter-1, although little information is available on the second well (NTGS GEMIS Well Completion Report Mount Winter #2 & #2A Combined).

2.1 EP 513 (HUSSAR PROSPECT)

The Hussar Prospect is a very large basement feature with an estimated aerial closure of approximately 200 km2 located within Georgina Energy's EP 513 permit, and stratigraphically deeper than the current Hussar-1 well TD of 2,040m. Based on the available technical data, known analogues within the Amadeus Basin, and reasonable fundamentals the pre-salt Townsend Quartzite reservoir within the prospect may potentially host unrisked 2U Prospective (Recoverable) Resources (SPE PRMS) of c.155 BCFG (155 million MCF) of Helium and c.173 BCFG (173 million MCF) of Hydrogen, and c.1.75 TCFGE (Trillion Cubic Feet Equivalent) of Hydrocarbons. Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

Figure 26. Stratigraphic Table of the Officer Basin in Western Australia (GSWA Report 98, Simeonova & Lasky)

Hussar-1 was drilled by Eagle Corporation Limited, spudding on 24th September 1981 and reaching its TD of 2,040m on 9th December 1982 after becoming stuck at 1339m and being side-tracked around the fish. The well was planned as a stratigraphic test in the north-western part of the Officer Basin and was located on one regional 2D seismic line of 1980 vintage, given over 50km line spacing, and based on depth to basement mapping from available regional magnetic data. Later additional, but still widely spaced (5km plus), 2D seismic was acquire up to 1984 when the last survey was acquired, see Figure 27.

Figure 27. EP 513 area showing available dataset

Importantly, the Hussar-1 well did not target or drill through the pre-salt Heavitree Quartzite reservoir which overlay a granitoid basement, but instead reached its TD of 2,040m in a massive halite (salt) in the upper Browne Formation, the regional seal above the basal Townsend Quartzite reservoir being targeted by Georgina Energy.

High mud gas readings and trip gas was encountered across multiple zones wherever porosity was present during the drilling of the well. Gas chromatograph readings greater than 1,000 ppm were recorded over the intervals 1,140-1,258m and 1,200-1,222m. Bitumens in shales were identified in the core sample from 1,823.2m and probably in cuttings from 1,4110- 1,415m, 1,695- 1,600m and 1,650-1.655m. Log analysis over 1,138m to 1,195m showed 36- 40% water saturation (Swc) and so could contain hydrocarbons but Drill Stem Testing (DST) did not produce Hydrocarbons.

In 2004, interpretation and mapping of the entire regional 2D seismic dataset across the western Officer Basin of the near base Neoproterozoic by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Simeonova and Iasky) confirms a large elongate basement feature showing Hussar-1 was not drilled on a crestal location and may have been drilled off structure, out of closure, Figure 28.

Existing 1Vd based aeromagnetic data, even at 400m line spacing, is unable to image basement structuring across the western Officer Basin "over much of the Officer Basin the flatlying Permian and Cretaceous cover (in particular the Table Hill Volcanics) mask the deeper signal from Officer Basin. That is the case in the Hussar area". (John Heugh, The Mount Winter & Hussar Projects-Potential for Natural Gas Exploitation; October 2020)

The key component of Georgina Energy's Hydrocarbon, Helium and Hydrogen play is shown in the Figure 29 schematic, thick Neoproterozoic evaporites taking up tectonic deformation and maintaining a seal over underlying Hydrocarbon accumulations that include Helium and Hydrogen in basal clastics as appears to be the case at the Magee, Mt Kitty, and possibly Dukas gas accumulations.

At the Mount Winter and Hussar locations, overlying Neoproterozoic salt formations have been intersected by the Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1 wells and are anticipated to extend across these structures in reasonable concentrations in order to seal any possible Helium, Hydrogen and Hydrocarbons within basal clastic reservoir units. These evaporites need to be competent over the long geological periods necessary for Helium and Hydrogen to be generated by the decay of radiogenic minerals in volcanic sills and basement granitoids in the case of Helium and via the effect on water molecules by such radiation in the case of Hydrogen.

No one at Al Maynard (the Competent Person), or any director of Georgina Energy plc nor any promoter has any current or past financial interest in the Mount Winter Prospect or the Hussar Prospect.

3. VOLUMETRIC ASSESMENT

A technical assessment and calculation of estimated potential Hydrocarbon resource quantities within an area of interest requires an assessment of various parameters, some have been measured at a specific location and some in close proximity to the specific area of interest, and often some parameters can only be provided from measurements made further afield. When specific areas of interest are located in under-explored locations where data is limited and sparce the only source of applicable parameters to calculate estimates of resource quantities is from analogue locations at a significant distance from a specific area of interest. The following table summarises the estimated potential resource quantities following the technical assessment outlined in this report, with the parameters that follow, specifically using a deterministic methodology.

Some volumetric parameters used in the potential resource estimate calculations have been measured at considerable distances from the Mount Winter and Hussar Prospects. It is reasonable to apply these as a consequence of the common early evolution of the Amadeus, and Officer Basins within the Centralian Superbasin. These basins are related by age, common tectonic styles, and closely comparable sedimentary successions. (Munson TJ, Kruse PD and Ahmad M, 2013. Chapter 22: Centralian Superbasin: in Ahmad M and Munson TJ (compilers). 'Geology and mineral resources of the Northern Territory'. Northern Territory Geological Survey, Special Publication 5). The following table summarises the estimated Recoverable Resources of Helium, Hydrogen, and Hydrocarbons that are available for exploitation within acreage held by Georgina Energy (Table 8.).

The following formula and parameters were used to calculate estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources [PRR] of Helium, Hydrogen, and Hydrocarbons for the Mount Winter and Hussar prospects within EPA 155 and EP 513 respectively.

PRR He or H2 = GIIP x R x [for %He or %H2] x (Georgina Licence Interest %) PRR Hydrocarbons = GIIP x R x (100 – (%He + %H2 + %N2)) x (Georgina Licence Interest %) GIIP= 43,560 x A x h x Φ x (1-Swc) x GEF

Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

EPA 155 (MT WINTER PROSPECT)

The Mount Winter Prospect is a large structural closure with an apparent aerial extent estimated at over 13 km2. The results of Mount Winter-1, Magee-1, Mt Kitty-1, and Dukas-1 have been encouraging and notable in highlighting the pre-salt Heavitree Quartzite play for Hydrocarbons, Helium, and Hydrogen The stratigraphy of the Amadeus Basin as summarised in Figure 30, with the results of key wells drilled in the basin to date.

Western Australian stratigraphy is compared with the northern Amadeus Basin stratigraphy of the Northern Territory. Source rock intervals are based on Northern Territory data. Exploration drilling is restricted to the Northern Territory (Modified after Government of Western Australia Department of Mines and Petroleum, Western Australia's Petroleum and Geothermal Explorer's Guide – 2014 EDITION)

The values of parameters used to calculate volume estimates for Georgina Energy's Mount Winter Prospect are based on the available technical data, known analogues within the Amadeus Basin and reasonable fundamentals.

Area Acres (A)

The Mount Winter-1 Well Completion Report (WCR) Enclosure #1 provides a depth structure map at the top of the Pre-Cambrian, top of the Proterozoic Areyonga Formation in the well, based on the interpretation of the seismic dataset over the structure. This top of the Pre-Cambrian map (Figure 31) shows an East-West elongated double anticline with four-way dip closure truncated to the North and South by two East West trending reverse faults. The map has been tied to the Mount Winter-1 well intersect of the top of the Proterozoic Areyonga Formation at a depth of 1,485m measured depth. It is interpreted that the stratigraphy within Supersequence 1 is expected to be generally conformable and hence the projection of the structure at the top of the Proterozoic onto the top of the Heavitree Quartzite reservoir target provides reasonable Base Case estimates for area in our calculation. SEEBASE (Structurally Enhanced view of Economic Basement) imagery over the Mount Winter location confirms the presence of a large basement structure beneath mapped Pre-Cambrian closure located on a regional intra-basin feature known as the Central Ridge.

Seismic interpretation and mapping conducted by Central Petroleum Limited (CPL), operator of the EP 115 permit which surrounds EPA 155, suggests the Mount Winter basement contour area to be significantly larger than the top Pre-Cambrian structure illustrated in Figure 30, as interpreted by CPL the structure broadens considerable at depth below the Pre-Cambrian and is an extension to a significantly larger feature identified as Zevon by CPL, Figure 32.

Height ft. (h)

This is an estimate of the potential thickness of the Heavitree Quartzite reservoir that may be intersected by the deepening or re-drilling of the Mount Winter-1 Well as proposed by the Company. The average thickness of the quartzite and its equivalents within the Amadeus was estimated to be in the range 100–300m (Lindsay 1999), however, in the same paper, produced an isopach contour map of the subsalt Heavitree Quartzite target reservoir in the Amadeus Basin showing the prognosed thickness of the Heavitree at Mount Winter as being over 600m. Santos also presented the same isopach map in 2015 (Figure 33). The range of height estimates for our calculation can be discerned through possible adjustments of the Isopach map and thickness ranges of the Heavitree Quartzite where exposed at the surface on the basin fringes.

Porosity (Φ)

The only reported measurement of drilled porosity of the Heavitree Quartzite reservoir was in the Magee-1 well located approximately 325 kilometres to the southeast, the only well to have drilled through and tested the Heavitree to date, reporting porosities of up to 9% (Pacific Oil & Gas Pty. Limited, Magee-1 WCR; November 1992). In Mt Kitty-1 the Heavitree Quartzite reservoir was missing but Hydrocarbons and the Helium were hosted by fracted basement granite. Most reservoirs at this depth, over millions of years, are likely to be affected by longterm diagenetic silicification, hence 9% porosity was used at the upper end (3U) of the range for porosity.

Water Saturation (Swc)

The range of water saturation estimates for the prospect are based on log analysis from wells that have encountered Hydrocarbon shows above the Heavitree Quartzite reservoir. Log analysis over the interval 1,138m to 1,195m over the Browne formation in the Hussar-1 well showed 36-40% water saturation. (Eagle Corporation Limited, Hussar-1 WCR; March 1982)

Gas Expansion Factor (GEF)

This factor is well understood and can be calculated by looking at the local pressure and temperature gradient discernible for existing wells in the basin and extrapolating to the prognosed depth to target using a hydrostatic gradient. The GEF used is constant given a circa 1% range above and below the Best Estimate (2U) of GEF, when using the gas composition, and temperature and pressure estimates from distant reference wells to calculate GEF.

Recovery (% R)

Recover factors have been estimated from analogue fields elsewhere in the basin and in other basins where there is often a production history.

Helium Content (% He) & Hydrogen Content (% H2)

Helium has been measured in four wells within the Amadeus Basin, with particularly high concentrations at Mt Kitty-1 (9%) and Magee-1 (6.2%), Hydrogen concentration in Mt Kitty-1 was 11%, see Table 6.

Using the parameters defined above, the current estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of Helium, Hydrogen & Hydrocarbons for the Mount Winter Prospect are summarised in Table 10.

EP 513 (HUSSAR PROSPECT)

The Hussar Prospect is a very large structural closure with an apparent aerial extent estimated at approximately 200 km2. Hydrocarbon shows in the Hussar-1 well at TD, immediately above the pre-salt Townsend Quartzite reservoir target, confirm the presence of an active petroleum system at this level warranting further evaluation.

The parameters used to calculate volume estimates for Georgina Energy's Hussar Prospect are based on the available technical data, known analogues within the Amadeus Basin and the Officer Basin and reasonable fundamentals.

Area Acres (A)

Mapping of the Hussar prospect by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (Simeonova and Iasky) at both the Top Hussar Formation and base Neoprotoerozic level confirms a large elongate feature and shows that the Hussar-1 well may not have been drilled in an optimal crestal location. Although a sparce seismic grid, it provides a view on the aerial extent of the Hussar structure at depth and a depth to basement of approximately 3,200m (Figure 34).

Figure 34. Local 2D Seismic Grid, Top Hussar Formation (left), and base Neoprotoerozic (right) maps (Courtesy Simeonova & Lasky, GSWA Report 98, 2005)

Height ft. (h)

This is an estimate of the potential thickness of the Townsend Quartzite reservoir that may be intersected by the deepening or re-drilling of the Hussar-1 Well as proposed by the Company. Outcrop mapping in the basin has recorded thicknesses of up to 370m (John Heugh, The Hussar Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation; May 2020), however a conservative 100m (328 ft) thickness for the basal Townsend Quartzite has been prognosed at the 2U resource level with a 50% reduction at 1U and a doubling thickness prognosed at 3U given thickness variability of the Townsend across the Officer Basin.

Porosity (Φ)

A reported measurement of porosity that is applicable to the Townsend Quartzite reservoir is its equivalent within the Amadeus Basin; the Heavitree Quartzite reservoir where it was intersected in the Magee-1 well located approximately 1100km east of the Hussar structure, reporting a porosity of up to 9% (Pacific Oil & Gas Pty. Limited, Magee-1 WCR; November 1992).

Only two wells in the Officer Basin have penetrated the subsalt Townsenad Quartzite to basement; Kutjara-1 and Mulyawara-1, both located approximately 900km southeast of Hussar-1in South Australia. Porosity in these wells ranged from 5-30% on raw uncorrected CNL logs and in the Kutjara-1 well, Total Gas units recorded ranged up to 10,000 units. (Heugh May 2020, The Hussar Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation and Well Completion Reports Katjara-1 (2011 Rodinia Oil) and Mulyawara-1 (2011 Rodinia Oil) Courtesy of the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining) http://www.energymining.sa.gov.au/

However, the Townsend Quartzite target in the Hussar prospect is significantly deeper than at Kutjara-1 and Mulyawara-1 and so is likely to be more affected by long-term diagenetic silicification resulting in reduced effective porosity.

Water Saturation (Swc)

Log analysis over the interval 1,138m to 1,195m over the Browne formation in the Hussar-1 well showed 36-40% water saturation. (Eagle Corporation Limited, Hussar-1 WCR; March 1982) Estimates used for Swc have been adjusted for the deeper Townsend Quartzite reservoir target.

Gas Expansion Factor (GEF)

This factor is well understood and can be calculated by looking at the local temperature pressure gradient discernible for existing wells in the basin and extrapolating to the prognosed depth to target using a hydrostatic gradient. The GEF used is constant given a circa 1% range above and below the Best Estimate (2U) of GEF, when using the gas composition, and temperature and pressure estimates from distant reference wells to calculate GEF.

Recovery (% R)

Recover factors have been estimated from analogue fields elsewhere in the basin and in other basins where there is a production history.

Helium Content (% He) & Hydrogen Content (% H2)

Helium has been measured in four wells within the Amadeus Basin, with particularly high concentrations at Mt Kitty-1 (9%) and Magee-1 (6.2%), Hydrogen concentration in MT Kitty-1 was 11%, see Table 6.

Using the parameters defined above, the current estimates of the Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of Helium, Hydrogen & Hydrocarbons for the Hussar Prospect are summarised in Table 12.

Unrisked Prospective (Recoverable) Resources Units 1U 2U 3U
Helium BCFG 6.2 155 2,047
Hydrogen BCFG 1.4 173 2,501
Gas BCFG 100 1,750 13,000

Note: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable Hydrocarbons.

As noted in relation to the additional potential in the Gillen Formation in the Amadeus Basin as reported by Phillip S Plummer (previously referenced above), the Browne Formation in the Officer Basin is regarded as being equivalent to the Gillen Salt Formation in the Amadeus Basin and so may offer additional potential in Hydrocarbons, Helium & Hydrogen.

4. COMMERCIALISATION Georgina Energy have reviewed options for the possible commercialisation of any successfully discovered and proven reserves of Helium and/or Hydrogen and/or Hydrocarbons. Although Georgina's strategy is to sell all gases at the wellhead to an industry partner of some significant stature, the key issue for the monetisation of any successful discovery is transport to market of any of these products. A large gaseous Hydrocarbon discovery can potentially be transported to market via construction of a pipeline spur to connect to the closest point on the National gas pipeline network (Figure 35).

Figure 35. Major pipeline systems of Australia, pipelines and gas-producing basins are colour coded. (Courtesy APGA; 2020) for a full-scale image with pipeline legend noting specific details of the national pipeline grid see https://www.apga.org.au/pipeline-information-users

Any separation plant designed to separate Hydrocarbons from inert gases and to produce Helium and/or Hydrogen will use a significant volume of associated Hydrocarbons to provide energy to such a plant or plants, however, a commercial discovery of any of these gases is likely to include sufficient Hydrocarbons to power such plants. Gaseous hydrocarbons remaining after the requisite energy consumption of a separation plant could be piped to market via the construction of a spur line connect to the closest point on the National gas pipeline grid.

Based on the composition of gases tested at Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1, (the only two wells to have penetrated the pre-salt reservoirs targeted by the Company), it would be reasonable to assume that a commercial discovery of gaseous Hydrocarbons is likely to include commercial quantities of Helium and possibly Hydrogen, the assumption being that these two wells are appropriate analogues for the Mount Winter and Hussar Prospects. These gases will require separation, extraction and liquification (for Helium and Hydrogen on-site from which liquid product can be transported by tankers to domestic markets, and containers for international shipments.

The processing, and hence transportation options, for gaseous Hydrocarbons will be highly dependent on the scale of any commercial discovery. A large natural gas resource is most likely best transported to markets via a pipeline, while a smaller possibly marginal gas resource may be economically developed using a mini-LNG plant, given the high concentrations of Helium present in our analogues, see Figure 36. Comparative economics and feasibility studies can be conducted post drilling success.

The nearest pipeline connection point to the Mount Winter Prospect is approximately 150 km to the east at the end of the Mereenie gas pipeline which interconnects with the main Alice Springs to Darwin gas pipeline, from here hydrocarbon gas can access the Eastern gas market, subject to capacity constraints. A 6" c.150 km gas pipeline connection to Mereenie has been estimated to cost in the order of AU\$45 million by Georgina Energy. (John Heugh, The Mount Winter Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation; May 2020)

The closest connection point to the national pipeline network for the hussar Prospect is approximately 300 km to the southwest at the end of the 8 TJ/day (c. 8 MMCFGD) Yamarna gas pipeline at the Gruyere mine site operated by Gold Road Resources. The estimated cost for a 6" pipeline to connect to the end of the Yamarna pipeline has been estimated to cost approximately AU\$90 million by the Company. (John Heugh, The Hussar Project-Potential for Hydrocarbon & Helium Exploitation; May 2020)

On 14th April 2010 Central Petroleum Limited issued an ASX announcement++ that included an extensive pre-feasibility study on the potential commercial exploitation of Hydrocarbons and Helium from the sub-salt Heavitree Quartzite reservoir at the Mt Kitty and Mageeprospects in the Amadeus Basin using the gas compositions recorded in the Magee-1 Heavitree well intersection, since confirmed by results from the Mt Kitty-1 well drilled in 2014.This report, Preliminary Pre-feasibility Study on Low Volume Commercial Extraction of Helium for Central Petroleum Limited by Dr Duncan Seddon and Dr Mike Clarke of Seddon and Associates Pty Ltd and METTS Pty Ltd, focussed on in-situ separation and extraction in the field of Hydrocarbons and Helium into a series of value-added products delivered to markets by tankers. Today the model envisioned by the 2010 study can be delivered via a modular mini-LNG plant, example schematic in Figure 36, with an associated modular Helium liquification plant, at lower comparative costs.

The key conclusions from the 2010 study based on a 20 MMCFGD production profile are:

  • x Plant costs estimated at AU\$420 million (AU\$588 million in 2023 dollars**)
  • x Pre-tax annual revenue of AU\$98 to143 million (AU\$137 to 200 million in 2023 dollars)
  • x Project NPV at 8% discount rate, between AU\$111 to 556 million (AU\$155 to 778 million in 2023 dollars)
  • x 30% CAPEX savings on components manufactured in SE Asia instead of USA;

** 2020 dollars are adjusted for inflation via the Reserve Bank of Australia calculator https://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/annualDecimal.html

An update to the 2010 pre-feasibility study using the same modelled production profile (20 MMCFGD) will likely deliver improved economics given CAPEX savings delivered through the application of today's mini-LNG plant technology in combination with significant real (above inflation) increases in the price of Helium, and gaseous Hydrocarbons as summarised in this report. The addition of Hydrogen to the production stream, given the high concentration of Hydrogen encountered at Mt Kitty-1, (11% by volume), has the potential to improve the return on potential theoretical investment even further.

An understanding of the gas composition of any successful sub-salt reservoir discovery and the size of the resources discovered and any subsequent conversion to reserves for the Mount Winter and Hussar Prospects is necessary to better understand the options for possible commercial exploitation of any gases that may be hosted in the pre-salt reservoirs targeted by the Company.

The ongoing, and projected, increases in global demand for Helium (Figure 37), Hydrogen, and Hydrocarbons continue to support significant price increases for these gases. This is expected to lower the commercial threshold for the development of any proven resources. Supply/demand projections for Helium, Hydrogen, and Hydrocarbon markets are covered in detail in the Introduction of this report.

Figure 37. Helium supply versus demand data from US Geological Survey, 2005-2027 (Courtesy of Proactive Research; May 2021)

Following Georgina Energy's review of the available options to commercialise a proven discovery the Company has stated that it is not the intention of the company to export any Hydrocarbons, Helium, or Hydrogen but to sell the products at the wellhead to industry leading product supply companies such as BOC/Linde, leaving the design, installation and commissioning of appropriate plant and facilities for the separation and extraction of Nitrogen/Hydrocarbon/Helium/Hydrogen.

Preliminary enquiries by Georgina Energy indicate that there is strong interest from various international and domestic suppliers of these gases in the purchase of all product at wellhead with such suppliers taking on the task of separation, extraction, liquefaction and containerisation of the various product lines potentially available.

5. PETROLEUM RESOURCES DEFINITIONS

The estimation of Prospective (Recoverable) Resources within this report are unrisked and attempt to quantify all quantities of Hydrocarbons that are estimated to exist 'in the ground' within the target of interest that are yet to be discovered and with an estimate of what portion of these quantities may potentially be recovered.

The estimates presented here have been determined utilising the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS) 2018 and 2011 (Guideline) principals. To allow comparisons between projects within the reviewed portfolio, and comparisons with projects outside of the reviewed portfolio, standard PRMS terminology for the classification of undiscovered resources is utilised in this report, presenting resource estimates as low 1U (P90), 2U for best estimate (P50), and as 3U for high estimate (P10) of as-yet undiscovered volumes.

The PRMS resource classification system graphically presented excerpt is provided below (Figure 38) for reference from the Petroleum Resource Management System (revised June 2018) report. All parameters of this classification system are covered in detail within the PRMS report and should be referenced for a thorough understanding of the estimates presented in this CPR. The complete Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS) document can be downloaded from https://www.spe.org/en/industry/reserves/

Figure 38. SPE resource classification framework. (Courtesy SPE, Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS); revised June 2018)

Prospective Resources are defined by the SPE as "those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both an associated chance of geological discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are further categorized in accordance with the range of uncertainty associated with recoverable estimates, assuming discovery and development, and may be sub-classified based on project maturity."

6. GEOLOGIC RISK

The estimated prospective resources presented in this report represent a range of potential recoverable volumes if an accumulation is discovered in the structures identified by Georgina Energy, and then developed by the company.

There is no certainty that any of these resources will be discovered, and there is no certainty that a discovered resource will be commercially viable to develop, once discovered. The technical feasibility to develop any discovered resources must be assessed under the economic conditions post the time of discovery when further parameters pertinent to a commerciality decision are available. Hence, development risk for these Prospective Resources has not been addressed in this report, no economic assessment of the presented volumes has been made.

Helium and Hydrogen accumulations are found in conventional traps within which Hydrocarbon accumulations are also found, in most circumstances they are found in various ratios within the same trap (as demonstrated in the Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1 wells). Hence the same risk factors as defined in the SPE-PRMS can be assessed for all three gases to assess the Chance of Geologic Discovery (Pg) being made within Georgina Energy's assets. Pg presented here is the estimated probability of discovering an accumulation of moveable gases, those gases assessed in this report. The Pg for conventional, and the reservoirs discussed in this report, is calculated through the evaluation of four independent risk factor summarised in the following table.

GEOLOGICAL RISK FACTOR DEFINITIONS
Source Probability that a lithology [or source fluid] exists of sufficient quantity and
quality of thermally mature matter to have expelled Hydrocarbons
[Helium/Hydrogen] which could have migrated to the reservoir.
Timing & Migration Probability that a source rock [or source fluid] expelled Hydrocarbons
[Helium/Hydrogen] after the reservoir and trap were in place, and a flow path
existed between source and reservoir, and that those Hydrocarbons
[Helium/Hydrogen] can be tested to the surface.
Trap & Seal Probability of adequate vertical and lateral seals existing to confine
Hydrocarbons [Helium/Hydrogen] in adjacent reservoir rocks.
Reservoir Probability that a lithology exists with porosity, permeability and continuity to
contain moveable Hydrocarbons [Helium/Hydrogen].
Risk Factor
(Chance of
Geologic Discovery)
The chance or probability of discovering Hydrocarbons [Helium/Hydrogen] in
sufficient quantity for them to be tested to the surface.
= (Source) X (Timing, Migration, Quality) X (Trap & Seal) X (Reservoir)

Table 14. Geological Risk Factors

The risk factors in Table 14 have been assessed for the Mount Winter and Hussar prospects independently and for each of the gases, Helium, Hydrogen, and Hydrocarbons presented in this report.

There is uncertainty for some of these parameters at the prospect locations beneath the Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1 wells proposed to be deepened. However, as presented in this report there is offset data that can help constrain some of these risk parameters.

The Heavitree Quartzite in Mount Winter-1 and its lateral equivalent, the Townsend Quartzite in Hussar-1 are risked as the same play belonging to the one super sequence deposited into the Centralian Superbasin which predates both the Amadeus and Officer Basins.

Table 15. Geological Risk Factors for EP 155 and EP 513.

Source All three gases have been tested within the Heavitree Quartzite in the Amadeus Basin, in addition Hydrocarbons were intersected within the Bitter Springs Fm sealing unit immediately above the Heavitree towards the bottom of the Mount Winter-1 well and in the Hussar Formation above the Townsend Quartzite in the Hussar-1 well. A Hydrogen source is of higher risk as of the two wells that have intersected the Heavitree one did not find Hydrogen. Source risk is lower for Hydrocarbons having been intersect at both Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1. The significant distance of the Hussar Prospect from the reference wells, Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1, increases the source risk at Hussar relative to the Mount Winter Prospect.

Timing & Migration The Heavitree and Townsend targets are parts of the deepest and oldest units that are then covered by thick robust salt seals in the Amadeus and Officer Basins. There has been plenty of time for the generation of all three gases and the opportunity for these gases to migrate into traps, as tested at Magee-1, Mount Winter-1, and the testing of Hydrocarbons above the Heavitree in Dukas-1 and Mount Winter-1 itself and above the Townsend at Hussar-1. The significant distance of the Hussar Prospect from the reference wells, Magee-1 and Mt Kitty-1, increases the Timing & Migration risk for Helium and Hydrogen at Hussar relative to the Mount Winter Prospect.

Trap & Seal A basement structural high is evident on the available seismic and the sampling of Hydrocarbons towards the bottom of both the Mount Winter-1 and Hussar-1 wells confirms a better than even chance of a Trap and Seal being present at both prospects.

Reservoir The highest risk factor at 0.5 is the presence of a net reservoir of the prognosed thickness at both Prospects. Exposure of the Heavitree on the basin margins shows it to be hundreds on meters thick (Phil Plummer, Santos; 2015). Lindsay (1999), produced an isopach contour map of the subsalt Heavitree Quartzite target reservoir in the Amadeus Basin showing the prognosed thickness of the Heavitree at Mount Winter as being over 600m. However, at Magee- 1, postulated to be a very old basement high, the Heavitree is 6.3m thick with only 4.5m of clean arenite (Santos Mt Kitty-1 WCR 2014). No Heavitree reservoir was intersected at Mt Kitty-1, however, very high concentrations of Helium, Hydrogen, and some Hydrocarbons were sampled in fractured granodiorite basement intersected at TD demonstrating the potential of fractured reservoir irrespective of the rock type.

NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING (GM)

Entitlement to Attend and Vote at the GM

  1. The Company specifies that only those members registered on the Company's register of members at 6:00 p.m. (London time) on 25 July 2024 or if this general meeting is adjourned, at 6:00 p.m. on the day two business days prior to the adjourned meeting shall be entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting.

Proxy Voting – General

    1. If you are a Shareholder of the Company at the time set out in Note 1 above, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting. You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes. You can appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy or another person of your choice. Your proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you.
    1. You may appoint more than one proxy provided each proxy is appointed to exercise rights attached to different shares. You may not appoint more than one proxy to exercise rights attached to any one share.
    1. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
    1. Appointment of a proxy does not preclude you from attending the general meeting and voting in person. If you do vote in person at the meeting, that vote will override any votes previously submitted in respect of those shares.
    1. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against a resolution. If you do not select a voting option, your proxy may vote or abstain from voting at their discretion.

Proxy Voting – Procedures

    1. To be valid proxy votes must be received by 9:00 a.m. on 25 July 2024, or if the meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the adjourned meeting (Proxy Vote Closing Time).

    2. Tel: +44 (0) 0121 585 1131. Lines are open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (UK time) Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England and Wales).
    3. Address: Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen B62 8HD, United Kingdom.
    4. Email: [email protected]
    1. You may lodge your proxy vote in one of the following ways:
    2. To vote by post, please follow the instructions in Notes 10 and 11.
    3. To vote electronically, please follow the instructions in Note 12.
    4. CREST members may vote using the CREST system. Please follow the instructions in Notes 13 to 16.
    1. Hard copy proxies must be completed in accordance with the instructions printed on them and returned to the Company's Registrars, Neville Registrars Limited, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen B62 8HD, United Kingdom (together with any necessary authority documentation) to be received no later than the Proxy Vote Closing Time. The power of attorney or other written authority, if any, under which it is signed or an office or notarially certified copy or a copy certified in accordance with the Powers of Attorney Act 1971 of such power and written authority, must be delivered with the completed proxy form.
    1. If you need a replacement hard proxy copy form, you may request this directly from the Company's Registrars. Please see the Registrar's contact details in Note 8.
    1. As an alternative to submitting a hard copy proxy form, you may submit your proxy electronically with the Company's Registrars by visiting www.sharegateway.co.uk and using the shareholder's personal proxy registration code as shown on the proxy form. For an electronic proxy appointment to be valid, your appointment must be received by Neville Registrars Limited no later than 48 hours (excluding any part of a day that is not a working day) before the time of the meeting (the Proxy Voting Closing Time) (or any adjournment thereof).
    1. CREST members may vote by utilising the CREST electronic proxy appointment service in accordance with the procedures set out below.
    1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Meeting (and any adjournment of the Meeting) by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (available from www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
    1. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a 'CREST Proxy Instruction') must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent Neville Registrars (whose CREST ID is 7RA11) by the Proxy Vote Closing Time. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to mean the time (as determined by

the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST application host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

  1. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Proxy Voting – Changes and Revocations

    1. To change your proxy instructions simply submit a new proxy appointment using the methods set out above. Note that the cut-off time for receipt of proxy appointments (see above) also applies in relation to amended instructions; any amended proxy appointment received after the relevant cut-off time will be disregarded. Where you have appointed a proxy using the hard-copy proxy form and would like to change the instructions using another hard-copy proxy form, please contact Neville Registrars using the contact details in Note 8 above. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
    1. In order to revoke a proxy instruction you will need to inform the Company. You must telephone the Registrar using the contact details in Note 8 above. In the case of a member which is a company, the revocation notice must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an officer of the company or an attorney for the company. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which the revocation notice is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with the revocation notice. The revocation notice must be received by the Registrar no later than the Proxy Vote Closing Time. If you attempt to revoke your proxy appointment but the revocation is received after the time specified then, subject to Note 5 above, your proxy appointment will remain valid.

Corporate Representatives

    1. A corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise, on its behalf, all its powers as a member provided that no more than one corporate representative exercises power over the same share.
    1. Corporate representatives must produce a signed corporate representative letter from the shareholder in suitable form at the GM together with photographic identification to verify they are the representative referred to in the letter.

Share Capital

  1. As at the close of business on the day immediately before the date of this Notice of General Meeting, the Company's issued share capital comprised 32,049,999 ordinary shares of nominal value £0.01 each. No shares are held in the Treasury. Each ordinary share carries the right to one vote at a general meeting of the Company and, therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at close of business, on the day immediately before the date of this Notice of General Meeting was 32,049,999 ordinary shares of nominal value £0.01.
