  • LF-07 successfully drilled, commissioned and producing gas

  • Total gas production increasing with good water rates

  • 2025 exploration program commenced with drilling underway

  • Further funding secured via a $3.5 million oversubscribed placement

TMK Energy Limited (ASX:TMK) (TMK or the Company) is pleased to provide the following quarterly activities report for the three months ending 30 September 2025 (“Quarter”).

Mr Dougal Ferguson, TMK Energy’s Chief Executive Officer commented:

“We continue to rapidly progress our 100% owned Gurvantes XXXV Coal Seam Gas project, with an additional pilot well (LF-07) safely and successfully drilled, the 2025 exploration program commenced and implementation of a revised reservoir management plan.

Another key objective this quarter was to secure the resources to allow us to continue to rapidly advance the Project. With an additional $3.5 million of funding secured and key technical appointments made, we now have the operational, engineering and sub-surface skillsets in place that will allow us to accelerate other activities, including the introduction of a Project partner and the commencement of detailed field development plans.”

Executive Summary

Field activities during the Quarter included completing the drilling of LF-07 and bringing that well on production, maximising production from existing wells LF-01 to LF-06 and planning for and commencing the 2025 exploration drilling program.

Operationally, the Pilot Well Project continues to perform in line with expectations, with a significant amount of work being put into better understanding the reservoir performance and managing the wells accordingly to maximise production.

In addition to the field activities, the Company successfully completed an oversubscribed capital raising of approximately $3.5 million (before costs) through a placement of shares to sophisticated and professional investors, which included strong participation from existing shareholders and the Board.

A key objective this Quarter has been to add to the Company’s technical and operational

capability, with several key appointments being made to the team.

The key appointments include a highly experienced Operations Superintendent who will be based at the Pilot Well Project in Mongolia from early November, as well as a highly experienced Texas based CSG reservoir engineer who is also based part time in Mongolia. In addition, the Company has hired a senior Geoscientist who has joined in an advisory role to support the exploration efforts and subsurface planning.

The Company also entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Beijing-based J- Energy to assist with field development planning, project execution, and logistics, with a strong focus of the agreement being assisting the Company in its partnering efforts. Initial work has commenced pursuant to this Strategic Alliance Agreement with further meetings to be held in Beijing in midNovember.

2025 Pilot Well Drilling Program

During the quarter Lucky Fox-07 (LF-07) was successful drilled, commissioned and brought into production. In early August the Company announced that it had safely and successfully drilled and cased the well to a total depth of 420 metres with logging results indicating the well intersected approximately 54 metres of net coal, as prognosed and consistent with existing surrounding pilot production wells.

The drilling operations were performed on a turnkey (fixed cost) contract using Major Drilling’s larger, more powerful TXD200 drilling rig - which is the first time that rig has been used in Mongolia.

Following completion of the drilling operations at LF-07, the well was commissioned and placed on production and after only a few days, commenced producing gas.

==> picture [227 x 150] intentionally omitted <==

Drilling Operations at LF-07

Whilst resources were available onsite for the drilling of LF-07, the Company took the opportunity to perform maintenance on the LF06 pilot production well. LF-06 was worked over with the downhole pump pulled and cleaned, and the fill at the bottom of the well cleaned out to reduce the possibility of future production interruptions with that well.

Production Operations

The Pilot Well Project now has seven wells on production all of which are consistently producing gas at varying levels. Although not at commercial rates at this stage, it proves that gas can be produced from the coals and the Company’s focus is to now ensure the technical team collects the data necessary to make informed decisions on how to optimise gas and water production going forward.

The following table details the gas and water production at the Pilot Well Project for the Quarter.

Month Water
Production
(bbls/day)
Gas
Production
**(m3) **
July 542 7,613
August 513 6,123
September
490
9,804

The Company is further updating and refining its reservoir model with this new data to more accurately forecast both anticipated type curves for gas production rates of a typical production well (based on the reservoir parameters currently being observed) and estimate the time required to reach the necessary critical desorption pressures. This work is expected to be completed before the end of the year.

The decision was made to shut in LF-02 on 21 September 2025 for a few weeks. The benefits of the shut in were to investigate if it is possible to increase that well’s water production after a period of shut in and to undertake another pressure build up test. LF-02 was successfully brought back onto production in early October.

Encouragingly, LF-02 continued to produce gas (approximately 30 cubic metres per day) during the shut in period, indicating that some of the coal in that well is already desorbing gas.

2025 Exploration Drilling Program

During October, the Company commenced a relatively inexpensive exploration drilling program which will satisfy the PSC commitments and help define the extent of the coal play fairway to the east of Nariin Sukhait.

2025 Exploration Drilling Underway

==> picture [596 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [29 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

The Soumber area is well known to host coal which has been discovered in prior coal exploration wells and the main objective of the this program is to gain more information on gas content and permeability of the coals and their suitability for future CSG exploitation.

Drilling operations on the first of three planned exploration holes commenced on 19 October and is ongoing. Results of the wells will be reported at the end of each well or immediately, if any material information is discovered.

Key Appointments

During the Quarter and following significant encouragement from the performance of the Pilot Well Project, the Company has committed to several key appointments to the team.

A significant and important hire has been a Mongolia based Operations Superintendent. Mr. Brad Reeve will join TMK team in November and will be based primarily in Mongolia at the Nariin Sukhait Project site.

His experience and skillsets gained from working in the minerals industry in Australia for the likes of Rio Tinto and Gold Fields (amongst others) will be of enormous benefit to TMK as it strives for continuous improvement in its operational capability.

Brad’s expertise in managing health and safety, production processes, and general operations, as well as his strong connection to Mongolia through family, made him an ideal candidate for the role.

Brad has spent extended periods of time in Mongolia, speaks some Mongolian and is familiar with the culture, people and climate.

With current focus being on analysis of the production data, the Company has secured the services of a highly experienced CSG reservoir engineer. Mr. Garry Ward is a Texas based reservoir engineer with international CSG expertise who spends a considerable amount of time in Ulaanbaatar.

Garry has been assisting with the implementation of an improved reservoir management plan (RMP) that the Company has now adopted. Garry has extensive CSG experience in Mongolia, China and the USA and will be instrumental in assisting TMK reach its primary goal at the Pilot Well Project, which is to increase water production and reduce

reservoir pressure to ultimately, increase gas flow rates.

Mr. Greg Channon has almost four decades of multi-discipline subsurface and leadership experience and has joined the Company in a part time advisory capacity to provide advice with design and implementation of the 2025 exploration program and provide technical guidance on general geoscience and subsurface matters. Greg will also be assisting in the implementation of the project partnering process which is due to get underway in the coming months.

These recent appointments supplement the existing team and backfill some of the responsibilities that were previously undertaken by one of the founders of the Project, Mr Brendan Stats. Brendan has taken on an advisory role assisting the Company on an ongoing, but not full-time basis.

Strategic Alliance Agreement

In early August, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Beijing based energy consulting firm, J-Energy, the founders of which are former executives of Shell China.

The Agreement sets out the terms under which J-Energy and TMK will work together to among other things, assist in the preparation of a field development plan, including providing geological, engineering and project development expertise.

Additionally, the alliance contemplates additional services including providing operational support for production operations as well as logistical support for procurement of equipment and services out of China into Mongolia.

With a major China/Mongolia border crossing (Shivee Khuren) less than 50kms from the current Pilot Well Project and connected with sealed roads, sourcing major equipment and services from China is logistically superior and a solution the Company is increasingly focussed on.

Corporate

Changes in Capital Structure

During the Quarter, the Company raised $3.5 million (before costs) by way of an oversubscribed placement (Placement). The Placement was strongly supported by Directors and new and existing sophisticated and professional investors both offshore and domestic, including existing major shareholders of the Company.

Pursuant to the Placement, the Company issued 1,675,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, with a further 75,000,000 shares to be issued to directors, subject to shareholder approval at an upcoming general meeting to be held on 31 October 2025 (General Meeting).

The shares (other than those to be issued to directors) were issued on 22 September 2025 pursuant to the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Consolidation

Amongst other business to be put to shareholders at the upcoming General Meeting, shareholders are being asked to vote on a proposed reorganisation of the Company’s capital to consolidate all TMK securities on the basis that every fifty-five (55) securities will be consolidated into one (1) security post consolidation.

The rationale for undertaking the reorganisation of capital at this time includes consideration of the limited liquidity at price points ranging between $0.002 and $0.003 per share due to the large percentage movement in share prices at these levels, substantial amounts of mid-point trading (CXXT) which retail shareholders cannot access and general lack of appetite of institutional investors at these price levels.
