Announcement to ASX Electronic lodgement

MARCH 2025 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

Xstate Resources Limited ( ASX:XST ) ( Xstate , XST or the Company ) is pleased to provide the Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ending 31 March 2025.

DIONA PROJECT AND RE-QUOTATION

Over the past quarter, the Board continued its stated objectives of identifying a project to facilitate the re-quotation of the Company’s shares and on the 7 April 2025, the Company announced that it had signed a deal to acquire a 51% working interest in the Diona block of ATP 2077, currently owned by Elixir Energy Limited[1] .

As announced, the Company now needs to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules and will be shortly issuing a Prospectus targeting a minimum capital raise of $1.5m. As part of the recompliance process, the Company will have to secure at least 300 applications from new or existing shareholders at a minimum parcel size of $2,000. Existing shareholders will be offered priority entitlement to 50% of the maximum capital raise. The Company will provide further updates on timing as the Prospectus is finalized.

Managing Director, Andrew Bald commented:

“The Diona project is an excellent project that will both facilitate the re-quotation of our shares and gives the Company an excellent, low technical risk project, our first as majority working interest holder and operator.

We have the funding to drill the well which is expected to be approximately $2.6m[2] . We will, of course, work closely with Elixir on getting this well drilled as soon as possible after re-quotation on ASX and are aiming to drill in the 3[rd] quarter of 2025, most likely towards the end of that quarter.

The technical team have done an excellent job analysing the data and believe there is excellent potential for both gas and liquids. With multiple targets, this is a great cornerstone project for us.”

ACTIVITIES

The Company’s activities during the quarter were predominantly focused on securing the Diona project however, on the 7 February 2025, the Company announced the disposal of its interests in the Crest Jinn wells (Canada) whereby the Company received a 3% overriding royalty on 25% of all production operations on the existing and any future wells drilled on the 10,240 gross acres over which the working interest was held.

The Crest Jinn assets were not cashflow accretive and it was the Board’s considered decision that it would be in all parties’ best interests to dispose of these assets.

  • 1 See ASX Announcement dated 7[th] April 2025.

  • 2 Plus completion which would be paid in proportion to our working interest of 51% / 49% (XST/EXR)

The Company retains its interests in the Anshof project (Austria) and in the USA (California) however the Board is constantly reviewing the Company’s portfolio and looking for opportunities to enhance or monetise its projects.

FINANCIAL

The Company’s cash balance upon conclusion of the quarter decreased to A$3.276m, down $196,000. Whilst this outflow was higher than the previous quarter (Q4 2024 outflow $143,000) the increase can be directly attributed to legal and technical fees incurred that directly relate to the Diona acquisition.

OPERATIONS

AUSTRIA: ANSHOF PRODUCTION (20% WI)

Production for the December Qtr from the Anshof-3 well totalled:

Oilproduction in Austria(bbl) March 2025 December 2024
Gross to JV(before royalty) 6,473 8,548
Net to XST(before royalty) 1,295 1,709

CALIFORNIA: SACRAMENTO BASIN PRODUCTION (VARIOUS WIs)

There were no changes to the Company’s Californian based assets during the quarter with exception to the identification from Australian Oil Company Limited ( ASX:AOK ) that all the leases associated with the Alvares project had expired (as reported in their 2024 Annual Report[3] ).

Accordingly, we have updated our tenement schedule to reflect a Nil working interest in the Alvares project. It is noted that no exploration expenditure has been incurred on the Alvares project for several years and the Company does not consider the information to be material or market sensitive.

No changes to the Sacramento project with the Company continuing to maintain its leases in the Sacramento Basin during the quarter. Xstate has working interests (WI) of between 10% and 33% in oil and gas leases.

Oil and Gasproduction in California(mcf1) March 2025 December 2024
Gross Gas 20,192 22,283
Net XST(after Royalty) 2,023 2,260

1 mcf – Thousand Cubic feet gas

CORPORATE

On 7 April 2025, it was announced that Mr Andrew Bald had been appointed as the Company’s Managing Director. Mr Bald’s focus is now on leading the Company through the re-quotation process on ASX and our imminent maiden drilling program at the Diona project.

Concurrently, Mr Andrew Childs’ role as Chairman has transitioned such that it will be performed in a Non-executive capacity.

ABOUT XSTATE RESOURCES LIMITED

Xstate Resources ( ASX:XST ) is an ASX listed company focused on the oil and gas sector. The Company has existing oil and gas assets located in the California in the United States of America, oil production assets in Austria and until February 2025, Alberta, Canada. In April 2025, the Company acquired its Diona project located in the Surat Bowen basin of South-West Queensland.

LEASES

US and Canadian exploration is conducted on leases granted by Mineral Right owners, including the respective Governments and private individuals or groups. Leases can vary in size from very small parcels (part of an acre) to large landholdings (covering a few square miles). Leases generally are for 5 years and rentals are paid annually. There are no firm work commitments associated with the leases. Some leases are ‘Held By Production’ (HBP) and royalties are paid to mineral right owners in lieu of rentals. XST has not listed all it leases as it is impractical and not meaningful for potential project value assessment in a conventional natural gas play. A detailed listing of leases may also lead to a loss of competitive advantage and consequent reduced value to XST shareholders.

COMPETENT PERSON

The technical information provided has been supervised and reviewed in detail by XST’s Competent Person, Mr Greg Channon, who is also a Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr Channon is a qualified geoscientist with over 35 years of oil and gas industry experience and a member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the South East Asian Exploration Society and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He is qualified as a competent person in accordance with ASX listing rule 5.41. Mr Channon consents to the inclusion of the information in this report in the form and context in which it appears.
