On May 7, 2025, the Company provided an update regarding payment of the Outstanding Notes of the 2024 Bond. As previously confirmed, those Noteholders who did not participate in the Exchanges will receive settlement of the Outstanding Notes and accrued interest by way of cash (the "Remaining Outstanding Notes").
As at the date of this document, the Company confirms that it has paid the Remaining Outstanding Notes in the amount of 40% (forty percent).
The Company plans to complete payment of the balance of the Remaining Outstanding Notes and the accrued interest by March 31, 2026.
On May 29, 2025, the Company announced the completion of a private placement in the United Kingdom (the "UK Financing") and in Norway (the "Norwegian Financing").
The Company raised an aggregate total amount of approximately £2,257,000 (equivalent to approx. NOK 31,000,000), resulting in the issuance of a total of 15,953,508 new common shares ("New Common Shares").
Zenith issued a total of 14,574,198 common shares of no-par value in the capital of the Company in connection with the Norwegian Financing (the "Norwegian Financing Common Shares") to raise gross proceeds of NOK 28,201,000 (approximately £2,057,000).
Zenith issued a total of 1,379,310 common shares of no-par value in the capital of the Company in connection with the UK Financing (the "UK Financing Common Shares") to raise gross proceeds of £200,000 (approximately NOK 2,799,000).
The Norwegian Financing was completed at a price of NOK 1.9350 per Norwegian Financing Common Share. The UK Financing was completed at a price of £0.1450.
On May 30, 2025, the Company announced that it had acquired a total of three solar energy production assets in Italy, located in the regions of Piedmont and Lazio, by way of its Italian subsidiary created for the purpose of managing its new solar energy portfolio WESOLAR S.R.L. ("WESOLAR").
The Company announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire approximately 13.5 hectares of agricultural land in the region of Piedmont for a cash consideration of EUR 900,000.
The Piedmont Acquisition is categorised as 'Agrivoltaic', meaning that agricultural and solar energy production activities are combined in a hybrid manner to co-exist and function simultaneously.
Production activities are expected to commence within a year, during which time the necessary permits and installation of the photovoltaic energy production infrastructure will take place.
The Piedmont Acquisition is conditional on the successful achievement of all the necessary local approvals and permits, as well as completion of due diligence by the Company.
Recent regulatory changes in Italy, brought about by the sentence of the Council of State number 6160/2025, have enabled the Piedmont Acquisition to be reclassified.
The Piedmont Acquisition has now been projected as a 10MWp solar energy development project, replacing its previous classification as a 7 MWp agrivoltaic development project.
The reclassification is expected to materially improve the Piedmont Acquisition's economics, shortening the completion timeline and simplifying its technical profile, increasing potential electricity production and associated revenue generation.
The Company announced that it had completed the Ligurian Acquisition.
As previously announced on April 9, 2025, the production capacity of the Ligurian Acquisition will be increased to 0.5 MW through the installation of latest generation photovoltaic technology.
The Ligurian Acquisition was acquired for a consideration of EUR 110,000.
Gross annual revenue is currently in the amount of approximately EUR 30,000, with an expected payback time of approximately 4 years utilizing exiting infrastructure.
Planned infrastructural upgrades are expected to increase annual gross revenue to approximately EUR 100,000.
Production costs are limited and confined to general maintenance.
On June 6, 2025, the Company confirmed that an application had been made for admission to the Transition Category of the FCA Official List and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange of 20,693,379 common shares of no par value ("Common Shares"). The Common Shares already formed part of the Company's outstanding share capital and did not represent a new equity issuance.
Following the application for admission, the number of Common Shares admitted to the Transition Category of the FCA Official List and to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange was 328,482,086.
On July 16, 2025, the Company announced that it had received the decision of the Arbitral Tribunal in respect of the ICC-2 Arbitration regarding the Sidi El Kilani concession ("SLK Concession") against the Republic of Tunisia ("ICC-2").

The Company immediately announced that it would apply for an Annulment of the ICC-2 decision.
Under the rules of the ICC, a party may seek the annulment of an arbitral award for, inter alia, cases of procedural irregularities.
The Company confirmed that its legal counsel had identified and documented several serious procedural irregularities during ICC-2.

On September 30, 2025, the Company received final approval for admission to trading of the Company's Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs") on Spotlight Stock Market. Trading commenced on October 7, 2025.
First day of trading on Spotlight Stock Market: October 7, 2025
Ticker: ZENA SDR ISIN: SE0025938210
In connection with the listing off the Company to the Spotlight Stock Market, Zenith issued a total of 44,304,602 common shares of no-par value in the capital of the Company in connection with the SDRs listing to raise gross proceeds of SEK 19,907,071 (approximately £1,578,000).
Dear Shareholders,
The period under review has been marked by substantial operational, corporate, and legal developments across all principal areas of the Company's business. Zenith has continued to advance its renewable energy initiatives in Italy, progress the permitting of two nationally significant uranium projects through its longestablished Italian subsidiary, and continue pursuing major international arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Tunisia. These developments, combined with the Company's lean operational structure, position Zenith for a potentially transformational period as it enters 2026.
During the period, the Company completed several solar acquisitions across the Liguria, Lazio, Puglia, and Piedmont regions of Italy. These acquisitions reinforce Zenith's cluster-based development strategy in regions with favourable irradiation profiles and permitting characteristics. Following the acquisition announced on 17 November 2025, the Company's total solar development portfolio has increased to 110.5 MWp.
The Company continues to place material emphasis on the integration of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)within its development portfolio. BESS integration is expected to enhance system flexibility, improve grid stabilisation, and support the long-term commercial value of Zenith's renewable energy assets.
With a substantial development base established, the Company's next objective is the construction or acquisition of a near-construction solar plant. The purpose of this milestone is to demonstrate revenuegenerating capability, supported by project finance, and to validate the bankability of Zenith's development approach. In conjunction with this strategy, the Company intends to divest a portion of its development pipeline, thereby crystallising value, strengthening liquidity, and enabling the commencement of construction for selected projects.
To support transparency and regulatory clarity, Zenith has commissioned an independent valuation of its solar development portfolio, reflecting progress achieved since early 2025.
On 11 November 2025, Canoel Italia S.p.A. ("Canoel Italia"), the Company's fully controlled Italian subsidiary with more than a decade of operational experience in producing natural gas in Italy, submitted two applications for exploration permits covering the Val Vedello and Novazza uranium deposits located in the Lombardy Region. These deposits represent Italy's largest known uranium mineralisation.
Both applications have been formally accepted by the competent regional authorities, marking successful completion of the initial phase of the authorisation process. The next procedural step is the submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment (VIA) to the Ministry for Environment and Energy Security (MASE). Consolidated VIA documentation is scheduled for filing in January 2026, with approval anticipated, subject to regulatory review, by September 2026.
The Val Vedello and Novazza deposits contain historically estimated resources of approximately 15 million lbs of U₃O₈, representing a substantial strategic resource for Italy. Both projects benefit from extensive underground infrastructure installed during historic work by AGIP Nucleare, which is expected to materially reduce future capital requirements and support an accelerated timeline for recommencing exploration.
Canoel Italia continues to operate in full compliance with national and EU regulatory frameworks and is conducting all preparatory work, including baseline environmental studies, with an emphasis on environmental stewardship and stakeholder engagement.
The Company is engaged in two separate arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Tunisia. Both matters progressed materially during the period and are expected to conclude in 2026.
As previously disclosed, the Company received an unfavourable award in the ICC-2 arbitration. Following the award, Zenith undertook further analysis and identified undisclosed connections between certain tribunal members and the Republic of Tunisia, as well as procedural irregularities during the conduct of the proceedings.
On this basis, the Company has filed an Annulment Application with the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. The application has been formally accepted, and the Company has made full payment of the required procedural fees amounting to CHF 200,000 (approximately EUR 215,000 or NOK 2,500,000). Decisions on annulment applications are typically rendered within 6–9 months.
The ICC-2 arbitration concerns the unlawful termination of the SLK Concession, for which independent expert assessments support claims totalling approximately US\$130 million.
The Company's wholly owned UK subsidiaries have filed their final submissions in the ICSID arbitration initiated under the 1989 UK–Tunisia Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT). The final hearing has been scheduled for April 2026 and will mark the conclusion of the evidentiary phase of this proceeding.
To support the quantification of damages, the Company appointed TWCOG LLP, an internationally recognised advisory firm specialising in complex disputes within the oil and gas sector. The firm's founder and senior leadership have acted in more than sixty international energy disputes and provided expert testimony in over fifty arbitration proceedings, including multiple ICSID cases involving expropriation by sovereign states. TWCOG has worked in close coordination with Chapman Hydrogen and Petroleum Engineering Ltd., the Company's long-standing independent reserves evaluator with over fifty years of experience in petroleum engineering and reserves assessment.
Following a comprehensive reassessment, the total claimed damages have been updated to US\$572.65 million, reflecting additional breaches and obstructions by the Republic of Tunisia. This claim represents the largest and most significant arbitration undertaken by the Company and covers a wide scope of alleged treaty violations relating to the expropriation and impairment of the Claimants' investments.
Legal representation in the ICSID proceeding is provided by two highly experienced international arbitration practices:
ICC, LCIA, ICSID, and ad hoc rules, with clients including multinational corporations, financial institutions, and investment funds.
The ICSID arbitration is procedurally distinct and entirely independent from the ICC-2 arbitration. It is governed exclusively by the ICSID Convention and administered by the World Bank Group, a framework designed specifically for disputes between investors and sovereign states. ICSID tribunals are formed under different rules, with different appointment processes, legal standards, and institutional oversight mechanisms, and have no connection to the tribunal or procedures used in ICC-2.
For these reasons—including the materially different legal framework, the nature of the claims, and the composition of the tribunal—the Company considers the ICSID process to be clearly distinguishable from ICC-2. While no outcome can be guaranteed, the Company believes that the ICSID Tribunal will assess the claims independently, on the basis of the evidence and treaty obligations applicable to this proceeding.
Zenith received final approval for the admission of its Swedish Depository Receipts ("SDRs") to trading on Spotlight Stock Market, with trading commencing on 7 October 2025. This listing enhances the Company's visibility among Scandinavian investors and responds to sustained interest from its regional shareholder base.
In closing, the Company enters 2026 with a strengthened renewable energy development portfolio, two advanced uranium exploration permit applications filed by its long-established Italian subsidiary, and significant progress across both international arbitration proceedings. Supported by a lean operational structure and a clear strategic roadmap, Zenith is positioned for a period of potentially material corporate development and value realisation.
We wish to thank all shareholders for their continued support and confidence.
Sincerely,
Andrea Cattaneo Chief Executive Officer

The consolidated financial statements of Zenith Energy Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") have been prepared on the basis set out below. Zenith Energy Ltd are exempt from the preparation of separate parent company financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 in line with the Canada Business Corporations Act.
Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Group") was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act on September 20, 2007 and is domiciled in Canada. The address of the Group's registered office is 20th Floor, 250 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC. VC6 3R8, Canada and its business address is 15th Floor, 850 - 2nd Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 0R8, Canada. The Group's primary business activity is the international development of oil and gas production and development assets. As publicly reported, the Group is currently in the process of seeking to complete a number of acquisitions in the United States and Europe.
The Company's website is: www.zenithenergy.ca.
Zenith is a public company listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker "ZEN", with its entire common share capital admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth Oslo under the ticker "ZENA" and the Spotlight Stock Market Stockholm under the ticker "ZENA SDR".
The consolidated financial statements presented in this document have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are presented in Canadian Dollars (CAD\$) and have been rounded to the nearest thousand (CAD\$'000) except where otherwise indicated.
The Board has reviewed the accounting policies set out below, which have been applied consistently, and considers them to be the most appropriate to the Group's business activities.
The presentation currency of the Group is the Canadian dollar ("CAD\$").
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which a company operates. The functional currencies of the Group's subsidiaries are; United States ("US\$") dollars for the subsidiaries in Tunisia, Dubai and British Virgin Islands, Euros ("EUR") for the subsidiary in Italy, Sterling ("GBP") for the subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Swiss Francs ("CHF") for the subsidiary in Switzerland and Norwegian Krone ("NOK") for the subsidiary in Norway.
The functional currency is determined by the Directors by looking at a number of relevant factors including the currency in which Group entities usually generate and spend cash and in which business transactions are normally denominated.
All of the transactions that are not in the functional currency are treated as foreign and indicate currency transactions.
The factors that have determined the adoption of the CAD\$ as presentation currency include:
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which presumes that the Group will continue its operations in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. In assessing whether going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors have taken into account all relevant available information about the current and future position of the Group. As part of their assessment, the Directors have also taken into account the ability to raise additional funding whilst maintaining sufficient cash resources to meet all commitments.
The Directors have reviewed the cash flow forecasts prepared by management up to and including August 2026, which are prepared on the basis that the Group continues to hold title to the Tunisian and Italian oil and gas asset and which takes into account the fund raises completed post year end, as well as loan and bond repayments which fall due within 12 months of the date of the signing of the financial statements. The cashflow forecasts also include the investments in respect of the proposed acquisitions in the United States and Italy, provision about the cashing of the ICC 1 result announced in December 2024, provisions about its claim in Congo against SMP Energies ( hereafter "SMP", formerly Société de Maintenance Pétrolière - SMP) the rig contractor that performed drilling services in wells TLP-103 and TLP-103C of the Tilapia oilfield during 2018-2019, and the various legal proceedings against the Republic of Tunisia, with a total cumulative claimed amount of at least US\$603 million.
The Group believes that these financial commitments will be covered by a combination of funding generated by operations, funds raised post year end, funds to be received from the arbitrations in Paris, as well as further planned fund raises within the going concern period. The Directors believe that the planned fund raises via the various sources of capital available to the Group will be successful. The Group's ability to raise funds has been demonstrated in the year ended March 31, 2025. However, as at the date of approval of the financial statements, these funds have not been secured.
The Directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Group has adequate working capital to execute its operations over the next 12 months. The Directors therefore have made an informed judgment, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the annual financial statements.

(2) On January 30, 2020, the Company announced the establishment of its fully owned Norwegian subsidiary, Zenith Energy AS ("Zenith Norway"), to be used as a vehicle for intended participation in future licensing bids to be organized by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, as well as to actively pursue the potential acquisition of working interests in mature energy production assets across Northern Europe.
(3) On April 30, 2021, the Company announced that Compagnie Du Desert Ltd ("CDD"), its recently incorporated fully owned subsidiary, has entered into a share purchase agreement ("SPA") with Candax Energy Limited ("Candax") for the acquisition of a 100 percent interest in Candax's fully owned subsidiary in Barbados, Ecumed Petroleum Tunisia Ltd ("EPT") (the "Acquisitions"), which holds a 100% interest in the El Bibane and Robbana concessions in Tunisia.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Adjustments are made to the results of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used by them, with those used by the Group.
Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The reason for Wesolar S.r.l. and Canoel Italia S.p.A's different reporting date is that it operates in line with the Company's calendar year. Aligning with this reduces the administrative burden associated with amending the figures for a different year-end. The remaining subsidiaries have different financial yearends as they were acquired with different existing financial reporting dates. These have not been amended, to be in line with the Group's financial reporting calendar, due to the administrative burden these changes would entail.
The following entities have not been consolidated within the Group's financial statements because they are considered to be immaterial to the Group:

Development and production ("D&P") assets include costs incurred in developing commercial reserves and bringing them into production. Items of property and equipment, including D&P assets, are carried at cost less accumulated depletion and depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
When significant parts of D&P assets have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components).
Gains and losses on disposal of D&P assets are determined by comparing the proceeds of disposal with the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for acquisitions of subsidiaries and assets that meet the definition of a business under IFRS. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration agreement.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of an acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Transaction costs that are incurred in connection with a business combination other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity instruments are expensed as incurred.
Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Costs incurred subsequent to the determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability, costs of replacing parts of property and equipment and workovers of property and equipment are recognised only if they increase the economic benefits of the assets to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. The carrying amounts of previous inspections or any replaced or sold components are derecognized. The costs of day-to-day servicing of an item of property and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
The netbook value of producing assets is depleted on a field-by-field basis using the unit of production method with reference to the ratio of production in the year to the related proved and probable reserves, as determined by an independent reserve engineer, taking into account estimated future development costs necessary to bring those reserves into production. For purposes of these calculations, relative volumes of natural gas production and reserves are converted at the energy equivalent conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the D&P assets for circumstances that indicate the assets may be impaired. Assets are grouped together into cash-generating units ("CGUs") for the purpose of impairment testing.
If any such indication of impairment exists, the Group makes an estimate of its recoverable amount. A CGUs recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Value in use is generally computed by reference to the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from the production of proved and probable reserves.
Fair value, less costs to sell is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of a CGU in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. The fair value less cost to sell of D&P assets is generally determined as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continued use of the CGU, including any expansion prospects, and its eventual disposal, using assumptions that an independent market participant may take into account.
These cash flows are discounted by an appropriate discount rate which would be applied by such a market participant to arrive at a net present value of the CGU. When the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the asset or CGU is impaired. For impairment losses identified on a CGU, the loss is allocated on a pro rata basis to the assets within the CGU. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in profit or loss.
At the end of each subsequent reporting period, these impairments are assessed for indicators of reversal.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss have been recognised for the asset or CGU in prior periods.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group recognizes a decommissioning obligation in the period in which a well is drilled or acquired, and a reasonable estimate of the future costs associated with removal, site restoration and asset retirement can be made. The estimated decommissioning provision is recorded with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related cost centre.
Decommissioning provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date. Subsequent to the initial measurement, the provision is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the unwinding of discount and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the unwinding of discount is recognised as finance expenses. Actual costs incurred upon settlement of the decommissioning obligations are charged against the provision to the extent the provision was established.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits in bank accounts and cash in hand.
Inventory consists of crude oil which is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of producing crude oil is accounted on a weighted average basis. This cost includes all costs incurred in the normal course of business in bringing each product to its present location and condition. The cost of crude oil is the producing cost, including royalties. Net realizable value of crude oil and refined products is based on estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less any expected selling costs.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Group's statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. All recognized financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortized cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Classification of financial assets
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method:
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Despite the foregoing, the Group may make the following irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition of a financial asset:
The Group applies the expected credit loss model to financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. There are no financial assets other than trade receivables.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Group's own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments.
All financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Compound financial instruments include convertible notes which can be converted into a fixed number of common shares for a fixed amount of consideration. The compound financial instrument is bifurcated and recorded with a liability and equity component. The liability component is initially recognised as the fair value of the liability without the conversion feature, which is calculated using inputs that fall within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13. The equity component is recognised as the difference between the fair value of the convertible debt and the fair value of the liability component.
Transaction costs are proportionately allocated between the components. Subsequently, the liability component is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method and accretes up to the principal balance at maturity.
The equity component is not re-measured after initial recognition. Upon conversion, the liability component is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognised. If the number of common shares to which the loan can be converted is not fixed, then the loan is recorded as a liability with no debt / equity split.
The Group removes a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) from its statement of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished-i.e., when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Amortized cost and effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit-impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortized cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortized cost. For financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit impaired. For financial assets that have subsequently become creditimpaired, interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If, in subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognized by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
The Group's financial assets were classified as financial assets measured subsequently at amortized cost. The Group's financial liabilities were classified as financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortized cost. The Group does not choose to classify any financial liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, and any dividends are discretionary or redeemable but only at the Group's option. Dividends on share capital classified as equity are recognised as distributions within equity. Non-equity share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognised in the consolidated income statement as a financial expense.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.
The cost of providing share-based payments to employees is charged to the statement of comprehensive income (or treated as a share issue cost) over the vesting period of the related share options or share allocations. The cost is based on the fair values of the options, which is determined using the Black Scholes method. The value of the charge is adjusted to reflect expected and actual level of vesting. Charges are not adjusted for market related conditions that are not achieved. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than Directors or employees the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is charged with the fair value of the related goods or services received.
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share for its common shares. Basic earnings per share
amounts are calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share amounts are determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted, for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.
The Group enters into contracts for the sale of oil and gas. Revenue is recognised when the price is determinable, the product has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the contract, the significant risks and rewards or ownership have been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. The performance obligation is identified to be the delivery of oil and gas to the customer, and the transaction price is allocated to the amount of oil and gas delivered. These criteria for performance obligation are assessed to have occurred once the product has been delivered to the customer.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Group and its subsidiaries using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency are translated as follows:
Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group's exchange difference on translating foreign operations on the statement of comprehensive income and are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. These differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the operation is disposed.
Contingent liabilities and contingent assets are not recognised in the Statement of Financial Position but are reported in the notes. They may arise from uncertainty as to the existence of a liability or asset or represent an asset or liability in respect of which the amount cannot be reliably measured. Contingent assets are disclosed when settlement is probable but not virtually certain and contingent liabilities are disclosed when settlement is greater than remote.
Finance expense is comprised of interest on debt, accretion of the decommissioning obligation, accretion of convertible notes and other miscellaneous interest charges.
Income tax expense is comprised of current and deferred tax and is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax is recorded, using the asset and liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. However, deferred tax is not recorded on taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill or on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction other than a business combination that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, which equates to the value of proceeds received net of any directly attributable arrangement costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions about the future. The relating accounting estimates will by definition, seldom equal to related achieved result. The estimates and judgements that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
Management have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis of accounting which, as stated in note 2, is dependent on the group being able to raise additional funding as required. This is considered to be a critical accounting judgement.
Management reviews the Group's property, plant and equipment annually for impairment indicators.
The determination of recoverable amounts in any resulting impairment test requires judgement around key assumptions. Key assumptions in the impairment models include those related to prices that are based on forward curves and long-term corporate assumptions thereafter, discount rates, that are risked to reflect conditions specific to individual assets, future costs, both capital and operating that are based on management's estimates having regard to past experience and the known characteristics of the individual assets, reserves and future production, which are discussed further on note 11. The carrying value of property, plant and equipment as of September 30, 2025, was CAD\$ 138,931k (2024 – CAD\$137,301k).
The volume of proved and probable oil and gas reserves is an estimate that affects the unit of production depreciation of producing oil and gas property, plant and equipment as well as being a significant estimate affecting decommissioning provisions, impairment calculations and the valuation of oil and gas properties in business combinations. Contingent resources affect the valuation of exploration and exploration assets acquired in business combinations and the estimation of the recoverable value of those assets in impairment tests.
Proved and probable reserves and contingent resources are estimated using standard recognised evaluation techniques. Estimates are reviewed at least annually and are regularly estimated by independent consultants. Future development costs are estimated taking into account the level of development required to produce the reserves by reference to operators, where applicable, and internal engineers.
The Group's reserves are evaluated and reported on by independent reserve engineers at least annually. The engineers issue a Competent Person's Report ("CPR"), and the latest version was issued in July 2023 in relation to the Group's Italian and Congolese assets. Reserve estimation is based on a variety of factors including engineering data, geological and geophysical data, projected future rates of production, commodity pricing and timing of future expenditures, all of which are subject to significant judgement and interpretation.
Most of these decommissioning events are many years in the future and the precise requirements that will have to be met when the removal event occurs are uncertain. Decommissioning technologies and costs are constantly changing, as well as political, environmental, safety and public expectations.
The estimated cost of decommissioning at the end of the producing lives of fields is reviewed periodically and is based on forecast price levels and technology at the Statement of Financial Position date. Provision is made for the estimated cost at the Statement of Financial Position date, using a discounted cash flow methodology and a risk-free rate of return. Details of the Group's decommissioning costs are disclosed in note 19. The carrying value of the decommissioning costs as of September 30, 2025, is CAD\$23,373k (2024 – CAD\$23,950k).
The Group conducts impairment reviews of investments in subsidiaries and non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or tests for impairment annually in accordance with the relevant accounting standards. Determining whether an asset is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which requires the Group to estimate the value in use which based on future cash flows and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, an impairment loss may arise. During the year, after reviewing the business environment as well as the Group's strategies and past performance of its cash-generating units, management concluded that there was impairment for plant and equipment in Tunisia. Management believes that any reasonably possible changes in the assumptions used in the impairment reviews would not affect management's view on impairment at current year end.
During the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Group incurred CAD\$7,563k (2024 - CAD\$277k) of administrative expenses. Furthermore, during the same period the Group incurred CAD\$5,149k (2024 - CAD\$ 1,121k) of non-recurring expenses which relate to the cost for the Arbitration against the Republic of Tunisia and the negotiation costs for the potential acquisition of producing assets.

As of September 30, 2025, a review was undertaken of the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment to determine whether there was any indication of a trigger that may have led to these assets suffering an impairment loss.
According to the intention of the Company to divest its activities in the Republic of Congo, and in relation to the Arbitrations against the Republic in Tunisia (for Ecumed Petroleum Zarzis and Canadian North Africa Oil & Gas), the Board decided to totally impair the value of the assets for these entities, in the previous year.
For the other amounts included in Property, plant and equipment, the Board continued to apply the evaluation method applied in the previous years.
As there is no readily available market for the Group's oil and gas properties, fair value is derived as the net present value of the estimated future cash flows arising from the continued use of the assets, incorporating assumptions that a typical market participant would consider. The value in use of an oil and gas property is generally lower than its Fair Value Less Costs of Disposal ("FVLCD") as value in use reflects only those cash flows expected to be derived from the asset in its current condition. FVLCD includes appraisal and development expenditure that a market participant would consider likely to enhance the productive capacity of an asset and optimize future cash flows. Consequently, the Group determines recoverable amount based on FVLCD using a Discounted Cash Flow ('DCF') methodology.
The DCF was derived by estimating discounted after-tax cash flows for each CGU based on estimates that a typical market participant would use in valuing such assets. The impairment tests compared the recoverable amount of the respective CGUs noted below to the respective carrying values of their associated assets. The estimates of FVLCD meet the definition of level three fair value measurements as they are determined from unobservable inputs.
During the previous financial year, management committed to sell a drilling rig held within Canoel Italia S.p.A. The asset was previously used in oil and gas operations but is no longer required for ongoing activities. In line with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, the asset has been classified as held for sale since the period ended 31 March 2025.
The drilling rig has been actively marketed for sale through a public listing. The sale is expected to be completed within 12 months. The drilling rig is available for immediate sale in its current condition and meets all the criteria for classification as held for sale.
The rig was last independently valued by an external valuer during the prior year. No further changes in fair value, less costs to sell were identified during the current year. The asset continues to be measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. No impairment loss or reversal of a previous impairment has been recognised in the period.
In accordance with IFRS 5, depreciation of the asset ceased from the date of classification.
As result, the drilling rig was reclassified as a current asset for CAD\$5,476k.
During the previous Financial Year, the Group decided to impair the Tunisian assets that related to Ecumed Petroleum Zarzis (Ezzauoia concession) and Canadian North Africa Oil and Gas (Side El Kilani concession), as these assets were subject to international arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Tunisia. This resulted in an impairment amount, recognised in the Profit and Loss statement as at 31 March 2024 of CAD\$16,603k.
Further, the Company commissioned a Competent Person's Report ("CPR") for the Robbana and El Bibane concessions in Tunisia (held via Ecumed Petroleum Tunisia) in compliance with Canadian securities laws, specifically the COGE Handbook and National Instrument 51-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. The field estimates of the reserves in these concessions suggests that no further impairment is required. Details of these reserves can be found at: www.zenithenergy.ca.

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected credit loss provision for trade receivables. To measure expected credit losses on a collective basis, trade receivables are grouped based on similar credit risk and ageing. The Group's customer base is of a similar bracket and share the same characteristics, as such these have been treated as one population. The Group's customers are all State customers, therefore, the lifetime expected losses are considered to be CAD\$ nil.

To fund the acquisition of assets, and their development, and with the objective of avoiding a damaging dilution of its share capital, the Company has issued unsecured, multi-currency (GBP, Euro, CHF and USD) Medium Term Notes at par value (the "Notes"), admitted to trading on the Third Market (MTF) of the Vienna Stock Exchange ("Wiener Borse AG") and bearing interest payable semi-annually.
The issue of the Notes is aligned with the Group's strategy of diversifying its financing towards non-equity dilutive funding to support its successful development.
The Company has been using the EMTN Programme to finance its activities in the USA, Central Asia and Italy. The Company chose the Vienna Stock Exchange as it was viewed as a highly accessible market in terms of simplicity of process and listing costs.
During the year, the Company announced that it had fully paid the semi-annual interest in relation to the Notes.

The timings of the cash flows depend on the capital expenditure incurred and the development of assets in each concession. Each concession has a license for a set number of years; however, the licenses could be extended for longer periods if the operator incurs capital expenditure and develops the area. The application process starts after a license is not extended or when the reserves of a particular concession have been fully extracted.
Related party transactions are considered to be in the normal course of operations and are initially recognized at fair value. The related party transactions during the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 not disclosed elsewhere in this consolidated financial statement, are as follows:

Zenith finances its operations through a mixture of equity, debt and retained earnings. Finance requirements are reviewed by the Board when funds are required for acquisition, exploration and development of projects.
Zenith's policy is to maintain an appropriate financial position to sustain future development of the business. There were no changes to the Group's capital management approach during the six months ended September 30, 2025.
Zenith's treasury functions, which are managed by the board, are responsible for managing fund requirements and investments which include banking, cash flow management, interest, and foreign exchange exposure to ensure adequate liquidity to meet cash requirements.
Zenith's principal financial instruments are cash and deposits, as well as trade and other receivables. These instruments are used for meeting the Group's requirement for operations.
Zenith's main financial risks are foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and credit risks. Set out below are policies that are used to manage such risks:
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its commercial obligations. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure is limited to the carrying amount cash of CAD\$ 2,414k (2024 – CAD\$ 86k) and trade and other receivables of CAD\$ 29,452k (2024 – CAD\$ 12,210k).
Deposits are, as a rule, placed with banks and financial institutions that have credit rating of not less than AA or equivalent which are verified before placing the deposits.
The composition of trade and other receivables is summarized in the following table:
| September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| CAD\$'000 | CAD\$'000 | |
| Oil and natural gas sales | 1,270 | 1,087 |
| Other | 28,182 | 11,123 |
| 29,452 | 12,210 |
The receivables related to the sale of oil and natural gas are due from large companies who participate in the oil and natural gas industry in Tunisia and Italy. Oil and natural gas sales receivables are typically collected in the month following the sales month. No expected credit losses have been recognized in respect of trade receivables of this nature.
The Group's receivables are aged as follows:
| September 30, 2025 CAD\$'000 |
September 30, 2024 CAD\$'000 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Current | 29,452 | 12,210 |
| 90 + days | - | - |
| 29,452 | 12,210 |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will incur difficulties meeting its financial obligations as they are due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and distressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking harm to the Group's reputation.
The Directors have considered the recoverability of the outstanding debts of the Group and do not consider there to be any impairment necessary.
As of September 30, 2024, the contractual cash flows, including estimated future interest, of current and non-current financial assets mature as follows:

Foreign currency exchange risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange rates to Canadian dollars for the noted dates and periods are as follows:
| Closing rate | Average rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| US dollars | 1.3917 | 1.3515 | 1.3803 | 1.3661 |
| Euro | 1.6333 | 1.5083 | 1.5895 | 1.4858 |
| Swiss Franc | 1.7466 | 1.6019 | 1.6983 | 1.5443 |
| Tunisian Dinar | 0.4772 | 0.4442 | 0.4680 | 0.4393 |
The following represents the estimated impact on net (loss)/income of a 10% change in the closing rates as of September 30, 2025, and 2024 on foreign denominated financial instruments held by the Group, with other variables such as interest rates and commodity prices held constant:
| September 30, | September 30, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| CAD\$'000 | CAD\$'000 | |
| Euro | 59 | 45 |
| Tunisian Dinar | - | - |
| 59 | 45 |
Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in commodity prices.
As of September 30, 2025, a 5% change in the price of natural gas produced in Italy would represent a change in net result for the six-month ended September 30, 2025, of approximately CAD\$ 4k (2024 – CAD\$ 4k) and a 5% change in the price of electricity produced in Italy would represent a change in net result for the six-month ended September 30, 2025 of approximately CAD\$ 50k (2024 – CAD\$ 42k).
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group has fixed interest on notes payable, loans payable and convertible notes and therefore is not currently exposed to interest rate risk.
The Group's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to explore and develop its projects to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Group manages its working capital deficiency, long-term debt, and shareholders' equity as capital.
| September 30, 2025 | September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| CAD\$'000 | CAD\$'000 | |
| Working capital | (17,059) | (8,931) |
| Long-term debt | 589 | - |
| Shareholders' equity | 75,508 | 53,741 |
The Group's cash flows from its Italian operations will be needed in the near term to finance the operations and repay vendor loans. Once the acquisition in Tunisia will be completed and the license in Congo will be renewed, it will be required to match the same goals. Zenith's principal source of funds will therefore remain the issuance of equity. The Group's ability to raise future capital through equity is subject to uncertainty and the inability to raise such capital may have an adverse impact on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
This section sets out an analysis of net debt and the movements in net debt for each of the periods presented.

As of September 30, 2025, the Directors do not consider there to be a controlling party.
On October 9, 2025, the Company announced the signing of a new agreement to acquire a solar energy development project located in the Puglia region of Italy (the "Puglia Acquisition") by its wholly-owned Italian subsidiary created to manage its solar energy portfolio, WESOLAR SRL.
On October 14, 2025, the Company announced that it had made coupon payment in respect of the following multi-currency Euro Medium Term Notes the Company has listed on the Vienna MTF of the Vienna Stock Exchange:
• Zenith 2027 (ISIN: XS2638488028)
On October 19, 2025, the Company announced that its fully owned Italian solar energy subsidiary, WESOLAR SRL, had signed two separate agreements to acquire two solar energy development projects with a combined capacity of 22 MWp (collectively, the "Acquisitions").
On August 27, 2025, the Company announced an agreement to acquire 10 hectares of farmland in the region of Lazio to host a 5 MWp agrivoltaic solar energy plant (the "Lazio Acquisition").
Further, the Company confirmed that, following project design and engineering optimisation the expected installed capacity is now 7 MWp, compared with the originally planned 5 MWp, representing an increase of 2 MWp.
On November 4, 2025, the Company announced that the Paris Commercial Court (the "Court") has delivered a decision in respect of the legal claim (the "Claim") brought before the Paris Commercial Court (the "Court") by its fully owned subsidiary, Anglo African Oil & Gas Congo S.A.U ("AAOGC") against SMP Energies (hereafter "SMP", formerly Société de Maintenance Pétrolière - SMP) the rig contractor that performed drilling services in wells TLP-103 and TLP-103C of the Tilapia oilfield during 2018-2019.
The Court has partially accepted a significant proportion of the legal arguments advanced by AAOGC as part of the Claim, whilst solely recognising 160,000 EUR in compensation payable to AAOGC as a result of the responsibilities ascribable to SMP. However, the Court ruled that SMP's invoice, amounting to approximately €630,000 - although fully contested by AAOGC - remains payable on the basis that it was not disputed within six (6) calendar days, as stipulated in the contract. This interpretation is firmly contested by AAOGC. The Court has not provided for provisional enforcement of the decision.
AAOGC has instructed Charles Russell Speechlys (Paris) to appeal the decision, given its clearly contradictory nature and the limited level of compensation awarded despite the Court's acknowledgment of many of AAOGC's arguments.
The Company will provide a further update in due course as the appeal progresses.
On November 6, 2025, the Company announced that it had received approval from the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for publication of a UK prospectus document (the "Prospectus").

On November 11, 2025, the Company announced that its fully controlled Italian subsidiary, Canoel Italia S.p.A. ("Canoel Italia"), had submitted two applications for exploration permits (permessi di ricerca) covering Italy's two largest uranium deposits, located in the Lombardy region: the Val Vedello deposit in the Province of Sondrio ("Val Vedello") and the Novazza deposit in the Province of Bergamo ("Novazza").
To facilitate the advancement of its Italian uranium projects, Zenith Energy has incorporated Futuro Energetico Italiano SRL ("FEI"), a special purpose vehicle established to hold and develop the Val Vedello and Novazza uranium projects.
It is planned that the exploration licences will be registered under FEI, reflecting both the Italian identity of these assets and Zenith's commitment to a sustainable development model that delivers long-term benefits to Italy, local communities, and shareholders.
The Region of Lombardy has formally accepted both exploration permit applications, marking the successful completion of the initial phase of the authorisation process-a milestone no previous applicant has achieved. The forthcoming and final procedural stage involves the submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) - Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale (VIA) - to the Italian Ministry for Environment and Energy Security (MASE). Following submission, a dedicated commission (Commissione Tecnica VIA) will be established to evaluate both EIAs in accordance with national and EU environmental regulations. This process constitutes the final requirement prior to the issuance of the exploration licences.
Canoel Italia, a subsidiary of Zenith Energy, is regarded as a strong applicant due to its decade-long record of responsible energy-production activities in Italy, supported by proven technical and financial capability, formally recognised by MASE. These credentials strengthen the credibility of the applications and support a positive outcome in the permitting process.
The Company will evaluate the possibility of reversing or spinning out FEI into a separately listed vehicle, either fully or majority owned by the Company and other alternative routes to funding development of the projects. This uranium-focused entity, which is expected to command a significant independent market valuation, would operate independently from Zenith's ongoing arbitration and renewable energy activities, while enabling targeted institutional financing and strategic partnerships specific to the uranium sector and representing another major value-generation opportunity for Zenith Energy.
Preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") - Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale ("VIA") - for both the Novazza and Val Vedello uranium projects is currently underway. The process includes detailed baseline environmental, hydrological, and ecological studies, along with stakeholder consultations conducted in accordance with Italian and EU regulatory frameworks.
The comprehensive EIA documentation will consolidate the results of multiple technical studies into a single submission to the Italian Ministry for Environment and Energy Security (MASE), scheduled for January 2026. The approval process is expected to take approximately six months, positioning final licence issuance for mid-2026, subject to regulatory review and consultation outcomes.
This timeline aligns with the commencement of FEI's exploration program and establishes a clear regulatory pathway toward the development of Val Vedello and Novazza.
The 2025-2027 exploration program will begin immediately following VIA approval and the issuance of two exploration permits. The initial phase will involve comprehensive collection and analysis of historical geological and mining data, followed by modern geological mapping, structural analysis, and surveying of existing underground access.
If preliminary technical conditions are met, targeted core drilling will be undertaken-primarily within existing mine tunnels-to verify and update resources originally identified by ENI Group companies in the 1960s and 1980s. This work will confirm historical data, remodel the deposits, and support the preparation of maiden Mineral Resource Estimates (MREs) for both projects, in accordance with international reporting and certification standards as determined by CRIRSCO, specifically the NI 43-101 (Canada) and JORC 2012 (Australia) codes.
The historical figures for Val Vedello and Novazza were generated prior to the adoption of modern reporting frameworks and are therefore not compliant with JORC, NI 43-101, or any other recognized code. Zenith Energy's exploration activities are designed to quantify the mineral resources to internationally accredited standards, culminating in independently verified MREs prepared by Qualified Persons (QPs) as defined under NI 43-101 regulations.
To minimise environmental impact and cost, the program will focus on historic-data validation, reactivation of existing underground access, and confirmatory sampling, supplemented by radiometric surveys and NI 43- 101-compliant resource-definition drilling.
Funding for the initial exploration phase, estimated to be capped at approximately US\$5 million over three years, is expected to be provided through Zenith's internal financial resources and strategic investments from institutional funds. The Company is also pursuing Italian and EU subsidies, along with public-sector support under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act, to co-finance exploration activities. No external funding has yet been agreed.
On November 17, 2025, the Company announced the signing of a new agreement to acquire a solar energy development project located in the Puglia region of Italy (the "Puglia Acquisition") by its wholly-owned Italian subsidiary created to manage its solar energy portfolio, WESOLAR S.R.L. ("WESOLAR").
· The Puglia Acquisition strengthens the Company's presence in the region and complements its existing development pipeline in Piedmont and Lazio. Together, these three clusters form a strategically significant
solar development portfolio across some of Italy's most attractive and highly sought-after renewableenergy generation areas.

On November 20, 2025, the Company announced that it has initiated a tender exercise for the construction of a portfolio of solar energy assets in the Puglia region of Italy, with a total installed capacity of 7 MWp.
The first project to be constructed is a 3 MWp PV solar energy project, categorised as Ready-to-Build and with all the necessary permits for the immediate commencement of construction, announced by way of regulatory news on 30 July 2025 ("Andria-1").
The second and third projects to be constructed ("Andria-2" and "Barletta-1") are also located in close proximity to Andria-1. Andria-2 and Barletta-1 are currently in the Development phase and are expected to reach Ready-to-Build status within four months. These assets form part of the acquisition announced on 17 September 2025.
Construction across all three plants-representing a combined installed capacity of approximately 7 MWp-is expected to commence by June 2026.
The land designated for these projects has already undergone comprehensive due diligence by the Company and requires only minimal civil works, resulting in reduced construction costs.
All projects benefit from highly favourable grid-connection conditions and are situated in an area that remains less saturated than other parts of Puglia, specifically within the Province of Barletta-Andria-Trani. These factors provide a clear strategic advantage for the development pipeline that Zenith is advancing in Italy.
The Company will provide updates as appropriate once the tender exercise has concluded and once Ready-to-Build status and all other necessary approvals for construction are obtained for Andria-2 and Barletta-1.
The Company is in advanced negotiations with three different banks to secure construction financing for Andria-1, Andria-2, and Barletta-1.
Zenith expects to finalise an agreement, for an amount equal to up to 90% of the construction costs, by the conclusion of the tender exercise.
On November 25, 2025, the Company provided an update regarding the sale of its fully owned ZEN-260 onshore drilling rig ("ZEN-260").
The Company is currently finalising negotiations for the sale of the ZEN-260, having received two separate offers from prospective buyers valued at approximately US\$2 million.
Zenith expects to complete the sale and receive payment by the end of 2025.
