Natural Gas Properties

The Group held unproved natural gas properties as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, amounting to

$264,156,414 and $230,119,448, respectively. These amounts reflect the Group’s exploration and evaluation projects,

which are pending the determination of proven and probable reserves and were not being depleted for the six months ended

December 31, 2024, and 2023. These assets will be reclassified to proven gas properties upon commencement of

production and then subsequently depleted.

In October 2024, the Group lodged an amended income tax return for the year ended June 30, 2023 claiming eligible

R&D expenditure for EP 136, which resulted in a cash refund of $6,168,698 in December 2024.

During the six months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Group recognized no impairment

related to unproved natural gas properties.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group held property, plant and equipment, including leasehold improvements, as of December 31, 2024 and

June 30, 2024, amounting to $222,898 and $102,244, respectively.

Assets Under Construction

In April 2024, the Group began to execute agreements for long lead items required for the SPCF in the Beetaloo

Basin. These items included essential plant components comprising of a compressor and dehydration unit that would

convert future raw gas to meet sales gas quality, subject to the terms of definitive development agreements. During the six

months ended December 31, 2024, the Group completed detailed design of the SPCF and received approval of the

Environmental Management Plan (EMP). The Group held total assets under construction related to the SPCF as of

December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 of $11,850,337 and $7,542,064 respectively.

The 40 TJ/d (39 MMcf/d) SPCF is expected to be connected to the Amadeus Gas Pipeline (“AGP”) via the

construction of the 35-kilometer Sturt Plateau Pipeline (“SPP”) subject to achieving project milestones.

Assets Classified as Held for Sale

In October 2024, the Group completed the disposal of rig 403 at a price of $8,500,000, on which the Group paid a

sales commission of 6%. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Group recognized a loss on assets held for

sale of $376,000 to reduce the asset to the lower of its carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell (determined

based on the sales price above). No gain or loss was recognized on the sale of the rig during the three months ended

December 31, 2024 as it had already been reduced to the fair value less costs to sell in the prior quarter.

No other assets remain held for sale as of December 31, 2024.
