the proposal includes the entering of a JOA that includes all associated
logistics and planning. This will involve working with Georgina's engineering
consultants, Aztec Well Construction, as well as coordinating with an Industry
leading global oilfield Services Company who have been engaged by Harlequin.
This proposal remains subject to the finalisation and execution of a formal
JOA and agreed commercial terms for the drilling at EP513, as well as the
completion of full technical and economic due diligence of the EP513 Hussar
License to the sole satisfaction of Harlequin and its advisors. Also, the

Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, has secured
drilling approval from the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration in
Western Australia ("DMPE", formerly "DEMIRS"), following consultation with the
Traditional Owners (MNR) and the Central Desert Native Titles Services (CDNTS)
pursuant to regulation 13(1)c of the Resource Management and Administration
Regulations (RMAR).
Following the approval for drilling the Hussar well, the Company has commenced
logistical preparations including repairs at the airstrip, access roads and
planning of the drill pad and site locations for the drilling rig and crew,
along with other critical elements of operational planning.
Anthony Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:
"Georgina is pleased to announce Harlequin's proposal for Hussar EP513.
Georgina has highlighted the potential for offtake funding to develop both
Hussar and Mt Winter which, combined with the recently announced acquisitions
from Central Petroleum of Mt Kitty, Dukas and Magee, positions the Company to
become a significant player in the extraction of helium and hydrogen and
natural gas.
Georgina has a clear strategy to advance both Hussar and Mt Winter whilst
taking advantage of opportunities that build portfolio diversification which
the recent proposed acquisition will do. This strategy establishes multiple
catalysts for the Company in 2026 and beyond. I look forward to reporting
further developments."
