Hussar EP513 Drilling Approval Update

Georgina Energy Plc, GEX.L, announces that, following its RNS dated 14th July, it has submitted a revised Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to support the formal approval of its Well Management Plan for drilling activity at Hussar EP513.

HUSSAR EP513 Approval Update

Westmarket Oil & Gas Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, has been engaged with the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration in Western Australia ("DMPE", formerly "DEMIRS"), in consultation with the Traditional Owners (MNR) and the Central Desert Native Titles Services (CDNTS) to ensure final drilling approval is granted as required pursuant to regulation 13(1)c of the Resource Management and Administration Regulations (RMAR). The Company is confident the DMPE will issue the requested drilling approval in short order.

The process is a significant undertaking by all parties to ensure compliance and involves multiple submissions which are then reviewed by the relevant regulators with any additional information to be submitted on request.

While this process has been lengthy, the ultimate outcome is access to the Hussar wellsite. The initial programme calls for the Company to undertake repairs at the Hussar Airstrip and access roads, and begin to construct drilling and camp location pads together with water wells in preparation for drilling.

Anthony Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:

"Georgina's operations team and consultants have worked closely in cooperation with indigenous community representatives over a considerable period to ensure all the required obligations for the granting of the Hussar drilling approval are completed. We appreciate our shareholders' patience in this process as it has been impacted by matters beyond our control such as unforeseen amendments, including an increased resource area, and a once in 80-year flooding weather event."
