Under the terms of the ALRA the Company intends to expedite the prospect re-entry and development program for the highly prospective Mt Winter project along with its Hussar project in the Officer Basin which is currently being prepared for a drilling program. The Mt Winter permit EP155 has been under unsuccessful application for over 16 years when held by previous companies. Georgina will complete the settlement with Mosman Oil & Gas including the payment of A$300,000 (from current working capital) on granting by the Minister of the permit.

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

"The Company is very pleased with the outcome and wishes to thank Bob Liddle (OAM), our Indigenous Consultant and the Georgina team for their tireless work in consultation with the CLC and Traditional Owners in the negotiation and finalisation of the EP155 ALRA Agreement.

This is an important step toward the granting of EP155 and our planned re-entry and development programme at Mt Winter. The Company now has two active development workstreams, with Mt Winter progressing toward formal grant and Hussar advancing through pre-drill civil engineering works ahead of the planned Q3 2026 drilling programme."
