Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM:MSMN) the helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon exploration, development and production company, announces its final results for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Summary
- Gross Project Production: 47,245 BOE 1 2
- Net Production to Mosman: 16,340 BOE3
- Revenue: AU$186,232
- Gross Profit: AU$76,362
- Net loss for the year: AU$2.1m
Operational overview
- The pivot to focus on helium was achieved with first entry into the USA with the acquisition of a 20% working interest in the Vecta Helium Project, where drilling of five planned helium wells is expected to commence in December 2024.
- Cinnabar project (75% WI) in Texas, USA leases are held by production and has significant Reserves. Technical work is underway to resolve production challenges.
- The two projects in Australia are progressing. At EP-145, land access was obtained from CLC and the Environmental Management Plan has been submitted for approval. At EPA-155, the process to approve the grant of the permit progressed with a meeting held with CLC and native title stakeholders.
Post-period overview
- Completed sale of Stanley project in USA.
- Raised £1.5m by way of a placing and subscription of ordinary shares. This, combined with the Stanley sale enables the Company to fund its share of Vecta drilling 5 wells, acquire seismic a t EP-145 and business development seeking additional helium exploration projects.
- With the focus on helium exploration, appraisal and development and the sale of Stanley area assets, Mosman will no longer be providing quarterly production updates.
Andy Carroll, CEO of Mosman commented: "It has been a significant year for Mosman as we delivered on our corporate plan to turn our focus towards helium opportunities.
"This pivot has been made possible by the hard work of the team who have now built a strong foundation upon which we can now grow the business and capitalise on the exciting opportunities ahead of us.
"I would like to once again thank shareholders for their continued support during a year of significant change and reemphasise our confidence in the future of the business."

Chairman's Statement
We look back with pride on a busy year of transformation and transactions at Mosman Oil & Gas and we believe that it portends more to come as opportunities arise and resources allow.
Strategic move into helium
During the year, the Group completed its strategic review and concluded Mosman would focus on helium opportunities more than conventional natural gas and oil and this strategic pivot into helium was advanced in June 2024 with the acquisition of a 10% interest in the Vecta helium project in USA.
In pivoting to helium Mosman remains firmly focused on exploration, development and production where we apply the technical and commercial skills borne of extensive experience in the hydrocarbon industry that have applications in helium: in the newer more exciting and more valuable markets of helium and hydrogen. As a Group we are proudly opportunistic in our quest for good assets to acquire and commercialise.
Our exit from the Stanley oil & gas assets had been in progress for many months and we were pleased to conclude this disposal in October 2024. Not only did this improve the balance sheet, but with a clear focus on building the Group's helium portfolio, Howard McLaughlin, head of US Operations, can now focus more closely on assessing new helium opportunities with support from Tim Rynott, an experienced helium consultant, who was appointed in September 2024.
Helium, and to a lesser extent hydrogen, have both been long-term targets in our large central Australian exploration blocks. We have historically farmed them out to partners to fund exploration but retained material carried interests. More recently though, when our partner in EP-145 changed its own ambitions, we were happy to buy back and resume control.
Corporate Update
In September 2023, the Board renewal process was completed with my appointment as non-executive Chairman and Carl Dumbrell as a non-executive Director, resulting in a reduction in the number of Directors from four to three; the reduction in executive directors from two to one; and a clearer separation of Board and management with two independent Directors and a Chief Executive Officer.
In Australia, recent activity has highlighted the need to expand the general management resource and we have appointed Dr Julie Daws, who has worked as our consultant geologist for more than 10 years as General Manager of Exploration. Julie has been an anchor and technical lead on the Central Australian assets and a key technical advisor to our CEO. Julie's appointment, combined with Tim Rynott's appointment to support Howard McLaughlin in the US, has resulted in a stronger operational team to deliver on the Group's strategy.
As part of our repositioning, in June we launched a new website alongside refreshed branding to better represent the evolution of Mosman Oil & Gas as a helium focussed company.
Health and Safety update - It is also pleasing to report that no accidents were reported among the Group, underscoring our commitment to maintaining a safe working environment.
Post-Period Events
In September, the Company completed a £1.5m placing that was well supported by the market, this was followed by the completion of the sale of our interest in Nadsoilco LLC in October 2024 and provided Mosman with a healthy cash position which will allow the Company to pursue and progress new projects and provide additional working capital. The Company expects to deploy some of this capital in its forthcoming seismic acquisition in Australia and participating in drilling 5 wells in the USA.
Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to the team, consultants and advisers whose hard work and dedication has been invaluable in helping to drive the company forward in a transformational year.

Chair
Overview of the 2024 Financial Year
The current focus, through the wholly owned subsidiary Mosman Helium Inc, is on acquiring high potential helium assets in the USA to deliver growth by identifying commercial helium resources that can be commercialised and deliver reserves, production and cash flow.
Summary
In the period there were several notable developments:
More than $785,000 was invested in increasing production and progressing exploration during the period.
In October 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a farmout agreement with Greenvale Gold Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenvale Energy Ltd (ASX:GRV) to fund seismic and drilling on its EP-145 project in the Northern Territory of Australia. Upon Completion in April 2024 Mosman retained a 25% working interest in EP-145 and Greenvale had a 75% working interest. Subsequent to year-end, Mosman reached an agreement to acquire the 75% interest in EP-145 from Greenvale Energy Ltd, subject to normal conditions including government approval. This will result in Mosman holding a 100% interest and operational control of EP-145.
The sale of Nadsoilco LLC (which holds the Stanley assets) for consideration of up to US$1.75m was announced in June 2024 and completed subsequent to the financial year end. The final sale terms, as announced on 2 October 2024 were:
- US$500k initial payment (which has been received);
- Two conditional cash payments of US$250k each to be paid within 10 days of end of June 2025, and June 2026 respectively if the gross production rate average for each intervening period is greater than 150 bopd;
- Three additional US$250k payments upon achieving gross aggregate production milestones of 100,000 bbls, 200,000 bbls and 300,000 bbls of oil from the effective date of completion of 1 July 2024.
In June 2024, the Group announced that it had acquired a 10% working interest in a helium project in Las Animas County, Colorado, USA (the "Vecta Helium Project") from Vecta Oil and Gas Ltd, a private company that has explored, drilled and produces helium in Colorado (the "Acquisition").
In the period, primarily due to lower production at Cinnabar, and as set out in the Company's quarterly production updates, annual sales (including from discontinued operations) decreased by 44% to $1,251,551 ($2,252,029 in 2023) and gross profit decreased by 37% to $425,202 ($674,665 in 2023).
Subsequent to the financial year end, a further 10% of the Vecta project was acquired for shares. Vecta Oil & Gas Ltd owns the remaining 80% and operates the project.
USA
Net Production attributable to Mosman in the year to 30 June 2024 was 16,340 boe, compared to 31,067 boe in 2023.
| Gross Project Production 2 BOE 1 | Net Production to Mosman 3 BOE 1 | |
|---|---|---|
| Stanley 4 | 31,500 | 11,503 |
| Cinnabar | 2,494 | 1,869 |
| Livingston 4 | 2,093 | 419 |
| Winters 4 | 5,513 | 1,286 |
| Arkoma | 5,645 | 1,263 |
| Total Production | 47,245 | 16,340 |
1BOE/boe - barrels of oil equivalent
2Gross Project Production - Means the production of BOE at a total project level (100% basis) before royalties (where Mosman is the Operator) and where Mosman is not the operator the total gross production for the project
3Net Production - Net to Mosman's Working Interest; Net Production attributable to Mosman means net to Mosman's Working Interest before royalties
4Projects were disposed of as part of the Nadsoilco LLC sale subsequent to financial year end
The decrease in net production was primarily due to lower production at Cinnabar, which was somewhat offset by increased production at Stanley.
Cinnabar (75% working interest)
The decision was made to recomplete Arco Fee G-3 (formerly known as Cinnabar-1) in a zone that looked promising on wireline logs. The recompleted zone has produced oil with reduced water flow but only flows for a few days before being shut-in to build up pressure.
The other wells continue to produce oil intermittently.
Cinnabar Gross Reserves (BOE):
| Proved Developed Producing | Proved Developed Behind Pipe | Proved Undeveloped | Total Proved | Total Probable | Total Proved Plus Probable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 302,000 | 147,000 | 1,132,000 | 1,581,000 | 65,000 | 1,646,000 |
Stanley (34.85% to 38.5% Working Interests)
Overall production at Stanley declined in the year but is increased in the latter part of the year due to successful workovers. Stanley was sold post the end of the financial period with completion in October 2024.
Livingston (20% Working Interest) and Greater Stanley (40% Working Interest)
These assets were sold with the Stanley assets as noted above.
Arkoma (27% Working Interest)
Production decreased in FY2024. This asset has value when gas prices are high, however due to the gas compression and transport costs it has limited value during current low gas prices. The Company continues to review options for the asset but has not committed additional expenditure.
Winters-2 (23% Working Interest)
Winters-2 continues to produce at rates exhibiting natural decline. These assets were sold with the Stanley assets.
AUSTRALIA
Mosman has continued to conduct technical work on its Central Australian exploration projects in the Amadeus Basin, Northern Territory.
Mosman has estimated gross Prospective Resource volumes for hydrocarbons, helium, and hydrogen associated with the Walker Creek Anticline as a lead within the boundaries of the EP-145 permit using a deterministic approach and applying the SPE PRMS standard.
| Prospective Resources (Bcf) | Low Estimate | Best Estimate | High Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total gas | 12 | 440 | 2,290 |
| Helium | 0.3 | 26.4 | 229 |
| Hydrogen | 0.24 | 26.4 | 275 |
Source: Mosman Oil and Gas Ltd, October 2022
The ongoing exploration work program on EP-145 is to acquire seismic prior to drilling an exploration well. The CLC has conducted a site survey and has approved land access for seismic acquisition.
Other approvals have been applied for the acquisition of 2D seismic in the current permit year prior to identifying a drilling location and drilling an exploration well.
Mosman's other central Australian project is EPA-155 and is subject to a farm out agreement. This permit application is subject to a farmout with the next step being completion of Native Title negotiations.
CORPORATE
Financial Report
In the year to 30 June 2024, the Company made a loss of $2,140,072 (2023: $2,127,198) after loss from discontinued operations of $594,241 (2023: $134,382).
Revenue from continuing operations decreased to $186,232 (2023: $572,174), primarily due to decreased production at Cinnabar.
Gross Profit from continuing operations decreased to $76,362 (2023: $221,295), primarily due to lower production.
Of significance, some $1,097,952 (2023: $2,567,643) was spent on investing activities on assets in the portfolio, including payments towards the Vecta acquisition, further development and workovers for Cinnabar, and workovers for Stanley which led to improved production rates in Q4.
Total asset value increased to $9,450,567 (2023: $8,669,676).
The net proceeds of fundraising activities during the year were $1,859,072 (2023: $1,931,908).
Overhead costs continue to be tightly controlled. Mosman continues to operate with a very small number of Employees and Consultants. The Company operates in two countries and in four-time zones, and the role played by the Employees and Consultants is vital in achieving Mosman's strategic objective.
Outlook
We have successfully pivoted from oil and gas production to helium focused exploration. Mosman has identified opportunities which will provide operating cash flow and have development upside, in conjunction with exploration of existing exploration permits, whilst also being in a position to evaluate further acquisition targets.
We are particularly encouraged by the wide range of early stage helium exploration opportunities in the USA. The Vecta project is a good example of shallow low cost drilling that enables exploration and production without large capital requirements. Other projects are being evaluated that, if acquired, will complement this asset with identified prospects in areas with demonstrated helium production.

1 Statement of Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial report of Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (or "the Company'') and Controlled Entities ("Consolidated entity" or "Group"), are stated to assist in a general understanding of the financial report. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise indicated.
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited is a Company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Basis of Preparation
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Interpretations) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical costs and does not take into account changing money values or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. As at 30 June 2024, the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $2,140,072 during the year ended 30 June 2024 and, as of that date, the group had a cash balance of $873,365.
The financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
In forming this view the directors have taken into consideration the following:
Should the company or the group not able to achieve matters set out above, there is a significant uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 30 October 2024.
Principles of Consolidation and Equity Accounting
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Mosman Oil and Gas Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Mosman Oil and Gas Limited has the ability and right to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities.
Under AASB 11 Joint Arrangements, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Mosman Oil and Gas Limited has a working interest in various joint operations.
Joint ventures
Equity method
The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment in accordance with the policy described in note 1(s).
Use of Estimates and Judgements
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Impairment of Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The key areas of judgement and estimation include:
- Recent exploration and evaluation results and resource estimates;
- Environmental issues that may impact on the underlying tenements;
Taxation
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Income Tax
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
- Discontinued operations
- Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:
- Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included;
- Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and therefore carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount and impairment losses are recognised either in profit or loss, or as a revaluation decrease if the impairment losses relate to a revalued asset. A formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present (refer to Note 1(s) for details of impairment).
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset's employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life to the consolidated group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Where a resource has been identified and where it is expected that future expenditures will be recovered by future exploitation or sale, the impairment of the exploration and evaluation is written back and transferred to development costs. Once production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.
- Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale
An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets and assets of disposal groups to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets and assets of disposal groups, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised.
Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised.
- Accounts Payable
- Contributed Equity
Issued Capital
Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options and warrants are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated based upon the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares. Diluted EPS are calculated as the net loss divided by the weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares.

- Financial Risk Management
- Financial Instruments
Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
Hybrid contracts
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
- financial assets at amortised cost
- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
- debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
- equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
Classifications are determined by both:
- the entity's business model for managing the financial asset
- the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables fall into this category of financial.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL)
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Debt FVOCI)
Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (Equity FVOCI)
Investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading are eligible for an irrevocable election at inception to be measured at FVOCI. Under this category, subsequent movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is taken to profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents return of capital.
Impairment of Financial assets
- Oil and gas assets
- Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset's carrying value. Any excess of the asset's carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement. Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating until to which the asset belongs.
- Employee Entitlements
- Provisions
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
Revenue and Other Income
Revenue from Joint Operations is recognised based on its share of the sale by joint operation.
Business combinations
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the
date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.
Acquisition of Subsidiary Not Deemed a Business Combination
When an acquisition of assets does not constitute a business combination, the assets and liabilities are assigned a carrying amount based on their relative fair values in an asset purchase transaction and no deferred tax will arise in relation to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as the initial exemption for deferred tax under AASB 12 applies. No goodwill will arise on the acquisition and transaction costs of the acquisition will be included in the capitalised cost of the asset.
Foreign Currency Translation
Functional currency
Presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Group's presentation currency.
Functional currency balances are translated into the presentation currency using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Value differences arising from movements in the exchange rate is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
