Cascadura development and compression
CR-3 went onstream on 28 March at about 2.2 MMcf/d with an inflow restriction. The coiled tubing cleanout and acid stimulation was completed in August and early September (update of 14 Sep 2026) but gave only a limited response and did not cure the drilling damage. The company now plans an uphole Karamat completion in October 2026.

Equity raise and loan covenant
October 2025 placing completed. The lender waived only the 2025 covenant test; on 4 June 2026 the company launched a US$10-15m raise at 7p, with a 2026 debt service waiver, and announced initial US$10.9m proceeds on 5 June. With Q2 results on 14 August 2026, the $8.4m debenture was repaid after quarter-end and redirected into Purebond's subscription for 89,765,000 shares, so the financing is fully equity. Net debt was $68.71m, the working capital deficit $28.7m and going-concern doubt remains.
