HUSSAR EP513 FUNDING PROPOSAL

Harlequin Energy Limited ("Harlequin") has presented a proposal to Georgina Energy PLC ("GEX") to provide the funding to drill at Hussar EP513 for the recovery of Helium, Hydrogen and Natural Gas.

The proposal would involve Harlequin funding and entering into a Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) for the drilling of the well, including logistics and planning thereof. This will involve working with Georgina's engineering consultants, Aztec Well Construction and coordinating with one of the world leaders in oilfield services who have been engaged by Harlequin.

This proposal is conditional upon agreeing terms and the execution of a formal JOA on the commercial terms for the drilling at EP513, as well as full technical and economic due diligence of the EP513 Hussar License to the sole satisfaction of Harlequin and its advisors.

The drilling approval of the Hussar well, has seen the Company prepare logistics for 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 has always expressed the potential for off-take funding to develop both Hussar and Mt Winter which along with the recently announced acquisitions from Central Petroleum of Mt Kitty, Dukas and Magee presents the company with the opportunity to become a significant participant in the extraction of Helium and Hydrogen and Natural Gas."

Matt Thompson Chairman of Harlequin Energy, commented– this is a further major milestone, which we are delighted to have achieved alongside the management of Georgina Energy. We have already started working internally and with our partners on the next steps on this exciting project and to ensure that this is successful and safe development which fully exploits all of the potential developments available.

PRESS RELEASE

HARLEQUIN ENERGY PROVIDE PROOF OF FUNDS FOR

HELIUM AND HYDROGEN PROJECTS IN AUSTRALIA

As per the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") that was signed with Georgina Energy PLC ("GEX") on a non-exclusive basis in August 2024. Harlequin Energy ("Harlequin") are pleased to announce that they have now provided the required Proof of Funds required under the terms of the MOU.

The MOU with GEX will provide Harlequin with the exclusive option to acquire the rights to 100% of the helium, hydrogen and natural gas produced by GEX from their two gas redevelopments at Hussar and Mount Winter.

The required backing was provided by a Colorado based family office, with investments and assets under management of over nine billion dollars and who have been a long-term partner of Harlequin as a provider of long term committed capital. The backer is privately held and invests across the full spectrum of oil and gas, real estate and banking. They have executed numerous high value transactions with both public and private companies in the US, Canada, Western Europe and the Middle East.

The family has been active in the oil and gas business for more than three generations through their own independent oil company, which has been active as an operator both onshore and offshore energy exploration and development in the U.S., Canada and the Eastern Mediterranean. This includes deep-water drilling and development in the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Alongside this relationship comes relationships with top tier banks who will also provide the required project finance and long-term debt needed to deliver the required infrastructure for the development of both Hussar and Mount Winter.

As per the required next steps, the management of Harlequin will be finalising the terms of the MOU on an exclusive basis, as well as setting out the timeframes and milestones for the development of the Hussar and Mount Winter assets, which are operated by GEX.

Hussar, located in Western Australia's Officer Basin, and Mount Winter in the Amadeus Basin, Northern Territory, are recognised as prospects of significant national importance. With proven reserves and the required drilling applications underway, both sites have the potential to deliver significant volumes of natural gas, helium and hydrogen.

As the projects are developed, Harlequin will be responsible for the delivery of processing facilities, including separation units for helium and hydrogen. Once operational, Harlequin will be solely responsible for storage, transport, export of the produced gases.

This major milestone with GEX will enable the Parties to jointly develop the required next steps. On this basis, Harlequin have already engaged with one of the world leaders in oilfield services to start a paid study, which will focus on exploration reviews, drilling and completions, transportation of produced gases, development options and field economics.
