EP 145 Update
Helium and Hydrogen project work programme now underway with Greenvale Energy
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: MSMN) the helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon exploration, development and production company, has received notification of an extension to the EP 145 Permit by the NT Government until 21 February 2027 and a six month suspension of the Year 3 work program conditions to 21 February 2025. At the end of this initial five year term, the participants can apply for a further five years. EP 145 is an exploration permit in Australia in which Mosman holds a 25% interest. The Operator, Greenvale Energy Ltd ("Greenvale") continues to progress exploration with the next activity being acquisition of seismic, followed by drilling in 2025.
Background to EP145
Two wells have been drilled in EP 145 that encountered hydrocarbons and were not tested for hydrogen or helium. Most wells in the Amadeus Basin that have been tested for helium have significant helium content.
Pursuant to the Farmin Agreement, Greenvale earnt 75% by funding the seismic program and the drilling of one well up to a cap of AUD $5.5 million.
A seismic data set was reprocessed by Mosman and a large extension of the Mereenie anticline structure was identified. Mosman published a Prospective Resource estimate for EP-145 in October 2022 (detailed below).

As Greenvale, Mosman's farmin partner and operator of the EP 145 project, note in its ASX announcements, EP 145:
· Sits within recognised play fairways for helium and hydrogen;
· Contains proven hydrocarbon discoveries;
· Lies on-trend with the producing Mereenie Oil & Gas Field;
· Is close to existing pipeline infrastructure that provides opportunity for early commercialisation.
