ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

EP127 Soil Survey Indentifies Strong Helium Values

Highlights

  • Maiden soil survey across 49 sample sites indentified a consistent helium gas value with elevated values, up to twice background, being recorded in the north east of the study area
  • Subsurface seismic mapping shows NW to SE trending faults, near the MacIntyre wells, within the sampling area that are potential migration paths for helium to the surface
  • Findings indicated an active helium system is present within the study area

The Company is pleased to announce positive results from the near surface, helium soil gas sampling program ("soil suvery") at pre-determined sites located within EP127.

The results of this study show regions of helium detected at up to double background levels, these regions also correlate with the known geology of the region, with the existence of a potential source and migration pathways. These findings indicate an active helium system is present within the study area.

The field work was conducted late 2021. The survey consisted of soil gas sampling being undertaken at forty-nine sample sites in EP127, this data was then cross- referenced and analysed in respect of the satellite spectroscopy and the subsurface geology data.

A consistent background helium gas value was established from soil samples. Elevated values, up to twice background, were recorded in the north east of the study area. The field results concur with the sentinel-2 satellite spectroscopy, showing an elevated level of helium on the surface in the same part of the study area, as shown on Figure 1 below.

Subsurface seismic mapping shows NW to SE trending faults, near the MacIntyre wells, within the sampling area that are potential migration paths for helium to the surface. These faults extend from the radiometric basement to the surface.

Figure 1 Summary of the seismic interpretation and field results

The main objectives of the survey was to determine if helium was present in the field area and to field trial the sampling methodology, examine possible emissions from major faults and wells, and compare the spectroscopy results were all met.

Fifty-one points were approved for sampling located on existing tracks throughout an area of approximately 300 square kilometres. Sample points were distributed in a linear arrangement at a spacing of up to approximately two kilometres. Point locations were chosen based on ease of access and the low probability that they would coincide with cultural heritage areas.

As noted above, a consistent background was recorded in the range of 2.3 to 2.8 ppm. Elevated readings were recorded in the vicinity of several NW-SE faults near the McIntyre wells. The presence of variability in the data indicate that helium gas is being generated in the subsurface.

Repeatability of elevated points and consistency of background levels appears to validate the use of the Agilent PHD-4 test equipment which facilitates a low impact and cost-efficient method to further ground truth helium emission.

There appears to be a correlation between the interpreted faulting and the high helium soil gas readings. A denser grid of sampling points is recommended to investigate

further the apparent emission of helium through the faulting in the NE of the survey area. These results give the indication that Helium may be trapped in the subsurface, away from specific recently active faults. Emissions are likely to have liberated through the near surface regolith as well as along the fault plane therefore a course grid with a sampling density 250-500m per sample is suggested. A courser grid of sample points will enhance the conclusion that there is a correlation between near surface faults and the presence of helium in the soil.

FIELD RESULTS

The background reading is believed to be under 3 ppm. The field results are shown below in Table 1 and the raw helium values in ppm in Figure 2. It is important to note that in Figure 2, the zero values have been given background values as a method of removing the outliers. Sample points that were waterlogged recorded reading of zero indicated a complete barrier to helium passage.

conditions

Field results from the maiden Helium Soil Gas Sampling survey are encouraging. Variability in the data is the most encouraging aspect of the results. This has enabled the conclusion that the background He ppm value in the area is anything below 3 ppm but mainly in the 2.3 to 2.8 ppm range. The highest He value recorded in the field is at sample site 41 with 5.5 ppm recorded. This is double the background reading at sample site 40 (2.7 ppm), only 1.7 km away.

The cross section below (Figure 3) clearly shows no correlation between the elevation and the variation in the Helium readings. Helium is therefore independent of topography.

The Company is currently planning further upcoming field work on EP127 and will update shareholders in due course.
