Press Release

Extraordinary Meeting of the Council of Ministers on November 22nd, 2025

The Council of Ministers met at the Government Palace in Dili and decided to grant full powers to the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Francisco da Costa Monteiro, to sign, on behalf of the Government, the Cooperation Agreement with Woodside Energy, Ltd. on the TLNG1 (Timor-Leste Liquefied Natural Gas from Timor-Leste) and the Greater Sunrise Field Pipeline and Development.

This agreement is part of the Government's strategic efforts to enhance the value of national natural resources, in accordance with the 2011-2030 Strategic Development Plan, and marks a significant step towards the joint technical, commercial, and regulatory assessment of a future LNG facility in Timor-Leste. Negotiations carried out by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources with Woodside Energy, the rights holder for the Greater Sunrise field, have established the necessary conditions to formalise this cooperation, which will facilitate further studies essential to the project's development.

With this decision, the Government is advancing with the realisation of a vision that aims to strengthen national energy industrialisation, promote economic diversification, and ensure that the use of Greater Sunrise resources directly contributes to national development.

Think the long term deal (CP Ceo expect to complete share distro - late 2026) is a good deal look at what GEX gets in return, with much bigger players like Santos (operator - Darwin owner) in the mix, GEX just have to pay their way, while others do the work. Plus decent % of each asset to GEX, with Dukas an

absolute monster. 👍

Simple equation really depending on Diamond returns

Same old Same old, confetti city

Some excess to bring the PF back to life

BOOM Gemstones £m war chest to expand all operations

We would all like to see option 3 BUT from recent negative funding RNA updates over GNW/rns, option 2 would be great

Nobody want's to see Diamonds sold and Vast still be AP's long time option 1 😲🙄

Debt around $11 - $12 Million

Romania currently inactive

Tajikistan, % payment for assistance deals, still no word on if sales so far have given any profit to Vast/Gulf, or just kept the lights on

Unless the debt, is well eaten into by the Diamonds, it will remain an Albatross around VAST's market neck, little to no revenues and a ceo

who has historically, lived and breathed confetti placings for 12 years, making ZERO progress that can be quantified so far.......GLA

Could it YES, FUNDING permitting.......

Romania - BPPM and Manalia mines back to ops, development of Blueberry and Hanes Gold

Zimbabwe - A return to mining more Diamonds with Gov's ZCDC

Tajikistan

Deals already with Tacob/Talco metals, Aprelevka Gold/Silver, expansion plans for a % , option to buy in at asset level

CM/REE AP represented Taj at the recent Ministerial Forum, can he pull, one out of the hat......

So not all total doom and gloom BUT before any of that can be done, debt needs controlling and better finances in place.......GLA

That last Mt Winter RNA update from August.......

Georgina has been informed that the ALRA agreement will be completed by the CLC following its current priority work on a new production agreement for the Mereenie Oil and Gas Field. The Mereenie Oil and Gas Field, located approximately 70 km east of the Mt Winter re-entry project, holds a rich history as the largest onshore oil and gas field in mainland Australia at the time of its discovery in 1964. Since commencing production in 1984, the field has consistently delivered, with over 17 million barrels of oil and around 280 billion cubic feet of gas produced to date.

The forthcoming ALRA agreement will also incorporate Mt Winter-1 and two additional historical wells drilled on EPA155, both under active review for their sequential re-entry potential. In parallel, recent reprocessing and re-mapping of the existing seismic data has significantly expanded the prospective resource target area within EPA155, resulting in a 38% increase in 2U/P50 recoverable resources.

GEX no longer a one trick pony

Hussar

Mt Winter

Dukas

Magee

and here Kitty Kitty

5 outstanding assets, for re-entry and Hydrogen/Helium-4/Helium-3, on top of lots of Natural Gas.

Anthony Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:

"The Company remains confident in finalising the ALRA agreement, which will include the decision to accelerate the Mt Winter re-entry. While the new Mereenie production agreement has caused a brief delay, we continue to work in partnership with the CLC and the Traditional Owners to expedite an agreement and unlock the expanded potential of EPA155.

127,593,987 shares in issue, todays volume 710,000 pathetic, bring on next week and fingers crossed, further RNA updates on drill/production plans at Hussar and the long awaited, Mt Winter news, Winter RNA about 3 1/2 months ago, said news close.........GLA

Unless completely delusional, one common fact across the market, what is said and done on these boards, has no bearing or material effect on anything.

Likewise the many conspiracy theories and CODES, are all the domain of the clueless 🤡🤡🤡🤡 on both sides of the divide.

The market will move, when the market decides to move, the previous post, the two companies and the rest of the world knew, for 13 hours.

The rise did not happen until the 3pm release......... 😲

Thinking probably more chance of you walking outside and tripping over the pope, ASI, the ex Diamond trader, has many times laid out the process for these tender auctions. Plus the slow NOMAD, all data would have to be fed back to compile and approve an RNA update release over GNW/rns wires.

It goes into their queue and takes as long as it takes.

EG, An ASX release a while ago 2am UK time, it took the 2 Nomads involved with the 2 uk listed companies involved until 3pm (13 hours later) to release

a co-ordinate a COPY & PASTE of the Aussie release........ 🙄

Will be sells showing as buys also, every colour code and buy/sell/unknown label is a GUESS by 3rd party sites like this one, the worlds markets

do not label, considering all TRADES printed as being both a buy and sell.

Making stats/ratio's on most share, worthless daily........GLA

Matters little at the moment, as the volume is NOTHING at the moment, bring on next week and more news flow........GLA

Also in that article, looks like ZCDC has found a decent Gemstone, rare as rocking horse poop at Marange, giving some hope, that remaining set of stones to go to market, might have a a real GEM hidden away for 20 years in the RBC Vaults........GLA

A large diamond was mined by ZCDC at Chiadzwa has found its way at the Dubai Diamond Exchange, were it is being auctioned, hence Zimbabwe needs to maintain its Kimberly Process Certification in order to have unfettered access to these global markets, essential for growth and development of the national economy.

From 2 days ago, ZCDC our partner, if we ever return to Zimbabwe to mine more Diamonds.......GLA

https://www.zbcnews.co.zw/dubai-diamond-exchange-boosts-market-access-for-zimbabwes-rough-diamonds/

Zimbabwe’s diamonds, marketed primarily through the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC), pass through this hub under established partnerships with auctioneers such as Transatlantic Gem Sales (TGS) and Taurum.

“This is Transatlantic Gem Sales, and we handle gems from Zimbabwe. When the gems arrive here, we sort them out, as you can see, where we examine them for impurities so that we properly classify them. Once the process is done, as you can see, we there out a tender calling out for buyers to come and buy the diamonds through an auction,” Director of the Transatlantic Gem Sales, Anthony Peter said.

Buyers from Surat in India have examined the gems before buying, including ones from Zimbabwean diamonds, for years.

Zimbabwe is determined to get value from its mineral resources and forge ahead with national development.

“As the ZCDC, we have managed to create our own loyal auctioneers here in Dubai, such as Trans Atlantic and Taurum, and it is essential that we have access to these critical markets and relationships here in Dubai to get value for money for our diamonds, which are critical in developing the economy,” CEO Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company, Dr Douglas Zimbango said.

Some juicy names on that list of potentials.......GLA

Still a good read. Things have progressed for Georgina since........GLA

Georgina Energy's Multi-Basin Strategy

UK-listed Georgina Energy has established a significant position in Australia's helium landscape through its wholly owned subsidiary Westmarket Oil & Gas. The company is pursuing a two-pronged approach with major projects in different geological settings:

Hussar Project: Located in Western Australia's Officer Basin

Mt Winter Project: Situated in the Northern Territory's Amadeus Basin

Together, these projects represent a prospective combined recoverable helium resource of approximately 430 billion cubic feet, positioning Georgina as a potential major supplier to global markets. The company has already received expressions of interest for helium offtake, including proposals where the offtaker would finance downstream processing facilities for helium/hydrogen separation and purification.

Central Petroleum's Amadeus Basin Focus

Central Petroleum (ASX: CTP) has identified significant helium potential within its Amadeus Basin permits in the Northern Territory. Independent consultants have confirmed helium grades as high as 9% in subsalt zones, representing exceptional concentration levels compared to global benchmarks.

The company's strategic advantage lies in its established operational presence in the region and existing natural gas infrastructure that could potentially be leveraged for helium extraction. Central Petroleum is actively assessing commercialization pathways as part of its long-term strategy to diversify beyond traditional hydrocarbon resources.

As posted many times, covering the debt (around $11.5m) in itself will be a right royal result for AP.

Marange prices, not Namibia prices, which are generally SEVEN time higher than Zimbabwe

Here an example of and been a few of them over the years, with Minister bemoaning prices they have sold for at various auctions, in recent years, Zimbabwe/ZCDC has been Dubai and 8 - 10 auctions a year.

A previous Dubai sale in April realised US$76 per carat and raised US$30 million, with US$4.39 million earmarked for Zimbabwe's Treasury. The comparatively ambitious projected figure of US$100 per carat suggests that the sale in Dubai is expected to turn up better quality of stones this time round. A positive sign perhaps, but it's unlikely that Zimbabweans will be holding their breath.

Following the Dubai sale in April, the Minister of Finance complained that Dubai was too slow in sending dues back to Zimbabwe, reportedly going so far as to say "[Dubai] failed the test... Why would we continue selling our diamonds in Dubai under such conditions?"

In another a similar tale, Minister hoped for $105 per carat , and got $82

Earlier this year the Minister said, prices have shown signs of a recovery since late 2024, if so , if we can get close to $100 ct for the entire parcel (135 kct)

that would still be a great result, the potential VAST transformation, is the REMOVAL OF DEBT, nothing more, nothing less, anything above and beyond

is a BONUS..........glalth.

Antimony is on the list, along with rare earths, natural rubber and several hard-to-find metals. Each has irreplaceable characteristics in strategic sectors of the economy, with ­supply chains controlled by a limited number of actors.

According to the European Commission, 54% of the EU’s antimony imports come from Tajikistan.

Its price hit a record high last year when China introduced export restrictions.

Tajikistan is banking on the new ­minerals rush to fund industrialisation.

Wracked by civil wars in the 1990s, it still has one of the weakest economies across the former Soviet Union. Portraits of veteran national leader Emomali Rakhmon, in power since 1992, loom over the Talco miners, along with extracts of his speeches.

“Significant reserves of raw materials ensure accelerated industrialisation,” one of them reads.

Article today on Tajikistan Antimony, in the header says Tacob (Gold) leading the charge in country. Vast/Gulf already have a deal with Tacob/Talco for metals, its expansion of Antimony new assets and production, could Taj Minister AP, get in on some of the action ?

China – which operates the Saritag mine jointly with a Tajik enterprise – is ­dominant in the sector but Russia, the European Union, the United States and Gulf states are all scrambling to secure a share.

“There are many antimony deposits in Tajikistan,” said Murad Dzhumazoda, ­deputy director of Talco Gold, which ­produces 10% of global supply.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), China ­represents nearly half of the world’s antimony production, ­followed by Tajikistan with a quarter – around 21,000 tonnes.

Antimony can be found both in open cast quarries and through deep mining in tunnels, Dzhumazoda explained, speaking over the clatter of new vehicles and rock-crushing equipment from Chinese, Finnish and Swedish manufacturers.

Concerned that allowing rivals to ­control the mineral supply chain could threaten its economic sovereignty, the European Union is monitoring 34 ­elements designated “critical raw ­materials”.

Antimony is on the list, along with rare earths, natural rubber and several hard-to-find metals.

Just down AP's street ANTI-MONEY making over the past 12 years....... 😉😅

Also more on this weeks Malaysian visitors

She said ASEAN membership will also boost the nation's business credentials as it signals to investors that there is potential in Timor-Leste.

The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation, or MATRADE, is leading a business delegation to Dili from Nov 17 to 21 to strengthen Malaysian-Timorese economic ties following Timor-Leste's accession to ASEAN.

A total of 19 Malaysian companies, including those in education, food industry, and OIL AND GAS-RELATED SERVICES, are joining the delegation, according to a MATRADE news release.

Budget was already approved today.
