SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON — GEORGINA ENERGY RNS
Nov 2024 vs Dec 2025
1️⃣ HUSSAR DRILLING OPERATIONS
What they said in Nov 2024
“On target to commence operations in December” (2024)
Very specific: casing inspection, pressure test, and preliminary work scheduled and funded.
Site visit (24–27 Nov) already organised to support drill approval.
They stated Hussar work programme was fully funded.
What they say in Dec 2025
No drilling has taken place.
No casing inspection, no pressure test, no re-entry.
No rig mobilisation.
Now “completing negotiations” with Harlequin for funding the drilling program.
Planning and logistics are still being prepared (airstrip repairs, access roads, drill pad).
Direct Contradiction
In 2024: “On target to commence drilling in December + fully funded.”
In 2025: Still negotiating for funding, still planning, no operations started.
➡ A full year of slippage, and funding claims reversed.
2️⃣ RIG AVAILABILITY
Nov 2024
No mention of needing a partner to source a rig — because they said drilling was imminent and funded.
Dec 2025
Harlequin “advised they have access to a rig” in Western Australia.
Georgina still has to review it.
Meaning
A year later, they are not only without a rig, but they haven’t even selected one yet.
3️⃣ MT WINTER (EP155)
Nov 2024
CLC ratification expected Dec 2024.
They stated seismic and mapping work was ongoing under the funded work programme.
Dec 2025
Still “continued progress” toward release of the agreement.
Still negotiating funding via offtake partners.
Meaning
Regulatory approval expected in Dec 2024 is still pending in Dec 2025.
And again, funding is suddenly needed — contradicting “fully funded” claim in 2024.
4️⃣ FARM-IN / JV / TARGETS
Nov 2024
Multiple NDAs signed.
Talking to two companies for “potential farm-in rights.”
These appeared active and near-term.
Dec 2025
No mention of these NDAs.
No farm-in deals concluded.
Still only “in discussions” with off-takers and JV partners for funding.
Meaning
Talks from 2024 have not led to any formal agreements in 2025.
5️⃣ SCOPING STUDY
Nov 2024
First draft of major conceptual scoping study due January 2025.
Dec 2025
No update.
Not mentioned at all.
No findings, no results, no progress.
Meaning
Either the study was:
completed and shelved,
delayed indefinitely, or
abandoned,
and the market was not updated.
6️⃣ FUNDING POSITION
Nov 2024
“The Company is fully funded”
For Hussar, Mt Winter work programme, and G&A.
They raised £4.2m and stated this covered everything required.
Dec 2025
“Negotiations… to fund the drilling program.”
“In discussions… to provide funding for the re-entry.”
Direct Contradiction
In 2024, they insisted funding was secure.
In 2025, they are dependent on third parties
