Main seismic line N83-006 giving access to the Hussar drilling site requires minimal grading and widening.
The Company has received formal quotation for the supply of a suitable drill rig, together with camp facilities at Hussar EP513. Representatives of the drilling company will meet with Georgina's technical team within the next 7 days to review the planned drilling programme and timeline.
In addition, a formal quotation has been received for a water well drilling rig. The water well drilling is a critical component of the Hussar drilling programme; a dependable water supply is essential for the make-up water for drilling fluids, ablutions, road watering and cleaning. The proposed contractors will carry out repairs to the access roads and airstrip imminently, following a reconnaissance visit. The formal quotation will enable the rapid mobilisation of the water well drilling rig and support service companies to site to for the efficient evaluation of the two main subsalt reservoir targets: the Townsend Formation and the fractured Neoproterozoic basement lithologies.
The Company is working with another mineral explorer in the district to share the costs of equipment, crew mobilisation and demobilisation for repair of the access roads and airstrip.
Further images will be provided and posted on the Georgina Website for shareholders to view.
The Company's technical consultants, Aztech Well Construction, have issued additional RFQs in support of the planned drilling programme including for casing, wellhead, and service company support for electric logging, casing running and cementing, drilling fluid engineering, wellsite geology, mudlogging and gas sampling/laboratory analysis services.
The drilling and completion programme, site infrastructure, airstrip and access route civil works, which includes the water well drilling required to develop Hussar into a producing asset, will be funded solely by Harlequin Energy and their partners in a structured Offtake funding arrangement that is non-dilutive for Georgina shareholders. Civic engineering for access and site works are anticipated to commence in late Q1 or Q2, 2026, with drill testing expected in Q3 2026.
Anthony Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:
"The Company is confident in undertaking the necessary preparatory planning and civil engineering works required to enable the drill testing of this exciting prospect in Q3, 2026. With 300 km2 of areal closure, the Hussar prospect is one of the largest subsalt Helium, Hydrogen and Hydrocarbons prospects in onshore Australia."

Notes to Editors
Georgina Energy aims to become a leading player in the global energy market and is focused on establishing itself among the top producers of Helium and Hydrogen worldwide. With a strategic approach and leveraging the experienced management team's expertise, Georgina Energy aims to capitalize on opportunities in these critical energy sectors.
Georgina Energy has two principal onshore interests held through its wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Westmarket O&G. The first, the Hussar Prospect is located in the Officer Basin in Western Australia and Westmarket O&G holds a 100% working interest in the exploration permit. The second, the EPA155 Mt Winter Prospect, is located in the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory, subject to completion of the Sale Agreement Georgina Energy will hold a 100% working interest. Additional subsalt prospect re-entry opportunities (Mt Kitty and Dukas prospects) into known Helium, Hydrogen and Hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory with drilled occurrences of high concentrations of these gases (up to 9.5%, 11% and 40% respectively) are expected to be acquired via imminent settlement of a Sale and Purchase Agreement with the current owners, ASX listed Central Petroleum Limited.
In line with market demand trends, Georgina Energy is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing gap between supply and demand for hydrogen and helium with the resource potential of EPA155 Mt Winter, EP513 Hussar and the Mt Kitty and Dukas projects for their potential accumulations.
