Elixir Energy

Operations Update

Elixir Energy Limited (“Elixir” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an operations update on its 100% owned Grandis and Nomgon projects located in Queensland and Mongolia respectively.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Coiled tubing unit cleaning out Daydream-2 wellbore in preparation for DFITs
  • Significant stimulation and testing program at Grandis on track for April through to June
  • Nomgon Pilot Project continues reservoir de-pressurisation process

Grandis Project

A coiled tubing unit has recently been mobilised and is currently cleaning out the Daydream-2 cased wellbore.

Coiled tubing unit at Daydream-2

This cleanout is a pre-cursor to the Diagnostic Formation Integrity Test (DFIT) program which will follow shortly thereafter. The results of this DFIT program will then be used to optimize the subsequent stimulation and flow testing phases of Daydream-2, which will run from April through to around June.

The detailed design of the stimulation and testing program has now been finalized, with a total of 6 zones to be stimulated. These zones cover ~47 metres of pay out a total of 245 metres (being the final sandstone net pay of 180 metres and coals of 65 metres) recorded in the Daydream 2 wellbore (19% of the total net interval). The sandstone net pay advised to the market on 14 December 2023 of 154 metres has been revised upwards following an external independent expert review.

The zones selected represent a cross-section of permeable sands, tight sands and coals. The total zones being tested in Daydream-2 are guided by the key principle of maximizing useful data acquisition from an appraisal well – that would then inform how future development wells would be designed.

In such future development wells, much greater pay would likely be stimulated and flowed. The results from the stimulation program in Daydream-2 will guide the targeting of further zones in future wells and can be extrapolated over the entire gas prone intervals.

The stimulation program, to be conducted by global leading contractor Halliburton, will be followed by a series of flow tests in May and June.

Nomgon Project

In conjunction with this intense program in Queensland, operations also continue at the Nomgon Pilot Project in Mongolia. In Mongolia, the current key objective is to continue to de-pressurise the gas- bearing coal reservoir through the ongoing pumping of water therefrom.

Recently one of the pilot wells, Nomgon-10, was worked over, with a larger downhole pump installed. Increased water rates have already been observed. Elixir’s engineers are actively managing the Pilot Plant to maximise water production and therefore accelerate the time to reach desorption pressure. Data analysis from the Nomgon field indicates that steady progress is being made in reducing the reservoir pressure required to reach the gas desorption pressure.

Eric Nuttall: Oil vs. Natural Gas Stocks, Plus 2025 Prices, Supply and Demand

Eric Nuttall, partner and senior portfolio manager at Ninepoint Partners, shares his outlook for oil and natural gas, honing in on supply, demand and prices.

Global uncertainty has placed pressure on the oil market, and Nuttall said for that reason he sees natural gas stocks outperforming oil stocks in the near term.

Oil Price and Inflation: What’s the Correlation?

Oil Price and Inflation: What’s the Correlation?

When oil prices plunged to four-year lows this year, many analysts immediately turned to the inflation narrative, dusting off the long-held belief that where oil prices go, inflation follows.

But this time, the correlation isn't as straightforward.

Brent crude fell to US$58.62 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) to US$55.38 in early April of 2025, marking a sharp decline of over 21 percent since January. The slump was driven by a mix of soft global demand, US–China trade tensions, and an unexpected about-face by OPEC+ to increase output after previously committing to production cuts.

The downturn marked a significant shift in sentiment from earlier in Q1, when prices rallied on geopolitical jitters and hopes of tighter supply.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: TAG Oil Posts 76 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

South of the border, cooling rhetoric from the Trump administration led a relatively quiet news week.

Markets were volatile at the start of the week, however, after US President Donald Trump suggested on April 17 that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s “termination couldn’t come fast enough.” The president softened his stance on Tuesday (April 22), saying he has no intention of firing the head of the US central bank, but called him a “major loser.”
