Daydream-2 Flare
The results from this well greatly exceeded our pre-drill expectations on multiple fronts:
Work is now well underway in analysing and integrating the extensive data gathered to optimize the imminent stimulation and flow testing program.
Laboratory work on various cuttings obtained from sandstone and coal intervals is due to be finalized and reported on shortly.
Extensive samples collected by Daydream-2 mudlogging unit are now under lab analysis
Multiple stakeholder engagement and securing the support of local communities for the areas in which we operate is a key priority for Eliixr. In that light, Elixir’s Board was pleased to meet with representatives of the Mandandanji people and execute an enduring Cultural Heritage Management Agreement (CHMA) This provides a framework under which future work in the broader Grandis Project can be managed effectively from all parties point of view.

Elixir Energy (ASX:EXR) is a gas exploration and development company currently focused on its portfolio of natural gas and hydrogen assets in Mongolia and in Queensland, Australia. As an early mover in Mongolia, Elixir Energy is the first company ever to flow gas in the country.
The clean hydrogen market is rapidly emerging and is expected to become an ever-expanding part of the global energy mix by 2030. This projection sets the stage for Elixir Energy to reach production from its in-development Gobi H2 hydrogen project in Mongolia and have an early mover advantage in a sector that is attracting global attention from the world’s largest companies.
Elixir Energy recently began developing the Gobi H2 green hydrogen project in Mongolia. The project has exceptional renewable resource inputs and the potential to become a world-class hydrogen asset. The company has a maturing 50/50 partnership with Japan’s Terras Energy in this project which earlier this year moved to the point of Term Sheet execution.
There are two compelling advantages to developing hydrogen assets in Mongolia: access to very high quality renewable energy and proximity to the emerging hydrogen market in China – likely to be the world’s largest. In addition, Elixir Energy has the long-term potential to deliver hydrogen to China by pipeline rather than by boat, a significant cost advantage as development progresses.
In addition to the Gobi H2 hydrogen project, Elixir Energy’s Nomgon coal-bed methane (CBM) project is also located in Mongolia.
The Nomgon CBM project is in the South Gobi region of Mongolia and on the Chinese/Mongolian border. The ideal location of the asset provides access to excellent infrastructure, including planned pipelines and local mines as customers. The Nomgon project includes a CBM pilot production plant, which earlier this year passed an important milestone of 200,000 standard cubic feet per day (SCFPD)
Recent flare at the Nomgon plant.
In Queensland, Elixir Energy acquired the Grandis Gas project last year and is currently moving towards drilling the Daydream-2 appraisal well in October 2023, that will seek to materially increase contingent resources, possibly book initial reserves and confirm liquids content.
The company is led by a team of managers with direct experience in Australia and Mongolia and expertise in the natural resources industry, community engagement and working with government stakeholders.
The Gobi H2 project aims to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the clean hydrogen market. The project is ideally located for cost-effective transportation, and the company is aiming to enter into FEED for an initial pilot plant.
Elixir Energy’s 100-percent-owned coal-bed methane (CBM) project is ideally located in the South Gobi region of Mongolia. This location gives the asset access to robust local infrastructure and close access to Chinese energy markets – the world’s largest.
The company’s asset in Queensland, Australia, covers approximately 1,000 square kilometers in an established oil and gas province. The project is well-suited for cost-effective transportation to domestic and international oil markets.
Richard Cottee was appointed as the non-executive chairman of the company on April 29, 2019. Cottee was the managing director of coal-seam-gas(CSG)-focused Queensland Gas Company (QGC) during its growth from a $20-million market capitalization junior explorer through to its acquisition by BG Group for $5.7 billion. QGC’s CSG assets are now operated by Shell and produce gas that is sold to China and other LNG markets.
Originally a lawyer, Cottee has spent the vast majority of his career in senior executive roles in the energy industry, including as CEO at CS Energy, NRG Europe, Central Petroleum and Nexus Energy. A 32-year veteran of the industry, Cottee is a strong business development professional and a graduate of The University of Queensland.
Neil Young was appointed to the board of Elixir on December 14, 2018, as its chief executive officer. Young has more than 20 years of experience in senior management positions in the upstream and downstream parts of the energy sector, focusing on business development, new ventures, gas marketing and general commercial functions. He has worked for a range of companies in the UK and Australia, including EY, Tarong Energy and Santos. Young founded Golden Horde Ltd in 2011 with a view to exploring gas on the Chinese border in Mongolia. He has also developed various new ventures in other countries including Kazakhstan, Japan and the USA. Young has an M.A. (Hons) joint degree in economics/politics from the University of Edinburgh.
Stephen Kelemen was appointed as the non-executive director of the company on May 6, 2019. Kelemen led Santos’ coal seam gas (CSG) team from its inception in 2004 and drove the growth in this area that allowed Santos to become one of Australia’s leading CSG companies. An engineering graduate from Adelaide University, Kelemen served Santos for 38 years in multiple technical and leadership roles.
Kelemen is currently an adjunct professor at the University of Queensland’s Centre for Coal Seam Gas and also acts as a non-executive director on the boards of Galilee Energy (ASX:GLL) and Advent Energy Ltd.
Anna Sloboda was appointed as the non-executive director of the company on October 1, 2020. Sloboda is a joint Belarusian/Australian citizen and has more than 20 years of experience in corporate finance, and in developing junior resource companies operating around the world.
Sloboda is currently an executive director of Red Citadel Resources Pty Ltd, a privately owned mineral resources exploration company with a range of projects in Africa and South America. She also serves as an advisory committee member, maritime archaeology, at the Western Australian Museum.
Previously she was a co-founder of Trans-Tasman Resources and in that capacity had substantial experience in dealing with Chinese off-takers and partners. Other prior employers include Lehman Brothers, Clough and Curtin University.

Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA) LXXXVI - Offshore Oil and Gas Block (GLV 80% Working Interest)
During the March 2024 quarter, Global and US-based joint venture partner Jaguar Exploration Limited (Jaguar), continued the evaluation of their 4,585km2 Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA or block) offshore Peru.
The block comprises over 3,800km2 of existing 3D seismic data and more than 7,000 line kilometres of 2D seismic. An aggregate of 1,000km2 of 3D seismic was selected during the quarter to undergo reprocessing and interpretation across three discrete highly prospective areas. Reprocessing will include pre-stack depth migration (PSDM) work across each of the three areas (Figure 2).
Figure 2 – Areas undergoing detailed seismic reprocessing and interpretation
The areas were selected following a review of the seismic data and other historical reports and information related to the TEA. Global identified more than twenty prospects and leads as detailed in the ASX release on 23 January 2024 of which three large scale oil and gas prospects, Bonito, Raya and Volador and one already discovered gas field, Piedra Redonda have been prioritised.
Piedra Redonda Gas Field
As part of the Company’s review of the Tumbes Basin, to identify areas in the TEA for additional studies including seismic repreocessing, the Piedra Redonda gas field, discovered in 1978 by the C-18X well, was reviewed.
The review of the Piedra Redonda gas field including a historical assesment contingent and prospective resource is detailed in the ASX release on 18 March 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS
Global leader in stimulation services Halliburton yesterday commenced the multi-stage stimulation program at Daydream-2, with a total of 16,000 hydraulic horse power of equipment now in use.
Halliburton fleet arriving on site
This program will have six separate stages, targeting two coal zones, three tight gas zones and the Lorelle Sandstone. Flow testing will follow immediately thereafter – with a view to measuring flows from individual zones as well as in totality. Such measurements will be key inputs into a revised resource assessment, which will follow the flow testing.
Elixir’s Managing Director, Mr Neil Young, said: “We are pleased to announce that the next phase of our Daydream-2 work program has now commenced following the mobilization of extensive Halliburton kit to the site. Flow testing of our six separate target zones will follow shortly thereafter. The multiple objectives of this so far very successful appraisal program will now come to fruition in only a few weeks – we await this with bated breath.”

Source Rock Royalties (TSXV:SRR) focuses on oil & gas royalties in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The company's portfolio comprises various gross overriding royalty interests in southeast Saskatchewan and a gross overriding royalty in largely contiguous Clearwater interests in Central Alberta. Source Rock Royalties offers investors low-risk and low-capital-cost exposure to the oil & gas sector with a royalty business model that shares in production revenue without exposure to the capital costs associated with drilling, development, maintenance, abandonment, environmental and other obligations.
Source Rock acquired new royalties worth nearly C$13 million in 2023 and a total of C$16.5 million since its IPO in March 2022 effectively doubling the company's royalty acreage. The acquisitions further enhanced its current royalty production and exposure to potential undeveloped drill locations. Source Rock generated C$6.6 million in royalty revenue in 2023, the highest in its 11-year history.
The majority of Source Rock's royalties are derived from top-line revenue, resulting in minimal exposure to deductions linked to production costs from wellbores and the sale of various commodities. Also, the majority of its current royalty payors are financially stable and possess robust capabilities to efficiently operate and enhance the value of the lands in which Source Rock holds royalties. Some of the key royalty payors include Whitecap Resources (TSX:WCP), Rubellite Energy (TSX:RBY), Surge Energy (TSX:SGY), Crescent Point Energy (TSX:CPG) and Anova Resources (Private), among many others.
