The CHARBONE team announced onsite construction progress at its Sorel-Tracy flagship, preparing for equipment deliveries and the start of production.
Global Oil & Gas Limited (ASX: GLV) (Global or Company) has identified the second of three areas nominated for 3D seismic re-processing work at its 4,585km2 Tumbes Basin Technical Evaluation Agreement (TEA or block) offshore Peru. An aggregate of 1,000km2 of 3D seismic will be reprocessed as the Company compiles an inventory of leads, prospects and Resources.
Highlights
- Work has commenced at the second area nominated for seismic re-processing focussing on the Raya prospect located within the Company’s 4,585km2 offshore Peru oil and gas block
- Combination of a stratigraphic and structural trap at Raya significantly increases the area under closure, with the potential for multiple pay zones indicative of a large scale target
The block comprises over 3,800km2 of existing 3D seismic data and more than 7,000km of 2D seismic. The first prospective area (announced 12 February 2024) covers 250km2 in the southern part of the TEA incorporating the Bonito and the Volador prospects (Figure 1). The second project area is in the northern part of the block covering an area of 400km2 over the Raya prospect.
Figure 1 – Raya seismic re-processing area
The selection of the second area was based on interpretation of the existing data which demonstrate that the Raya prospect has the potential to hold significant hydrocarbon volumes. Further, Raya has access to a different oil migration pathway than Bonito and Volador, offering a degree of risk independence.
The reprocessing of the 3D seismic data will allow for a better evaluation of the prospects and estimation of Prospective Resources.
Raya Prospect
The Raya prospect is adjacent to the Delphin and Barracuda discoveries which demonstrate the presence of an oil charge in the area (Figure 1 and 2).
The Raya prospect is a structural high against an east-west fault (Figure 2) where the Zorritos Formation, the primary reservoir in the basin, is at a depth of c. 1,970m (~2,050m sub-sea).
Figure 2 – Raya illustrative seismic section.
There are structural closures against the major east-west fault within the Raya prospect at a number of levels in the target Zorritos Formation (Figure 3). By comparison to other targets within the TEA, the area of structural closure is modest however there is potential for stacked pay with multiple Zorritos reservoir-seal pairs being present. The section above the Zorritos unconformity is typically a sealing shale which creates opportunites for combination structural/stratigraphic traps (Figures 3 and 4) where Zorritos Formation sands are truncated by the unconformity. The area under closure within the combination structural/stratigraphic traps is considerably larger than the structural closures with the same potential for multiple pay zones.
Once the reprocessing is complete, the Raya Prospect will be mapped in more detail and various lithology and fluid discrimination techniques based on seismic attributes calibrated by nearby wells will be used to identify target intervals.

CHARBONE Hydrogen Provides Update on Flagship Sorel-Tracy Project, Achieving Multiple Key Milestones This Week
Brossard, Quebec TheNewswire - August 14, 2025 Charbone Hydrogen Corporation (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF; OTCQB: CHHYF; FSE: K47) (" CHARBONE " or the " Company "), North America's only publicly traded pure-play company focused on ultra-pure green hydrogen production and distribution, is pleased to provide an update on substantial construction progress and infrastructure connections at its flagship Sorel-Tracy project.
Electrical Interconnection Completed
Earlier this week, a Hydro-Quebec team completed the electrical interconnection of the site. This involved connecting the distribution network to the first pole installed on-site, following the installation of the Hydro-Québec metering station three weeks earlier. Energy can now flow from the Hydro-Quebec grid along the site's overhead power lines to the production area, paving the way for equipment installation.
Water Supply Infrastructure Installed
Meanwhile, the Sorel-Tracy Water Department finished excavating and installing piping to link the CHARBONE site to a 14-inch main water line. This connection will ensure enough water capacity to support all five planned project phases. With both key inputs for electrolysis—electricity and water—now secured, the site is prepared to start hydrogen production once the equipment installation is finished.
Heavy civil construction equipment has arrived on-site, and CHARBONE's general contractor and subcontractor teams have begun work. Surveyors have finished all necessary site markings for the construction of buildings and production areas in preparation for the arrival of production equipment in the upcoming weeks.
During site preparation, the Quebec Ministry of the Environment (MELCCFP) identified a rare and endangered plant species—the ‘Three-awn grass'—on a small part of the property. In collaboration with experts from Tetra Tech, CHARBONE successfully relocated and protected the plant, ensuring it has a dedicated habitat on the site. "This update marks the completion of three critical milestones for our team," said Dave Gagnon, President and CEO of CHARBONE. "We are proud of the progress to date and remain on track to commence production this fall."
Closing of Shares for Debt Financing

CHARBONE is pleased to announce the closing of Shares for debt settlements amounting to $118,095. The Company has settled with a arm's length supplier $118,095 of payables through the issuance of shares. A total of 1,968,254 Shares will be issued pursuant to the closing, at a conversion price per unit of $0.06. The Company believes that the settlement of the payables through the issuance of securities is appropriate to advance towards production for its Sorel-Tracy project and the overall need to manage its cash prudently. A formal agreement will reflect any debt settlement and will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Any securities issued pursuant to a debt settlement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period in Canada.
Update on closing US$1.5M in Convertible Notes
Following the Exchange's review of the closing of US$1.5M (CA$2.1M) convertible notes announced on December 4, 2024, CHARBONE will issue 2,109,900 warrants to the placement agent. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 or USD equivalent.

L'équipe Charbone a annoncé l'avancement des travaux de construction sur le site de son projet phare de Sorel-Tracy, se préparant aux livraisons d'équipements et au début de la production.
Brossard (Québec) TheNewswire - le 14 août 2025 - CORPORATION CHARBONE HYDROGÈNE (TSXV: CH,OTC:CHHYF OTCQB: CHHYF, FSE: K47 ) (« Charbone » ou la « Société »), une rare compagnie cotée en bourse spécialisée dans la production et la distribution d'hydrogène ultrapur vert en Amérique du Nord, est heureuse de fournir une mise-à-jour sur les progrès substantiels de la construction et les connexions d'infrastructures de son projet phare de Sorel-Tracy.
Interconnexion électrique terminée
Plus tôt cette semaine, une équipe d'Hydro-Québec a terminé l'interconnexion électrique du site. Il s'agissait de raccorder le réseau de distribution au premier poteau installé sur le site, après l'installation du poste de mesurage d'Hydro-Québec trois semaines plus tôt. L'énergie peut désormais circuler du réseau d'Hydro-Québec jusqu'à la zone de production via les lignes aériennes du site, ouvrant ainsi la voie à l'installation des équipements.
Infrastructures d'approvisionnement en eau installées
Entre-temps, le service de ses eaux de la Ville de Sorel-Tracy a terminé l'excavation et l'installation de la tuyauterie reliant le site de Charbone à une conduite d'eau principale de 14 pouces. Ce raccordement assurera une capacité d'alimentation en eau suffisante pour les cinq phases prévues du projet. Les deux principaux apports d'électricité et d'eau pour l'électrolyse étant désormais assurés, le site est prêt à démarrer la production d'hydrogène une fois l'installation des équipements terminée.
Travaux de génie civil en cours
Les machineries lourdes de génie civil sont arrivées sur le chantier, et les équipes de l'entrepreneur général et des sous-traitants de Charbone ont commencé les travaux. Les arpenteurs géomètres ont terminé le marquage du site nécessaire à la construction des bâtiments et des zones de production, en prévision de l'arrivée des équipements dans les semaines à venir.
Lors de la préparation du site, le ministère de l'Environnement du Québec (MELCCFP) a identifié une espèce végétale rare et menacée – l'Aristide à rameaux – sur une petite partie de la propriété. En collaboration avec les experts de Tetra Tech, Charbone a réussi à relocaliser et à protéger la plante, lui assurant ainsi un habitat dédié sur le site. « Cette mise à jour marque la réalisation de trois étapes cruciales pour notre équipe », a déclaré Dave Gagnon, président-directeur général de Charbone. « Nous sommes fiers des progrès réalisés à ce jour et maintenons le cap pour le début de la production cet automne. »

Westport Announces Closing of Previously Announced Light-Duty Segment Divestiture
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. ("Westport" or the "Company") (TSX:WPRT Nasdaq:WPRT), today announced the successful closing of the previously announced transaction to divest its Light-Duty Segment and outlines its strategic vision for future growth, emphasizing expansion of market share, entering new markets and right sizing its current operations.
Today, Westport closed the sale of the Light-Duty Segment to a wholly-owned investment vehicle of Heliaca Investments Coöperatief U.A. ("Heliaca Investments"), a Netherlands based investment firm supported by Ramphastos Investments Management B.V., a prominent Dutch venture capital and private equity firm (the "Transaction"). The Transaction, initially announced on March 31, 2025, includes the sale of Westport Fuel Systems Italia S.r.l., encompassing the Light-Duty OEM, delayed OEM, and independent aftermarket businesses. Total consideration for the assets was a base price of approximately $79.5 million (€67.7 million), subject to certain adjustments, along with potential earnouts of up to a revised estimate of $3.9 million (€3.3 million) based on future performance milestones.
"The successful completion of the disposition of our Light-Duty Segment marks a pivotal step in strengthening our balance sheet," said Dan Sceli, Chief Executive Officer of Westport Fuel Systems. "More importantly, it allows Westport to sharpen our focus on the larger, higher-growth opportunities ahead, including providing the most economical solutions for heavier duty and high horse power commercial mobility and industrial applications that also deeply decarbonize these challenging segments – where we believe our products and technologies can deliver the greatest value."
The New Westport
With the successful completion of the Light-Duty Segment divestiture, Westport is taking the necessary steps to execute on a new and focused integrated business strategy. The Company recognizes the evolving macroeconomic environment and is positioning itself to capitalize on renewed market momentum, drive operational excellence, and deliver on key financial objectives.
"The transportation landscape is shifting, and customer demand for cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable solutions continues to accelerate," added Sceli. "We're seeing renewed attention on CNG and LNG fuelled platforms and Westport is uniquely positioned to deliver the necessary products and technologies. By leveraging our core strengths in fuel-agnostic, high-pressure fuel systems, we aim to meet growing market demand and provide our customers with reliable solutions that perform – and in many cases are more affordable than the incumbant engines."
During the upcoming Q2 financial results conference call, Westport will be covering additional details about the transaction and Westport's strategy ahead. We will focus on key priorities, including:
- Cespira: Strategic market expansion and technology leadership in heavy-duty transportation and off road high horse power mobility
- High Pressure Controls and Systems: Complementing the energy transition with versatile solutions that support multiple powertrain platforms
- Westport Financial Initiatives: Balancing opportunity scale, execution performance, and dynamic market conditions
Westport's key focus going forward recognizes both the opportunities and headwinds in overall market conditions. We have initiated a comprehensive internal process to review additional ways to maximize our economic benefit from this recent transaction for our stakeholders. We look forward to providing additional insight and updates when we report Q2 2025 results on Monday, August 11, 2025, after market close.
