THIS ANNOUNCEMENT RELATES TO THE DISCLOSURE OF
INFORMATION THAT QUALIFIED OR MAY HAVE QUALIFIED AS INSIDE
INFORMATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF (A) ARTICLE 7(1) OF UK MAR IN SO
FAR AS IT RELATES TO ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED BY GEORGINA ENERGY
PLC
Georgina Energy plc ("the
Company")
RESOURCE UPGRADE EP513
HUSSAR
Georgina Energy Plc, GEX.L is pleased to announce the
following EP513 Hussar resource upgrade.
The Company is pleased to confirm
receipt of an updated addendum to the CPR of May 23, 2024
(available on the
GEX website) from an Independent
Competent Person following the synthesizing of new seismic data,
which greatly improves our understanding of the deeper structure at
Hussar. The Independent Competent Person is a practicing geologist
and geophysicist with over 30 years of experience in both the
hydrocarbon and energy industry as Head of Exploration of a highly
successful producer and explorer.
Resource Scale of EP513 Hussar
· Georgina Energy engaged an Independent Competent Person to
synthesise the new seismic data which forms part of the of the
Company's submission to DEMIRS with its drilling permit
application.
· New
seismic data and mapping confirms the presence of a significant
(300 km2) pre-salt structural closure at the depth of
the target reservoir, the Townsend Formation.
· The
resource estimates were revised using the deterministic method for
calculations.
· The
new seismic data recently made available to the Company by DEMIRS
has enabled more detailed seismic mapping results and improved
seismic sections through the well.
· The
previous CPR assessment of the Hussar Prospect, published in the
Company's prospectus, concluded that the prospect hosts unrisked 2U
Prospective (Recoverable) Resources of c.155 BCFG (155 million MCF)
of helium and c.173 BCFG (173 million MCF) of hydrogen, and c.1.75
TCFG of hydrocarbons.
· The
revised Competent Person's estimates unrisked 2U Prospective
(Recoverable) Resources of c.185
BCFG (185 million MCF) of helium and c.205 BCFG (205 million MCF) of
hydrogen and c.1.909 TCFG
of hydrocarbons, representing an overall increase of approximately
20%.

· The
new mapping has identified a structure of a greater aerial extent
than previously mapped. Georgina intends to complete its own
interpretation of the seismic database, based on a newly enhanced
reprocessing approach.
· The
Company will be on site in November to complete an environmental
survey with the Traditional Landowners; a requirement of the
granting of the drilling approval to re-enter the Hussar 1 Well in
December 2024 which was originally drilled to a depth of 2,040
metres. The Company plans to extend the depth to approximately
3,200 metres to penetrate the subsalt Townsend target reservoir,
which potentially hosts significant accumulations of helium,
hydrogen and natural gas.
· The
Company (as the approved nominated Operator) and Aztech Well
Construction are currently preparing to submit all the required
documentation for drilling approvals from DEMIRS which will include
the remapped seismic and November preparatory site inspection
report.
Anthony Hamilton, Chief Executive
Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:
"We are delighted with the
significant increase of resources at Hussar. Our planned
preparatory site visit in November, followed by the commencement of
operations in December, marks the realisation of a 5-year journey
for the Georgina team. Alongside this, as we continue to make
progress towards obtaining the relevant drilling approvals for
Hussar we continue towards fulfilling requirements for the formal
granting of EPA155 in the Northern Territory, the Mt Winter
Prospect representing, the next stage in our development program.
Our goal remains to achieve a positive outcome with our low-risk
projects in 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 in the
Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory, which Georgina Energy has
a right to earn an initial 75 per cent. interest in (with the
potential to reach 90 per cent.). 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
and EP513 Hussar projects for their potential
accumulations.
