Georgina Energy Plc, GEX.L provides the following update on drilling at Hussar EP513.
The Company's technical consultant Aztech has commenced the program to issue RFQs (Requests for Quotation and Supply) in support of the planned drilling program. Preliminary indications are that the Explorer Rig is appropriate in specifications to complete the drilling program and is potentially available subject to final confirmation by 25th February.
The Company's representatives and technical consultancy team will be travelling to site on 12th February 2026 to undertake detailed inspections and evaluate planned work programs designed to ensure that the drilling of the Hussar well can commence promptly following the necessary site and access works inclusive of repairs to the airstrip, access roads and preparation of the drill pad and accommodation pad.
These works will facilitate the coordinated and successful completion of drilling to test the main targeted reservoirs, ie the subsalt Townsend Formation and fractured basement lithologies. The team will be inspecting and taking images of the various sites as indicated on the map below. Following completion of these site inspections, selected images will be posted on the Georgina website for shareholders to view.
The Operating Agreement governing the drilling program for Hussar will see Harlequin, Schlumberger and Aztech Well Construction plan all site activities in line with the Government (DMPE) approved Well Management Plan (WMP) lodged by Georgina in 2025.
The drilling program and site infrastructure works required to develop Hussar into a producing asset will be funded solely by Harlequin and their partners in a structured Offtake funding arrangement that is non-dilutive for Georgina shareholders.

Anthony Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer of Georgina Energy, commented:
"We're pleased to be progressing rig selection for drilling and will be conducting a site inspection from 12th February. The site and access works planned are designed to best prepare us for drilling in Q3, 2026. Georgina and Harlequin have worked hard to structure this agreement to minimise exposure to significant capital outlay and therefore reduce dilution risk for shareholders."
