Mosman Oil and Gas Limited the helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon exploration, development and production company, holds 100% working interest in one granted permit, EP-145 and one permit application, EPA-155 in the highly prospective Amadeus Basin, Central Australia.
EP-145 update

"Transfer of Title" paperwork was submitted to the Northern Territory Government in November 2024 and is awaiting approval.

An Environmental Management Plan for the Wildhorse 2D seismic project was submitted on 26 November 2024 and Mosman anticipates approval approximately 30 days from submission, subject to receipt of the AAPA heritage certificate which was requested in March 2024.

Given the time it takes to get the approvals listed above, a six month "suspension and extension" of Permit Year Three has been requested to extend from February to August 2025.
EPA-155 update

Mosman's wholly owned subsidiary company Oilco Limited ("Oilco") is the Applicant for the exploration permit 155.

Traditional Owners have agreed to progress negotiations which are being handled by the farm-in partner Georgina Energy PLC (GEX).
Andy Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Mosman, said: "We are pleased with the progress being made across both these projects in Australia, which are cornerstones of our exploration portfolio.
