All seven resolutions passed at the 2021 AGM, including re-election of Martin Riley and Shaun Scott, ratification of the PURE warrants and placement shares, and performance rights for the MD. Shares on issue: 860,034,445.
Mahalo North 2 dual lateral completed: second lateral drilled to 1152m, giving over 2100m of lateral with almost 1900m in coal. High fluid losses point to a natural fracture network. The rig is released; production testing is expected to start in December.
Mahalo North 2's first lateral reached 1735m along hole, intersecting Mahalo North 1 and exposing about 1300m of coal. Fluid losses suggest good natural fractures. The second lateral is next, with production testing expected next month.
September quarter report restates the APLNG acquisition (to 70%), Santos funding and options, the PURE loan and placement. Notes Mahalo North drilling began after quarter-end with very positive first-well results. Net Mahalo Hub area is 1,250 km2. Text is truncated.
Mahalo North 2 dual lateral well spudded 25 October 2021, 450m from Mahalo North 1. It is designed to hit the target coal at ~250m depth, intersect MN1, and expose over 2000m of coal across two laterals.
Mahalo North 1 reached 314m, intersecting 9.03m net coal, with a ~7m Castor-Pollux package as predicted. A short flow test measured permeability of 250 millidarcies, which management calls high-end. Mahalo North 2 spud was planned later that day; lab results are months away.
Mahalo North 1 vertical core well spudded 16 October 2021 in ATP 2048 (100% COI) using Silver City Rig 23, on schedule with the mid-October target. Planned depth 310m; it will provide the intercept well for Mahalo North 2.

FY2021 annual report: underlying loss after tax $6.96m (2020: $10.39m) and cash of $3.39m at 30 June 2021. Highlights the APLNG 30% Mahalo acquisition (to 70%), the PURE loan and placement, with two Mahalo North wells planned for 2Q FY22. Text is truncated.
COI has over $15m available cash for Mahalo North drilling: Silver City Rig 23 is contracted, with Mahalo North 1 core hole targeted to spud mid-October and a dual lateral well (Mahalo North 2) to follow. COI also opened gas sales negotiations with CleanCo.
COI raised $5.3m gross ($5.0m net) via a placement of 64.5m shares at $0.0825, a 12% discount to the 20-day VWAP, about 8.1% of issued capital. Funds support Mahalo North appraisal drilling; pro-forma cash is $14.7m including the $6.5m PURE tranche.
What it means for a shareholder
64.5m new shares at A$0.0825 to raise about A$5.3m. That's 7.5% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 7.5% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (12,121 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00152% to 0.00141% of the company. To keep it you'd need 983 more shares - about A$81 at the issue price.
Presentation on the placement and Mahalo North work programme: a dual lateral pilot well targeting over 2000m in coal plus one core hole, with a rig secured and spud planned next month. Repeats the placement and acquisition already announced. Text is truncated.
