Routine cleansing notice for the 5 May issue of 3,342,871 shares and 7,671,441 listed options under the share purchase plan. The notice itself refers to it as the placement, which appears to be a labelling slip (inference). No new information.
The board will write off the Mongolian assets (A$34M carrying value at 31 December 2024) at 30 June 2025, citing its Taroom Trough focus and the farmout. At the farminee's request, Elixir granted a one-year option to buy its residual gas interests for US$10M.

Xstate Resources earns 51% of the Diona sub-block of ATP 2077 by fully funding the Diona-1 conventional gas well, expected in the third quarter of 2025. Elixir keeps 49% of Diona and 100% of sub-blocks A and B. This resolves the Diona farmout talks.
Elixir presentation on the Diona farmout. Diona-1 is estimated at $2.65M gross, with 5.1 Bscfe gross unrisked mean prospective resource and a 55% chance of success. Repeats the farmout terms and notes this is one of two fully funded wells for Elixir in 2025.
Prospectus for the shareholder purchase plan: up to 57.1M shares at 3.5c to raise up to $2.0M, with up to 28.6M free 12c options. Not underwritten and subject to shareholder approval. The 199.5M placement shares were issued 17 February.
What it means for a shareholder
57.1m new shares at A$0.035 to raise about A$2.0m. That's 3.9% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.9% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (28,571 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00205% to 0.00197% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,168 more shares - about A$41 at the issue price.
Timetable for the $2M shareholder purchase plan at 3.5c, with one free 12c option per two shares and a $30,000 cap per holder. It closes 15 April, subject to approval at a 23 April meeting. This follows the 11 February placement.
Elixir farmed out its Mongolian gas (Nomgon) and solar/wind assets to Gobi Terra (UK), which earns 51% and fully carries Elixir to final investment decisions. Put/call exit options are capped at US$30M for gas; management cites possible payments of A$56M in total. This resolves the Mongolian farm-out talks.
Half-year to 31 December 2024: net loss of $1.80M (vs $0.40M) and cash of $2.69M, down from $7.67M at June 2024. Nomgon coals have not yet reached critical desorption pressure; Mongolian farm-out talks were still open.

Re-release of the 15 January coal resource booking, adding appendix wording that it is premature to identify what is needed to convert resources to reserves. It also notes farmout talks with larger partners are advancing. Resource numbers unchanged.
ERCE certified a maiden deep dry coal contingent resource of 245 Bcf (2C) in ATP 2044 and 2077 Sub-block A, lifting total Grandis 2C to 1,715 Bcf (+17%). This follows the Daydream-2 coal flows and converts part of the earlier prospective coal estimate.
