12 June 2025capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
Kinetiko raises about A$2.2m at 4c per share (20% below last trade), with a free option per share at 7c expiring June 2027. Directors take up to A$310k, subject to approval. A A$500k loan is also converted to shares. Follows cash falling to A$441k.
15 May 2025investor presentation● Neutral
May 2025 investor presentation restated the 6.0 Tcf 2C resource, 6.4 Bcf 2P reserve and first LNG revenue targeted for 2026. It also repeated the expert report's finding that foam and water invasion cut gas flow by up to 85%, with positive core permeability.
14 May 2025drilling spud▲ GoodMajor
Third of five test wells, 271-KA03PT10 at Brakfontein, spudded 9 May 2025 using revised drilling methods from the expert study. It is intended to join a cluster feeding a pilot LNG plant expected in 2026; first gas flow results expected before July 2025.
30 Apr 2025quarterly activities report▼ Bad
March quarter: available funds about A$441k (A$177k cash, A$264k in the IDC vehicle), no debt, down from A$2.28m in December. Recaps the drilling optimisation findings; company says gas flows from both test wells are improving. Funding looks very tight (inference).
23 Apr 2025well test result▲ GoodMajor
Final expert report finds water and drilling foam cut gas permeability by up to 85% in lab simulations, blaming drilling methods for the first two wells' poor flows. Resolves the study opened in February; next well to spud early May with revised methods.
19 Mar 2025well test result▲ Good
Interim lab work by consultant OTP on the first two test wells found the rock itself is permeable, but drilling put excessive water into it, temporarily blocking gas flow. Remediation is expected to work; third well planned for April 2025 spud. Supports February's 'skin' suspicion.
10 Mar 2025half year report● Neutral
Half-year to 31 December 2024: operating loss $3,838,763 (prior-year period $2,910,325). Cash $1.38m with no debt. The IDC joint venture began returning original funds (about $1.366m to Kinetiko on 19 December). ER383 approval is now expected by mid-2025.
11 Feb 2025well test result▲ GoodMajor
Second well 271-KV06PT reached 631m and has been flared. The company now says its first-well 'small sealed compartment' conclusion was incorrect, and suspects drilling may have created a temporary 'skin' blocking gas flow. A drilling optimisation study precedes continuing the program.
31 Jan 2025quarterly activities report● Neutral
December quarter: about A$2.28m available (A$1.38m cash, A$0.50m advanced to the IDC vehicle, IDC about A$0.40m), no debt, down from A$4.29m in September. Recaps the dry first test well and the second well's spud; no new results in the visible text.
31 Dec 2024director officer appointment▼ BadMajor
Chairman's letter says CEO Nick de Blocq is stepping down at year end after three years, for personal reasons. Director Rob Bulder becomes Interim CEO; talks with permanent candidates are well advanced. Also recaps 2024 drilling and calls the first test well's result a geological anomaly.
23 Dec 2024admin correction● Neutral
Corrects two typographical errors in the 2024 annual report: capitalised exploration assets are $66,446,657, and non-controlling interest is +$87,853 rather than negative. A corrected report is attached. No change to operations.
6 Nov 2024admin correction● Neutral
After ASX discussions, Kinetiko reissued its 23 and 29 October announcements with added resource disclosures, including a 2.8 Tcf 1C contingent resource alongside the 6 Tcf 2C. Compliance wording only; no new results. Readers should use the revised versions.
31 Oct 2024quarterly activities report● Neutral
September quarter: about A$4.29m available (A$1.02m cash plus A$1.8m advanced to the IDC vehicle; IDC contributed about A$1.47m), no debt, down from A$7.21m in June. Repeats the 270-11C core result and the dry first test well 271-23PT.
29 Oct 2024drilling spud● Neutral
Second production test well 271-KV06PT spudded 24 October 2024, 41m from core hole KV-06C (86.5m gassy sandstone), near the Lily pipeline. Initial gas flow results are expected in November. Follows the disappointing first well; each well is to be flow-tested up to 90 days.
23 Oct 2024drilling result▼ BadMajor
First production test well 271-23PT reached 463m on 16 October 2024 but produced no commercial gas in a choke test, so no flow test followed. The company calls it a geological anomaly (a small, sealed compartment). Cost under A$500,000; rig moved to second well.

21 Oct 2024listing compliance notice● NeutralMajor
At the company's request, KKO was placed in voluntary suspension pending an announcement on drilling results at well 271-23PT, expected on or before 23 October 2024. Resolves the earlier trading pause's cause; the well result is awaited.

20 June 2024investor presentation● Neutral

18 June 2024capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Final result: 84,266,769 shares issued at $0.06, raising about $5,056,006, 99.99% of the maximum, correcting the earlier 97% figure. Entitlements took 65.76m shares; directors placed 18.51m shortfall shares. No shortfall remains, resolving that open thread.
What it means for a shareholder
84.3m new shares at A$0.060 to raise about A$5.1m. That's 17% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 17% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (16,667 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00408% to 0.00339% of the company. To keep it you'd need 3,441 more shares - about A$206 at the issue price.
