17 June 2021regulatory community update▲ GoodMajor
Indonesia approved Tanjung Enim POD 1, the country's first CBM POD, and the Gross Split PSC was signed, resolving the long-pending approval. It covers ~33 km2 with certified reserves of ~164.89 Bscf, 209 wells, and plateau gas up to 25 MMSCFD over 10 years.
The Minister granted Muralim a 12-month exploration extension from 8 May 2021, resolving the extension request. MU-005 twin reached 724 m, found four coal seams between 547 and 669 m, and is now in production testing and dewatering.
NuEnergy received advance notice that SKK Migas is proposed to approve Tanjung Enim POD 1 under Gross Split at a virtual ceremony on 17 June 2021. This would be Indonesia's first CBM POD. The approval is still only proposed, with a detailed announcement to follow.
March 2021 quarter: Tanjung Enim POD 1 approval is at the 'final stage', and the MU-005 twin well was spudded on 23 March. About 23,900 Metalla shares have been sold for roughly $0.3m; the remaining 443,830 are worth $5.4m. A one-year Muralim extension is expected.
NuEnergy spudded the MU-005 twin production well at its 100%-owned Muralim PSC, on the same pad as MU-006. It will test coal permeability and dewater for a few months, ahead of an exploration status proposal by May 2021 and a POD. This starts the planned twin-well campaign.
Half-year to 31 December 2020: Tanjung Enim POD 1 is in the final phase, to be tabled to the Minister, but still unapproved. Muralim is shown at 50% with an extension beyond 7 May 2021 sought. A twin-well drilling campaign is expected in Q1 2021. Financial figures are not in the text shown.
After the price rose from $0.02 to $0.065 in a few days, NuEnergy told ASX it is not aware of any unannounced information explaining the move. It says Tanjung Enim POD 1 approval is still in progress.
December 2020 quarter: Tanjung Enim POD 1 and Gross Split approval still pending at the 'final stage'. Muara Enim discovery letter noted, and the Muralim MU005 twin-well workscope agreed with SKK Migas. Metalla shares are now worth about $6m and their sale embargo ends 29 January 2021.
SKK Migas issued a letter confirming a natural gas discovery in the Muara Enim PSC (40% interest) and acknowledging completion of exploration commitments. NuEnergy may submit a development plan within 3 years from 18 January 2021, resolving the earlier extension thread.
After the price rose from $0.013 to $0.022 on heavy volume, NuEnergy told ASX it knows of no unannounced information explaining it. It says Tanjung Enim POD 1 approval is still in the final stages, with no timeframe, and the Muralim PSC is still being prepared.
September 2020 quarter: Fosterville royalty sale settled ($2m cash plus Metalla shares worth about $5.4m). Tanjung Enim POD approval is still at the 'final stage'. Muralim, now shown at 100%, is planning an MU005 twin well, with POD submission targeted by end May 2021.
The Fosterville gold royalty sale completed, bringing $2m cash and 467,730 Metalla shares, worth about $5.2m at 25 September close versus $4m at signing. This resolves the July sale and adds funds beyond the previous ~A$300k cash balance.
FY2020 annual report: net loss fell to about $2.3m (FY19 $17.0m, which had large impairments and penalties), including a $1.16m receivable impairment. Cash was $296k and net assets $22.1m. Tanjung Enim POD 1 approval is still pending, slowed by Covid-19.

NuEnergy agreed to sell its 2.5% Fosterville gold royalty, held since 1987/1992, to Metalla for $6m: $2m cash plus $4m in Metalla shares. The company says this covers parent borrowings, leaving it debt-free. Closing expected October 2020, subject to approvals including FIRB.
March 2020 quarter: the Muara Enim PSC got a one-year exploration extension to 19 January 2021. Tanjung Enim Gross Split and POD approval is described as at its final stage but still pending, and Covid-19 has slowed progress.
Half-year to 31 December 2019: on 4 December the government agreed Tanjung Enim POD would be approved under Gross Split, but approval is still outstanding. Muralim's exploration period runs to 7 May 2021, with re-entry testing expected soon. Financial figures are not in the text shown.
Replying to an ASX query on December quarter cash (A$447k, A$300k outflow expected), NuEnergy says it has now scaled back operations to focus on the Tanjung Enim POD. Parent loans of about A$435,501 were received; funding talks remain unconfirmed.
