30 Apr 2025quarterly activities report▲ Good
March 2025 quarter: after Woodside's exit, PCL reports strong farm-out interest from supermajors, large independents and national oil companies, and has started an environmental impact assessment for drilling approval. Basin modelling indicates about 20 billion barrels expelled. Cash A$3.1m.
PCL's first prospective resource estimate for PEL 87: High Case 3.8 billion barrels of oil net to PCL (12.7 billion barrels oil-in-place), across Oryx and Hyrax prospects plus six further leads. Unrisked, undrilled estimates; a farm-out is underway to fund drilling.
Woodside has elected not to exercise its option over PEL 87, ahead of the 18 May 2025 long stop date. This resolves the open option thread negatively. PCL keeps 75% and says a farm-out process for a new drilling partner is underway, with third-party interest.
Half-year report to 31 December 2024. Permit schedule shows PCL 75% of PEL 87 under Woodside's option, and 20% and 25% earning in the Cooper Basin ATP 920 and ATP 924-Ace. Board and auditor unchanged. Text is truncated, so financials are not visible.
December 2024 quarter Appendix 5B: operating outflow A$234k and exploration spend A$209k. Cash fell to A$3,610k from A$3,876k, with no debt and no financing inflows. Estimated funding is 8 quarters at this burn.
December 2024 quarter: new geological modelling supports reservoir sands in the Saturn leads, and PCL now focuses on two leads, Oryx and Hyrax, covering up to 1,385 sq km. Woodside's option long stop is 18 May 2025. Cash A$3.6m.
AGM presentation repeating known facts: PCL holds 75% of PEL 87 with Woodside's option pending, cash A$3.9m, and interpretation of the Woodside-funded 3D data is advanced but not complete enough to give resource guidance. No new result.
The Seismic Licence has been approved by Namibian authorities and delivered to Woodside, setting the long stop date for its option over 56% of PEL 87 at 18 May 2025. This resolves the open licence thread; Woodside's decision is now due by that date.
September 2024 quarter Appendix 5B: operating outflow A$292k and exploration spend A$126k. Cash fell to A$3,876k from A$4,301k, with no debt and no financing inflows. Estimated funding is 9 quarters at this burn.
September 2024 quarter: PEL 87 interpretation is nearing completion, with Type II AVO anomalies in Albian intra-Saturn leads. Basin modelling indicates Saturn sits above a mature Kudu Shale source kitchen. Seismic Licence talks are set for mid-November; cash is A$3.9m.

2024 Annual Report. Chairman says the Seismic Licence is still being sought, starting Woodside's 180-day clock, and notes the death of former chairman David Kennedy in September 2024. Mopane and Mangetti results are described as encouraging. Text is truncated.
Full-year statutory accounts to 30 June 2024. PCL holds 75% of PEL 87 under Woodside's option, with Cooper Basin interests of 20% in ATP 920 and 25% in ATP 924-Ace. Directors and auditor unchanged. Text is truncated, so financials are not visible.

June 2024 quarter Appendix 5B: operating outflow A$317k and exploration spend A$244k. Cash was A$4,301k, with no debt, after A$602k from option exercises. Estimated funding is 8 quarters at this burn.
June 2024 quarter: seismic interpretation continues, focused on intra-Saturn AVO anomalies and a Barremian/Aptian fan play seen as a possible analogue to TotalEnergies' Venus. An independent AVO study began in July. Seismic Licence still being finalised; cash A$4.3m, helped by option exercises.
ASX queried a price move (high 1.8c to low 1.4c) and heavy volume. PCL said it knew of no undisclosed information, pointing to the lengthy seismic analysis and the pending Seismic Licence that sets Woodside's option long stop date. Confirms no new result.
March 2024 quarter Appendix 5B: operating outflow A$206k and exploration spend A$173k. Cash fell to A$4,266k from A$4,555k, with no debt; option exercises brought in A$87k. Estimated funding is 11 quarters at this burn.
March 2024 quarter: interpretation of the 6,593 sq km survey is under way, with early work finding varied Cretaceous play concepts and leads showing apparent AVO effects.
