Talon raises A$12M via a placement at A$0.145 (82.8m shares), plus an SPP of up to A$2M at the same price. It chose equity despite credit-approved debt terms. It also starts a strategic review of its 33% Gurvantes interest, possibly including a demerger.

Triangle confirms the binding farmout of 25% of L7 and EP437 to Talon, with conditions satisfied and an initial A$1M seismic payment. Drilling is estimated for early 2024. This is Triangle's side of the Talon farm-in announced in December.
Talon signs the formal farm-in for 25% of L7 and EP437 after due diligence. It pays A$1M now and about A$0.9M before 1 September 2023, plus about A$7.3M net toward three 2024 wells. Prior Triangle work shows 617 Bcf best-case prospective resource (gross, unrisked) in L7 alone.
Jo-Ann Long, currently CFO and Company Secretary of Norwest Energy, becomes Talon's Company Secretary. Joint secretaries David Lim and Lauren Nelson retire on 28 February 2023. Administrative change.
Operator TMK signs Major Drilling to drill the three Gurvantes pilot wells, starting April, about eight weeks. Pilot cost is about US$3.5M, of which Talon pays the first US$3.15M (stage 2 funding), then 33% of the balance. Pilot wells would then run about six months.
Talon's own release of the Major Drilling contract for three Gurvantes pilot wells, starting within 90 days and taking two months. Repeats ref 1 and adds a planned further 8 exploration wells, 7 outside the Stage 1 area. Follows the 1.2 Tcf 2C resource.

Triangle farms out a further 25% of L7 and EP 437 to New Zealand Oil & Gas on similar terms, leaving Triangle with 50%. Talon's 25% is unchanged, and the JV becomes three partners with first L7 well planned Q1 2024.
The WA regulator grants Production Licence L23 for Walyering (Talon 45%), a key approval on schedule. Procurement is about 98% complete and fabrication 65%; startup is targeted by end of Q1 2023, with the workover rig due mid-February.
Triangle announces its side of the L7 and EP 437 farm-out to Talon for 25%, with Triangle keeping operatorship and 75%. It puts Talon's total payments at A$9.26M; drilling is expected early 2024.
Talon signs a binding term sheet to farm into 25% of Triangle's L7 and EP 437 northern Perth Basin permits, subject to due diligence. It pays about A$1.9M for seismic costs and funds shares of three 2024 wells, after Walyering first gas.
Talon announces the Walyering gas sales agreement with Santos: at least 36.5 PJ over 5 years, partly take-or-pay, US dollar priced and linked to US CPI, delivery from Q1 2023. This resolves the open gas sales term sheet from October.
Operator Strike announces the Walyering joint venture's binding 5-year deal to supply 36.5 PJ of gas to Santos-WA from Q1 2023. Procurement is 95% complete; Strike taking over some pipeline work lifts gross capex by at least A$2.4M.
The A$12M placement is complete and funds received. Shares were issued under existing capacity, except Colby Hauser's A$50,000 (357,143 shares), which needs shareholder approval at a meeting expected in January 2023. A 6% fee was paid.

Talon has firm commitments for a A$12M placement of about 85.7M shares at A$0.14, a 9.7% discount to the last close. Proceeds fund the Gurvantes stage 2 commitment (~US$3.15M plus US$809,333 resource payment) and Walyering costs; debt talks continue.
Talon exercises its option and takes a 33% interest in the Gurvantes XXXV coal seam gas project, with about 400 BCF of the 1.2 TCF 2C resource now attributable to it. It also holds a first right of refusal over TMK's remaining 67%.
Talon appoints Christopher Kohne as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. He has about 15 years' experience, including 10 years at Hess and most recently Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy and Fertilisers. Management links the hire to moving from explorer to producer.
TMK acquired two 10km seismic lines to plan 2023 exploration, and pilot well design and tendering are nearly done. Talon must elect stage 2 by 25 Dec 2022 and has told TMK it expects to proceed. Pilot drilling is expected mid Q1 2023.
TMK reports NSAI's maiden Gurvantes contingent resource: 1,214 BCF best estimate (2C), 398 BCF low and 2,361 BCF high. All 1C and 2C is in the upper seam; the lower seam has only 3C. Pilot wells are planned from Q1 2023. Talon is still earning 33%.
Talon announces the NSAI-certified Gurvantes maiden contingent resource of about 1.2 TCF (2C) following the stage 1 program, funded by Talon at about US$1.5M. Talon holds an option on a 33% interest and says it is better placed to decide on continuing.
TMK confirms 56mD permeability in the SL-05R upper seam, the best at Gurvantes so far, and over 80% gas saturation at SL-02 and SL-03. NSAI's maiden resource is due within two weeks. The pilot wells would be near SL-02, mainly funded by Talon.
Operator Strike reports Walyering procurement about 70% complete and a pipeline connection agreement signed with APA. Secondary approvals are with the regulator and a gas sales term sheet is signed with a preferred buyer. First gas sales remain targeted for Q1 2023.

TMK says the fifth well, SL-05R, finished with 69m of coal. Preliminary testing of the upper seam shows the highest permeability yet. The five-well exploration program is complete; the maiden resource is now targeted by 31 Oct 2022.
TMK reports SL-03R finished at 558m with 175m net gassy coal, up from 140m reported earlier. Stage 1 is complete, so Talon's 90-day election to fund the US$3.15M pilot wells runs from 26 Sept 2022. SL-05 was re-spudded; the resource assessment is under way.
TMK reports SL-03R hit 80m of gassy lower-seam coal, about 140m net coal in total, the thickest yet at Gurvantes. SL-05 is drilling. Talon has not yet elected stage 2; maiden contingent resource is expected early Q4 2022.
Half-year accounts to 30 June 2022 show a loss of $9.35M (against $2.33M a year earlier). Net cash was $10.9M, up from $6.7M at December 2021 after the May raising; operating cash outflow was $6.4M.
