Equity raise completed: about $137M from 652.5M placement shares at $0.21, including $30M from Sheffield and $22M from H&P, plus the $3.4M share purchase plan. All conditions for the Origin acquisition, including Ministerial approval, are satisfied. Resolves the funding thread.
Quarterly report recapping the Origin acquisition, 10-year gas deal, $138M placement, H&P alliance, Tanumbirini flow rates and Maverick 1V reaching 3,050 m. Cash $26.7M, with $98.8M more due after the 25 October vote. Amungee 2H drilling expected by end-October.
September 2022 quarterly cash flow report: cash of $26.7M at quarter end, no debt. Spent $16.6M on exploration and $8.8M on equipment, with $39.2M raised from the first placement tranche. Funding covers about 1.4 quarters before the tranche 2 money arrives.
Share Purchase Plan closed with $3.4M of applications, all met in full for about 16.2M shares at $0.21. Slightly above the $3.0M target. The remaining placement tranche 2 (~$98.8M) still awaits the general meeting vote.
What it means for a shareholder
16.2m new shares at US$0.210 to raise about US$3.4m. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.
Falcon, holder of the other 22.5% of the Origin permits, agreed not to use its pre-emptive rights on the Origin purchase, in return for a partial extension of the carry under the farm-in, borne equally by Tamboran and Sheffield. Northern Territory approval is expected by end-October.
Share Purchase Plan closing date extended from 7 to 14 October 2022, giving eligible shareholders more time to apply for up to $30,000 at $0.21. Administrative timetable change to the raising launched in September.

Tanumbirini 3H averaged 3.1 mmscfd and 2H 2.1 mmscfd over 30 days after tubing (5.2 and 3.3 normalised per 1,000 m), which Tamboran says exceed its commerciality threshold. Both are declining as expected; 90-day rates due Q4 2022. Resolves the 30-day results thread.
