June quarter: LF-07 contract signed and drilling started; all wells back on production after LF-05 remediation and pressure tests. Talisman Deeps sale finalised for a $1.0m contingent payment. Partner talks with Chinese parties advancing. Text is truncated, so cash figures are not available.
Drilling of LF-07, the seventh pilot production well, began 27 July 2025 on a fixed-cost turnkey contract with Major's TXD200 rig. It follows through on the planned 2025 pilot well and aims to speed reservoir depressurisation. LF-05 is described as remediated.
Non-executive director Tim Wise (on the board since Nov 2019, involved in the 2022 Telmen acquisition) will step down 30 September 2025, as an orderly handover following Glenn Corrie's May appointment. He keeps his equity incentive securities.
Drilling contract signed with Major Drilling for LF-07 using the larger TXD200 rig; spud expected second half of July. Program also lists up to five exploration wells about 60 km east of Nariin Sukhait after LF-07, meeting the 2025 PSC minimum commitment.
LF-07 drilling contract with Major Drilling finalised, spud expected second half of July on a larger rig with an improved mud system. LF-05 restart attempt failed pending extra equipment. Chinese partner interest reported after a Beijing visit. Likely last vertical pilot well; 2026 horizontal/fracking program is being designed.
May gas was about 8,300 m3. Pressure tests at LF-01 and LF-03 confirmed pressure falling across the wider pilot area. A second independent review urged patience, noting significant gas breakthrough has yet to occur, and endorsed LF-07, now expected to start in Q3 2025. LF-05 workover is due shortly.
Administrative notice: registered office and principal place of business moved to 3 Richardson Street, West Perth, effective 3 June 2025. Other contact details are unchanged.
Glenn Corrie joins as non-executive director. He was previously CEO of Sino Gas & Energy and is currently CEO of Hazer Group. The company says its focus now turns to strategic partnerships and offtake, and his regional contacts are expected to help with the partner search.
16 May 2025asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor
TMK is disposing of its 20% indirect interest in the Talisman Deeps offshore WA project, held through Skye Napoleon, for deferred consideration of $1m. Payable only within 90 days of commercial production starting. It removes future work-program obligations and completes exit from a non-core asset.
A pressure build-up test at LF-02 showed reservoir pressure down about 900 kPa since July 2023, roughly 90% of the 1,000 kPa needed for critical desorption. LF-02 kept producing gas unassisted during the shut-in, and the pilot wells produced about 7,600 m3 in April.
March quarter report: gas output rose each month, reaching about 10,000 m3 in March, and an April pressure test at LF-02 preliminarily showed a significant pressure drop. The April placement raised about $2.3m before costs. Critical desorption not yet reached; commercial flow remains unproven.
TMK raised about $2.25m via a placement of 750m shares at $0.003, a 7% discount to the five-day VWAP of $0.0032, issued under existing capacity around 24 April. Funds go to the LF-07 pilot well, 2025 exploration, feasibility studies and strategic partner efforts. Lead manager Prenzler gets 20m options at $0.005.
What it means for a shareholder
750m new shares at A$0.003 to raise about A$2.3m. That's 21% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 21% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (333,333 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.0116% to 0.00918% of the company. To keep it you'd need 86,806 more shares - about A$260 at the issue price.
March gas exceeded 10,000 m3, up about 10% on February's record, and gas 'slugs' appeared in LF-04 and LF-06, suggesting approach to critical desorption. DTS analysis shows water comes from the coal seams. Planning has started for at least one more production well, drilling before the end of Q2 2025 on company estimate.
Mongolian ministers and parliamentarians visited the Gurvantes project twice and expressed willingness to support its expansion and acceleration. Shows government goodwill for domestic gas, but no permits, approvals or commercial terms were announced.
Appendix 4G, a routine checklist accompanying the annual report, dated 28 March 2025 and pointing to the governance statement on the website. It carries no new substance; it appears to flag that recommendation 1.3 (written agreements with executives) was not fully followed.
Corporate governance statement as at 28 March 2025, a routine compliance document. It notes renewed senior executive contracts were not formalised during 2024's management changes, and the remuneration committee has put procedures in place to renew them promptly.
Annual report for the year to 31 December 2024 (the first after the financial year change). The chairman's report says the three extra pilot wells were drilled on time and on budget and a commercially significant outcome is possible in 2025. Financial figures were truncated and are not available here.
February gas output was about 9,100 m3, up about 14% on January's record, with a new daily high of 463 m3 on 4 March. A pressure test shows reservoir pressure still falling toward critical desorption; 5 of 6 wells are at design fluid levels. Output is still not commercial.
Options prospectus for the free attaching TMKO options (one per two shares) to the November placement investors. Also offers 80m options to directors, 20m to Tsetsen Zantav and 52.75m to advisors. Paperwork for previously announced option issues; no new funds raised.
January set a record month: almost 8,000 m3 of gas, about 300% above December and 40% above the prior record. LF-02 produced over four times its historical rate. Material increase still expected late Q1 or early Q2 2025; the company says it is too early to predict.
December quarter: three new wells drilled and commissioned, all six now flaring gas, and the Jens Energie MoU signed. About $4.75m was raised in the quarter before costs. Jens needs 5,000 m3/day by 30 June 2025. Commercial rates remain unproven.
The three new wells began flaring gas around 10 January, so all six wells now flare and total field gas has more than doubled. Flows are 'pre desorption' and not commercial. Critical desorption is estimated for late Q1 or early Q2 2025.
December: all six pilot wells ran near 100% uptime. The original three wells quickly returned to prior gas rates after pumps were sped back up. The new wells' fluid levels are down about 30% and DTS data is being collected. No new gas yet from them.
Binding MoU with German-backed Jens Energie to sell up to 0.6 TJ/day of pilot gas for power generation, for two years. It is conditional on TMK delivering 5,000 m3/day by 30 June 2025 and a detailed gas sales agreement. First early revenue pathway for the project.
Webinar presentation repeating known project facts. Snapshot shows about 9.3bn shares, market cap about $18.6m and pro-forma cash about $2.5m after drilling. Targets first revenues in 2025. No new announcements.
The three new wells (LF-04, -05, -06) started pumping on the weekend, so all six Lucky Fox pilot wells are now running. Pump speeds rise over 6-8 weeks to reach critical desorption, when gas rates should increase materially. No gas rates are given.
Three new wells are completed and in final commissioning, with metering skids two-thirds done. All six wells will be ramped up slowly over 6-8 weeks. Management targets a successful outcome in Q1 2025. No gas results yet.
LF-05 and LF-06 now have tubing, pumps and DTS cable installed; LF-04 is to follow within days. Surface hookups are on schedule for production by end November. Pumps should reach full capacity early 2025, with pressure measurements from Q1 2025.
Conference presentation repeating known points: 1,214 Bcf 2C contingent resource, six wells to be online soon, funded. It mentions a new strategic shareholder with about 9% ownership, which is the only new item. No new results.
Final pilot well LF-04 reached 503m with about 60m of net coal, as expected, completing the 2024 drilling campaign on time and on budget. The rig is leaving. Pumps are being fitted, with all six wells due on production by end of November.
