TMK completed the Talon acquisition and now holds 100% of Gurvantes XXXV, issuing 1,092m shares and 546m listed options. It received $600,000 cash from Talon plus about $150,000 held in the acquired entities. This resolves the October agreement.
First gas rates reported: the highest daily rate was about 13,000 scfd on 30 November, with November output 130.5 mscf, roughly double the first month. TMK says rates are still low and not final. Both shareholder meetings approved the Talon deal.

Talon and TMK signed a binding heads of agreement for TMK to buy Talon's 33% of Gurvantes XXXV for up to 1.1 billion TMK shares and 550m listed options. This would take TMK to full ownership; it is subject to a Talon shareholder vote expected late November 2023.
TMK signed a binding agreement to buy Talon's 33% of Gurvantes XXXV for up to 1.1bn shares and 550m listed options, giving it 100%. Talon adds A$850,000 toward project costs. Needs both companies' shareholder votes, expected late November 2023.
Terra-area well BHN23_002C intersected about 45m of net coal with moderate to high gas content, in the same formation as Nariin Sukhait about 100km west, so four more wells are added. The two earlier wells found thin coal with low gas. Lucky Fox-3 had pump problems from coal fines.

Pilot wells continue as expected, with gas continuously flared and water peaking near 630 barrels a day. The Lucky Fox-3 pump was replaced in under two days, and a test showed the wells are connected. The Terra exploration program has begun; no gas rate is yet given.
TMK signed a two-year exploration cooperation agreement with Terra Energy, which operates the Baruun Noyon Uul coal mine in the project area. At least four cored wells and about 40 km of 2D seismic will be drilled, with drilling and seismic costs split 50/50.
Talon repeats TMK's news that continuous gas flow is established from all three pilot wells, with an initial flow rate due in several weeks. Duplicates TMK's announcement; no new information.
Sustained gas flow is now established from all three Lucky Fox wells, sufficient for continuous flaring, following the unsustained three-hour flare of 24 July. An initial gas rate is expected in several weeks; commercial significance still depends on the six-month test.
TMK awarded staff and consultants 61m options (2.5c, expiring 30 April 2026) and 77m performance rights, about 2.75% of issued capital. CEO Brendan Stats receives 25m options and 22.5m rights; his fixed pay rises to $350,000 from 1 July 2023. Long-term hurdles include 100 Bcf of 2P reserves.
Gas built up in the Lucky Fox-1 casing flowed to surface and was flared for about three hours on 24 July, the project's first gas to surface. The three wells produce about 500 barrels of water a day combined. TMK says the flow was unsustained.
Talon's release repeats TMK's report of the three-hour flare of gas from Lucky Fox-1 and about 500 barrels of water a day combined. It also repeats the caution that the flow was unsustained. Duplicates TMK's announcement.
Talon repeats TMK's news that production testing has begun. It adds that Talon has now met its Stage 2 obligation by funding the first US$3.15m of the pilot program; from here Talon pays 33% and TMK 67% of further costs.
The six-month production test at Gurvantes XXXV has begun, with all three pilot wells pumping water at low, constrained rates in line with expectations. Gas breakthrough may come at any time after depressurisation; the project is not yet producing sustained gas.
Pumps and drive heads are installed and all surface facilities are complete at the three pilot wells; the production test is expected to start within a week. Dewatering is now expected to take two to three months before initial gas breakthrough.
Surface facilities for the three pilot wells are over 80% complete, with pump installation due early July and the six-month production test now scheduled for mid-July. Sustained gas is not expected until several months after pumps start; early water flow is expected.
Appendix 3Y notices show directors, including Brett Lawrence and Gema Gerelsaikhan, were each issued 5,000,000 unlisted incentive options at 2.5c expiring 30 April 2026, on 8 June 2023. Issued under shareholder approval of 31 May 2023, for nil consideration.

Lucky Fox-3 hit about 68m of gassy coal, the thickest of the three, completing the pilot drilling safely, on time and on budget. Pumps and surface facilities are due by early July, with first gas breakthrough expected one to two months after pumping starts.
Lucky Fox-3, the final pilot well, began drilling late on 18 May and should take about two weeks. Management says Lucky Fox-1 and -2 each hit about 60m of gassy coal as prognosed, and pump installation and tie-in are scheduled for June.
Lucky Fox-2, the second of three pilot wells at Gurvantes XXXV, reached 407m and intersected about 62m of gassy coal, on prognosis, on time and on budget. This matches Lucky Fox-1's roughly 60m; the rig now moves to Lucky Fox-3.
Lucky Fox-2, the second of three pilot wells, began drilling on 3 May and was at 138m by 5 May. Drilling is due to finish by end of May, with pumps and tie-in completed in June before the six-month production test.
Re-lodged March quarter Appendix 5B on the current ASX template, with cash flows unchanged. It shows cash of A$2.056m, with Talon funding of A$1.867m offsetting A$2.067m of exploration spend.
