Spinout of Australian gas assets into separate ASX Listing
- Pure Hydrogen to spin out its Australian gas assets into a new ASX-listed gas exploration and development company, Eastern Gas Limited (‘Eastern Gas’), via an Initial Public Offering (‘IPO’), subject to ASX and board approval
- Eastern Gas is expected to raise $8 million to $10 million at IPO to fund its near-term works program, commencing with fracture stimulation at Windorah and drill / flow-testing works at Project Venus
- As part of the transaction, Pure Hydrogen shareholders will be entitled to receive an in-specie distribution of shares in Eastern Gas on an indicative basis of 1 new share in Eastern Gas for every 5 shares held in Pure Hydrogen (final basis to be determined)
- Eastern Gas will own a natural gas portfolio comprising two highly prospective tenements in Queensland’s prolific Cooper Basin and Walloon CSG fairway
- Eastern Gas portfolio will comprise:
- the Windorah Gas project in the Cooper Basin (330 BcF 2C Resources); and
- Project Venus (123 BcF 2C Resources), 100%-owned CSG assets located in the prolific Walloon CSG fairway adjacent to a network of nearby gas operators
- Exploration and development will be overseen by an experienced Board and management team with a proven track record in the development of large-scale oil & gas projects in domestic and international markets
