Background

On 23 June 2025, the Company announced a £515,000 gross fundraise through a subscription (the "Subscription") for ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares").  For every two new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription, investors received one warrant allowing the holder to subscribe for an additional new Ordinary Share in the Company at an exercise price of 4 pence per Ordinary Share, exercisable within one year of Admission ("4p 2025 Warrants") and one warrant allowing the holder to subscribe for an additional new Ordinary Share in the Company at an exercise price of 6 pence per Ordinary Share, exercisable within three years of Admission ("6p 2025 Warrants"). There are 10,647,750 4p 2025 Warrants outstanding representing 3.1% of the Company's issued share capital which expired on 26 June 2026.  There are 13,522,750 6p 2025 Warrants outstanding and the terms of these warrants have not been amended.

Overview of Mendell Helium

Mendell Helium is a helium producer in Kansas, USA where it operates through its wholly owned subsidiary M3 Helium.

M3 Helium's flagship well, Rost 1-26, is in Fort Dodge, just to the east of Dodge City, Kansas. It has been tested as containing 5.1% helium composition and a drill stem test yielded a maximum flow rate of approximately 2,900 Mcf per day. Water removed from Rost 1-26 is delivered to Brobee, a nearby disposal well that has been permitted at 10,000 barrels of water per day at 1,200 psi.  Production at Rost 1-26 commenced in early November 2025 and the most recently recorded flow rate in December 2025 was 250 Mcf per day equating to approximately $1.4 million of helium per year (at $300/Mcf helium).

M3 Helium has subsequently drilled a second well, Rost 2-26, which is currently being completed. It also owns additional leases in the Fort Dodge area capable of supporting up to eight new production wells. It has also agreed a joint venture with Ritchie Exploration, Inc. to recomplete the Schneweis Ventures 13A, a well with a drill stem test of over 10,000 Mcf per day and a historic flow rate of 300 Mcf per day.

At the Rost wells in Fort Dodge, M3 Helium treats the raw gas on site to concentrate the helium and has leased two tube trailers which it uses for deliveries to its offtaker.

M3 Helium also has interests in five producing wells (Peyton, Smith, Nilson, Bearman and Dimmitt) within the Hugoton gas field in South-Western Kansas, one of the largest natural gas fields in North America. Significantly these wells are in the proximity of a gathering network and the Jayhawk gas processing plant meaning that producing wells are all tied into the infrastructure.
