• Reduced convertible loan balance to $17.2 million as of 9 December 2024 (further reducing to $14.7 million on 13 December), from $24.5 million at 1 July 2023.

• Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2024 totalled $7.9 million, as compared to $20.7 million as of 30 June 2023. As of 9 December 2024, unaudited cash and cash equivalents totalled $23.7 million, which are currently funding the ongoing Megrez-1 well operations, with the majority of the costs remaining to be spent.

David Hobbs, Executive Chairman of Pantheon Resources, said: "The past 18 months have seen extraordinary progress in three key areas. We received independent validation of the Company's contingent resources base at 1.6 billion barrels of ANS crude. We funded and are executing the Megrez-1 well programme, with its potential to add up to a further c. 40% to the overall resource base. We secured a path to potential monetisation of the 6.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in a way that may support the development capital needs from Ahpun FID."

AboutPantheon Resources

Pantheon Resources PLC is an AIM listed Oil & Gas company focused on developing its 100% owned Ahpun and Kodiak fields located on State of Alaska land on the North Slope, onshore USA. Independently certified best estimate contingent recoverable resources attributable to these projects currently total c. 1.6 billion barrels of ANS crude and 6.6 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) of associated natural gas. The Company owns 100% working interest in c. 259,000 acres.

Pantheon's stated objective is to demonstrate sustainable market recognition of a value of $5-$10/bbl of recoverable resources by end 2028. This is based on bringing the Ahpun field forward to FID and producing into the TAPS main oil line (ANS crude) by the end of 2028. The Gas Sales Precedent Agreement signed with AGDC (Alaska Gasline Development Corporation) provides the potential for Pantheon's natural gas to be produced into the proposed 807 mile pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska during 2029. Once the Company achieves financial self-sufficiency, it will apply the resultant cashflows to support the FID on the Kodiak field planned, subject to regulatory approvals, targeted by the end of 2028 or early 2029.

A major differentiator to other ANS projects is the close proximity to existing roads and pipelines which offers a significant competitive advantage to Pantheon, allowing for shorter development timeframes, materially lower infrastructure costs and the ability to support the development with a significantly lower pre-cashflow funding requirement than is typical in Alaska. Furthermore, the low CO2 content of the associated gas allows export into the planned natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska without significant pre-treatment.

The Company's project portfolio has been endorsed by world renowned experts. Netherland, Sewell & Associates estimate a 2C contingent recoverable resource in the Kodiak project that total 1,208 mmbbl (million barrels) of ANS crude and 5,396 bcf (billion cubic feet) of natural gas. Cawley Gillespie & Associates estimate 2C contingent recoverable resources for Ahpun's western topset horizons at 282 mmbbl of ANS crude and 803 bcf of natural gas. Lee Keeling & Associates estimated possible reserves and 2C contingent recoverable resources totalling 79 mmbbl of ANS crude and 424 bcf natural gas.
