Finally, concurrent with the approval of the next development locations in the Fouke area, the Company has initiated several technical studies on monetizing locally produced gas in the Fouke area. The results of those studies determined that providing gas/energy to a Bitcoin Mining operation was the best option for this resource. Post period, evaluations of multiple options for the development of a bitcoin mining operation in the Fouke area are underway with the Company reviewing the optimum commercial strategy, with the target deployment being the late 1st quarter of 2026.
The implementation of a successful strategy to monetise this gas is subject to a number of further steps including the drilling result from the new development wells. This includes entering into an agreement with a Bitcoin miner on suitable terms and further assessment of potential sites for a future operation.
Lastly, on
I also wish to sincerely thank our shareholders for their continued support. I look forward to updating you as we continue to grow our company.

Notes to the interim report
For the six months ended
1. General Information
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2025 has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition principles of UK adopted international accounting standards and accounting policies that are consistent with the Group's Annual report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 and that are expected to be applied in the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 . They do not include all of the information required for the full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts which were prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards.
The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2024 in this interim report does not constitute statutory accounts for that period under section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 have been reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors contained a "material uncertainty related to going concern" paragraph but the auditor's report did not contain any statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
3. Earnings/(loss) per share
The calculation of earnings per ordinary share is based on earnings after tax and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The group had two classes of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being those share options granted to employees and suppliers where the exercise price is less than the average market price of the group's ordinary shares during the year, and warrants granted to directors and one former adviser.

4. Share Capital
On 4 March 2025 , the Company raised £500,000 (before expenses) through a subscription and placing of 2,173,913,043 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.023p per share.
The issued share capital as at 30 June 2025 was 6,949,346,617 ordinary shares of 0.01p each (31 December 2024 : 4,775,433,574; 30 June 2024 : 1,021,520,534 of 0.1p each).
5. Other events
On 19 August 2025 , the Company raised £600,000 (before expenses) through a placing and subscription of 4,000,000,000 new ordinary shares at a price of 0.015p per share.
6. On September 2, 2024 , the Company terminated a 6-month consulting agreement that it had entered into with its former CEO, Matthew Blaine Lofgran , following his resignation on 19 May 2024 . The Board of Directors terminated this agreement due to several material breaches of its terms by Mr. Lofgran . Mr. Lofgran is disputing this termination and has filed a case with the County Court in London on June 16, 2025 , for damages totaling £68,343.16 . The Company believes that his case is without merit and plans to defend its position vigorously.
