Equity Capital Markets and Advisory Business

Auctus Advisors is a specialist Equity Capital Markets and Advisory business with a focus in the Energy Sector. The partners have complementary skill sets, with decades of experience across Equity Capital Markets, Investment Banking and the Energy industry. We have worked at Société Générale, Canaccord Capital, BMO Capital Markets and Schlumberger. Most recently we have worked together for many years at GMP FirstEnergy. Auctus has been set up at the beginning of a new decade in which we see significant opportunities in the Energy space. Globally, demand for energy is at record levels and continues to grow. Conversely, investment in traditional energy sources has been severely constrained. We believe this imbalance creates opportunities for both companies and investors. Auctus provides Corporate Broking, Equity Research and Investment Banking services.

<ul>
<li>ADX Energy (ADX AU) C : Portion of deeper target at Welchau flows water on test – Two intervals (total of ~16 m) in the Steinalm formation were tested at a stable rate (natural flow) of 240-290 bbl/d of drilling mud, likely contaminated formation water and some oil traces.</li>
<li>Gas was initially observed at surface. While the achieved flow rate highlights the high permeability of the natural fractures, the absence of hydrocarbons is disappointing and surprising given the results of the logs, the inflow of gas while drilling, the analysis of the retrieved cores (with indication of hydrocarbons) and the fact that oil samples were recovered from this interval.</li>
<li>The well is now being flowed while ADX is running a downhole production logging tool to analyse the contribution of the various sections of the well to flow. </li>

<li>ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.70 per share: Approvals to start well testing at Welchau received.</li>
<li>Rig and test equipment mobilized – All necessary approvals have been received to commence flow testing operations on the Welchau-1 discovery well for the period from 30 October 2024 until 31 March 2025.</li>
<li>A workover rig has been mobilised to the Welchau-1 drill site with flow testing due to commence during the second half of November.</li>

<li>Criterium Energy (CEQ CN) C ; Target price C$0.35 per share: Encouraging drilling results. Decreasing opex – Production to date in October is 950 bbl/d, the same level as reported on 24 September.</li>
<li>The MGH-43 well has encountered 41 m of prospective gross sand intervals with good to excellent oil shows in the main TAF target that will now be perforated.</li>
<li>Due to unstable hole conditions in MGH-43, Criterium was unable to conduct pressure testing and resistivity calculations on the zones of interest and therefore could not determine the estimated productivity rates. </li>

<li>While this is a bit later than we anticipated, we continue to forecast that Criterium will exit 2024 with ~1,250 boe/d production.</li>

<li>ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; target of A$0.75 per share: Reflections on Welchau – IIndependent consultants have calculated that each of the three reservoirs encountered at Welchau (Reifling - 128 metres, Steinalm -118 metres and the Guttenstein - 111 metres) are hydrocarbon bearing with uncertainty on the hydrocarbon type.</li>
<li>Laboratory work on the Steinalm reservoir has confirmed the full properties ofthe 43° API light sweet oil that was recovered in an MDT sample run in the Steinalm Formation.</li>
<li>The vertical extent of this light oil in the Steinalm or in the shallower Reifling and deeper Guttenstein is uncertain and there is no clear evidence of a hydrocarbon-water contact in any of the reservoir formations based on the open hole wireline log data.</li>
