Gold Hydrogen Limited
What is Natural Hydrogen?
Hydrogen generated continuously in the Earth’s crust and trapped like natural gas. It is produced by drilling and flowing to surface, not by electrolysis.
RAMSAY PROJECT GAS SYSTEM (SIMPLIFIED, NOT TO SCALE)
Parara Limestone
Hydrogen-bearing zone. Natural Hydrogen measured at
240m in Ramsay 1.
Kulpara Dolomite, 600 to 800 m
Helium dissolved in formation water, released at surface
by separation.
Granite basement
Source rock. Uranium and thorium decay generates
Helium and splits water into Hydrogen (radiolysis).
He
H₂
Gas migration
Ramsay well
HOW IT FORMS
Serpentinisation Water reacts with iron-rich rocks, oxidising the iron and releasing
Natural Hydrogen.
Radiolysis Radiation from uranium and thorium in granites splits water. The same
decay produces Helium, so the two gases occur together.
WHY IT MATTERS FOR COST AND SCALE
No power input
Electrolysis uses about 50 to 55 kWh of electricity per kg of
Hydrogen. Natural Hydrogen is drilled, brought to surface
and separated and purified, like natural gas.
5.6 trillion t
USGS most probable estimate of Natural Hydrogen potential
worldwide. Recovering about 2% would meet projected net-
zero Hydrogen demand for around 200 years.
Since 2012
A Natural Hydrogen well at Bourakebougou, Mali (circa 98%
Natural Hydrogen) has supplied local power since 2012.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.3997/1365-2397.fb2022087; “The Bourakébougou field, in Mali, represents the first natural hydrogen deposit studied both scientifically and industrially.
It gives us information on its renewability, on the natural flows involved and therefore on its sustainable exploitation. It is possible to estimate that the cost of operating hydrogen would be less than $1/kg, which is significantly cheaper than
any manufactured hydrogen, whether green, grey, or blue. Equivalent work is in progress in other continents, in order to be able to compare our knowledge of this Malian field with other fields in the world, which will make it possible to
better ensure the industrial and societal interest of R&D for this new field.”

very optimistic estimate due to the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation. The estimated quantities of hydrogen and / or helium that may potentially be recovered by the application of future

Notes to Prospective Resource Tables
Prospective Resource Statement for Natural Hydrogen
The estimate of Natural Hydrogen Prospective Resources must be read in conjunction with the notes below, and it should be noted that the estimated quantities of Natural Hydrogen that
may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk
of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially recoverable Natural Hydrogen.
Notes:
1. This reserves statement presents Gold Hydrogen’s Prospective Resources. Gold Hydrogen currently has no Reserves and no Contingent Resources.
2. Estimates are assessed to comply with the ASX Listing Rules for Prospective Resources and SPE-PRMS 2018 with the understanding that naturally occurring hydrogen may be considered a hydrocarbon since it
has energy content and can be used stand alone and/or blended with sales gas. “U” implies Prospective Resources.
3. Per ASX Listing Rules 5.28.4 and 5.28.5 estimates are unrisked and aggregated arithmetically by category, hence caution that the aggregate low estimate may be a very conservative estimate and the aggregate
high estimate may be a very optimistic estimate due to the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation.
4. Probabilistic methods are used to prepare the estimates. The distribution of the estimates is the “full distribution” and has not been truncated by application of the MEPS (minimum economic pool size concept).
5. The Reference Point is at the wellhead/edge of lease (i.e. wellhead facilities) so the estimates have no deduction for flare, vent or fuel consumed in operations.
6. Pg (Chance of Geologic Discovery), Pd (Chance of Development) and Pc (Chance of Commerciality = Pg x Pd) are calculated as a weight average of the P50’s of the H2 (‘000 Tonnes) of the prospects.
7. Pg incorporates Play Risk and Prospect Risk.
8. Pd incorporates an assessment across all SPE-PRMS Commerciality Criteria (i.e. not just economics).
9. Information in the table is rounded. Some totals in the tables may not add due to rounding.
10. This reserves statement:
• is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by the qualified petroleum reserves and resources evaluators listed in note 13 below. Details of each qualified
petroleum reserves and resources evaluator’s employment and professional organisation membership are set out in note 13 below;
• was originally approved by Luke Titus, who is a qualified petroleum reserves and resources evaluator and whose employment and professional organisation membership details are set out in note 13 of this
reserves statement;
• is issued with the prior written consent of Luke Titus and Teof Rodrigues & Associates (“TRA” - involving Teof Rodrigues, Paul Strong, and Greg Horton, whose employment and professional organisation
membership details are set out in note 14 of this reserves statement) as to the form and context in which the estimated Natural Hydrogen resources and the supporting information are presented.
11. There is no change to information or additional information, since the effective date of 30 September 2021, that Gold Hydrogen and TRA are aware of that would materially change the estimates in this reserves
statement.
12. Gold Hydrogen engages independent experts TRA to evaluate reserves and resources.

Prospective Resource Statement for Helium
The estimate of Helium Prospective Resources must be read in conjunction with the notes below, and it should be noted that the estimated quantities of Helium that may
potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery
and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially recoverable Helium.
Notes:
1. This table presents Gold Hydrogen's Prospective Resources for Helium in the Ramsay Field of Yorke Peninsula only. Gold Hydrogen currently has no Reserves and no Contingent Resources.
2. Estimates are assessed to comply with the ASX Listing Rules for Prospective Resources and SPE-PRMS 2018. SPE have provided guidance regarding the Extension of PRMS Principles to Non-
Hydrocarbon/Non-Traditional Situations including Helium (and Hydrogen).
Refer: https://www.spe.org/en/industry/reserves/non-hydrocarbons/
3. Per ASX LRs 5.28.4&5 estimates are unrisked and aggregated arithmetically by category, hence caution that the aggregate low estimate may be a very conservative estimate and the aggregate high
estimate may be a very optimistic estimate due to the portfolio effects of arithmetic summation.
4. Probabilistic methods are used to prepare the estimates. The distribution of the estimates is the "full distribution" and has not been truncated by application of the MEPS (minimum economic pool
size) concept.
5. The Reference Point is at the wellhead/edge of lease (i.e. wellhead facilities) so the estimates have no deduction for flare, vent or fuel consumed in operations.
6. Pg (Chance of geologic Discovery), Pd (Chance of Development) and Pc (Chance of Commerciality = Pg x Pd) are calculated as a weight average of the P50's of the Helium Bcf (Billion Cubic Feet) of the
prospect formations.
7. Pg incorporates Play Risk and Prospect Risk.
8. Pd incorporates an assessment across all SPE-PRMS Commerciality Criteria (i.e. not just economics).
9. Information in the table and throughout the Report is rounded. Some totals in the tables may not add due to rounding.
10. There is no change to information or additional information, since the effective date of 21 February 2024, that Gold Hydrogen and TRA are aware of that would materially change the estimates in this
reserves statement.
