ASX Announcement
Ramsay Helium Testing Confirms Extensive, Productive
Reservoir - Commercial Development Planning Accelerates
as Contingent Resource Assessment Advances
Natural Hydrogen Flow-Test Results Pending
Highlights:
1. Ramsay Helium flow test campaign summary
Completed Helium flow testing across all three Ramsay wells in under three months, with no
lost time injuries and no H&S incidents.
Flowed Helium to surface, then purified and bottled it onsite - the first Helium bottled in Aus-
tralia since the Darwin plant closed in late 2023.
Scaled pumping rates sevenfold to approximately 14,000 bbl/day at Ramsay 3, the highest rate
achieved at the Ramsay Project to date.
2. Results and preliminary conclusions from the Ramsay Helium Project
A large, connected and highly productive Helium-bearing Kulpara Dolomite reservoir, con-
firmed across three wells spanning approximately 2.2 km.
Project-wide sustained / stabilised air-corrected Helium concentrations average approxi-
mately 15.2%, compared with global commercial Helium projects that can operate at concen-
trations as low as 1% where Helium is produced as a by-product.
Project-wide modelling indicates Helium gas rate potential of up to approximately 37 Mscf/day
per well, around 37% above the approximately 27 Mscf/day per well case identified in the in-
dependent Worley assessment as potentially commercially viable.
3. Next steps and near-term Catalysts
The results support further evaluation of a potential commercial Helium development using as
few as two wells, consistent with the development case identified in Worley’s independent as-
sessment, subject to resource certification, engineering, commercial and economic evaluation.
The Company is accelerating planning for a staged, modular Helium pilot designed to leverage
existing Ramsay wells, potentially reducing upfront capital requirements and shortening the
pathway to initial production.
The Company is targeting a maiden Contingent Resource sign-off in November 2026.

The market backdrop remains supportive: Australia currently has no domestic Helium produc-
tion and imports 100% of the Helium it consumes, while reported long-term contract prices
have increased to greater than US$600/Mcf on an all-in plant-gate basis.
Results from the Natural Hydrogen flow testing of the Parara Limestone at Ramsay are currently
being interpreted and the Company will provide updates once an internal review is complete
and laboratory data has been received and analysed.
Gold Hydrogen Managing Director, Neil McDonald, said:
“Importantly, our appraisal flow testing confirms Helium flow rates of up to approximately 37 Mcf per day
per well, materially exceeding the case identified in Worley’s independent assessment of 27 Mcf per day
potentially commercially viable position. This is 37% above their estimate. Combined with sustained Helium
concentrations averaging approximately 15.2% across the project, these results strengthen the basis for
advancing our commercial development planning.
The market backdrop remains supportive. Australia currently has no domestic Helium production and
imports 100% of the Helium it consumes, while reported long-term contract prices have increased to greater
than US$600/Mcf.
Completing our Helium flow testing across all three Ramsay wells is a major milestone for Gold Hydrogen
and represents a significant step forward in advancing the project towards commercial development. In less
than three months, we have demonstrated Helium flow to surface across three wells spanning
approximately 2.2 kilometres, successfully purified and bottled Helium onsite, and achieved pumping rates
of approximately 14,000 barrels of fluid per day at Ramsay 3, and we know that it can achieve the 20,000
barrels fluid per day due to the appraisal that has been undertaken. These results provide compelling
evidence of the scale, continuity and productivity of the Helium-bearing reservoir.
Our focus now is on converting these results into value for shareholders. We are accelerating planning for a
staged, modular Helium pilot that could utilise our existing wells, with the objective of minimising upfront
capital requirements and shortening the pathway to initial production. We are also targeting independent
Contingent Resource sign-off in November, an important next step in progressing Ramsay towards
commercialisation.
Against a backdrop of Australia relying entirely on imported Helium, we believe Ramsay has the potential
to become an important future source of domestic supply. And with Natural Hydrogen flow-test results from
the Parara Limestone now being interpreted, we have another potentially significant opportunity ahead of
us.
We have made substantial progress in establishing the Helium opportunity at Ramsay. Our priority now is
to translate that technical success into a credible development pathway, while continuing to evaluate the
broader Natural Hydrogen potential of the project.”

Further Details
Further to the Company’s announcement of 6 October 2026, the Directors of Gold Hydrogen Limited (Gold
Hydrogen, ASX: GHY, the Company) are pleased to advise that Phase 2 of the Helium flow testing program
at the Ramsay 3 well, Ramsay Project (PEL 687), Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, has been completed. This
concludes the Helium flow testing component of the Company’s 2026 Ramsay flow test campaign, which
has now tested the Helium-bearing Kulpara Dolomite at Ramsay 1, Ramsay 2 and Ramsay 3.
Ramsay 3 – Phase 2 Helium Flow Test
Ramsay 3 is the Company’s purpose-designed, larger-diameter scale-up well. Its 7-inch cased, cemented
and perforated completion provides approximately 2.3 times the wellbore cross-sectional area of the
Ramsay 1 and Ramsay 2 wells and accommodates a high-capacity ESP rated at up to 20,000 bbl/day.
Phase 1 of the Ramsay 3 program (10 to 30 September 2026), with the ESP set at approximately 730m in
the lower section of the Kulpara Dolomite, delivered gross fluid rates of up to 13,000 bbl//day, as reported
on 6 October 2026. For Phase 2, the ESP was repositioned shallower within the 180m gross Kulpara
Dolomite reservoir, and a stepped-rate flow testing program was undertaken over a number of days.
Phase 2 Test Result Summary:
1. Gross fluid rates were increased in stages to a maximum of approximately 14,000 bbl/day – the highest
rate achieved at the Ramsay Project to date, around seven times the rates achieved at Ramsay 1 and
Ramsay 2;
2. The approximately 14,000 bbl/day rate was achieved with an implied drawdown of approximately 350
psi, consistent with the Productivity Index of approximately 40 bbl/day/psi reported for Ramsay 3 on
14 September 2026 – the highest at the Ramsay Project to date;
3. Helium was flowed to surface and separated, with an air-corrected Helium concentration of up to 12.6%
recorded during the Ramsay 3 Helium test program;
4. The well has significantly more productivity potential and current testing program suggested that flow
rates were impacted by a Productivity Index (well deliverability) which was twice the rate of that
expected;
5. The project-wide gas–water ratio presented is derived from downhole bailer sampling at Ramsay 1, as
reported on 5 August 2026;
6. Pressure, temperature and flow rate data were acquired across each rate step, adding to the Phase 1
pressure build-up data, which showed negligible pressure depletion and indicated a preliminary
drainage radius of approximately 1.25 km; and
7. Gas and water samples have been collected for independent laboratory compositional and isotopic
analysis.
Full technical details are set out in Table 3 (ASX Listing Rule 5.30). The figures stated above are preliminary
field-derived measurements and remain subject to confirmation by further independent laboratory
analysis.

* Notes: Arithmetic average of the stabilised / sustained air-corrected Helium concentrations recorded from the Kulpara Dolomite at Ramsay
1 (19%), Ramsay 2 (20%) and Ramsay 3 (stabilised concentration of 6.5% with samples up to 12.6%), equal to 15.2%. Ramsay 2 also recorded
up to 19% air-corrected Helium from the Hiltaba Basement, which is not included in the average. Project-wide assumptions in the table are
based on the Company’s preliminary interpretation of all flow test data acquired to date.
Modelled Helium Rates for a 20,000 bbl/day Well – Project-Wide Basis
At Ramsay, Helium is carried in solution in formation water and liberated at surface by separation. Gas
production is therefore a direct function of the volume of water produced and its gas–water ratio, and
Helium production is a function of the Helium concentration of that gas.2
The Company’s previous deliverability modelling (5 August 2026) was based on Ramsay 1 data, including
an air-corrected 19% stabilised Helium concentration. With all three wells now tested, the Company has
updated this modelling on a project-wide basis, adopting the project-wide average air-corrected Helium
concentration of 15.2% (including Ramsay 3), the downhole bailer gas–water ratio of approximately 3
scf/bbl as the base case, and the surface-measured ratio from Ramsay 1 of up to 6.4 scf/bbl as an upside
case.
Gold Hydrogen Limited, Level 14, 110 Eagle Street (GPO Box 801) Brisbane, Qld 4000 | info@goldhydrogen.com.au | ABN 74 647 468 899 | 5
Reservoir pressure at approximately 900m measured depth is estimated at approximately 1,280 psi on a
normally pressured basis.2
The approximately 500 to 590 psi of drawdown required to produce 20,000
bbl/day appears achievable through further optimisation of completion and design parameters, and the
14,000 bbl/day delivered by Ramsay 3 at an implied drawdown of approximately 350 psi has materially
narrowed the gap between measured and modelled rates. Moving forward, the Company believes that
further optimisation to reach a 20,000 bbl/day rate can still be achieved by improving ESP and well design.
Technical and Operational Objectives Achieved Across the 2026 Helium Campaign
The 2026 Ramsay flow test campaign was designed to measure flow rates across the Helium-bearing
formations and to provide the data required to support Contingent Resource assessment, development
planning and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED). The Helium component of the campaign has achieved
each of its key operational objectives, as summarised in Table 2.

Near-Term Pathway to a Contingent Resource Sign-Off
A Contingent Resource is an estimate of the quantity of Helium potentially recoverable from a known
accumulation, where a potential commercial development project has been identified. Booking a maiden
Contingent Resource is an important step for the Ramsay Project, moving it beyond Prospective Resources
and providing an independent, recognised framework for development planning, partnering and funding
discussions.
The Ramsay flow test campaign has now acquired the key dynamic data that the Company identified as
required to support this assessment: Helium flowed to surface at three wells, reservoir deliverability
quantified, Helium concentration measured under flowing conditions, reservoir continuity tested across
multiple wells and a recovery and purification route demonstrated at field scale.
The near-term pathway to a Contingent Resource sign-off comprises:
1. Laboratory confirmation – completion of all independent compositional and isotopic analysis of gas and
water samples from all three wells;
2. Integrated reservoir modelling – incorporation of the flow, pressure build-up, DTS and Productivity
Index data into the Company’s geological models, including a dissolved-phase quantitative volumetric
assessment;
3. Development project definition – definition of the modular development concept, which provides the
identified development project required under the SPE Petroleum Resources Management System
(PRMS) and its guidance for non-hydrocarbon resources, including Helium; and
4. Independent assessment and sign-off – review and certification of the Contingent Resource estimate
by an independent resource evaluator, with results to be reported in accordance with the ASX Listing
Rules, targeted for November 2026.
Accelerated Modular Helium Development Planning
As reported by the Company on 20 May 2026, the independent Worley assessment concluded that a
commercial Helium development at Ramsay may potentially be viable with as few as two wells, subject to
further technical, commercial and economic evaluation. Building on the completed flow test campaign, the
Gold Hydrogen Limited, Level 14, 110 Eagle Street (GPO Box 801) Brisbane, Qld 4000 | info@goldhydrogen.com.au | ABN 74 647 468 899 | 7
Company is accelerating planning for a staged, modular Helium pilot development designed to make
maximum use of the four Ramsay wells that have already been drilled, as illustrated in Figure 1:
Figure 1 – Indicative modular Helium development concept (schematic only, not to scale)
Modular Helium Pilot Development Components
Ramsay 2, 3, 4 – Helium producers: The opportunity to utilise existing Helium wells for an accelerated
and low-cost Phase 1 modular Helium development. The Ramsay 3 purpose-built 7-inch scale-up well
has delivered the highest flow rates (up to approximately 14,000 bbl/day) and productivity (approxi-
mately 40 bbl/day/psi) at the Ramsay Project to date. Ramsay 4 will also be considered as a new pro-
ducer and can be cased and cemented with a 7 inch casing.
Ramsay 5 – potential new development well: the Company will also assess the potential drilling of an
additional Ramsay 5 development and production well, applying the larger-diameter design validated at
Ramsay 3.
Ramsay 1 – re-injection well: Ramsay 1 has operated as the designated re-injection well during the 2026
campaign and is planned to continue in this role, returning produced formation water to the aquifer.
Modular Helium plant: a modular, skid-mounted purification plant combining membrane separation
with a pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) stage to reach commercial-grade (approximately 99%) Helium.
Vendor design and costings for a modular commercial Helium plant have been completed with Quantum
Technology Corporation and will now be further progressed following the completion of the Helium flow
testing campaign.
Gold Hydrogen Limited, Level 14, 110 Eagle Street (GPO Box 801) Brisbane, Qld 4000 | info@goldhydrogen.com.au | ABN 74 647 468 899 | 8
Subject to Contingent Resource definition, the Company intends to progress an accelerated FEED for a
Helium-focused development and continues commercial discussions with technology, offtake and
distribution partners.
The development opportunity is supported by a favourable market backdrop. Australia has had no domestic
Helium production since the closure of the Darwin Helium plant in late 2023 and imports 100% of the
Helium it consumes, while global supply remains tight following the disruption at Qatar’s Ras Laffan facility.
Reported long-term Helium contract prices have increased to greater than US$600/Mcf on an all-in plant-
gate basis (refer Reference 9).
Natural Hydrogen Flow Testing of the Parara Limestone
With the Helium campaign complete, the Gold Hydrogen team are now focussed on the interpretation of
the Natural Hydrogen flow testing from the Parara Limestone at Ramsay 3.
Ramsay 3 recorded air-corrected Natural Hydrogen concentrations of up to 97% from calibrated mud gas
and isotube data during drilling. The flow test program provides the first flow data from the Natural
Hydrogen-bearing Parara Limestone in the cased and cemented Ramsay 3 well, with key objectives to:
flow Natural Hydrogen to surface from the Parara Limestone;
measure Natural Hydrogen concentrations and gas composition under flowing conditions;
acquire reservoir deliverability, pressure and flow rate data; and
collect gas samples for independent laboratory analysis.
A successful result would further demonstrate the dual-commodity potential of the Ramsay Project, with
Natural Hydrogen and Helium potentially developed from shared wells and surface infrastructure. Gold
Hydrogen will provide further updates to the market once the preliminary interpretation of data is
complete.
Important Risk Commentary
It is important to note that there remain both geological and potential development risks associated with
the Ramsay Project and the Company’s commercial and business objectives. The results described in this
announcement are from exploration and appraisal flow tests and do not confirm commercially recoverable
Helium, sustained long-term flow rates, or project economics. Field measurements reported in this
announcement have uncertainty, are preliminary and remain subject to laboratory confirmation. Project-
wide averages are arithmetic averages of results from three wells and individual well results vary, as shown
in Table 1. Modelled flow rates at 20,000 bbl/day have not been demonstrated by flow testing to date.
Exploratory flow testing of the Parara Limestone may not result in a flow of Natural Hydrogen to surface.
There is no certainty that Contingent Resources will be able to be booked, that an accelerated FEED or a
Ramsay development will proceed, or that commercial viability can be established.
Gold Hydrogen’s exploration and appraisal activities for Natural Hydrogen and Helium are regulated under
the South Australian Energy Resources Act 2000 and associated regulations. The modelling of Natural
Hydrogen and Helium reservoirs, and potential production rates, is based on industry best practice relying
Gold Hydrogen Limited, Level 14, 110 Eagle Street (GPO Box 801) Brisbane, Qld 4000 | info@goldhydrogen.com.au | ABN 74 647 468 899 | 9
on petroleum industry methods. Gold Hydrogen’s project assessment and development follows that
recommended by the Society of Petroleum Engineers and its Petroleum Resources Management System
(SPE-PRMS).
Cautionary Note on Modelled Flow Rates
The modelled flow rates are outcomes of the Company’s deliverability modelling prepared by Mr Billy Hadi
Subrata, Gold Hydrogen’s Chief Technical Officer.
The maximum rate demonstrated to date is approximately 14,000 bbl/day at Ramsay 3. Due to a range of
sub-surface and operational conditions, actual flow rates achieved may differ materially from modelled
rates. The modelled rates are not an estimate of Helium reserves or contingent resources and should not
be relied upon as such. They are forward-looking statements based on modelling work to date, and should
be read subject to the Forward Looking Statement below.
Qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources Evaluator (QPRRE) Statement
The information in this announcement that relates to the results of the Ramsay 1, Ramsay 2 and Ramsay 3
flow tests, the derived Productivity Indices, the project-wide averages and the modelled flow rates is based
on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr Billy Hadi Subrata,
Chief Technical Officer for Gold Hydrogen, who is a Qualified Petroleum Reserves and Resources Evaluator.
Mr Hadi Subrata has consented to the inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it
appears.
