Gold Hydrogen Limited – Quarterly Activities Report
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE DECEMBER QUARTER
Helium-3 detected in Ramsay Project gas samples by
Oxford University laboratory testing. Helium-3 is an
extremely rare and valuable commodity, and is
expected to play a pivotal role in the development of
nuclear fusion as a future source of energy. Current
pricing for Helium-3 is approximately USD18.7m per
kilogram.
Helium purities of up to 36.9% (air-corrected)
measured during the Company’s Stage 2 well testing
program. This is currently reported to be amongst the
highest purities for Helium discoveries in the world.
Stage 2 exploration well testing demonstrated
promising and increasing purities of both Natural
Hydrogen and Helium being brought to and measured
at surface as the Ramsay 1 and 2 wells were dewatered
(refer Figures 2 and 3).
Analysis of the Company’s drilling and testing
campaign identified a potential 180m thick and
extremely high-purity Kulpara Dolomite zone which
featured positive Helium shows in the exploration well
testing of Ramsay 2.
Expansion of Gold Hydrogen’s South Australian project
footprint, with the award of petroleum exploration
licence application PELA792, as displayed in Figures 1
and 5.
Technical team strengthened by the appointment of
Peter Bubendorfer as Chief Geologist to work with the
existing geological team of Frank Glass and Julien
Bourdet as well as with the Company’s Chief Technical
Officer Billy Hadi-Subrata.

EXPLORATION AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES
General Background
Gold Hydrogen is focused on the discovery and development of Natural Hydrogen and Helium gases
in a potentially extensive and world class Natural Hydrogen and Helium province in South Australia.
The domestic and global demand for Hydrogen, combined with new Natural Hydrogen exploration
techniques and experienced personnel, provides Gold Hydrogen with an extraordinary opportunity to
define and ultimately develop a new Natural Hydrogen gas province. Further to this, Helium is
extremely rare and expensive, there is limited world-wide production, and no production of Helium in
Australia at present. Gold Hydrogen is well placed to potentially prosper from this opportunity.

`
The combined permit area of the Gold Hydrogen group exceeds 75,000km2. Gold Hydrogen holds one
granted exploration license (the Ramsay Project - PEL 687) and one application area, whilst its two 100%
owned subsidiary companies (White Hydrogen Australia and Byrock Resources) hold an additional seven
(7) applications for Natural Hydrogen and Helium exploration within South Australia. Gold Hydrogen is
also the preferred applicant for four (4) gas storage exploration licenses applications (GSELA) covering an
area approximating 8,000km2 within the Yorke Peninsula portion of PEL 687 in South Australia. These
storage licence applications are in addition to the granted exploration licence and application licences.
A summary of the status of the group’s petroleum and storage licence tenure at the end of the Quarter is
outlined in Appendix A.
Detection of Helium-3 in Ramsay Project Gas Samples
As reported in detail by the Company on 30 October 2024, Oxford University’s specialist noble gas
research laboratory within its Department of Earth Sciences, measured and confirmed the presence of
Helium-3 (³He) in gas samples taken from the Ramsay 2 well, at depths from 280 meters to 1,000 meters.
The Oxford University Department of Earth Sciences analysis confirmed that:
the Ramsay Project Helium purity levels of up to 36.9% 1 rank among the highest ever recorded globally;
levels of Helium-3 have been confirmed up to the magnitude of 901 ppt (atmospheric 3He is 7.2 ppt);
and
the isotopic analysis results from samples tested suggest up to 3.47ppb 3He within a 36.9% Helium
sample.
Refer also to Tables 1 - 3 for further information in accordance with Listing Rule 5.30.
To assist shareholders and interested investors better understand the Helium-3 market and its potential
future growth opportunities, additional information outlined in detail in the Company’s 30 October 2024
announcement on Helium-3 included:
Helium-3 is an Extremely Rare and Valuable Gas
Helium-3 (³He), is an extremely rare gas to be found on Earth (7.2 parts per trillion (ppt) within the
atmosphere) and represents only a tiny fraction of the planet's Helium production, and is primarily
captured from the decay of Tritium in nuclear weapons. Information on naturally occurring Helium-3
(³He) on Earth is extremely limited. The largest known source of Helium-3 is the Moon, with its surface
soil containing Helium-3 (³He) due to solar wind accumulation over billions of years. In contrast, Earth’s
Helium-3 (³He) concentrations found in natural gas and volcanic emissions are extremely scarce.
Commercial supplies of Helium-3 (³He) could significantly impact the global energy market by providing a
clean, efficient fuel for nuclear fusion, potentially revolutionizing energy production. Based on existing
fusion technology (e.g. Tokamak fusion reactors developed by companies such as Commonwealth Fusion
Systems 2), Helium-3’s use in fusion reactors could generate vast amounts of energy with zero or minimal
radioactive waste, providing a sustainable alternative to current energy sources.
All Natural Hydrogen and Helium sample results have been corrected for air contamination

`
The scarcity of Helium-3 on Earth as the fuel source for Tokamak reactors has been the major constraint
on their scale-up and commercial use. This has led to a number of companies from countries including
the USA, China and Russia pursuing plans to extract Helium-3 (³He) from lunar regolith in the coming
decade.
The Strategic Value of Helium-3 3
In addition to nuclear fusion energy, Helium-3 is a highly valuable and rare isotope, indispensable in
advanced fields such as quantum computing, cryogenics, medical imaging, and nuclear material
monitoring. With its neutron absorption capability, Helium-3 plays an essential role in neutron detection
and future technologies:
current prices for Helium-3 exceed $2,500 per litre (USD 70.8 million per McF or USD 18.7 million per
kg), over 140,000 times the value of Helium-4; and
this isotope is vital for nuclear fusion, a field seeing rapid advancements, especially through projects
like Commonwealth Fusion Systems, backed by major stakeholders including the US Energy
Department, Khosla Investments, and the Bill Gates founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures2.
How is Naturally Present Helium-3 (3He) in the Subsurface Derived?
Naturally present Helium-3 in the subsurface derives from rock that interacted with the deep Earth
interior, the lower mantle being a primordial and undegassed material. For example, Mid-Ocean Ridge
Basalts (MORBs) are mafic rocks derived from larger mantle domains that appear to sample deep mantle
3
He transported to the melting domain in the upper mantle by large-scale mantle convection. 3He
enrichment is quantified by 3He/4He ratios relative to the 3He/4He ratio in air (R/RA). Granitic basement
rocks are formed by melting at the base of the continental crust and have very low range of 0.01-0.1 R/RA
due to their high content of radioactive elements (U, Th) generating 4He only and lack of mantle material
interaction. Enrichment in 3He in granitic basement can be a marker for intrusions of deep magmatic
material or interaction with deep mafic rocks.

Exploration Well Testing Summary – Ramsay 1 & 2 Exploration Wells
Stage 2 exploration well testing results received during the third and fourth quarters of 2024 indicated
increasing levels for purities of both Natural Hydrogen and Helium measured by equipment at surface. As
depicted in Figure 3 for Natural Hydrogen from the Ramsay 2 well, the shallow Hydrogen zone showed an
increasing trend for daily recorded levels of Natural Hydrogen (corrected for air contamination) at surface.
As previously reported, the Company measured Natural Hydrogen of purities up to 95.8% 4 across seven
(7) zones within Ramsay 2, with the highest recorded at 531m depth. Refer also Tables 4 and 5 for further
information in accordance with Listing Rule 5.30.
Testing on Ramsay 1 commenced seven (7) days after Ramsay 2, with the Company focussing on the
Helium zone deeper in the formation. As reported by the Company after the end of the Quarter, the
recorded Helium concentrations measured during the Stage 2 well testing of Ramsay 1 showed a
consistent increase, and did not appear to have reached a stable maximum value at the end of the testing
period, as depicted in Figure 4. Refer also Tables 3 - 5 for further information in accordance with Listing
Rule 5.30.
The overall results of the exploration well testing program identified a 180m thick and potentially prolific
Helium zone within the Kulpara Dolomite formation, commencing at approximately 612m depth.
Furthermore, the testing program proved that Helium can be extracted to surface, and that although the
Ramsay 1 location showed water ingress during testing, the analysis indicated that it could flow up to 100
MScf/day with water on an unconstrained basis. This conclusion has been reached on the basis of a
narrow preliminary exploration well, and it is expected that higher rates could be achieved in the future
from production-style wells.
The Company is now studying 2025 exploration and development options to extract free Natural
Hydrogen and Helium from new wells to be drilled in up-dip locations based on the interpretive results of
the 2D seismic survey.

Expansion of South Australian Footprint
During the Quarter, the Company was awarded a further petroleum licence application (PELA 792)
with an area of approximately 1,960km2, split into three (3) areas, as shown below in Figure 5. The
eastern-most portion of PELA 792 is contiguous with PELA 688 held by Gold Hydrogen’s 100% owned
subsidiary Byrock Resources Pty Ltd. The western portions of PELA 792 are located on the Eyre
Peninsula and are close to the State Government’s proposed hydrogen power plant facility at Whyalla,
and their Hydrogen Hub proposed for Port Bonython, both of which are initiatives of the Office of
Hydrogen Power SA, established by the Department for Energy and Mining in 2022.
About the Whyalla Hydrogen Power Plant Facility 5
The South Australian Government has committed more than half a billion dollars to its Hydrogen Jobs
Plan to build a world leading hydrogen power plant, electrolyser and storage facility near Whyalla by
early 2026.
The facility includes a 200MW renewable hydrogen power plant which will be a new source of flexible
power, providing additional grid stability for homes and businesses around the state by using excess
renewable energy generated from large-scale wind and solar farms to provide a consistent output of
supply.
About the Port Bonython Hydrogen Hub 6
The South Australian Government and the private sector are collaborating to deliver the Port
Bonython Hydrogen Hub as a multi-user precinct leveraging the state's renewable energy
opportunities and enabling export from a clean hydrogen industrial hub. The Port Bonython Hydrogen
Hub is proposed to be South Australia’s first large-scale clean hydrogen production precinct for both
export and domestic markets and is an integral part of South Australia’s first-mover strategy to enter
the global hydrogen market.
Located in the Upper Spencer Gulf, Port Bonython has:
an existing deep-water liquid hydrocarbon export terminal; and
over 2000 hectares of developable land.
This export facility is intended to enable South Australia to ship hydrogen products made using
renewable energy offshore while creating regional jobs.

Future Activities
Based on the integration of the drilling and testing results with the Ramsay 2D data acquired in the
second half of 2024, Gold Hydrogen is in the process of planning its 2025 drilling and data acquisition
campaign to delineate the Ramsay Natural Hydrogen and Helium accumulation.
This will involve a number of wells, specifically targeting the different pay zones within the identified
structure and using a modified well design to enable testing of the different zones with zonal specific
testing configurations. The data from these wells will constrain the pilot project area and design, with
the aim of demonstrating the commercial production potential of both Natural Hydrogen and Helium
from the Ramsay Project.
In parallel, an extensive 3D seismic survey is being considered over the Ramsay Project area, to
illuminate the stratigraphic and structural subsurface complexities, in order to facilitate detailed
resource assessments and to optimise drilling locations for future exploration and appraisal wells.
The Ramsay 2D regional seismic data has revealed several Natural Hydrogen and Helium prospects,
some of which will be tested with dedicated exploration wells. Selection and timing of these wells will
be done in conjunction with the delineation drilling activities, in order to take advantage of the
presence of the drilling rig and experienced crew.
Groundbreaking Exploration Testing for Both Natural Hydrogen and Helium
The Ramsay Project well testing program was the first dedicated Natural Hydrogen and Helium well
test operation conducted in Australia, and to the Company’s knowledge, it is likely one of only a few
in the world. The Company considers this to represent the initial steps of an exciting journey, which
is not dissimilar to that undertaken by various world-renowned and ultimately successful oil and gas
projects, such as the early days in the CSG and shale industries. For those particular resources, the
exploration and completion techniques were developed and optimised over time, improving project
economics and ultimately leading to major projects being developed. The Company anticipates a
similar path forward for its Natural Hydrogen and Helium prospective resources, although the
timeframe may be quicker as drilling and completions technologies developed for other gas resources
may be applicable to its Natural Hydrogen and Helium projects.
First Key Step on the Journey to Future Potential Development
The Company is of the view that the Ramsay Project contains significant prospective resources of both
Natural Hydrogen and Helium, with large scale potential that it is aiming to be potentially developed
over time.
There is very little data available for dedicated Natural Hydrogen wells anywhere in the world due to
the lack of analogue wells. To the Company’s knowledge, the only Natural Hydrogen field currently in
production is located in Mali, West Africa, where Natural Hydrogen production is used to power the
small town of Bourakébougou. It has been reported that the Natural Hydrogen wells in Mali do not
have any decline in production and are continually regenerating and producing at the same rate. 7
Helium is extremely valuable and indicatively, longer-term bulk pricing is expected to approximate
USD450 per Mcf (thousand cubic feet). 8

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. These risks relate
to the presence, recovery, and potential volumes of Natural Hydrogen and Helium, but also due to the
location of the current and potential project sites within agricultural areas and proximal to National
Parks on both the Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island, requiring significant landholder and
community engagement. The worldwide, Federal and South Australian Government and industry
efforts to secure Hydrogen as an alternative energy source provides confidence that any technical and
social concerns may be overcome.
