As announced on 30 September 2025, the Company and M3 Helium have agreed to extend the date on which the Option should be exercised to 30 November 2025. **Fort Dodge, Kansas** De-watering of Rost has been ongoing for approximately a month and, in the past week, the M3 Helium management observed a significant response from the well. Gas shows were noted at the surface from the outset, with consistent gas flow quickly established. This gas flow is now steadily increasing accompanied by rising wellhead pressure. M3 Helium estimates that the flow rate has doubled in the past week and currently exceeding 50 Mcf per day. This aligns with the well’s predicted performance, namely that consistent de-watering can produce meaningful and increasing flow rates over time. M3 Helium’s de-watering programme is progressing in line with expecations.  The strategy is to avoid over-stressing the pump but instead to consistently remove water from the formation.  This measured approach is, so far, delivering the intended outcome of building steadily increasing pressure and gas production rates. This approach, proven in the United States, is considered optimal for developing a well with a long production life. As previously announced, M3 Helium has leased a tube trailer which has now arrived on site.  Connections to the Bauer compressor pump are currently being made whereupon the tube trailer will be filled with raw gas for delivery to a nearby offtaker. **Nebraska** As announced on 13 October 2025, Jasper reached a total depth of 1,680 feet setting 4.5 inch production casing. M3 Helium’s open hole air completion was successful yielding gas flow but, at present, it is not considered to be at commercial levels.  Some water has been encountered in the well and the on site team is assessing to what extent this is limiting flow and, in particular, whether pumping off that water is economically viable (noting that the objective of Jasper was to be a low cost well).  Options under evaluation include stimulation by specialist presplit explosives and ascertaining sustainable water and gas production volumes. **The well is currently shut in, with gas pressure peaking at 54 psi before being released** Whilst the discovery of water adds a further cost to the production of gas, it also indicates that Jasper has a more permeable rock which may prove to be beneficial in development of the wider region. For now, M3 Helium will focus on developing Rost as a significant near term revenue generator, whilst continuing to assess opportunities in Nebraska. **Nick Tulloch, Chief Executive Officer** of Mendell Helium and Chairman of M3 Helium, said: “For some time Rost has been the primary focus of M3 Helium’s operations and we are delighted with the performance of the well. Rost was modelled on analogous wells in a similar formation where sustained de-watering has produced a growing and ultimately a consistent flow rate. So far, this is exactly the behaviour that Rost is exhibiting or, in other words, it is going very much to plan. “To put the current flow rate in context, at present Rost is generating approximately  US$800 of helium per day. This flow rate has only just begun, and whilst the M3 Helium team remains cautious, this result at one month into operations is exactly the one we were all hoping for.” ENDS Engage with the Mendell Helium management team directly by asking questions, watching video
