Ascent Resources plc Provides Update on Utah Operations Ascent Resources Plc announced further to its announcement on 20 June relating to the agreement and initiation of a work program to be executed by ARB Energy Utah, LLC (the "Operator") to bring shut-in wells in the Wolf Point area in Utah back into production, that the Operator has reported to the Company that the compression effect of the change to a lower 70 psi pressure gathering system resulted in four existing wells being put back into production following 6-month of being shut in. The wells resumed producing on 25 June and the Operator has reported the initial production rates have exceed their prior expectations with a recorded initial 24-hour production rates of 776 Mcfd (c.129 boed) and 6 bbl/d for the four wells. The wells are expected to remain in production and production rates are expected to stabilise over the next 30 days. Elsewhere on the acreage, the Operator is proceeding with the installation of water separation tanks at a further five currently shut-in wells and expects to bring them back into production shortly. As announced on 20 June, these wells were part of an initial program of 15 wells identified by the Operator. Given these encouraging results, the Operator intends to scale up the work-over operations drawing from their comprehensive review of potential opportunities from the current inventory of ca.40 shut-in wells. As with many wells reviewed, the Wolf Point wells have future value in the form of recompletions. This operational success allows for future recompletion opportunities. Updates will be announced as appropriate and in due course. Independently of this work program, on the Locin Oil Corporation operated acreage in Colorado, road clearing has also allowed for 55Mcfd to be added to production from one well. Ankündigung • Jun 20
Ascent Resources plc Announces Initiation of Work-Over Opportunities Ascent Resources Plc announced that, further to its conditional acquisition of a 10% interest in leases operated by ARB Energy Utah, LLC and rights to 50% of incremental production generated from work-over style operations on existing wells which are 100% funded by Ascent as announced 22 May 2025, together with the Operator (the Parties) have reviewed the work-over opportunities relating to existing (producing and shut-in) wells in the acreage and have identified the first 15 wells to target which have an aggregate budget of $100,000 to implement. As part of initiating a low-cost operational work program to reinstate production from multiple previously producing wells, Ascent has agreed with the Operator to install compression units to address high export pipeline back-pressures which is currently preventing the wells from producing. The first operation will seek to bring the first five wells back into production. Ascent has agreed to pay 100% of the costs of these operations such that Ascent will receive a 50% interest in the increased production generated from this first operational investment. These amounts will be advanced by Ascent to ARB via a loan note ahead of the closing of the acquisition (" Closing"), which remains conditional on shareholder approval to issue new shares. Subject to Closing the loan will be extinguished and the amounts will be treated as JOA partner contributions for payment of operational costs. The gas gathering third-party has been advised to expect additional volumes once production has been restored. Over the coming weeks, the Operator expects to proceed with further rig-less operations. Updates will be announced as appropriate and in due course. Ankündigung • Jun 03

Amur Minerals Corporation Announces Cessation of Discussions with Ascent Resources Plc Ascent Resources Plc (AIM:AST) ("Ascent" or, the "Company"), noted Amur Minerals Corporation (AIM:AMC) ("Amur") announcement, regarding the cessations of discussions regarding thenon-binding indicative proposal of a possible share offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amur by Ascent. Ascent is surprised and disappointed with this announcement given the last communication between the parties was three weeks ago with Ascent confirming its forward process and timetables to achieve the possible combination, following which Ascent has been waiting for the Amur board to engage further on the proposal. Given that Ascent is expecting imminently the result of its €3.5 million+ arbitration claim against its JV partner in Slovenia, Ascent still believes that a combination of the two companies would be in the interest of both shareholder groups. Accordingly, Ascent is exploring the possibility to put forward a binding offer to the shareholders for the issued and to be issued share capital of Amur. New Risk • Jun 30
New major risk - Negative shareholders equity The company has negative equity. Total equity: -UK£1.5m This is considered a major risk.

Ascent Resources Announces Intention to Bid for Amur Minerals The board of directors of Ascent Resources Plc (AIM:AST) announced their intention to bid for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Amur Minerals Corporation (AIM:AMC) following a period of protracted discussions with the Board of Amur. Ascent's vision is that Ascent and Amur would combine to form a larger, well funded and more liquid, entity combining Amur's cash (post the recently announced asset sale and subsequent dividend) with Ascent's ESG Metals project pipeline in LATAM, which typically have low geological risk and near term and sustainable cashflows, in addition to the significant upside exposure of Ascent's funded EUR 500+ million Energy Charter Treaty damages claim(the "Potential Combination"). Ascent submitted a non-binding indicative proposal to the Board of Amur in November 2022 to acquire 100% of the issued and to be issued share capital of Amur (post payment of its dividend as subsequently announced 24 May 2023) in a share-for-share exchange on a ratio of approximately 1 new Ascent share for every 21 Amur shares in issue (the "Exchange Ratio") (subject to the reservations set out below) (the "Indicative Proposal"). On the assumption that Amur only has assets of $5,000,000 in cash (post payment of dividend) and no further material liabilities, the indicative proposal is equivalent to a gross equity valuation of 6.1 pence per new Ascent share (based on an exchange rate of $1 = £0.8051). Despite multiple conversations with the Board of Amur and multiple follow up correspondence, the Company has as yet been unable to elicit a written response to their offer. The Indicative Proposal also included the intention to combine the skills of both executive teams, as well as other potential changes to the enlarged groups non-executive directors. It is intended that the enlarged group would have a majority of board directors from Ascent. The Exchange Ratio, based on Ascents volume weighted average share price of 3.6716 pence yesterday, being the last business day immediately prior to the date of this announcement, currently represents a value of approximately 0.175 pence per Amur share. At the current value of approximately 0.175 pence per Amur share implied by the Exchange Ratio, a potential offer, if made, when added to the 1.8 pence dividend to be paid by Amur would represent a premium of approximately: 7.3%. to the Amur closing price of 1.840 pence per share on 31 May 2023, being the last business day immediately prior to this announcement; 15.3%. to the monthly average volume weighted average price calculations for Amur shares over the three-month period starting on and including 1 March 2023, being 1.713 pence per share; and 47.5%. to the monthly average volume weighted average price for Amur shares over the six-month period starting on and including 1 December 2022, being 1.339 pence per share Under the terms of the Indicative Proposal, it is expected that Amur shareholders would own approximately 28.6%. of the enlarged group, and Ascent shareholders would own approximately 71.4%. of the enlarged group. Given the Indicative Proposal is currently proposed to be structured as an share-for-share exchange effected by either scheme of arrangement or plan of arrangement, Ascent is currently only minded to proceed with the Indicative Proposal on the pre-condition that a recommendation from the Amur Board is ultimately forthcoming.
