New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$3.9m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (AU$3.3m revenue, or US$2.3m). Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$23.8m market cap, or US$16.9m).

Trailing 12-month net loss: AU$2.9m Forecast net loss in 2 years: AU$1.5m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$7.1m free cash flow).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.3% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$716k revenue, or US$475k). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.3% increase in shares outstanding).

Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited Announces Serowe CSG Project Resource Upgrade to 315.7 BCF 2C Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited announced that the company has received third party certified 2C resources of 315.7 Bcf for the Serowe CSG project in Botswana. The certification was carried out by Denver based Sproule and Associates. The planned programme to end of 2022 includes a Serowe-3 flow test, a multi-well CSG pilot and a multi-well appraisal drilling programme. The Serowe-3 flow test and pilot are designed to demonstrate commercial gas to allow for upgrades of the 2C resources to substantial saleable reserves. The operator has advised that it has now designed and is sourcing equipment to complete Serowe 3 as producer within the next few months. Once set up, the plan is to carry out an extended controlled draw down test. The results of this test will be used to design, drill and complete a long-term test programme on a multi-well pilot during the second half of 2022. Achieving commercial gas flows can yield progressive and reasonably predictable conversion of 2C resources and contingent resources to reserves. With the interpreted natural permeability and high gas contents in the thicker coals encountered in Serowe-3, the risk and cost of the commercial development in the part of Serowe CSG field using inexpensive vertical well completions methods is considered low with success providing a pathway to proving a multi Trillion Cubic Feet coal seam gas field in central southern Africa Pure Hydrogen is free carried on the first $6 million expenditure in the Serowe Gas Project.

Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited Announces Serowe Gas Project Appraisal Drilling Program Update Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited (`Pure Hydrogen') to report that BotsGas, its JV partner on the Botswana Coalbed Methane (CBM) Serowe Gas Project, have advised that Serowe 4 will be spudded in mid-September with a short term flow testing of Serowe 3 to occur prior the drilling of Serowe 4. Serowe 3 encountered 41 metres of gassy coals. This total coal thickness is more than double the pre drilling estimates. While drilling, free gas was breaking out of drilling fluids on surface. The processing of a new logging method showed adsorbed gas, free gas and indications of permeability in several of the target coal seams. If the method is successful, it can reduce the number of expensive core holes and analysis normally required to certify reserves, thereby allowing the fast-tracking of reserves certification. With the interpreted natural permeability and high gas contents in the thicker coals encountered in Serowe-3, the risk and cost of the commercial development using inexpensive vertical well completions methods and proving a multi TCF coal seam gas field in central southern Africa can be substantially reduced. Pure Hydrogen is free carried on the first $6 million expenditure in the Serowe Gas Project. Reported Earnings • Jun 13

Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited Announces Venus-1 Pilot Well Records Early Gas Breakout Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited reported that its Venus-1, located on Project Venus in central Queensland has recorded initial gas breakout after only 50 barrels of water production. The early gas breakout confirms the interpreted high gas saturations of the target Walloon coals. The breakout gas rate, estimated at 84,000 cfd, is expected to continue to increase as the controlled pressure draw down expands radially into the multiple high gas saturated coal reservoirs from the low cost Venus-1 vertical production well. The results of the flow test to date and current gas pressure build-up suggests a successful, more robust enhancement at Venus-1 could substantially decrease the time to achieve commercial gas flows. A second stage, more robust, enhancement is currently under consideration for implementation at the Venus Pilot well in the coming weeks. Proving commercial gas flows at Venus-1 could convert the recently certified 130 PJ of 2C gas resource to 2P gas reserves. Certifying 130 PJ's of gas reserves is sufficient to underpin a sizeable gas sales contract to justify development of the Venus CSG field and connection to the nearby gas pipeline infrastructure. In addition, Pure Hydrogen has selected the Venus CSG field (Project Saturn) as a potential location for a demonstration CSG to hydrogen production facility and hydrogen hub. Annuncio • Jun 01
