Mcf Energy Ltd. Reports Initial Results from the Resumption of Testing of the Reifling Formation At the Welchau-1 Well in Austria MCF Energy Ltd. reported initial results from the resumption of testing of the Reifle Formation at the Welchau-1 well in Austria. MCF holds a 25% economic interest in the Welchau project, with ADX Energy (ADX) as the operator with the remaining 75% interest. The 128-meter thick Reifle Formation is the shallowest of four carbonate reservoirs intersected at Welchau-1. Injection test performed and a small acidization treatment (6m3 across 45m of perforations) achieved inflow from the previously unresponsive reservoir. MCF will review ADX's plans once proposed. The nature of the oil and gas sampled from this test supports the operator's revised structural interpretation, indicating that a light oil column may exist within the crest of the Welchau anticline approximately 500 metres updip from Welchau-1. The lack of biodegradation of the oil sampled within the Reifle and Steinalm Formations, as well as the observed over pressured system, further supports the interpretation of an updip oil accumulation. Although the Welchau play is relatively complex, the potential reward is substantial for an onshore location, given its relatively shallow drill depths near to existing infrastructure. Ongoing work will provide an improved understanding of the shallow light oil accumulation and the deeper gas potential within the large Welchau anticline. Compositional analysis of oil and gas samples is currently being undertaken. The well has been suspended to enable the monitoring of pressure build up and fluid inflow. Announcement • Feb 17
MCF Energy Ltd. Provides Update of Welchau-1 Testing MCF Energy Ltd. reported initial results from the resumption of testing of the Reifling Formation at the Welchau-1 well in Austria. MCF holds a 25% economic interest in the Welchau project, with ADX Energy (ADX) as the operator with the remaining 75% interest. The 128-meter thick Reifling Formation is the shallowest of four carbonate reservoirs intersected at Welchau-1. The well was stimulated by pumping six cubic meters of acid followed by a completion brine volume into the well ensuring that all the acid was injected into the reservoir and allowed to soak before the well was flowed back. To initiate flow in the well it was necessary to unload the hydrostatic column of brine by swabbing the well. Swabbing resulted in brine, methane gas and CO2 being flowed to surface.

MCF Energy Ltd. Announces an Update for the Testing of the Welchau-1 Well in Austria MCF Energy Ltd. announced an update for the testing of the Welchau-1 well in Austria. MCF holds a 25% interest in the Welchau project, with ADX Energy (ADX) as the operator with the remaining 75% interest. The Reifling Formation testing was interrupted after perforation in January 2025 due to legal objections by environmental non-governmental organizations in relation to Environmental Clearances provided to ADX for the drilling and testing of Welchau. In September 2025 the Upper Austrian State Administrative Court ruled that ADX may resume drilling and testing activities at the Welchau-1. The Reifling Formation is the shallowest of four carbonate reservoirs intersected at Welchau-1. An acid stimulation will be performed to test the shallowest potential reservoir encountered in the Welchau-1 well. The testing program is intended to determine if moveable hydrocarbons are present and the flow characteristics of the Reifling Formation which is prognosed to be at or near a light oil accumulation mapped updip of Welchau-1.

MCF Energy Ltd. Announces an Operational Update for the Kinsau-1A Well in Lech, Germany MCF Energy Ltd. announced an operational update for the Kinsau-1A well in Lech, Germany. The RED Drilling Rig 202 has completed drilling out the abandonment mud and cement plugs in the 13 3/8-inch casing from the original Kinsau-1 well drilled by Mobil in 1983. The inspection of the casing and bonding cement was done with both mechanical and remote sensing tools and found to be in good condition. The seal capacity was tested by pressure up to 61 bars (885 psi) which confirmed the ability of the pipe to hold pressure and isolate the shallow zones behind pipe. This casing protects the shallow ground water resources in this area. An offset water well has been drilled on the drill site and will be monitored to confirm there is no impact too these important water resources. After testing of the casing and cement, a directional drilling assembly was used to enter the exposed section of rock below the casing and drill out of the old well bore. After several days the drilling, the bit broke out of the old hole and started making new hole. The target of this well is the Jurassic Purbeck carbonate interval that tested gas at high rates in Mobil's original Kinsau- 1 well in 1983. Announcement • Aug 13
MCF Energy Ltd. Announces the Start of Drilling Operations on the Kinsau-1A Well in Germany MCF Energy Ltd. announced an operational update for the Kinsau-1A well in Lech, Germany. The RED Drilling Rig 202 has completed rigging up at the Kinsau-1 A drill site and testing the safety equipment. Drilling operations commenced on August 8th with the entry into the original 13 3/8-inch steel surface casing installed when Mobil drilled the Kinsau-1 discovery well in 1983. Despite testing at over 24 million cubic feet (MMCF) of gas and condensate per day, natural gas prices in 1983 did not warrant development, so Mobil shut in the Kinsau-1 well later abandoned it. An offset water monitoring well has been drilled and will be monitored to confirm there is no impact to these resources. At this point the well will drill ahead with a diamond drill bit to the target, the Jurassic Purbeck carbonate interval that tested gas and condensate at high rates in Mobil's original Kinsau-1 well. The deeper Malm carbonate interval was also found to be hydrocarbon bearing in the Kinsau wells drilled by Mobil; it is anticipated that this interval will be penetrated and evaluated but not tested in the Kinsau- 1A well. MCF holds a 100% interest in the exploration licence in this adjacent licence area. The Kinsau-1A drilling project is a re-entry and redrill of the Kinsau-1 discover well, originally drilled in 1983 by Mobil, which produced impressive test results of over 24 MMCF of gas and condensate Perforated interval. The well was completed by stimulating it with acid and tested over a 22.5-metre perforated interval. The entire well test took 3.5 months to complete. A variable rate test was conducted on July 28 to 29, 1983 with three flowing rates reported: 7,712 thousand cubic feet per day (MCFD) at 2,973 psi, 14,832 MCFD at 2,785 psi, and 24,706 MCFD at 1871 psi.

The Reudnitz gas field testing and development operations continue with the Phase 1 testing completed and the Phase 2 plans submitted to the German mining authority, Laufzeit der Erlaubnis zur Aufsuchung (LNGR). In Phase 1 the Reudnitz RZ2 horizontal well was reworked and tested at a stable flow rate of above 1,000 m³/hr at 5 bar. Phase 2 will be additional stimulation and testing to improve production rates. Genexco applied for an extension of the Reudnitz Exploration Licence to allow for a fuller Phase 2 testing operations following the success of the Phase 1 test. MCF announced the approval of a nine-month extension of the Reudnitz Exploration Licence by the LNGR with the newexpiration date of September 30, 2025. The Company previously announced the farmout option negotiated with Lime Petroleum Holdings AS ("Lime") for Reudnitz. Lime has paid EUR 500,000 to Genexco to fund the workover, flow testing and evaluation of RZ2 horizontal well in the Reudnitz Exploration Licence, sufficient to cover the costs of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the program. Currently Lime is reviewing the data from Phase 1 and will make the decision to exercise the option following completion of Phase 2. If Lime exercises its option to acquire up to an 80% working interest in Reudnitz, Lime will carry all costs and expenses related to the pilot development of the reservoir limited to an amount of EUR 5.5 million. If it exercises its option, Lime also has the right to assume operatorship of the Reudnitz Production Licence. The completion of Phase 2 testing will be accompanied by application by Genexco for a Production Licence covering the Exploration Licence area. Kinsau-1A Wellsite Preparation, Lech, Germany. Construction of the well site for the Kinsau 1A re-entry well was commenced in October and continues to be on schedule with a completion date at the end of December 2024. The original Kinsau-1 well stub has been found and a new well head installed. The concrete pad has been finished and final construction continues. Installation of the remaining asphalt pad should begin in mid-December weather permitting. Mobil drilled the original Kinsau-1 well in 1983 and made a gas and condensate discovery which was not economic at that time and the well was suspended and later abandoned. This well had a final stable flow rate of almost 25 MMcf per day of gas and condensate. The new well will be a re-entry of this well with a target within 100 metres of the productive zone.

MCF Energy Ltd. Announces Austria Well Testing Update MCF Energy Ltd. provided an update on production testing at the Welchau-1 well in the ADX-AT-II licence in Upper Austria. Following testing of the Steinalm formation, the Steinalm testing perforations have been isolated with a packer and a new test completion was run in the well to perforate and test the upper section of the 128-metre thick Reifling formation. On November 28, 2024 three intervals were perforated in the upper Reifling including (1) 1,324 metres to 1,340 metres measured depth (MD) (16 metres), (2) 1,346 metres to 1,351 metres (5 metres) and (3) 1,358 metres to 1,382 metres (24 metres) MD. Limited inflow was determined based on down hole fluid levels. The well was shut in over the weekend to allow time for the well to flow reservoir fluids into the tubing string. The fluid level in the well was observed on December 3, 2024 indicating limited inflow (less than 1 cubic metre or approximately 6 barrels). Sampling of the well indicated only completion brine (not reservoir fluid) and fine solid particles of unknown origin ("Solid Contaminants") were present in the well. The Solid Contaminants recovered had a petroliferous odour. The well has been left shut in to determine if it can flow naturally, analyse the composition of well fluids recovered to date and potentially flow sufficient formation fluids ("Minimum Flow Volume") to enter the production tubing - by filling the annular space from the perforations to the bottom of the tubing string ("Further Well Flow Information"). The forward program for the Welchau-1 well will be determined once Further Well Flow Information is collected and assessed including whether to proceed with acidization of the reservoir which is common practice for overcoming well bore damage and enhancing productivity in carbonate reservoirs.

MCF Energy Ltd. Provides an Update on Production Testing At Austria and Germany MCF Energy Ltd. provided an update on production testing at the Welchau-1 well in the ADX-AT-II licence in Upper Austria, and wellsite preparation for the Kinsau-1A well at Lech, Germany. MCF Energy and its Welchau Investment Area partner and licence operator ADX Energy Ltd. have completed the first flow test of the Steinalm formation in the Welchau-1 discovery well, located in the ADX- AT-II licence in Upper Austria. MCF holds an 25% economic interest in the Welchau Investment Area which contains the Welchau-1 discovery and other emerging prospects in the Northern Calcareous Alps. On the November 20, 2024 MCF announced the initial results of the first test of the Steinalm formed where gas was observed at surface followed by an unassisted stable rate of liquid flow including drilling mud, likely contaminated formation water and some oil traces. The observed liquid rate was between 240 to 290 barrels per day from unstimulated perforated intervals. The dominant flow is interpreted to be from a fracture system accessing an oil/water contact lower in the structure. Based on the PLT results the first Steinalm test is not considered diagnostic of the presence or absence of hydrocarbons. A retest of the Upper Steinalm perforations can be conducted at a future time after isolating the Lower perforations. The Steinalm test completion has been retrieved and the Steinalm Upper and Lower perforations have been isolated with a packer below the Reifling test interval. The plan is to move up the hole, higher into the interpreted hydrocarbon column and undertake a test at the upper most part of the 128-metre thick Reifling formation. A new test completion will be run in the well and the Reifling will be perforated across three intervals. The three intervals to be tested contemporaneously will include a 16-metre interval from 1324 metres to 1340 metres MD, a 5-metre interval from 1346 metres to 1351 metres and a 24-metre interval from 1358 metres to 1382 metres MD. The commencement of testing of the Reifling formation is expected to occur by the end of next week. The future testing program after the above-mentioned Reifling test will be determined based on further analysis of Steinalm and Reporate test results.

MCF Energy Ltd. Provides Update on Welchau-1 Production Testing MCF Energy Ltd. advised that preparations for flow testing the Welchau-1 well, located in the ADX-AT-II licence in Upper Austria, are progressing as planned. Since mobilization of the RED Drilling & Services W-102 workover rig (Workover Rig), together with ancillary equipment on the 4th and 5th of November 2024, the Workover Rig has been set up on the Welchau-1 well and surface testing equipment as well as materials have been mobilized to the well site. The planned program is to test the 450 metres of hydrocarbon shows starting with the two major reservoirs, the deeper Steinalm and then the shallower Reifling formation. A well completion assembly has been run in the well (tubing, packer and perforating system) and current operations include ongoing well completion work in preparation for flow testing as well. Flow testing facilities are being installed and rigged up, which includes a test separator, the necessary pipework and production storage tanks. Flow testing of the Steinalm formation will commence in approximately one week after well perforation as well as flow testing facilities rig up, pressure testing of facilities and function testing. Testing Program: The Environmental Clearance is for continuous (24-hour) flow testing operations up to March 31, 2025. This allows provides the Company with ample time to carry out an extensive testing program. This detailed flow testing is key and typical method industry wide for determining reservoir porosities and permeabilities carbonates reservoirs which are often highly dependent on fractures. A testing program has been developed focussing on the following objectives: Determine reservoir fluid type present in key reservoirs; Determine the flow capacity in key reservoirs; and Determine the reserves potential of the reservoirs. The planned program includes the testing of the two major reservoirs of a total of four, starting with the deeper Steinalm formation and then the shallower Reifling Formation. For each test, a number of flow periods and shut in periods are planned to determine the pressure response with down hole gauges. Well performance will be monitored to determine the potential reservoir damage from drilling and cementing of the well. In each test the well may be stimulated, if necessary, to enhance well performance. Data collection during testing will include flow measurement, surface and down hole pressure measurement as well as both surface and down hole sampling. The expected testing program duration for the Steinalm Formation alone is between 6 to 10 weeks. If good flow performance is achieved, the Steinalm test may be extended to obtain longer term flow data. The work over rig used for the Welchau-1 test program was previously utilised at ADX' Vienna Basin Fields and then for the completion of the successful oil Anshof-2A oil appraisal well. Together with other synergies for equipment and personnel, continued access to the work over rig gives the Company the operational flexibility to vary the program without a significant increase in costs. Background: The Welchau-1 well encountered hydrocarbon shows over a 450-metre interval intersecting three primary carbonate reservoirs that are considered promising for testing and ongoing appraisal. The well was suspended for future evaluation on March 28, 2024 after running and cementing 7-inch casing. Operations were suspended to comply with the conditions of environmental permits limiting drilling and testing operations to the Austrian winter months from October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. Data recovered from the well during the drilling and evaluation phase included hydrocarbon shows, wellbore inflows, drilling mud losses, formation cuttings, petrophysical borehole log data, formation fluid sampling and formation coring. This data has been used to assess the potential of the Welchau discovery and design the planned test program. On September 26, 2024, the Company announced that the hydrocarbons discovered at Welchau are likely to be a high gravity (43.6° API) light oil with associated gas rather than a liquids-rich gas discovery as it was predicted prior to drilling. Other Exploration Potential Near Welchau-1: MCF Energy notes that there is exploration potential at the nearby and further north Rossberg lead, as well as the deeper potential at Welchau in reservoirs below the 7" casing at the well's total depth (TD) (1733 metres) that have yet to be drilled. Economic Participation in the Welchau Investment Area: MCF has executed an Energy Investment Agreement with ADX to fund 50% of Welchau-1 well costs up to a well cost cap of EUR 5.1 million to earn a 25% economic interest in the Welchau Investment Area, which is part of ADX Energy Ltds ADX-AT-II licence in Upper Austria.

The total test pressure dropped from 4,110 psi to 4,090 psi (283.4 to 282 bar). The test resulted in a recovery of 45.9 MMCF of gas and 1,510 barrels of condensate. These test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. MCF Energy plans to leverage existing infrastructure to minimize costs and enhance efficiency of the Kinsau 1A well, using nearly 1,000 metres of existing steel and cemented casing from the original well to safeguard groundwater reservoirs. The surface location of the first test well has been selected and surface lease negotiated. The environmental report has been submitted and well planning has started. The company anticipated having a permit to drill by second quarter of 2025. Reudnitz Gas Field. The well has been re-entered and little fluid was found confirming fluid-free gas production. Installation of a dehydration unit is scheduled in the next few weeks after which inspection production can begin. Increased production is planned by installing a compression unit onsite in the coming months. Application for a long-term testing permit for the LM-3 well has been submitted for approval. Later installations will include an natural gas compression unit so gas can be transported to the NT-2 site where gas will be sold into the pipeline. Inspection of the NT-2 well is planned in the upcoming quarter with plans to return that well to production. This will complete the rework program and the return of these three wells to production.

MCF Energy Ltd. Provides Update on Welchau Exploration Well Testing Program MCF Energy Ltd. announced the planned well testing program for the Welchau-1 discovery in the ADX-AT-II exploration licence in Upper Austria. MCF is a non-operator and holds a 25% economic interest in the Welchau Exploration Area and ADX Energy Ltd.(‘ADX’) is the operator. In preparation for testing the operator, ADX has undertaken the necessary planning, permitting, procurement and contracting to execute an extended testing program on Welchau-1. The target date to commence operations is 15 October 2024. The Welchau-1 well test program is designed to confirm the hydrocarbon characteristics, determine well productivity, the potential connected volumes and ultimately an estimate of recoverable resource volumes from future potential development wells. Conclusions from Work to Date Based on the data analysis to date, it is most likely that Welchau is a high API hydrocarbon liquid (or light oil) and associated gas discovery rather than a liquids rich gas discovery as was predicted prior to drilling. Due to the uncertain nature of Welchau reservoir performance prior to testing MCF does not believe it is appropriate to provide a definitive resource range until the first tests are completed. Economic Significance of Oil versus Gas The predicted light oil (43.6° API) at Welchau-1 could be very valuable in commercial quantities given shallow drill depth and onshore setting which is proximal to infrastructure. The development cycle for oil is much shorter than gas. Any commercial discovery can be developed incrementally as it is appraised thereby minimising funding requirements as well as enhancing economics and payback time frames. Data Analysis MCF and the operator have analysed data recovered from the Welchau-1 well to determine the likely reservoir hydrocarbons present and characterise the reservoir in terms of storage capacity and flow capacity for each of the potential reservoirs intersected in the well. At this stage, the post-drill structure at Welchau remains largely unchanged. The Welchau-1 well is confirmed to be at or near the crest of an east-west trending, asymmetric anticline, in line with the pre-drill structural model. The slight change in the strike of the fold axis makes the structure less cylindrical than predicted (in the Eastern part of the Welchau anticiline). Welchau-1 intersected four reservoirs including the main Steinalm formation. The reservoir intersection at Welchau-1 is significantly greater than in the Molln-1. Given that oil was recovered at Welchau-1 up dip of Molln-1 which tested gas and condensate, it is now interpreted that Molln-1 is in a separate accumulation to Welchau-1. cross section view below shows more details on the thrusting and faulting resulting in a potential boundary between Molln-1 and Welchau-1 wells. The Steinalm fluid sample recovered from a down hole sampling tool (Modular Dynamics Tester, MDT) was analysed at the OMV Petroleum Analysis Laboratories inVienna. The analysis revealed a light oil was recovered with associated gas. The oil having an API gravity of 43.60 with a gas-to-oil ratio of 1,080 Scf/Bbl. The analysis of the downhole pressure data has highlighted the limitations in obtaining representative downhole pressures in permeable fractured carbonate reservoirs. This data was further compromised with mud loss invasion into the fracture system. The conclusions that can be made with certainty are the Steinalm reservoir is over-pressured and a light oil is present. MCF and the operator were able to determine a range in potential oil-water-contact for the Welchau structure which were utilised in the estimate of Welchau Prospective Resources. The confirmation of the reservoir fluid type, the productivity and connectivity can only be assessed with the planned well test. Testing Operations Overview Testing operations at Welchau-1 are expected to commence in mid-October following the anticipated receipt of an environmental clearance for testing operations and the mobilisation of a workover rig required to run a test string which includes tubing and down hole packer system into the cased and suspended well. The environmental clearance will allow for up to six months of continuous (24 hour) testing operations providing MCF and the operator with ample time to carry out an extensive testing program. A testing program has been developed focussing on the following objectives: Determine reservoir fluid type present in key reservoirs; Determine the flow capacity in key reservoirs; and Determine the reserves potential of the reservoirs It is planned to test the two major reservoirs, starting with the deeper Steinalm and then the shallower Reifling. The planned sequence of operations for testing for the Steinalm formation and expected testing program duration for the Steinalm formation is between 6 to 10 weeks. MCF and the operator will ensure sufficient oil storage capacity is available on site in anticipation of oil flow. If good flow performance is achieved, the Steinalm test may be extended to obtain longer term flow data noting that under Austrian legislation it is permitted to produce up to 30,000 barrels from a long-term testing operation. The use of a workover rig for the Welchau-1 test program along with other operator synergies provides operational flexibility to vary the program without significantly increasing costs. MCF and the operator will provide more detail on well testing operations nearer to the test commencement date, followed by regular updates throughout the testing program. Follow-up Exploration Potential The Welchau-1 well has confirmed a highly prospective hydrocarbon play. The well has confirmed the existence of hydrocarbon liquids and associated gas across multiple extensive carbonate reservoir intervals, trapped by a large hydrocarbon charged seal in a structural setting capable of containing large volumes of hydrocarbons. MCF and the operator have already identified several follow up target structures in the same gross trend as Welchau. Rossberg is located approximately 6 km north- west of Welchau-1. The Rossberg structure has been identified from surface imaging, dynamic structural balancing techniques as well as surface geology mapping. As was the case with Welchau some 2D seismic may help to detail the closure. Additional detailed field work is being undertaken to mature this prospect as a potential follow up exploration well. Based on current structural modelling there remains over 1,000 metres of exploration potential located below the current Welchau-1 well total depth. The opportunity to deepen the Welchau-1 well after testing the existing zones of interest is being assessed in conjunction with ongoing structural modelling of the Welchau-1 discovery.

MCF Energy Ltd Provides an Operational Update for Austria, Germany and Czech Republic MCF Energy Ltd. announced an operational update on currently active projects. Subject to receipt of one remaining governmental approval, all plans are in place for a return to the Welchau wellsite to complete testing of the Welchau-1 discovery well which finished drilling in March with operations suspended due to seasonal restrictions in the Welchau-1 drilling and testing permit. The service rig is expected to be at the wellsite in early to mid-October to begin a multi-zone test of formations identified to be prospective based on well logs and MDT tests conducted in March. The Company expects to provide a number of updates during Fourth Quarter in coordination with the Welchau operator, ADX Energy. The Company has a 25% economic interest in the Welchau area, and ADX Energy has the remaining interest. Site construction for the Kinsau-1A well began in early September with the building and completion of a perimeter fence surrounding the drill site. The building contractor should begin full construction of the drill site in the first week of October with the process taking six to ten weeks. Long lead items are purchased and will be delivered when the site is completed. Well casing from the original Mobil Kinsau #1 well drilled in the 1980s will be exposed and a new well head will be attached ahead of the move in of the drill rig. Drilling of the Kinsau-1A well is anticipated to begin in December. MCF's 100% owned subsidiary Genexco GmbH owns 20% of the shares in Genexco Gas, the licensee of the Lech project. Genexco is fully carried for the costs of the Kinsau-1A well up to Euro 5 million. Solutions are in place to address the licence conditions, with Genexco Gas committed to meeting or exceeding all environmental requirements outlined in the permit from the Mining Authority. MCF's 100% owned subsidiary Genexco GmbH is the licensee of the Lech East project with a 100% working interest in the almost 100 square km Lech East Concession which holds possible analogues to the Kinsau gas discovery. The first well location has been selected and surface rental agreements have been signed with the surface owner. Well planning has begun with geologic targets identified to encounter the same gas productive reservoirs found in the Kinsau #1 well in the nearby Lech concession. Environmental studies already have been commissioned for a tentative wellsite. Geologic assessments of the 3D-seismic confirm a potential which can boost reserves for a joint development of Lech and Lech East. Gas export infrastructure will be tailored jointly with a regional gas utility located in Augsburg, Bavaria to service local industry and residential customers which suffer from high energy import cost.
The Company previously announced the farmout option negotiated with Lime Petroleum Holdings AS ("Lime") for Reudnitz where MCF subsidiary Genexco holds a 100% interest in the Reudnitz licence area. Funds received from Lime will fund the workover, flow testing and evaluation of RZ2 well in the Reudnitz exploration concession which includes installing a velocity string, acid job and well test. Equipment is currently being mobilized for the test scheduled to begin on September 16, 2024. The testing process is estimated to take several months to complete. Subsequent to the workover, Genexco intends to obtain a production licence for the agreed 'proven area' within Reudnitz. Three previous gas wells have been drilled outlining the gas reservoir. Lime has an option to assume a working interest ownership share in Reudnitz and the production licence of up to 80%. If Lime exercises its option, Lime will carry all costs and expenses related to the pilot development of the reservoir limited to an amount of Euro 5.5 million. If it exercises its option, Lime also has the right to assume operatorship of the Reudnitz production licence. Czech Republic: NP-823 well, Slickline operation was completed on September 6, 2024, on MCF's NP-823 well in the Czech Republic. Production equipment is currently being moved to the location. It is anticipated that all necessary production equipment will be on site within 30 days, after which inspection of the site will occur prior to commencing commercial production of gas. LM-3 well: Front-end engineering of production facilities for the Company's LM-3 well in the Czech Republic is expected to be finished by the end of September. Gas-to-power options are being evaluated to commercialise gas production from the well. Announcement • Aug 01

MCF Energy Ltd., Genexco GmbH and Genexco Gas GmbH Grant Permit for Drilling of the Kinsau 1A Well in Germany MCF Energy Ltd. announced the receipt of a final permit from the Southern Bavaria Mining Authority for exploratory drilling of the Kinsau 1A well, located in the Lech Concession. Drilling and completion are scheduled to start in September 2024. The Kinsau 1A drilling project is a re-entry and redrill of the Kinsau #1 discovery well, originally drilled in 1983 by Mobil, which produced impressive test results of over 24 million cubic feet (MMCF) of gas and condensate per day. Mobil drilled the Kinsau #1 well to a depth of 3940 metres, where it encountered basement rocks. Gas and condensate indications were found within the Jurassic Purbeck Formation at 3,179 metres. The well was completed by stimulating it with acid and tested over a 22.5-metre perforated interval. The entire well test took 3.5 months to complete. A variable rate test was conducted on July 28th to 29th, with three flowing rates reported: 7,712 thousand cubic feet per day (MCFD) at 2,973 psi, 14,832 MCFD at 2,785 psi, and 24,706 MCFD at 1,871 psi. The total test pressure dropped from 4,110 psi to 4,090 psi (283.4 to 282 bar). The test resulted in a recovery of 45.9 MMCF of gas and 1,510 barrels of condensate. These test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. MCF Energy plans to leverage existing infrastructure to minimize costs and enhance efficiency of the Kinsau 1A well, using nearly 1,000 metres of existing steel and cemented casing from the original well to safeguard groundwater reservoirs. The Kinsau 1A well will be drilled using the same RED Drilling rig that accomplished the successful drilling of the Welchau #1 well in Austria earlier this year. Well site construction is already underway with a groundwater monitoring well already drilled. The long-lead items for the re-entry have been purchased. Natural gas has been produced in Bavaria since 1954, and the expertise of the authorities and experts in the gas industry is correspondingly high. Through its German subsidiary Genexco GmbH, MCF Energy has a 20% interest in the Lech Concession (approximately 6 km2) and is carried by the operator Genexco Gas GmbH for the costs of the upcoming Kinsau-1A well up to EUR 5 million. Consequently, MCF does not anticipate requiring additional capital for the drilling and testing of this potential high impact well. Several additional well locations on the Lech Concession have been identified for potential development. MCF Energy holds a 100% interest in the Lech East Concession (approximately 100 km2), which is positioned to the north and east of the Lech Concession and the Kinsau discovery well and is fully surveyed with 3D seismic.

MCF Energy Ltd. Completes Well Drilling and Well Cased for Future Flow Testing MCF Energy Ltd. advised the Welchau-1 well drilling operations were concluded following release of the rig at 4.00 pm CET on the 28th of March 2024. The Welchau-1 well was drilled utilizing the RED E200 drill rig in the ADX-AT-II exploration licence in Upper Austria. Since the last report on the 25th of March 2024 the well has been successfully cased and temporarily shut in for future testing. The analysis of pressurised sample chambers run in the well contained small amounts of liquid hydrocarbons (gas condensate to very light oil) which is detailed in the Well Data Analysis below. As previously reported down hole sampling was limited due to tool sticking which impacted the recoverability of samples. The results of the well data analysis will be used to update the resource range for the Welchau discovery and design the testing program for the Welchau-1 well. Future testing of the well is expected to be undertaken with a cost-effective workover rig. The analysis work programme has already commenced from down hole pressurised fluid samples and the 7 metres of whole core recovered from the Steinalm formation of the Welchau-1 well". The core analysis work is expected to take sixteen weeks and the fluid sample work three weeks. Downhole fluid samples: The analysis of downhole pressurised fluid samples recovered from the Welchau-1 well is being carried out at a specialised laboratory in Vienna. As reported previously the Modular Formation Dynamic Tester (MDT) tool was stuck in the well bore during sampling which limited the recoverability of samples. Despite these difficulties two sample bottles were recovered containing small amounts of liquid hydrocarbons (gas condensate to very light oil) although most of the fluid was drilling mud that had been lost into the formation during drilling. The samples are not an ideal representation for PVT (pressure-volume-temperature) analysis given the amount of drilling mud contamination. However preliminary results indicate a similarity to the hydrocarbon system encountered and tested at in the down dip Molln-1 well drilled in 1989. The planned Welchau-1 production test in Fourth Quarter 2024 is expected to confirm the characteristics of the hydrocarbonsystem. Further analysis of the downhole fluid samples will continue, including viscosity, densities and if sample volumes permit a full PVT analysis.Core Analysis: Work has commenced on the analysis of the Welchau-1 7 metres of core at a specialized laboratory in Vienna. Preliminary assessment of the core using computerised tomography images (CT scan) confirms the reservoir is a carbonate with a low matrix porosity, vuggy porosity and an extensive vertical fracture network. This triple-porosity system is also evident from the open hole log data. The extent of vertical fractures within the core, which by their orientation cannot be seen in the borehole, is encouraging and can be expected to be very favourable for reservoir connectivity and production performance. It should also be noted that the indicative permeable events observed in the borehole (predominantly vugs and fractures), tabulated in the Company's previous announcement, is only a component of the net rock at the borehole and does not account for the low porosity matrix or the vertical fractures. A clean 100% carbonate rock has by its nature the capacity to store hydrocarbons however the key to estimating the net pay volumes (i.e. the connected porosity system) is inclusive of the combination of low permeable but producible matrix porosity, the higher permeable vugs and the fractures. It should be noted that the fractures provide the primary flow pathways through the rock to the well bore. Core analysis measurements including porosity and permeability of the matrix, the vuggy rock and fractures will be carried out during data analysis. The Welchau-1 well test data will be instrumental to the calibration of the 'triple-porosity' system for volumetric analysis and reservoir performance modelling. The planned Welchau-1 well test will seek to confirm the hydrocarbon characteristics, determine the well productivity, the potential connected volumes to the well and ultimately the recoverable resource size.

MCF Energy Ltd. Announces Progress Update on the Drilling of the Welchau-1 Gas Exploration Well in Austria MCF Energy Ltd. announced a progress update on the drilling of the Welchau-1 gas exploration well in Austria. The well successfully reached a depth of 1,155 metres on March 10, advancing approximately 4 days ahead of its scheduled timeline. Minor hydrocarbon shows and fracturing patterns suggest the presence of hydrocarbons in deeper formations, and are evidence of an active petroleum system at the Welchau-1 well location. It targets reservoirs analogous to those discovered by the nearby Molln-1 well, which confirmed gas presence in 1989. MCF Energy will fund the Welchau-1 well costs up to 50% of the cap of EUR 5.1 million to earn a 25% economic interest in the Welchau Investment Area. Drilling operations commenced with a 12 1/4 inch bore to a depth of 930 metres, followed by the deployment of wireline logging tools. Subsequently, a 9 5/8 inch casing was installed and cemented to ensure well integrity, particularly through a shale section which will also provide a seal for gas pressure from a deeper underlying reservoir. Currently, drilling proceeds in an 8 1/2 inch bore aiming for a projected total depth of at least 1,500 metres. Enhanced drilling speeds, surpassing initial projections due to the adoption of new drilling technologies, have contributed to the project's ahead-of-schedule status. These improvements are anticipated to lower overall well costs. The image log has identified the presence of fractures and confirms a closed, asymmetric anticline as predicted in the geologic model.

ADX has made a concerted effort to prioritise local involvement, particularly in areas with a strong history of safety, environmental care, and dependable project completion. Announcement • Aug 03
MCF Energy Ltd. Secures Significant Concession Adjacent to Historic German Gas Discovery MCF Energy Ltd. announced the successful acquisition of a substantial natural gas exploration concession spanning approximately 100 km(2) in Southwest Bavaria, Germany, granted by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy for an initial term of three years. Lech East is adjacent to another 10 km(2) concession. In a previously drilled well at Lech, a remarkable flow test rate of over 20 million cubic feet per day of gas was recorded. MCF Energy's subsidiary, Genexco GmbH, holds a 20% carried interest at Lech and plans to start drilling an offset development well in Fall 2023. The Company considers Lech (20% to MCF Energy) and Lech East (100% to MCF Energy) as key prospects for Germany's energy security. Highlights: Lech East, a 100 km(2) natural gas exploration concession in Bavaria, Germany, has been granted to wholly owned subsidiary of MCF Energy. Modern 3D seismic interpretation, aided by machine learning and AI, has yielded promising prospects, offsetting significant historical gas and oil discoveries. Over 20 million square feet per day of gas was tested at the Kinsau #1 well at Lech in 1983; MCF Energy is fully carried for a 20% stake up to EUR 5 million in a well at Lech to be drilled later this year. Lech and Lech East benefit from excellent accessibility and infrastructure. MCF Energy plans EUR 4.6 million exploration program at Lech East, including well drilling. In 19, M Mobil drilled the Kinsau # 1 well to a depth of 3940 metres, where it encountered basement rocks. Gas and condensate indications were found within the Jurassic Purbeck Formation at 3,179 metres. The well was completed by stimulating it with acid and tested over a 22.5-metre perforated interval. The entire well test took 3.5 months to complete. A variable rate test was conducted on July 28th to 29th, with three flowing rates reported: 7,712 thousand cubic feet per day (MCFD) at 2,973 psi, 14,832 MCFD at 2,785 psi, and 24,706 MCFD at 1871 psi. The total test pressure dropped from 4,110 psi to 4,090 psi (283.4 to 282 bar). The test resulted in a recovery of 45.9 million cubic feet (MMCF) of gas and 1,510 barrels of condensate. These test results are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. MCF Energy has obtained proprietary 3D Seismic coverage over Lech and Lech East. The Company's interpretation of this data, aided by machine learning and artificial intelligence analysis, has led to the identification and evaluation of several promising prospects with multiple potentially productive zones. Several prospects are offsetting or on trend with historical wells that yielded significant gas discoveries which would be highly commercial including an impressive flow test rate of over 20000 cubic feet per day of gas. Situated approximately 55 km southwest of Munich in a rural region, Lech and Lech East enjoy excellent surface accessibility and infrastructure, including convenient proximity to pipelines. As part of its commitment, MCF Energy will undertake a staged exploration work program at Lech East, culminating in the drilling of a well by 2026 or sooner.
