Institutional Backing and Strategic Financial Advisory

The funds were raised through a strategic institutional placement, with Argonaut, a leading financial advisory firm, acting as the Lead Manager. Alongside its role in the placement, Argonaut has been appointed as the strategic financial advisor to drive the development of Emperor Energy’s Judith Gas Field Project in the EP Vic/P47 permit area, located offshore in the Gippsland Basin.

Capital Deployment and Next Steps

Proceeds from the capital raise will be primarily allocated to advancing the Judith Gas Field Project, which boasts significant gas resources, and for general working capital. The project holds 2C Contingent Resources of 198 BCF and a Prospective Resource of 2.2 TCF, positioning it as a key future supplier for the South-Eastern Australian market. The strategic advisory appointment aims to bring together an investment consortium to develop the Judith-2 Well, marking a major step forward in the project’s progression.

This placement represents a strong vote of confidence in Emperor Energy’s assets and the future potential of its gas field development strategy.
