Forward Looking Statements
This Half Year Financial Report includes certain
forward-looking statements that have been
based on current expectations about future
acts, events and circumstances. These
forward-looking statements are, however,
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
that could cause those acts, events and
circumstances to differ materially from the
expectations described in such forward-looking
statements.
These factors include, among other things,
commercial and other risks associated with the
meeting of objectives and other investment
considerations, as well as other matters not
yet known to the Group or not currently
considered material by the Group.
MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
I am pleased to present this report which includes the financial results for the first half 2025 fiscal year.
During this period Bass (“Bass or the Group”) has continued to make positive progress towards
achieving its stated ambition to become a gas producer in the Australian East Coast Gas Market (ECGM).
The Group has progressed the development of the valuable Kiwi gas and condensate field specifically
working on the financing options which include taking advantage of market interest in farming into the
project.
In addition, during May, Bass announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the Vanessa
gas field. This is a significant acquisition that will accelerate both the Group’s entry into the East Coast
Gas Market and appraise the potential of the large deep coal gas resource in our wholly owned PEL 182.
Half Year Summary
Oil production in both the Cooper Basin and Indonesia continued to deliver sustaining cashflows with
net entitlement oil from production steady across the half year. Sales revenue declined 9% to $3.71
million HY25 due to the fall in the average realised oil price, from over US$82 per barrel to US$71 per
barrel in this half year.
Bass recorded an Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA1) of $571,000
for the HY25, a 55% increase year on year. This represents an EBITDA margin of 15% over sales revenue.
The Group’s responsible management of its balance sheet continues to provide a solid foundation for
funding priority development activities. During the period Bass completed a capital raising via a nonrenounceable rights issue from existing shareholders, securing $0.92 million in funds for investment in
its growth projects. This result, in addition to positive free cashflow from the Group’s operations, has
resulted in a closing cash position of $1.96 million.
Over the period, Bass continued to proactively drive safety performance on its assets, and I am pleased
to report that there have been no reportable incidents or injuries.
Key financial and production performance results for the half year are summarised below. Bass remains
committed to execute its strategy and continue its growth trajectory in H2 FY25.
I would like to thank shareholders for their continued support throughout the period, especially those
that supported the capital raise and look forward to sharing further updates.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (cont’d)
Liquidity / Cash Position:
At 30 June 2025, Bass cash reserves had increased to $1.96 million up from $0.99 million at 31
December 2024 after the Company raised $0.9 million from a non-renounceable entitlement issue to
eligible shareholders at A$0.032 a share.
Oil Optimisation:
One of the Group’s core activities remains the focus on production optimisation. In the Cooper Basin
production from the fields at the end of this half year has remained steady at ~100 bopd. In Indonesia
production rates continue to improve. In both Indonesia & Cooper Basin production rates relatively
stable.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (cont’d)
Gas Development and Appraisal:
Vanessa Gas Field (Bass acquiring 100%)
In late May 2025 Bass announced that it is to acquire a 100% interest in the Vanessa gas field (see
Figure 3) for a nil cash consideration from Beach Energy Ltd. The transaction will see Bass assume the
future rehabilitation liability with the vendor contributing significantly to the rehabilitation cost. The
acquisition includes a gas processing facility and a 5-kilometre pipeline connecting the field to the
Cooper Basin gas transmission network at Moolion North. The Group is progressing the relevant
regulatory approvals and has commenced detailed planning for the certification and recommissioning of
the Vanessa well, facilities and pipeline.
The Vanessa field is important to the Group as it provides the opportunity for:
Early first gas sales - The recertification and recommissioning of the Vanessa gas production
facility and pipeline would enable the Company’s first gas sales into the East Coast Gas Market
earlier than planned.
Reserve growth - by proving up significant untested conventional and tight gas potential in both
the Toolachee and Patchawarra formations that could be accessed from this well by fracture
stimulation.
Advancement of activities to commercialise the deep coals - The Vanessa well penetrated the
entire Permian sequence of sediments, including the deep coals, at a location ideally situated to
test the commercialisation potential of the large deep coal resource contained in PEL 182
without incurring the significant cost of drilling a dedicated well.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (cont’d)
PEL 182 Deep Coal Commercialisation Study – Phase 2 (Bass 100%)
In 2022, Bass identified the Moolion East deep coal prospect within PEL 182, with an assessed
prospective resource of 568 BCF of gas and 22.7 million barrels of condensate. This asset has the
potential to be transformational for the company, given its substantial size.
After completing the first phase of a geomechanical study led by globally technology leader SLB, Bass
and SLB have finalised the scope of phase 2 of the study which SLB will lead. In phase 1, the
geomechanical model built by SLB used the Vanessa 1 well as the ‘type well’ for the study (Figure 3).
The recently announced acquisition of the Vanessa gas field coupled with the recent capital raising will
enable Bass to commence the next phase of the study, which will focus on the design of a fracture
stimulation program and the design of a pilot production well for economic exploitation of this
potentially significant resource. For further details, refer to the ASX Announcements: “Deep Coal
Commercialisation Review Underway” released on 18 April 2024 and 16 September 2024.
Validating the potential significance of this deep coal gas resource, the Santos led Cooper Basin JV
(CBJV) has recently announced a program targeting this resource in 2025. Among other initiatives, the
CBJV is planning to drill two wells in this 12-month period to trial the use of high angle/horizontal well
technology along with multi-stage fracking to deliver a commercial production pilot. Any success from
this program will be directly applicable and analogous to Bass’ commercialisation efforts.
Kiwi Gas and Condensate Field Development (Bass 100%)
Kiwi 1, drilled in 2003, resulted in a Triassic age gas discovery. The initial discovery, although
encouraging, was never fully evaluated until it was acquired by Bass culminating in a successful flow test
in August 2024. On test the well recorded a maximum production rate limited by surface equipment
constraints, of 4.1 million cubic feet per day along with 988 barrels of condensate per day at a 1585 psi
flowing wellhead pressure.
The results from screening economics for the development of the Kiwi gas discovery, published in an
ASX announcement on 8 November 2024, demonstrate the significant value of this asset to Bass. The
best estimate contingent resource case (2C) yields a Net Present Value (NPV) calculated to be ~A$24.0
million and if commercial, has the potential to more than double Bass's reserve base.
Discussions for the transportation and processing options for gas and gas liquids to be produced from
the Kiwi field have commenced with the CBJV. The Company is also considering various funding
options, including farm down, for the Kiwi field development.
The Group announced on 10 February 2025, that it is undertaking a study to quantify the significant gas
potential identified in the Triassic zone in the northern Cooper Basin by the recent gas test at Kiwi and
previous exploration success in the area (Figure 4). The study will include the reprocessing of the
Dundinna 3D seismic survey to improve the imaging of the target hydrocarbon reservoirs.

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT (cont’d)
Figure 4: Kiwi Gas Condensate Asset
Indonesia – Tangai-Sukananti KSO (Bass 55% and Operator)
The Bunian field continues to outperform expectations. As a result, during FY 2024, the subsurface team
reprocessed the 3D seismic which covers the entire permit. This has led to an improved structural
interpretation of the Bunian field. The work is supportive of the existence of a westerly extension of the
field (Figure 5) and has highlighted the potential for an additional prospect to the north of the licence.
This work has given confidence to support drilling of the Bunian 6 development well. The well will be
located south-west of the prolific Bunian 3 well which has produced in excess of 1.2 million barrels of oil
to date and is still the strongest producer in the field. Bunian 6 will target undrained oil in the
southwest of the Bunian field. The well is expected to spud in the second half of calendar 2025.
