Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest

Significant events
- “On 24 June 2024, the Company announced that the Mako JV partners had entered into a binding domestic Gas Sales Agreement ("GSA") for the sale and purchase of the domestic portion of Mako gas with PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk ("PGN").”
- “Following drilling the JV partners in the Wilson River-1 decided to conduct a Drill Stem Test ("DST") over the potential oil zone identified in the Murta Formation from analysis of logs and hydrocarbon shows from the well. However, the final well testing report confirmed the recovery of formation water in the potential oil zone and, as a result, the well was plugged and abandoned.”
- “In August 2025 the Company regrettably advised the market that Managing Director/CEO Tom Kelly had passed away. The Board has appointed existing Technical Director Gaz Bisht as interim CEO and will conduct a search process for a permanent CEO in due course.”
