Financial Performance
Net Operating cashflow for the quarter was €1,035k (net to PVE)
Quarterly earnings were driven by ongoing cash flow generation from Podere Maiar-1 with consistent
production averaging ~80,000 scm per day during the period. Gas prices followed the seasonal trend with
average weighted gas sales price for the quarter at €0.37/scm.
Expenditure on exploration and development for the quarter was €22k (net to PVE).
Cash at 30 September 2025 was €8.48 million (~A$15 million).
Po Valley Chairman and CEO, Kevin Bailey AM said:
“The Company has continued to make progress on the permitting front, with EIA and development
program revisions underway for the proposed 4 new wells and the upcoming 3D geophysical survey in the
December quarter.
“With our continued strong operating cash flow and a robust balance sheet, we are well placed to fund
our planned growth pipeline.”
Operational Overview
Selva Malvezzi
Selva is an onshore natural gas field located in the eastern part of the Po Plain, in the Bologna province of
the Emilia Romagna Region. Awarded in July 2022, the Selva Malvezzi Production Concession covers
80.68km2
carved out from the former Podere Gallina Exploration Permit.
It includes the Podere Maiar Gas field (in production) and the gas prospects Selva Malvezzi (East Selva),
Casale Guida (Selva North), Ronchi (Selva South) and Bagnarola (Riccardina).
Po Valley Operations (100% subsidiary of the Company, “PVO”) is the operator under a Joint Operating
Agreement (“JOA”) and holds a 63% interest in the Selva Malvezzi Production Concession with Prospex
Energy Plc (“Prospex Group”) holding 37% (17% Prospex Energy, 20% UOG Italia).
1. PM-1 gas production and well management
Total production (100%) in Q3 2025 was 7,249,134 scm, generating revenue of €2,681,549 (100%) for the
quarter. Total gas production (100%) since initial flow now stands at 58,633,799 scm from the C2 level,
representing ~84% of the total (100%) P1 reserves of C2 Level certified in the July 2022 CPR (PVE share of
the gross amounts quoted above is 63% of total).
Daily production was consistent at ~80,000scm/day, with the exception of the final days in September
with a routine alumina replacement undertaken. The well re-opened on 2nd
October with production
resuming at ~80,000 scm/day.
The quarter has seen the conclusion of the Gas Sales Agreement with BP Gas Marketing, with final
production supplied at the end of September. From 1 October 2025, gas is supplied under the new Gas
Sales Agreement with Hera Trading, a group entity headed by Hera S.p.A. (refer ASX announcement 21
August 2025).
Royalties for the quarter of €155k (€546k year to date) on the production gas sales are accrued and would
be due for payment in Q2 of 2026.

2. Casale Guida 1d, Ronchi 1d, Bagnarola 1d, Selva Malvezzi 1d wells
The key area of focus for the Company with the next stages of development is at Casale Guida 1d (Selva
North discovery), Ronchi 1d (South Selva discovery), Selva Malvezzi 1d (East Selva prospect) and Bagnarola
1d (Riccardina prospect), all of which lie within the Selva Malvezzi Production Concession.
The drilling programs for the four new drilling projects were submitted to the UNMIG department of the
Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) for drilling authorisation in September 2024
with an Environmental Impact Study (EIA) covering the drilling, development and production phases of
the four wells filed in December 2024 reported last quarter. The EIA technical commission of the Ministry
(MASE) requested further studies with observations and recommendations to be addressed.
The Company has progressed a new environmental study incorporating recommendations and
amendments from the EIA technical commission which include, amongst others, addressing the location
of wells to mitigate any flooding concerns for the Selva Malvezzi-1 well site location and addressing visual
and noise impact concerns of the Casale Guida and Ronchi well sites.
Field work, including geophysical acquisition, on the approved 3D geophysical survey over the Selva
Malvezzi Production concession, is on track to commence in Q4/2025. The permitting process and
execution of landowner access agreements were near completion at the end of this quarter; a lengthy
process with over 1,800 landowners across the Production Concession area.
Expenditure for the quarter in relation to the above progression of work programs on the Selva prospects
was €22k (net to PVE), with expenditure expected to increase over the next two quarters as the Company
implements the 3D geophysical survey and completes the EIA study and drilling programs of the new
wells.
Teodorico
The Company progressed works in preparation of a revised EIA addressing the additional requirements,
particularly in relation to the two environment protection areas to be addressed following the Regional
4
Administrative Court (TAR) ruling in 2024. This EIA revision seeks to incorporate the recommendations of
the Directorate of the Ministry of Environment, specifically addressing the protected areas that were not
included in the original submission because they were established after that time. The Company plans to
finalise and submit the revised EIA at the earliest opportunity.
Other Assets
The Company is reviewing optimal exploration and development paths for the other onshore exploration
assets (Cadelbosco di Sopra, Grattasasso and Torre del Moro), including the possibility of third-party
investors / partners interested in participating in their exploration and development. Cadelbosco di Sopra
and Grattasasso are shallow gas opportunities which fit neatly within the Company’s proven exploration
and development capabilities, whilst Torre del Moro is a large deep gas/condensate prospect. In addition,
these areas include oil contingent resources at Cadelbosco and Grattasasso as well as oil prospective
resources at Torre del Moro.
Financial performance
Cash flow
Net operating cashflows for the quarter were €1,035k. Net operating cashflows included receipts from
gas sales of €1,763k, production operating costs of €146k (net production operating cash of €1,617k) and
regional taxes assessed of $209k. Receipts from gas sales have a one-month lag due to normal trading
terms with BP Gas Marketing. Revenue receipts and production costs are net of any Joint Venture Partner
contribution and/or distributions of 37%.
Royalties are paid annually in arrears for the prior year of production, with the next payment due in
Q2/2026. Royalties paid in the year to date of €616k (63%) relate to 2024 production year revenues.
The Group’s cash balance as at 30 September 2025 was €8,487k (~A$15m).
Regarding Section 6.1 of the Appendix 5B amounts paid to related parties and their associates totalled
€125k, consisting of executive and non- executive director remuneration and consulting fees.

Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the
application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an
associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to
determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included
in the original market announcements referred to in this announcement and, in the case of estimates for petroleum
reserves, contingent resources and prospective resources, all material assumptions and technical parameters
underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially
changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented
have not materially changed from the original market announcement.
