CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
maximise the asphaltene yield, and then use
different catalysts to enhance the quality of the
asphaltene for its viscosity and penetration.
While development studies for the Alpha Project
were significantly progressed during the year, these
studies have now been placed on hold to await the
outcomes of Test Program 5. On completion of Test
Program 5, the Board will then assess the best path
forward for the Alpha Project to maximise value for
the Company’s shareholders.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The past year has been a period of mixed fortune
for Greenvale Energy Limited (“Greenvale” or “the
Company”), impacted by slower-than-expected
progress across our existing asset portfolio while
also delivering exciting new business development
opportunities.
During the year, the Company worked diligently to
advance its Alpha Torbanite Project in central
Queensland by progressing studies for the project
development and completing a new Liquefaction
Test Program (‘Test Program 4’). Liquefaction Test
Program 4 comprised three separate assessments
undertaken by Monash University, Licella Holdings
Ltd and PROCOM/Technix.
These three assessment streams were designed to
determine the Alpha Project’s potential to produce
a premium-grade C170 bitumen product.
On completion of Test Program 4, analysis of bulk
samples from Alpha indicated that, while the shale
extract could be used for manufacturing standard
or modified types of bitumen, it did not meet the
stringent specifications required for the premium
C170 bitumen product.
Analysis by Technix, Greenvale’s bituminous
product advisor, indicates that additional work is
required to increase the viscosity and elasticity of
the final product to meet the premium-grade
standards.
Based on these outcomes, the Company has reengaged the University of Jordan to commence Test
Program 5. The University of Jordan is a world-class
institution
with
significant
expertise
in
geotechnical/chemical engineering, liquefaction
studies and bituminous products and previously
undertook the highly successful Test Program 3.
The aim of Test Program 5 is to take the blended
core samples from the Alpha Project, vary the
reaction conditions of temperature and pressure to
In parallel with the advancement of the Alpha
Project, and in keeping with the Board’s agenda to
diversify the Company’s asset portfolio, in October
2023 Greenvale entered into a Farm-in Agreement
with Mosman Oil & Gas (AIM: MSMN, “Mosman”)
to acquire a 75% interest in a potentially ultra-highgrade helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon
opportunity in the Amadeus Basin in Central
Australia known as EP145.
EP145 sits within a highly prospective area, with
successful helium wells located along the margins
of the Amadeus Basin at Mt Kitty-1 and Magee-1.
Existing gas pipeline infrastructure links the area to
Darwin and the Australian East Coast, providing an
opportunity for rapid development and
commercialisation. These features, together with
the strong demand outlook for helium, hydrogen
and hydrocarbons, meet the Board’s business
development metrics of targeting well-located
assets with highly sought-after commodities.
Frustratingly, Greenvale’s work programs at EP145
have been significantly delayed by slower-thanexpected regulatory approvals for both the asset
acquisition and the proposed work program,
caused in part by the recent elections in the
Northern Territory.
The Company has recently secured a six-month
permit extension to enable these regulatory
approvals to be finalised.
In addition, shortly after the end of the financial
year, the Company entered into an agreement to
acquire an 80% interest in the Douglas River
Uranium Project, located 200km south of Darwin in
the Pine Creek Mineral Field.
The Pine Creek region is one of the world’s largest
and richest uranium provinces, containing worldclass deposits including Ranger, Jabiluka,
Coronation Hill and El Sherana. Despite this, the
region remains only lightly explored – particularly in
3| GRV – Annual Report 2024
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
the southern Daly Basin area, where the geology
supports multiple ideal settings for sandstonehosted uranium deposits.
Douglas River represents a compelling addition to
Greenvale’s asset portfolio, providing shareholders
with exposure to a commodity that offers an
exceptional market outlook thanks to the growing
use of nuclear energy as an essential source of
baseload power for the global energy transition.
I am confident that these new additions to our asset
portfolio will bring considerable value to the
Company and will help drive significant value for
shareholders going forward.
On the corporate front, in May this year the
Company was pleased to appoint John W Barr as a
Non-Executive Director. John has strong experience
and contacts throughout the energy industry and
has made a significant contribution to the Board
since his appointment.
In addition, the Company sold its 20% interest in the
Georgina Basin IOCG Project in the Northern
Territory to Astute Metals (ASX: ASE). Consideration
for the sale was five million Astute Metals shares,
with the potential for a further five million shares
subject to Astute achieving further specified
milestones.
The asset sale streamlines Greenvale’s business and
ensures we can focus our resources most
effectively. Greenvale retains a 2% net smelter
royalty (NSR) over the Georgina Basin Project,
providing continued upside exposure.
In July 2024, the Company sold down its
shareholding in Astute Metals for $1.53 million.
This has boosted our cash position and reduces the
need for future shareholder dilution.
During the year, Greenvale issued 25.9 million fully
paid shares to Pioneer Resources LLC (Pioneer)
under the subscription agreement announced on 1
February 2023, reducing the facility by $1.477
million. The average price of the shares issued was
approximately 5.7 cents per share. The Board is
conscious of this issue price being below the 7-cent
“Floor Price” specified in the original agreement
and is exploring alternative funding sources to
repay the Pioneer facility.
While the past year has clearly been a challenging
period for Greenvale, I am confident that we have
all the right ingredients to deliver strong growth for
shareholders in the months and years ahead.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our
shareholders for their continued support, and also
acknowledge the Greenvale team, including my
fellow Board members, for their hard work and
commitment over the past year.
We look forward to a very busy and successful year
ahead.
Neil Biddle
Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Greenvale has a high-quality portfolio of future-focused assets, comprising:
The Alpha Torbanite Project, located in Alpha, Queensland;
The Geothermal Projects, located in the Millungera Basin and Longreach, Queensland;
The EP145 helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon exploration permit in the Amadeus Basin in Central
Australia (acquired during FY2024); and
The Douglas River Uranium Project in the Pine Creek region of the Northern Territory (acquired
subsequent to the end of FY2024).
During the year, Greenvale also held a 20% shareholding in Knox Resources Pty Ltd (Knox), which is the tenement
holder of seven granted Exploration Licences in the highly prospective East Tennant province in the Northern
Territory. This shareholding in Knox was disposed of during FY2024, with Greenvale retaining a 2% Net Smelter
Return (NSR) over future production from the tenements.
ALPHA TOBANITE PROJECT, QLD
Background
The Alpha Torbanite Project is located approximately 50km south of the town of Alpha in Central Queensland,
Australia.
The deposit consists of two seams, an upper seam of mostly lower-grade mineralisation with an average
thickness of 1.12m and a lower seam containing lenses of torbanite up to 1.9m thick. The Project has been subject
to extensive exploration and laboratory testing since its initial discovery in 1939.
Figure 1: Location of the Alpha Torbanite Project
During 2019, SRK Consulting Pty Ltd (“SRK”) was engaged to reassess the project’s commercialisation
strategy. SRK’s report set out a potential new development strategy based on the production of a
diversified suite of value-added products. SRK noted that, in contrast with typical oil shale deposits, the
Alpha torbanite deposit is exceptionally high-grade, containing up to 650 litres of hydrocarbons per tonne
5| GRV – Annual Report 2024
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
of torbanite, and can produce high-value bitumen products.
The upper and lower bituminous shales also produce similar products, albeit at lower yields of 110-140
litres per tonne. Additionally, the torbanite and bituminous shales can deliver high-quality value-added
products through appropriate investment in processing infrastructure. SRK was engaged to undertake a
staged work program to assist in evaluating the project's commercial viability.
Work Undertaken
Background
Greenvale has undertaken a staged approach to the project based on the development of two trains, with the
design of Train 1 underpinned by the results from the completed Liquefaction Test Programs to date (Programs
1, 2 & 3) and preliminary indications from Test Program 4. This information has been used to form the conceptual
design basis of the plant, initially aimed at producing 100,000 tonnes of bitumen and blended products annually
from 500,000 tonnes of mined resource.
Train 2 would commence on completion of Train 1 construction and would increase annual production to 200,000
tonnes of bitumen by expanding the process plant and increasing mining by a further 500,000 tonnes, resulting
an estimated mine life of 20 years.
The projected mine life of 20 years was based on preliminary assessments only and this could be further extended
via an additional Train 3, which would be contemplated if justified by further exploration of the known 10km
strike length and further metallurgical test work. It is important to note that the mine life estimate, while useful
for initial planning, does not fully reflect the mine's operational potential and resource base.
Mineral Resource Estimate Update
On 13th November 2023, the Company announced a 51% increase in the size of the Alpha deposit (ASX
Announcement: Substantial Increase to Alpha Resource). The updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) saw a
9.4Mt increase in total dry tonnes within the deposit, increasing from 18.6Mt in the maiden 2022 Resource to
28Mt of combined cannelite and torbanite.
Table 1: MDL 330 Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate by seam and ply unit (plus % +/- from maiden MRE)
This significant increase in the size of the Alpha deposit meant that, in order for the additional 9.4Mt of cannelite
and torbanite to be included in final modelling for the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), a supplementary sampling and
liquefaction testing campaign would be required on selected samples from the 20 additional HQ core holes
completed in early October 2023 (see ASX announcement, 2 October 2023).
The Company had initially envisaged that Liquefaction Test Program 4 would be sufficient to extrapolate the yield
calculations across the additional 9.4Mt of Resource. However, after consulting with the Company’s technical
advisors, the Greenvale management team believed it was prudent to extend Test Program 4 to include samples
from the core holes acquired in October 2023, which embraced both seams.
6| GRV – Annual Report 2024
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Test Program 4
Liquefaction Test Program 4 (‘Test Program 4’) focused on core samples taken from across the project area and
built on previous work conducted on outcrop samples. Testing was conducted across two sites, Monash
University and Licella, with four well samples (Wells 9, 14, 21 and 28).
Licella’s test work focused on the use of supercritical water as a carrier in a setting that utilised larger reactor
vessels. Unfortunately, most trials did not achieve the optimal supercritical fluid density of around 0.35g/ml for
converting torbanite, cannelite, and blend samples, despite holding reagents at about 400°C for 30 minutes.
Conversions ranged from 28 wt% to 35 wt%, with the potential for improved yields under optimal conditions.
Catalysts were not investigated as part of this program. The supercritical water program by Licella, which was
completed under the direction of Greenvale’s external consultant, PROCOM, contributed valuable insights to
Monash University's broader test work program.
Test Program 4 was extended to include an additional four well samples (Wells 19, 127, 137 and 138). This test
work was undertaken by PROCOM, with the sample analysis split between the HRL and Petrolab laboratories.
A bulk sample produced by Monash University was sent to Technix, Greenvale’s bituminous product advisor, for
product identification and certification. The test work completed by Technix was designed to determine the
potential of the Alpha Project to produce a premium-grade C170 bitumen product. Analysis of bulk samples from
Alpha indicated that, while the shale extract could be used for manufacturing standard or modified types of
bitumen, it did not meet the stringent specifications required for the premium C170 bitumen product.
Late in the reporting period, the Company re-engaged the University of Jordan (UofJ) to undertake Liquefaction
Test Program 5. Test Program 5 is designed to examine the issues raised in Test Program 4 by Technix. The aim
is to take the blended core samples from the Alpha Project, vary the reaction conditions of temperature and
pressure to maximise the asphaltene yield, and then use different catalysts to enhance the quality of the
asphaltene for its viscosity and penetration.
Development Studies
Most of the key activities required to finalise a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Alpha Project were either
completed or significantly progressed during the reporting period. However, due to uncertainties in the process
design ramp-up timetable presented in the draft PFS, the Company elected to downgrade the PFS to a Scoping
Study. This provided an opportunity to demonstrate the financial viability of the project, whilst commencing
pilot scale work to increase process design confidence. This Scoping Study was subsequently placed on hold to
await the results from Test Program 5. On completion of Test Program 5, the Board will then re-assess the best
path forward for the Alpha Project.

GEOTHERMAL PROJECTS
Background
The Company’s geothermal portfolio comprises applications for four Exploration Permits for Geothermal (EPG)
located within central and north-western Queensland, Australia.
Of the Company’s geothermal licences, three licences are located within the highly prospective Millungera Basin
(EPG 2023 (Julia Creek), EPG 2024 (Lara Downs) and EPG2025 (Ouchy). The Millungera applications are located
approximately 120km east of Mount Isa within the North-West Minerals Province (see Figure 5). They lie in the
catchment of the $1.7 billion CopperString 2.0 project, which will connect remote parts of north-western
Queensland to existing power infrastructure in Townsville.
An independent study conducted by the Geological Survey Queensland (GSQ) in June 2018 has highlighted the
Millungera Basin to be the most prospective geothermal site in Australia, believed to have stored thermal energy
likely to exceed 611,000 petajoules.
Additionally, the Company’s geothermal projects will enable the Company to develop a carbon offsetting
strategy, thereby providing sufficient carbon credits to offset future production at the Alpha Torbanite Project.
Work Undertaken
As announced on 11 May 2023, Greenvale launched a desktop Feasibility Study of the Company’s Longreach
(QLD) EPM, assessing the suitability of the area as a potential pilot plant location for a small-scale geothermal
power station. During the year, the Geothermal Feasibility Study was completed, with the Company reporting
the findings to the market on 4 October 2023.
The study was conducted by CeraPhi Energy ("CeraPhi"), who were engaged to assess the area’s geothermal
potential and evaluate the likely effectiveness of their CeraPhiWellTM down-hole heat exchanger technology.
The study's outcomes were encouraging, revealing the capacity of the CeraPhiWell™ technology to provide the
requisite heat for powering a 4.95MW plant in the Longreach region and validated the viability of utilising the
down-well closed-loop technology for supporting a power station. However, due to insufficient opportunities
for commercial off-take and the lack of any heavy industry in the area, building a pilot plant in Longreach was
deemed sub-economic.
In light of this, Greenvale will now focus on the Millungera Basin geothermal potential, which has target depths
of 2.5-3km and large-scale regional power requirements. CeraPhi remains steadfast in its optimism about the
8| GRV – Annual Report 2024
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
potential of the CeraPhiWell technology within the Australian landscape, underscoring its adaptability and
applicability.
Next Steps
The focus of Greenvale’s geothermal program will now shift to the Millungera Basin, with the Company also
exploring avenues for reducing well costs, including the potential acquisition of a rig tailored to the project's
needs.
The Company is also undertaking a thorough sub-surface assessment to identify drilling risks and define
subterranean stratigraphy more accurately.

75% INTEREST IN HELIUM, HYDROGEN AND HYDROCARBON PROJECT (EP145)
Background
In October 2023, the Company executed a Farm-in Agreement with Mosman Oil & Gas Ltd (AIM: MSMN,
“Mosman”) to acquire a potentially ultra-high-grade helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbon opportunity in the
Amadeus Basin in Central Australia.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenvale Gas Pty Ltd (Greenvale
Gas), acquired a 75% interest in the EP145 permit in the Northern Territory which was 100%-owned by Trident
Energy Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mosman Oil & Gas. The agreement was subject to Ministerial
Consent from the Northern Territory Government, which was awarded on 30 April 2024.
Mosman reported a Prospective Resource Estimate for EP145 on 24 October 2022 which included a “Best
Estimate” (applying the SPE PRMS standard) of 440 Billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) Total Gas, including 26.4Bcf of
helium and 26.4Bcf of hydrogen.
The Amadeus Basin has a long history of hydrocarbon production in the Palaeozoic and late Proterozoic
succession. Helium and hydrogen production has been proven through exploration drilling, with some of the
highest concentrations of helium globally – highlighting its potential to become a world-class province for helium
and hydrogen.
9| GRV – Annual Report 2024
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Mosman’s Permits
Figure 3 – Location of Mosman Permits in the Amadeus Basin
The EP145 permit sits within recognised play fairways for helium and hydrogen and contains proven
hydrocarbon discoveries. The permit lies on-trend with the producing Mereenie oil & gas field and is optimally
located for helium, hydrogen and hydrocarbons.
Successful helium wells are located along the margins of the Amadeus Basin at Mt Kitty-1 and Magee-1, with
existing gas pipeline infrastructure to Darwin and the Australian East Coast, providing an opportunity for rapid
development and commercialisation.
A preliminary technical evaluation commissioned by Mosman in 2022 and undertaken by Geognostics Australia
Pty Ltd identified favourable scenarios for all three essential play elements related to viable helium and
hydrogen plays. These components are also present in the Mount Kitty-1 and Magee-1 wells. The key findings
of the Technical Report included2:
1.
identified favourable scenarios for all three essential play elements related to viable helium and hydrogen
plays including:
(a) basement composition as a source of helium;
(b) basement structure and connectivity via faults systems to support entrapment and / or migration of
deeply-sourced gases (hydrogen and helium); and
(c) possible seal facies above basement
2.
EP145 is underlain by felsic-intermediate granites, a known source of helium in the basin.
3.
EP145 contains the West Walker anticline with traps at multiple levels and migration pathways.
4.
The Gillen Formation evaporites interlayered with thin salt could be present and could act as viable seals.
10| GRV – Annual Report 2024
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Figure 1: Helium play fairway map, Amadeus Basin.
Since 2006, the helium market has experienced periods of severe supply shortages, with strong forecast demand
growth and very few new sources of supply in the pipeline.
The EP145 acquisition provides an exciting opportunity for Greenvale to target the rapidly expanding helium
market, with global helium demand currently estimated to be around 6Bcf per annum and expected to increase
to 8.5Bcf by 2030.
Agreement Terms
Under the terms of the farm-in agreement, Greenvale Gas will earn a 75% working interest in EP145 by:
•
•
•
Paying an upfront cash payment of $160,000 to Trident Energy within five business days of the
Completion date;
On completion, funding the Permit Year 3 Work Program including acquisition of seismic data (originally
required to be completed by August 2024, subsequently extended to 21 February 2025); and
Funding the drilling of one well (originally required to be completed by August 2025, subsequently
extended to 21 February 2026).
Completion was subject to various Northern Territory Government approvals, which were obtained on the 29th
April 2024.
The cost of seismic data acquisition was estimated to be circa $2 million.
In the second operation and based on the results from the seismic work, Greenvale is to undertake to drill the
well at an expected cost of $5.5 million. Any costs over $5.5 million are to be split between Greenvale and
Mosman on a 75:25 basis.
Under the terms of the transaction, Greenvale assumed Operatorship of the EP145 permit under a Joint
Operating Agreement (JOA). All decisions under the JOA are to be made by the Operating Committee. A majority
for decisions made under the Operating Committee requires a majority of one or more persons who has a 70%
ownership interest.
11| GRV – Annual Report 2024
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Work Undertaken
Following the receipt of Ministerial Consent on 29 April 2024, which satisfied the final condition of the
agreement with Mosman Oil & Gas, Greenvale assumed full operational control of EP145 to initiate plans for the
Year 3 Work Program.
The Company was awarded a $100,000 co-funding grant from the Northern Territory Government as part of
Round 17 of the NTGS Geophysics and Drilling Collaborations program. This funding is earmarked for an initial
seismic line in EP145, which forms a key part of the proposed 2D seismic survey.
This survey, named the Wild Horse 2D seismic program, aims to gather vital data to help map the geological
structures and de-risk future exploration activities targeting helium, hydrogen, and hydrocarbon resources.
The seismic survey is designed to image basement reflectors thought to be as deep as 5km below sea level,
which is essential for identifying prospective targets and guiding drilling efforts. This data acquisition is expected
to provide a high-quality dataset that will significantly enhance Greenvale’s ability to explore the ultra-highgrade helium potential of the EP145 permit.
Due to the Northern Territory elections, the NT Government went into caretaker mode from 1 August 2024 until
completion of the election. As a result, major decisions which could potentially impact approvals for
Environmental Management Plans under assessment were placed on hold. Greenvale applied to the NT
Government to extend the current permit year commitments by six months to allow for the completion of the
planned 2D seismic survey and to keep the permit in good standing.
The Company’s application to extend the permit was approved by the Northern Territory Department of
Industry, Tourism & Trade on 6th August 2024. The approval for the permit extension means that Greenvale will
now have until 21 February 2025 to complete the Year 3 Work Program, which includes:
•
•
•
•
Acquisition of 100km 2D seismic survey
Seismic data processing and interpretation
Identification of well locations
Detailed well planning and preparation
The Year 4 Work Program must be completed by 21 February 2026 and includes:
• Drill first exploration well
• Assess drilling results and plan for next well
The Year 5 Work Program must be completed by 21 February 2027 and includes:
• Drill second exploration well
• Analysis and interpretation of data
• Reservoir and geological studies
• Prepare to apply for Retention Lease, Production License, Permit Renewal and Relinquishment of
permit area
