ABOUT BURU ENERGY

BURU ENERGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2025
Dear Shareholders,
2025: From Strategy to Execution
In 2025 we have pursued the implementation of the
necessary and disciplined reset of our corporate
trajectory which was defined and communicated in
2024. We began the year with a clear plan: to transform
Buru Energy from a diverse explorer into a targeted
developer of the only proven significant conventional
gas discovery in the Canning Basin - the Rafael Gas
Project. The Project includes the production of small-
scale LNG for the existing and growing Northern
Western Australia market.
During 2025 we have streamlined our portfolio, secured
a world-class development partner, and cleared the
primary regulatory hurdles required to prepare the
Rafael Gas Project for a Final Investment Decision (FID)
targeted for the second half of 2026.
The Rafael Gas Project: De-Risking Path to Production
The signing of the Strategic Development Agreement
(SDA) with Clean Energy Fuels Australia (CEFA)
in April 2025 was a key milestone for Buru. This
partnership materially enables the Rafael development
by leveraging CEFA’s expertise, assets and capital
whilst retaining upside value for Buru shareholders.
Under the agreement, CEFA will finance, build, and
operate the midstream infrastructure—including the
LNG and condensate facilities—while Buru retains
100% of the upstream interest. By reducing Buru’s
Rafael funding requirements to primarily the planned
2026 appraisal program, we have significantly
reduced our capital exposure while maintaining
the lion's share of the project's value and upside.
We are working toward a phased development that
targets first gas and long-term cash flows by 2028,
whilst also providing a cost-effective solution to a
strategically important portion of Western Australia's
tightening domestic gas market.
Operational Excellence and Regulatory Momentum
In the past year Buru has "cleared the deck" in
preparation for the 2026 drilling campaign. We
successfully secured:
- a 2-year extension for our Production Licence
application, providing the necessary runway to
finalise the Rafael resource validation;
- key environmental approvals from the Western
Australia Government for the 2026 drilling program,
including the Rafael 2H (formerly Rafael B) well;
and
- technical validation of the Rafael 3D seismic data,
which has confirmed our confidence in the core
Rafael resource and importantly also identified
the high-potential Flying Fox prospect, adding
significant "near-field" upside to our Canning Basin
hub.
Integrated Energy and Strategic Divestments
To help ensure every dollar of shareholder capital is
directed toward our core value-driver, we completed
the divestment of our Battmin assets to Sipa Resources
Limited and 2H Resources to Koloma Australia Pty Ltd
by mid-2025.
While we remain believers in the future of these
business lines, they are better placed with specialist
operators. The divestment terms provided both
immediate cash and long-term potential upside and
ensure Buru remains a "pure play" on the massive
potential of the Canning Basin.
Chair’s and Chief
Executive Officer’s Message
BURU ENERGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Our People: a Lean, High-Performance Culture
Following the "right-sizing" of our organisation in
late 2024, 2025 was a year of stabilisation and focus
on performance. We have successfully cultivated a
"lean-core" model - maintaining a small, highly expert
internal team while leveraging strategic partnerships for
specialised technical, commercial and corporate needs.
This model has allowed us to remain agile and keep
overheads low whilst ensuring we retain the deep
institutional and geological knowledge of the Canning
Basin that is one of Buru’s competitive advantages.
We thank our staff for their resilience and commitment
during this transition. The "can-do" spirit of the Buru
team is what allows us to punch well above our weight.
It is this team that will deliver Buru’s future.
Governance and Stakeholder Engagement
Transparency and accountability are the cornerstones
of how we interact with the capital markets, our local
communities and other stakeholders. The Board’s focus
has been on strategic risk management, particularly in
navigating the CEFA partnership and the divestment
of non-core assets. The key business decisions were
made through a lens of maximizing shareholder medium
and long-term value and cost prudence whilst strictly
adhering to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles.
Our relationship with the Traditional Owners of the
lands on which we operate remains a highly valued
and key priority. We continue to engage in proactive,
respectful dialogue to ensure that the development
of the Rafael Project provides tangible, long-term
benefits to the local communities through employment
opportunities and business support.
Financial Discipline
We have remained steadfast in our commitment to capital
discipline. Following the 40% headcount reduction and
$3 million G&A savings initiated in late 2024, we further
rationalized our acreage in 2025, surrendering non-core
permits to reduce holding costs by 60%.
The successful $4.4 million capital raise through our
Placement and Share Purchase Plan (SPP) in late 2025
was a clear vote of confidence from the market. These
funds have provided the working capital necessary to
maintain momentum as we move through our global
process to secure upstream funding for the estimated
circa $40 million 2026 Rafael appraisal program.
We are mindful of the significant and long-term value
of the Rafael Gas Project and the relatively short time
frame to first production and cash flow. Therefore,
our objective with respect to financing is to retain as
much project equity as possible for the benefit of Buru
shareholders.
A Vision for 2026 and Beyond
The Canning Basin is increasingly recognised as a vital
pillar of Western Australia’s energy security. The recent
EPA recommendations for neighbouring hydrocarbon
projects in the region further validates our long-
held view that this basin will become a Tier-1 energy
province.
As we look toward 2026, our priorities are clear:
- Partnering: finalise the global search for upstream
funding to support the planned 2026 Rafael
appraisal drilling program, whilst retaining as much
value as possible for Buru shareholders;
- Drilling: execute the Rafael 2H well and Rafael
1 recompletion and flow tests to convert our
contingent resources into certified reserves;
- Approvals: secure environmental and heritage
approvals for the Rafael Gas Project, and
- FID: reach a Final Investment Decision (FID)
targeted for H2 2026 to unlock the Rafael Gas
Project execution phase.
The Board and Management is very conscious that the
Buru share price does not reflect the value of the Rafael
Gas Project and subsequent growth opportunities. We
are confident the successful delivery of the Project
and long-term material cash flow will result in a very
significant increase in shareholder value.
Conclusion
We thank our Directors, our dedicated team, the
Western Australia Government, the Traditional
Owner partners and other service providers for their
collaboration and support during this transformative
year. Most importantly, we thank you, our shareholders,
for your patience and support.
Buru Energy is leaner, more focused, and closer to
production and significant long-term cashflow than at
any point in its history. We are no longer just exploring
for "what might be"—we are building the foundation for
"what will be."

Exploration and Appraisal
Rafael Gas Project (EP 428 – Buru
100% and Operator)
The development of the Rafael Gas Project (Rafael)
represents the most valuable opportunity within Buru’s
portfolio, as the significant long-term cash flow that
can be generated from Rafael gas and condensate
production can set the foundation for further growth.
Rafael is strategically positioned to play a crucial role
in transforming the energy system of the greater
Kimberley and north Pilbara regions, which currently
depend on imported gas (in the form of trucked LNG)
and diesel. Rafael provides a safe, cost-effective, and
reliable local energy source. It is a local alternative to
higher cost and sometimes interrupted, fuel imports for
domestic power generation and mining, particularly for
regional customers in the greater Kimberley region.
On 2 April 2025, the Company announced the signing
of a Strategic Development Agreement (SDA) with
Clean Energy Fuels Australia (CEFA) for the Rafael Gas
Project.
CEFA is an experienced builder, owner, and operator
of small-scale Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) plants in
Western Australia. They are an ideal partner for co-
developing the Rafael gas resource and incorporating
Rafael LNG into their portfolio for remote gas
customers. They provide LNG distribution capabilities
through their associated company, EVOL LNG, which
operates the largest fleet of LNG road tankers and
ISO containers in Australia. CEFA, part of the OCTA
Group of privately held entities, is supported by I
Squared Capital, a prominent global infrastructure fund
managing over U$40 billion in assets worldwide.
Under the SDA, CEFA will finance, construct, own, and
operate an LNG processing plant with a capacity of up
to 300 tonnes per day at the Rafael 1 well site, thereby
limiting Buru’s financial exposure to upstream gas
production wells and associated facilities, and a gas
and condensate processing tariff paid to CEFA.
Buru and CEFA have committed to collaborating closely
on initiatives to further mitigate development risks,
aiming for a Final Investment Decision in 2H 2026, with
production and cash flow expected to commence from
Q1 2028. This timing is consistent with the Western
Australian State Government’s plans to overhaul the
Kimberley energy system and reduce the reliance on
imported gas and diesel into the region.
Buru is creating a small-footprint Kimberley gas
business that ensures long-term cash flow. This low-
impact, low-technology risk development suitable
for deployment based around the existing cleared
Rafael 1 well pad, was chosen for its ability to expedite
regulatory approvals and land tenure, providing the
quickest route to production and cash flow from the
Rafael resource.

BURU ENERGY LTD - ANNUAL REPORT 2025
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
In November 2025, the Company engaged a Corporate
Advisor to manage a global process to secure funding
to finance the estimated A$40 million required for the
2026 Rafael resource and flowrate validation program,
and subsequent independent reserves certification.
The process has attracted international and domestic
parties who are undertaking detailed due diligence on
the opportunity to participate in a high value business
with significant growth opportunities.
The process is targeted to be completed in time to
enable the commitment to long lead items for the 2026
drilling program.
Drilling planning is continuing for the upcoming Rafael
resource and flowrate validation program. The current
well designs for both Rafael 2H (previously named
Rafael B) and Rafael 1 include horizontal sections to
optimise deliverability and the ultimate reserves.
- The Rafael Gas Project is based on high confidence 1C Resource of 85 Bscf1
- 2C best estimate (220 Bscf)1
or the 3C resource case (523 Bscf)1
adds material upside
- Small footprint (based around existing cleared Rafael 1 discovery well pad)
- No pipeline (trucked LNG and condensate)
- Proven design, modularised construction
- Many global plants in operation, with several in Australia and WA
- Up to 300t of LNG and ~250bbls or more of condensate per day
- Current plan is 2 wells (including Rafael 1 well recompletion)
- 20-year production life with robust cashflow
- Upside with greater resource and market growth

The Rafael Economic Screening illustrated in Figure 3 below highlights the potential value of Rafael. The
development of the Rafael Gas Project represents a transformational value opportunity for Buru.
Based on assumptions of A$15/GJ for gas and A$1.50 per litre for condensate, the total project value generated
by Rafael is projected to yield a gross unrisked NPV of A$400 million (100% equity total project economics), along
with an annual gross cash flow before tax of approximately A$70 million.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Flying Fox Prospect (EP 428 – Buru 100% and Operator)
On 14 August 2025 Buru announced a new exploration prospect, named Flying Fox had been identified following
work on the interpretation of the Rafael 3D Seismic acquired in 2023. The Flying Fox prospect lies immediately
beneath the main Rafael gas and condensate field at a depth of approximately 4,015m TVDSS3
.
The Flying Fox prospect has been assessed to contain Prospective Resources5
between 60 Bscf and 614 Bscf of
gas, with a best estimate (P50) volume of 247 Bscf, and between 1.2 MMstb and 12.6 MMstb of condensate with
a best estimate (P50) of 5.0 MMstb. This is similar in size to the Contingent Resources4
assessed for the primary
Rafael reservoir interval which currently forms the basis for the Rafael Gas Project. The Flying Fox prospect can be
tested by drilling an incremental ~500 meters below the Rafael gas accumulation at the Rafael 2H target location.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential to include the testing of the Flying Fox prospect within the 2026
Rafael drilling campaign, via a cost-effective deepening of the Rafael 2H well.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Ungani Oilfield (L20/L21 - Buru Energy 100%)
The Ungani Oilfield assets remain under a care and maintenance program. The restart of Ungani production
requires the renegotiation of certain commercial terms pursuant to the existing Ungani Native Title agreements and
requisite field management regulatory approvals.
Buru continues to explore opportunities to add incremental oil production from near-field prospects located within
tie-back distance to the Ungani production facilities, with Mars being the primary target located approximately 9km
north of the Ungani production facilities in Production Licence L 20.
Mars is a large fault-bounded anticlinal closure up-dip from the interpreted oil pay in the Ungani North 1 well that is
confidently defined on high quality modern 3D seismic data. The prospect was initially identified on the Ungani 3D
seismic, with the structure confirmed on the reprocessed Ungani 3D pre-stack depth migration volume in 2019.
Ungani North 1 confirmed excellent reservoir quality within the Reeves Formation sandstones with 17% porosity
measured from sidewall cores at 1,765m. Strong oil shows in several sidewall cores recovered from sands of the
Reeves Formation at Ungani North 1 provides confidence of oil charge into the Mars structure. Buru’s internal
assessment indicates a chance of success of 40% for a Mars 1 well6
.
Buru is continuing with its activities to seek a farmout partner for the Mars Prospect, with any potential exploration
success providing strategic optionality and funding for Buru’s Rafael Gas Project development.

During the year Buru engaged with the Western
Australian Government Department of Mines,
Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) to rationalise the
Company’s exploration acreage in the Canning Basin.
All applications for work program changes, and seven
partial title surrender applications were approved by
DMPE.
The outcome of this rationalisation is a ~60% reduction
in exploration permit and production licence areas,
as well as the associated regulatory holding costs
and work commitments. The Company continues to
maintain the permits in good standing with minimal
expenditure being incurred.
