Hartshead Resources NL ( (AU:HHR) ) has provided an announcement.

Hartshead Resources reported that work on developing the Anning and Somerville gas fields within Licence P2607 is continuing under the existing 2024 joint venture budget, with the project supported by a strong UK and European gas market and a clear Phase 1 development plan. The company highlighted a solid balance sheet with more than $22 million in cash, backing from the UK oil and gas regulator, and ongoing engagement with political and industry stakeholders to secure a supportive regulatory environment.

To optimise funding for critical UK gas infrastructure, Hartshead is exploring third-party financing structures that would shift some upfront capital expenditure into operating tariffs, with the aim of enhancing project cash flows and shareholder value. In parallel, the company has entered a binding scheme implementation deed with ACAM, under which ACAM will acquire 100% of Hartshead for about A$40 million in cash, a deal unanimously recommended by directors that offers shareholders a substantial premium and mitigates development and regulatory risks associated with its UK assets.
