Elixir Energy Company Overview

Elixir Energy Limited (Elixir) is an energy company with natural gas projects in Australia and Mongolia (and a green hydrogen project in the latter country as well).

The Company’s current main focus is on its Grandis Gas Project located in Queensland, Australia – where in the success case gas can be sold into both international and domestic markets. Queensland hosts a number of liquified natural gas (LNG) export facilities that have increasing spare capacity.

Elixir opened up coal bed methane (CBM) gas exploration in Mongolia in the last 5 years and after drilling more than 50 exploration and appraisal wells is currently running a pilot project with the intent of proving commercial gas flows.

Elixir also established Mongolia’s first green hydrogen project – “Gobi H2” and is currently partnered with a member of the Toyota Group in that venture.

Opportunity

It is increasingly recognized by global energy companies, Governments, NGOs and investors alike that natural gas will play a critical role in the energy transition for many decades to come. Well located gas resources will find profitable markets for the foreseeable future – and Elixir’s criteria for project selection has always been underpinned by their proximity to key markets.

Queensland is an existing gas province with multiple global players producing gas for both international and domestic markets. Particularly following the Ukraine War, Australia’s role as a secure supply source has been increasingly valued by the likes of Japan, South Korea, etc.

Over the last dozen years, Mongolia has emerged as a major supplier of energy to China in the form of coal – taking advantage of its immediate proximity. China is the world’s largest energy importer and also buys natural gas from multiple countries. From China’s point of view, Mongolia is a highly secure energy supplier.

Elixir offers exposure to two natural gas projects with great locational advantages and significant resource upside. Elixir has successfully positioned itself to get ahead of the much larger energy players who are generally required to develop such material assets. Elixir’s ability to deal with larger players is reflected not only in the histories of its Directors, but also in its recent successful procuring of a very large Japanese partner in the Gobi H2 venture.

Summary

Elixir is an energy company listed on the ASX led by a highly experienced Board with a significant track record of success in natural gas projects. 

The company’s Chairman, Richard Cottee, led Queensland based CBM company QGC from a $20M junior to a $5B take-out by BG Group. Managing Director Neil Young also has extensive Australian gas experience and in the last ~12 years has also built up considerable expertise in Mongolia – and was awarded the first CBM licence in that country.

Elixir is a well capitalized company and a well traded stock. Following a recent equity raise it is positioned to fully fund all of its projects and in particular the high impact Daydream-2 well in Queensland. The costs for this well are also supported by a ~50% Government cash contribution given its R&D nature.

Daydream-2 is a deep tight gas well located in a very large licence located very close to gas infrastructure. It is due to spud in early November and be stimulated early in 2024. Flow results in Q2 next year should place Elixir on a path to materially increase its contingent resources (already ~400 Bcf) and put it on the journey to booking its maiden reserves. Success will likely attract major party interest of various forms.

Risk Factors and Mitigation

As an exploration company Elixir has no revenues and accordingly its ability to fund its ventures depends on securing capital from equity markets, partnerships and other non-income sources (for instance, around half of Elixir’s Grandis Gas Project is being funded by Government credits due to its R&D nature).

The company’s projects in Mongolia are located in a developing nation, which gives rise to certain sovereign risks related to factors such as immature laws and regulators, etc.

And, as always when dealing with mother nature as a resource exploration company, geological risks can never be eliminated.
