About this update from Blue Energy Limited

‌30 January 2026 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT to 31 December 2025 Blue Energy Limited (ASX: BLU, 'Blue Energy', 'Blue' or 'the Company') is pleased to report on activities during the quarter ended 31 December 2025 across its acreage in Queensland and the Northern Territory, in which the Company's key gas and oil projects are located. KEY HIGHLIGHTS Progressing environmental data acquisition to meet Environmental Authority requirements for PL 1034 (Sapphire) development In parallel, planning is underway for a new well in PL 1034. Blue has 91 PJ of 2P Gas Reserves + and 1,617 PJ of 2C Gas Resources + (2P+2C = 1,708 PJ) Blue has $4.97 million of cash and zero debt Awaiting decision by Qld Government on ATP 854 Potential Commercial Area Awards Queensland Energy Roadmap developed by the Queensland Government confirms critical role of gas in the electricity system reliability and firming with up to 2 times growth in capacity. Macroeconomic global energy landscape is shifting rapidly to recognise need for more dispatchable electricity - Major global forum highlights the shortcomings of renewable energy in modern economies and the need for more dispatchable electricity. Progression of PL 1034 - Sapphire Block Blue continues to undertake the requisite environmental studies in compliance with the Land Court issued Environmental Authority for PL 1034 (Sapphire). Planning is also underway for a new gas appraisal well ATP 854 PCA decisions Blue is awaiting a decision from the Queensland Government (Department of Natural Resources, Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development) on the award of several Potential Commercial Areas lodged by Blue covering the 398 PJ of Contingent Resources estimated in ATP 854 near the township of Injune in Queensland (near the Wallumbilla gas hub) The Queensland Energy Roadmap The release last year by the Queensland Treasurer of the Queensland Energy Roadmap has elevated the role of gas in the provision of electricity for Queensland and Queensland Industry. The Queensland Treasurer the Hon David Janetski in releasing the Roadmap highlighted the need for gas as a critical technology for system reliability and firming as the (electricity) generation mix changes over time. The Treasurer also identified that the current 3.5 GW of combined and open-cycle gas turbine capacity operating across Queensland's energy system will need to expand up to 4.1 GW of gas-fired generation by 2030 and then again by 2035, to between 6.1 - 8.3 GW. The Roadmap highlights that "the need for new gas capacity is universal across all market outlooks to de-risk the energy system as it transitions over time." It also records that "over the next five years, strategic investments through Government Owned energy Corporations will deliver over 700 MW of new gas generation capacity." The impact of rapid growth in AI and Data Centre infrastructure in Australia is yet to be fully understood but it will only increase electricity demand and potentially place more stress on the east coast electricity grid. Macro-economic global energy landscape changing The World Economic Forum (WEF) annual series of meetings and presentations held in Davos Switzerland this month has produced a recurring theme of "Energy Realism", delivered by several prominent corporate CEO's. The interplay between growth in Artificial Intelligence (AI) capacity, data centre expansion, and energy system supply was a central theme at WEF 2026. Participants repeatedly stressed that energy availability and infrastructure must be prioritised alongside digital ambitions - otherwise technological progress risks outpacing the physical systems needed to support it. AI and data centres require massive amounts of electricity (on a continuous 24/7/365 basis) - in most cases supplied in quantities far more than many grids are currently able to provide. This situation will create competition for power between the different sectors (domestic heating and manufacturing versus tech) unless careful energy planning is grounded in realism This is particularly relevant to Australia's current grid configuration and energy mix. To highlight the elevation of energy as a prime issue within the Davos forum (compared to previous conference focus on Climate) the following quotes are noted from key individuals: Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur said: " Solar power cannot produce cement. Solar power cannot produce steel. They are very energy intensive. It's physics. Renewables remain in the mix, but it cannot bring the amount of joules we need to produce this infrastructure which is required in the world ." Elon Musk (Tesla, Spacex et al) said: " I think the limiting factor for AI deployment is fundamentally electrical power … we'll be producing more chips than we can turn on." Fatih Birol (Executive Director International Energy Agency - IEA) said: "…This demand will be met by renewables, natural gas and nuclear power. I have never seen the energy security risks multiplying (like this). Energy security should be elevated to the level of national security." Larry Fink (CEO of Blackrock and Chairman of WEF) said: " The world is going to be short of power. And to supply these data centres, you cannot rely solely on intermittent sources like wind and solar. You need dispatchable power, because these data centres cannot simply turn on and off ." ACTIVITY IN PROVEN BASINS Bowen Basin, Queensland: ATP 814 (Blue Energy 100% and Operator) With the grant of PL 1034 (Sapphire Project) by the Queensland Government, Blue continues to pursue those additional environmental requirements that were detailed in the Land Court approval of April 2025, to grant an amended Environmental Authority. In broad terms these revolve around baseline groundwater and fauna surveys ahead of any development of the field. Figure 1: Sapphire block (PL 1034) of ATP 814 in relation to the Moranbah Gas Project and the related gas producing wells. Also shown is the proposed pipeline connection from Sapphire to the MGP Node 3 connection and initial proposed Sapphire development. The existing Sapphire Pilot is situated within the PL 1034 production licence, (previously part of ATP 814) which is located immediately adjacent to the Moranbah Gas Project (MGP)- See Figure 1. The Sapphire 6 pilot wells continue to flow gas, whilst Sapphire 5 pilot is awaiting down hole pump replacement. The MGP is a producing gas field owned and operated by Queensland Pacific Minerals Energy (QPME). Blue Energy has a current non-binding MoU to supply gas to QPME's proposed Nickel refinery in Townsville. With the acquisition of the MGP by QPME, there is alignment between QPME and Blue Energy for the Company to utilise MGP infrastructure to fulfil the supply agreement to the proposed QPME Townsville plant. Reflecting this alignment, Blue and QPME also executed a non-binding MoU to supply pilot gas to the MGP from the Sapphire Pilot via a proposed pipeline connection from the Sapphire Pilot location to the Node 3 compressor station within the Moranbah Gas field (Figure 1). Surat Basin, Queensland: ATP 854 (Blue Energy 100% and Operator) As detailed in previous Quarterly Reports, Blue has long-standing Potential Commercial Area (PCA) applications over parts of the ATP 854 permit area seeking the tenure upgrade (from ATP to PCA) to facilitate this tenure to progress toward developing of potential new economic gas resource, identified by Blue's exploration drilling work in the permit to date. Following submission of the additional information requested by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development (The Department), Blue awaits it's decision on grant of these PCA's to accelerate bringing this new gas supply to the market as either sales gas or electricity. Blue has in earlier announcements reported 398 PJ + of Contingent Resources (recoverable gas) in ATP 854 as assessed by Netherland, Sewell and Associates Inc (NSAI). The gas resource is located near the heart of the CSG-LNG Surat Basin gas supply precinct and has gas pipeline infrastructure linking Wallumbilla to Gladstone running directly through the permit (Figure 2 below). Figure 2: Location of ATP 854 in relation to existing pipeline infrastructure and major gas fields. Source: Blue Energy. + see Listing Rule 5.42 Disclosure at page 9. ACTIVITY IN EMERGING BASINS Greater McArthur Basin, Northern Territory: (Various permits and equity levels, Blue Energy Operator: see Table 2) As previously reported (Quarterly Report dated 30 April 2025), Blue Energy's work program is under suspension and an extension of the tenure terms for EP's 200, 205 and 207is in force through to mid February 2026, from the NT Government. The NT Government has confirmed that Blue has currently met its statutory work program obligations for EP 200 and EP 207 under the terms of grant of these two tenures As also reported previously, Blue Energy is in the process of earning a greater interest in these awarded tenures (the post farm in interest) from our Joint Venture partner. Accordingly, as the first 4 years of the work commitment has been completed to the satisfaction of the Northern Territory Government, Blue continues to pursue its post farm in 50% equity in EP's 200 & 205.
