Tamboran Resources Corporation (ASX:TBN, NYSE:TBN) completes first part of PIPE funding to advance development at Beetaloo Basin
Second tranche of placement planned, with shareholder meeting scheduled in August
Acreage sale agreement with Daly Waters Energy adds momentum to Tamboran’s regional strategy
Tamboran Resources Corporation (ASX:TBN), (NYSE:TBN), an energy exploration and production company, reported progress on its ongoing private placement and drilling initiatives. The company’s primary operations are centered in the Beetaloo Sub-basin within the Greater McArthur Basin, located in Australia's Northern Territory. Activity in the energy sector contributed to broader market sentiment, including the ASX 200, which tracked moves across key commodities and exploration stocks.
The company recently closed the initial stage of a previously announced private placement transaction, intended to support drilling campaigns and associated infrastructure. Tamboran continues its efforts to initiate production at the Shenandoah South Pilot Project, with planned activity focused on well completion and compression facility development.
PIPE Transaction Details and Future Approvals
Tamboran finalized the issuance of shares under the first phase of its private placement within existing listing rule allowances. This tranche included the issuance of shares to multiple participants, raising capital for upcoming projects at Shenandoah South and other associated developments in the Beetaloo Basin.
A second tranche of the placement is scheduled for completion later this year, pending shareholder approval. A special shareholder meeting has been set to review the issuance of additional shares to certain directors, an external energy investment entity, and other participating groups. These issuances fall under the relevant sections of the company’s listing requirements on both the ASX and NYSE.
Tamboran has stated that it intends to register the resale of these shares through a formal filing process, following the standard procedures under applicable securities regulations. This transaction structure enables Tamboran to access ongoing funding to advance exploration and operational targets.
Drilling and Infrastructure Development Projects
Tamboran’s operational focus includes the completion of drilling for multiple wells at the Shenandoah South site, part of the larger Pilot Project aimed at long-term plateau production. Additional funding will be directed toward supporting the Sturt Plateau Compression Facility, enabling Tamboran and its joint venture partner to finalise funding arrangements with external lenders.
Work is underway at various locations within Tamboran’s extensive acreage, with a goal to establish necessary infrastructure ahead of production timelines. The company also holds a significant footprint at the Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct in Darwin, designated for future LNG processing infrastructure.
Land Agreement Strengthens Strategic Position
As part of its broader acreage management strategy, Tamboran has executed a binding agreement with Daly Waters Energy to divest a non-controlling and non-operating stake across designated areas of its post-checkerboard holdings. This transaction spans multiple development areas, enhancing flexibility across Tamboran’s exploration portfolio.
The land transaction does not require shareholder approval and is subject to various closing conditions, including internal approvals by Daly Waters Energy’s affiliated entities and regulatory clearance. It complements Tamboran’s broader objective to scale drilling operations and refine asset alignment in the Northern Territory.
Corporate Overview and Project Footprint
Tamboran Resources Corporation operates across several exploration permits and development zones in the Beetaloo Basin. Key assets include working interests in EP 136, EP 161, and multiple ex-EPs with large surface areas. These interests include both operated and non-operated acreage, with the company holding majority positions in several key licenses.
Preliminary work also continues at the Middle Arm precinct, where Tamboran plans to develop its Northern Territory LNG initiative. Early design activity is being led by engineering firm Bechtel Corporation as part of front-end planning efforts. Tamboran’s development roadmap remains centered on delivering gas production aligned with long-term infrastructure plans and existing resource baselines.
