Highlights

Bounty announced a strategic entry into deepwater Liberia in September 2026.
The company disclosed an LB-32 technical Due Diligence programme in October.
A 5 November announcement addressed a chief operating officer appointment and AGR memorandum of understanding.
Bounty also maintained interests across Australian onshore and offshore oil and gas projects.

A new West African project direction has joined the established Australian portfolio of Bounty Oil & Gas NL (ASX:BUY). Its September announcement concerning Liberia was followed by October technical due diligence and a November Leadership and memorandum-of-understanding update, providing a distinct corporate theme for the closing months of 2026.

Liberia Enters the Project Portfolio

On 22 September, Bounty announced a strategic entry into deepwater Liberia. The company followed this on 13 October with the commencement of a technical due diligence programme relating to LB-32. Due diligence is an evaluation stage; it does not itself represent drilling, reserve certification or the start of offshore production. The announcements indicate a geographic expansion of Bounty’s opportunity set and a requirement for further technical and commercial work before firm development commitments.

Leadership and an Industry MOU

Bounty’s 5 November company announcement reported an appointment of a chief operating officer and an AGR memorandum of understanding. The combination indicates a focus on operational capability and external technical relationships. A memorandum of understanding should not be treated as a fully executed development contract unless the stated terms confirm one. The appointment and relationship may support work planning, while the project-level decisions remain distinct from the corporate changes.

Australian Assets Remain Part of the Strategy

Bounty continues to identify interests in the Cooper-Eromanga, Surat, Carnarvon and offshore Sydney basins. During 2026 its announcement register also featured updates on Queensland projects and the Naccowlah Block, alongside financing and Shareholder matters. These assets differ in producing status, Maturity and operatorship. The company’s financial and exploration priorities must therefore be understood project by project rather than portrayed as one uniform production programme.

Outlook: Next Milestones

Bounty’s forthcoming work centres on assessing Liberia, progressing relevant technical and Partnership arrangements and managing its Australian assets. Any drilling or development remains conditional on project-specific decisions.

BUY was quoted at AUD 0.007 on 6 November 2026, with a reported change of 0.00%, no recorded session Volume and Market Capitalisation of approximately AUD 9.51 million. The absence of trades should not be described as active price stability.
