Monumental Energy Announces Completion of Workover and Resumption of Commercial Production at the Copper Moki-2 Oil and Gas Well in New Zealand
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Monumental Energy Corp. (' Monumental ' or the ' Company ') (TSX-V: MNRG; FSE: ZA6; OTCQB: MNMRF) is pleased to announce the successful workover and resumption of commercial production at the Copper Moki-2 (CM-2) well, located in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. The primary objective of the CM-2 workover was to restore oil and associated gas production from the Mt. Messenger sands and to address flow restrictions identified during prior operations. Additionally, the program included perforating and testing previously untapped hydrocarbon zones. At CM-2, three new intervals have been perforated, which are expected to contribute to significant flush production rates and increase overall output. Early indications confirm the new pump is functioning as expected, with approximately 300 barrels of brine—previously used to maintain pressure—successfully pumped out of the well. The Copper Moki-1 (CM-1) workover is expected to take approximately 10 days. If successful, the well will be placed on continuous production alongside CM-2. Monumental Energy and NZEC anticipate significant flush production rates from both wells. At the time of the original drill program at Copper Moki, New Zealand faced a gas surplus, and the field remained isolated from the gas network. Today, the field has been fully integrated into the gas infrastructure, presenting a meaningful revenue opportunity that was previously unavailable. CM-1 and CM-2 were originally shut-in due to mechanical issues over time, rather than any reservoir-related concerns. The wells required only standard maintenance, and equipment upgrades to resume production. In late 2024, Monumental Energy entered into an agreement with NZEC to bring the wells back online, as NZEC shifted its focus to a gas storage business model. Under the terms of the agreement, Monumental Energy will receive a 25% royalty on all oil and gas production from the Copper Moki site, following full recovery of its 75% initial capital contribution. Oil produced in the Taranaki Basin typically receives a modest discount to Brent Crude (USD $77.39 as of June 20), while natural gas sells at a premium, with current prices ranging between USD $11.00 and $15.00 per MCF—significantly higher than North American market levels. Cumulative production data, measured in barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), will be released in the coming weeks. Max Sali, Vice President of Corporate Development and Director, commented: 'The Copper Moki wells have demonstrated exceptional reservoir performance, with cumulative production approaching one million barrels of oil to date. The successful recompletion of CM-2—including the perforation of three new intervals—is expected to significantly enhance output. We anticipate strong flush volumes and reservoir recharge, further validating the productivity of the Mt. Messenger formation. This positions us for meaningful near-term cash flow while supporting the long-term value proposition for our shareholders.' About Monumental Energy Corp. Monumental Energy Corp. is an exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of properties in the critical and clean energy sector, as well as investing in oil and gas projects. The Company owns securities of New Zealand Energy Corp. and entered into a call option and royalty agreement on the Copper Moki wells with New Zealand Energy Corp. The Company also has an option to acquire a 75% interest and title to the Laguna cesium-lithium brine project located in Chile. The Company holds a 2% net smelter return royalty on Summit Nanotech's share of any future lithium production from the Salar de Turi Project.

Banking on Inclusion: CI&T and Project Nemo Redefine Financial Access
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CI&T, an AI and tech acceleration partner, has today announced Nemo, Art of the Possible — a groundbreaking prototype of a financial app created in collaboration with Project Nemo, the not-for-profit grassroots initiative driving to improve disability inclusion in the fintech and financial services industries. Nemo was designed to support any adult with a learning disability in managing their finances more independently and safely. The prototype is a direct response to the Project Nemo report, S afe Spending for Adults with a Learning Disability, published earlier in June, developed by Firefish, sponsored by Nationwide and commissioned by Project Nemo, with support from Mencap and Dosh. The report exposed a stark reality: 38% of people with learning disabilities need ongoing help with everyday spending, and 32% do not have a bank account in their own name. It also highlighted how complex banking processes, inaccessible tools, and a lack of personalised support leave many financially excluded and at risk. CI&T's team engaged directly with individuals with lived experience — people with learning disabilities, carers, and accessibility experts — to design an app that addresses these challenges head-on. For the first time, this community has had a direct voice at the design table—an opportunity to share their needs and perspectives with the financial services industry. This marks a significant shift from the past, when individuals with learning disabilities had little choice but to accept what was offered. Now, their input provides valuable, practical insights that can help shape more inclusive and responsive banking services. In only six weeks, CI&T created Nemo, leveraging CI&T's enterprise-ready AI platform CI&T FLOW. Built with accessibility and ease of use as core principles, Nemo is a highly adaptive, inclusive digital product that empowers users to take control of their financial lives, while still allowing for trusted support where needed. While primarily designed for adults with learning disabilities, its advanced features and versatile configurability also significantly benefit neurodiverse individuals and anyone seeking greater confidence and support in managing their finances. Some of these features include: Supported decision-making: Users maintain complete control of their accounts; supporters can view and offer encouragement, but never act without explicit permission. Personalised onboarding: The app adapts to each user's confidence, habits, and accessibility needs. Calm mode: Reduces sensory overload and simplifies the interface during stressful moments. Emergency pot: A protected fund for unexpected needs, with optional spending locks and supporter assistance. Supporter Oversight: Trusted third parties receive real-time alerts and offer support while users remain in control. Learning over time: The app evolves with users, gradually unlocking more features as confidence grows. 'The path to true innovation is paved with diversity, accessibility, and inclusion," said Solange Sobral, EVP & Partner at CI&T. "This project truly reflects the Art of the Possible, and we hope it serves as a catalyst for financial institutions to lead the way in evolving digital products to be more inclusive. We're proud to partner with Project Nemo to build a solution that gives individuals with learning disabilities greater financial autonomy." "I'm incredibly thankful to the CI&T team for not only pulling this together so quickly, but also with such remarkable care, attention, and quality. This combination is rare and a true testament to a team and culture that performs exceptionally while engaging thoughtfully through the entire process. Seeing something so powerful created, something the community can now truly touch and interact with, is a profound way of giving voice to their needs." said Joanne Dewar, Founder of Project Nemo. Some of the individuals with firsthand experience who collaborated on the prototype's development included Kris Foster, Co-Founder of Project Nemo and George Webster, a BAFTA-winning actor and presenter known from CBeebies and Mencap. Webster is featured in the prototype and presents in-app video explanations, such as for Terms and Conditions, to make them easier to understand. The app is not only a practical tool, but also a statement of intent. It demonstrates how the financial sector can and should evolve to serve everyone, not just those who fit the standard mould. It also shows that inclusive innovation doesn't require compromise, only the will to involve those most affected from the start. The launch marks a milestone in the movement for financial accessibility, a practical, purpose-driven solution that turns research into action and empowers a community that has waited too long to be included. With this launch, CI&T and Project Nemo are driving toward a more equitable financial future where independence and inclusion are within reach for everyone. About CI&T CI&T is an AI and tech acceleration partner. We help businesses navigate the complex, changing technological European landscape to unlock real, measurable impact with digital-first solutions. CI&T brings a 30-year track record of helping clients deliver accelerated impact through tech-integrated business solutions, with deep expertise across AI, strategy, customer experience, software development, cloud services, data and more.
