NEWPORT RECEIVES AUD$753,663 (GROSS)/AUD$527,566 (NET) QUARTERLY ROYALTY PAYMENT

Newport Exploration Ltd announced receipt of its quarterly royalty payment from Beach Energy Ltd, totaling AUD$753,663 gross revenue for the February to April 2025 period. After taxes, Newport received AUD$527,566 from its 2.5% Gross Overriding Royalty position with Beach Energy, an Australian oil and gas producer.

This quarterly payment demonstrates the value of Newport's royalty strategy, providing consistent cash flow without operational responsibilities or capital expenditure requirements. The substantial payment size suggests robust production levels from the underlying assets, reflecting healthy energy commodity markets and efficient field operations by Beach Energy.

For Newport shareholders, this royalty income represents a key value driver in the company's portfolio approach to resource investments. The predictable cash flow stream from established production assets provides financial stability while allowing Newport to potentially reinvest in exploration opportunities or return capital to shareholders. The timing and consistency of these payments will be closely watched as indicators of both Beach Energy's operational performance and broader energy market conditions.

The royalty model continues to gain favor among resource investors seeking exposure to commodity production without the operational risks and capital intensity of direct asset ownership. Newport's success in generating meaningful quarterly returns from its royalty positions may serve as a template for other junior resource companies seeking to diversify their revenue streams beyond traditional exploration and development activities.
