# D3 Energy plans remedial work at Nooitgedacht after logging confirms gas-bearing zones Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/d3-energy-plans-remedial-work-at-nooitgedacht-after-logging-confirms-gas-bearing--060809d9-09cd-4eeb-b0a0-6369c44b9226 Original source: https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/1098253/d3-energy-plans-remedial-work-at-nooitgedacht-after-logging-confirms-gas-bearing-zones-1098253.html Publisher: proactiveinvestors Original announcement: 2026-09-09T04:16:01.496Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: D3 Energy Ltd - Ticker: D3E - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: South Africa - Primary commodity: Helium - Secondary commodities: Methane - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-09 04:17:52 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary D3 Energy has confirmed the presence of gas-bearing zones at its Nooitgedacht Project in South Africa following downhole logging. The company plans to undertake remedial cementing work to isolate deeper water-producing zones that are currently inhibiting gas flow. Reasoning: The confirmation of gas-bearing zones via logging is a positive geological signal, though technical issues with water inflow require remedial work. - Positive factor: logging confirmed gas-bearing zones - Positive factor: gas bubbling observed via downhole camera - Positive factor: issue identified as remedial/technical rather than geological absence - Negative factor: water inflows restricting gas flow - Negative factor: low reservoir pressure Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release mentions downhole camera logging and geophysical logging to confirm gas zones. Evidence · text > Latest technology downhole camera logging was able to identify the gas zones **Mill Route** Polarity: neutral Definition: Processing via mill or concentrator \(CIL, CIP, tank leach, flotation\). Why it applies: the document describes a mill\_cil route \("CIP"\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (4) ### NGT245 D [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/d3-energy-plans-remedial-work-at-nooitgedacht-after-logging-confirms-gas-bearing--060809d9-09cd-4eeb-b0a0-6369c44b9226#fact-drill-facts-0) Nooitgedacht · helium #### Identity - Hole ID: NGT245 D - Project: Nooitgedacht - Commodity: helium - Region: south\_africa - Reported Region: south\_africa - Ticker: D3E #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: No - Interp.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
