IN BRIEF: Petro Matad narrows loss in 2021; China slowly opens border

Mon, 27th Jun 2022 12:33

Petro Matad Ltd - Douglas, Isle of Man-based petroleum exploration company focused on Mongolia - Narrows pretax loss in 2021. Pretax loss shrinks to USD2.1 million from USD3.2 million in 2020. Exploration and evaluation expenditure narrows to USD114,000 in 2021 from USD433,000.

"2021 was a pivotal year for Petro Matad as we obtained the exploitation licence for Block XX, which will see the company transition from explorer to active producer," comments Chief Executive Officer Mike Buck.

"With the exploitation licence secured, a successful equity fundraise totalling USD10.4 million was completed by early August which allowed the company to commence contract negotiations with infrastructure service providers and procurement of equipment for the Heron development that targets first oil from the completion of the Heron 1 well in 2022," the company explains.

Says Covid-19 control restrictions imposed by China regarding the land border between Mongolia and China are starting to ease, after exports to China and drilling in Mongolia were suspended on May 5. "On June 20, the northerly of the two oil export border crossings at Bayankhoshuu was opened and oil export from the PetroChina operated fields has resumed," it adds.

Firm proposes no dividend, unchanged from a year ago.

Current stock price: 2.58 pence, down 9.5% on Monday

12-month change: down 61%
