I think they were always going to stick at this until they could drill so well done Jeremy . For once a Tower RNS makes pleasant reading, thank you.
'We have now received a proposal for financing of NJOM-3 via a farm-out of a minority position, from a substantial upstream company with existing production. We are in discussions with this party about the details of their proposal, however we can say that, provided discussions conclude positively, this proposal should provide sufficient funds to drill the NJOM-3 well - we had received a draft proposal from another party last year, but only for a portion of the funds required. While there are multiple other parties who have expressed interest in partnering with us, there are two other parties in particular who have undertaken substantial due diligence on the project over the past few months, and we are also expecting a proposal from at least one of these companies. Our intention is to conclude a transaction as soon as possible.
We also have two parallel sets of bank discussions underway with multiple banks, one for longer term development financing of the next three wells we have planned for the Njonji structure; and one for short term development, which would supplement a farm-out to finance putting NJOM-3 into production earlier, while still working on the next three wells. We are keeping an open mind on these options, and discussing them in detail with both our banks and prospective farm-out partners. We expect to reach a conclusion on this short-term production option and bank financing in the coming months, before drilling the well.
We will update investors as soon as we have concluded definitive agreements, but until then we will not be discussing the details of the proposals that we have received, or may receive, as these are confidential to the parties. While we are now very confident of achieving a positive funding result, there can be no guarantees until we have signed definitive agreements'.
