RE: Speculation re Congo18 Jul 2020 18:38
Ageos - thank you for your interesting and informative post, albeit speculative.
I have reproduced below the AC statement from the recent RNS:
Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"As is known by shareholders, the Company's senior management is currently in the Republic of the Congo conducting negotiations with the relevant authorities for the attribution of a new 25-year licence in relation to the highly prospective Tilapia asset.
Our presence in the cities of Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo, has facilitated access to a number of compelling domestic opportunities, which have become even more commercially attractive in view of the recent decline in oil prices.
The Potential Acquisition has two key qualities that render it highly compatible for our portfolio: near-term profitable production potential and significant development potential to progressively maximise production on account of the potentially highly significant oil reserves in place which will require independent evaluation under Canadian National Instrument 51-101.
I look forward to further updating shareholders in due course on our exciting progress in the Republic of the Congo."
