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 are not formally seeking to farm out our license interest in Namibia, as we consider it somewhat premature given the current stage of work. However, we have received unsolicited interest in the license and are sharing data with parties who wish to discuss it with us even at this early stage.
In South Africa, as we noted in our Annual Report dated 31 May 2024, the Company and the operator, New Age Energy Algoa (Pty) Ltd ("NewAge"), have been in discussions for some time now with a potential partner for our Algoa Gamtoos license. The farm-out process, which has been underway for some time, has been seeking financing at least for the current phase of 3D seismic data acquisition over our 1.4 billion barrel deep-water slope and floor fan leads, and some repayment of back costs. This has now reached the stage where draft documents are being prepared.
