Niko-1 Funding
On 24 May 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated institutional investor to secure funding for the planned operations at Niko-1 well.
Pursuant to the agreement, The investor will provide up to $3 million investment, to be disbursed in two equal tranches by 1 September 2018 and by 15 October 2018, respectively, in order to fund the Niko-1 well work program to be commenced in November 2018.
In consideration for this financing, The investor will receive share in the production from the Niko-1 well in the following proportion: 60% of the well production from the completion of the work program until recovery of its investment, And 30% of the well production thereafter.
There must be terms involved in this deal. Also, The capital isn't released until 1st September 18 and 15th October 18, So this is why they didn't drill Niko-1 well straight after T-39 as someone had already questioned.
What the terms of the deal are though, We'll never know.
