Borders holds 100% in various licences to the southeast of the Falkland Islands.
This includes the Darwin East gas condensate discovery (170mmbbl of 2C liquids), the next
door and analogous Darwin West prospect (292mmbbl of P50 prospective liquids resources),
and exploration acreage containing 22 additional prospects across three different plays with
P50 prospective liquids resources of 8.4bn bbl. There is a fast-track development concept for
Darwin East providing line of sight to potential production which, combined with the
significant exploration potential, makes Borders' position attractive to a wide variety of
potential partners. The company is progressing a farm out process, with interest reported
from multiple parties and important support provided by the Sea Lion project, also in the
Falklands, which in late 2025 took Phase 1 FID (on an initial 170mmbbl project, from
727mmbbl of total development 2C resources). On a Borders farm out, we could then see
new licence activity (most likely to be drilling) within 12-18 months. The company held cash
of US$2.6m at the end of 2025, providing forward funding.
So, Borders has a strong, material asset position, upcoming news flow over the coming
months, and cash available to cover ongoing overheads. We have a positive outlook for the
shares, and value them at 22.3p in-line with our total risked NAV.
