Block 11B/12B is located adjacent to the Algoa-Gamtoos licence, operated by 50% partner New Age Energy Algoa (Pty) Ltd ("New Age") and held 50% by Tower. The Algoa-Gamtoos license also contains the southern deepwater basin margin of the Outeniqua Basin that was targeted by Total's Brulpadda well and is approximately 150 kms along strike to the east from the Brulpadda discovery.
Importantly, the Brulpadda well has successfully tested the Lower Cretaceous turbidite fan play of the Outeniqua basin slope, which is interpreted to extend along strike into the southern part of the Algoa-Gamtoos block, in which the Operator, New Age, has identified on 2D seismic a substantial prospect.
