"I am thrilled to announce to our shareholders that we have successfully made our final debt payment, marking a significant milestone as the Company is now completely debt-free. With regular monthly income from our two producing assets - gas in Italy and electricity sold from our gas production into our power plant in southern Spain, the Company has established a sound footing for the growth and development of its activities.
"The Company and its highly experienced new business team are actively reviewing a number of potentially interesting investment opportunities with a focus on diversified European energy projects prioritising natural gas and power and renewable energy projects. We will continue to seek others, employing rigorous project analysis.
"Surplus funds generated from our assets are being accumulated in the Company's investment and joint venture vehicles to provide funding for future projects, in particular the three wells planned in Italy and the five wells going through the permitting process in Spain."
