Red Emperor Resources NL is a natural resources exploration company with interests in the frontier state of Puntland, Somalia, the Republic of Georgia and Western Australia.
* In Puntland, Red Emperor holds a 20% working interest in two licences encompassing the highly prospective Dharoor and Nugaal valleys. These two exploration areas cover nearly 40,000km2 and have independently been assessed to potentially contain a combined 19.9 billion barrels of oil in-place. Red Emperor's joint venture partner and PSA operator Africa Oil Corp. has signed a letter of intent with a drilling subcontractor and expects the first well to be drilled in Dharoor in Q3, 2011. * In the Republic of Georgia, Red Emperor has a 20% working interest in onshore blocks VIa and VIb, covering approx. 6,500km2. Joint Venture partner Range Resources Limited last year funded a 410km 2D seismic program with independent consultants RPS Energy identifying 68 potential structures containing an estimated 2.045 billion barrels of oil-in-place (on a mean 100% basis). Two wells are to be drilled this year as part of the proposed drill program. * The Company also has a 25% interest in the Jillewarra Project, a copper and gold project in Western Australia. This interest is free carried through until bankable feasibility study.
