We are moving into an exciting phase of the Company’s development cycle - the coming year is one of great potential where we hope to further transform the Company by continuing to de-risk our portfolio and capitalise on our position in what we consider to be one of the last frontiers in oil exploration. Our work to date has continued to support our belief in the prospectivity of offshore Namibia and we look forward to proving this up further over the coming months.”
