AAA DRILLING ENTERS INTO JOINT VENTURE EXTENSION OF MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ENDEAVOR ENERGY UNAUDITED RESULTS FY 2014
AAA Drilling Enters into Joint Venture
Intra Energy Corporation Limited (ASX:IEC) is pleased to announce that it has agreed in principle terms to enter into a joint venture with an Australian company, a leading provider of drilling supplies and consulting services to the oil and gas industry. The Australian drilling supplies company will acquire a 50% interest in AAA Drilling Limited (AAA Drilling), a wholly owned Mauritian subsidiary of IEC.
The Mauritian subsidiary has a 100% interest in AAA Drilling (Tanzania) Limited, an operating drilling company in Tanzania. The Australian drilling supplies company is seeking to expand AAA Drilling’s operations in Eastern Africa. The company has extensive operating experience in Southern Africa and will apply its capabilities to offer the equipment of AAA to new contracts in the region after satisfying the exploration and development program of IEC.
The acquisition price is A$700k for the 50% interest in the company, to be paid in three cash instalments, A$400k on 31 August 2014, A$150k on 30 November 2014 and A$150k on 31 March 2015. The acquisition is a minor discount to net asset value of the company.
The Australian drilling supplies company will provide A$150k working capital to the incorporated joint venture and provide significant technical and operational capabilities to AAA Drilling. Both joint venture partners will have equal representation on the board and appoint a Joint Operating Officer to the company. The transaction is subject to completion of legal documentation.
– Endeavor Energy Extension of the Memorandum of Understanding
IEC is pleased to announce that its Memorandum of Understanding with Endeavor (announced on 23 April 2014) has been extended for a further month at the request of Endeavor Energy for both parties to finalise negotiations for a Joint Development Agreement for the development of the 120MW Pamodzi coal fired power station in Malawi. This is after positive meetings with the newly elected Government of Malawi which has affirmed the importance of the project to the Malawian economy and the advantages for coal supply from IEC’s Tancoal and Malcoal mines.
