  • Panoro has signed a Farm Out Agreement with Africa Energy Corp. ("AEC"), part of the Lundin Group of Companies, for a 12.5% interest in Block 2B located in the Orange Basin, offshore the west coast of South Africa.
  • The exploration block is an exciting rift basin oil play, with an existing oil discovery and near-term plans to drill a well to prove up material additional resources.
  • The Gazania-1 well is targeting best estimate gross prospective resources of 349 million barrels of oil*
  • Panoro will carry AEC subsidiary for up to \$2.5 million of their share of drilling costs.
  • The well is expected to be spud as early as Q4 2020 depending on regulatory approvals and rig availability.
  • Separately, AEC has announced a farm-out whereby Azinam Limited will take a 50% share and operatorship of Block 2B.
  • Completion of transaction is subject to consent of Minister of Minerals and Energy of South Africa and Azinam farm-out becoming effective; approval process is anticipated to take approximately 6 months.
