Zambia

Expanding our significant exploration portfolio

1

Overview

The Group has a 100% interest in three early stage exploration blocks in Zambia (blocks 25, 28 and 29). Applications for two further blocks are pending.

The three blocks lie in the extensive and under-explored Luangwa Rift Valley which last saw exploration activities in the 1980’s. The Luangwa valley comprises a major north-east to south-west trending rift basin and regional evidence suggests that the critical elements of a petroleum system are present. 

The initial four year exploration period includes a minimum committed work programme estimated at approximately $500,000.
