Why Invest?

• Exciting Energy Potential - Serowe CBM Project; ~2.4tcf; existing grid network for renewables.
  • Exploration programme completed of 5 wells independently certified gross estimated resource increased to 317bcf and prospective resource to ~8.008tcf.
  • Proposed 100MW solar power station, environmental approvals progressing; gas provides stability; 1,550hct land.
