         as well as holding a number of gas sales agreements 
         with downstream customers. 
 
 
 
   The Company's activities in Niger centre around the delivery, 
   subject to suitable market and financing conditions, of first 
   production and cash flow from the planned R3 East Early Production 
   Scheme, as well as undertaking further exploration activities
