"In view of the potential near-term progress the Company may achieve in respect of its publicly announced objectives in Africa, we have sought to minimise any form of equity issuance and finance our activities via other instruments.

I look forward to updating the market in due course at this very exciting juncture in our development against a backdrop of a significantly improving oil price environment."
