25/2/2015 15:32 | warbaby43, thanks for laying that out, 37% and not 52%, (edit) if we do not drill the 4 exploration Ruvuma wells by end of 2016. so for the cost one appraisal well, if successful in proving up the Ntorya discovery, then we could have a serious gas development on our hands with many times of added value from where we are now. got to be worth a punt hasn't it. " On completion of the appraisal work, the partners may apply for a development licence, subject to the discovery being considered to be commercially viable" | blackgold00 | |
25/2/2015 14:06 | With regard to Ruvuma Licence obligations, these were set out in the Prospectus (to which Elite kindly provided a link @ 50897)with a summary on P19 at 1.7 and in more detail, including the Kiliwani penalties at p48 7.1.2. The presently most relevant bits of this say: "The second extension period commenced in December 2013 and will end in December 2016. Under the terms of the PSA, the work programme for the second extension period requires the partners to carry out additional geological and geophysical studies as deemed necessary and for two exploration wells to be drilled (one in each concession area). The minimum expenditure required is US$4.5 million in each concession area. As the partners plan an extensive 2D seismic survey over both concession areas, including seismic over the potential appraisal area incorporating the Ntorya and Ntorya up-dip prospects, the Tanzanian authorities have agreed that Aminex and its partners may amend the work programme so that the two wells required under the first extension period are transferred to the second extension period, thereby requiring four wells to be drilled in the final period. In return Aminex has agreed to provide security over the Kiliwani North Development Licence to guarantee the amended well drilling obligations for the second extension period. For each well drilled on the Ruvuma PSA, TPDC’s security interest over the Kiliwani North Development Licence will be reduced by 3 per cent. for the first well and 4 per cent thereafter. ............ Under the terms of the Ruvuma PSA, after the grant of a development plan, TPDC may elect to contribute a participating interest of 15 per cent. of costs, excluding exploration costs in order to obtain a participating interest of 15 per cent. in production and revenues............ Following the successful testing of Ntorya-1, an application for a two year appraisal licence was submitted to the Tanzanian government and a programme of seismic acquisition was formulated to delineate the Ntorya find, as well as to infill seismic across previously defined lines. On 20 June 2013, the Tanzanian authorities signed a declaration for Ntorya as a ‘‘locati subsequently gazetted. The location comprises nine graticular blocks in the Mtwara licence block of the Ruvuma PSA and includes the Ntorya discovery and the Ntorya Up-dip prospect. The location is subject to a two-year work programme requiring additional seismic and the drilling of one appraisal well, conditional on the new seismic. On completion of the appraisal work, the partners may apply for a development licence, subject to the discovery being considered to be commercially viable" The present relevance of the Kiliwani putative penalties might be that any lender is likely to take the cautious view with a GSA income assessment based on a 37% and not a 52% share. | warbaby43 | |
25/2/2015 13:42 | I wouldn't rule out another open offer and placing once KN-1 is producing revenue. Putting my optimistic hat on a signed GSA would see a lift in sp, debt would ideally be serviceable from revenue and assuming they want (need) to crack on with their capex then that seems a sensible route to fund-raising. Either that or a communal sofa rummage. | jacks13 | |
25/2/2015 12:45 | I don't know yet, Dan | blackgold00 | |
25/2/2015 12:43 | AND WHERE WILL THEY GET THE $5M OF AMINEXS COSTS TO DRILL THE WELL? | dan_the_epic | |
25/2/2015 12:34 | i think we would have heard of a farm in partner by now if there was one out there. from Eliwallach at lse.. so who will be in for the ride, high risk high returns Eliwallach Neil ritsonToday 11:15I "had a mail off Neil today when I asked him about farm in partners. He said the market is very fickle and Aex and solo are in a good position to press ahead with appraisal drilling. He said the door remains open but solo and Aminex would be happy to go it alone! This is good in my opinion. May take longer but would be a damn site more lucrative! I think horse hill will provide solo with revenue soon which they will use to enhance Ntorya which Neil describes as the 'jewel in the crown' | blackgold00 | |
25/2/2015 11:49 | End of June for the appraisal | greyingsurfer | |
25/2/2015 11:19 | greyingsurfer, "No, the appraisal well is a licence condition." and it hasn't been secured from the KN assets, unlike the 4 exploration wells of the Ruvuma PSA that have to be drilled by end of 2016. | blackgold00 | |
25/2/2015 10:23 | greying surfer.....what is the deadline on the appraisal well? | thecynical1 | |
25/2/2015 09:12 | BG, Is then the Ntorya appraisal well also not a (licence obligation) under the terms of the (NTORYA APPRAISAL LICENCE)? No, the appraisal well is a licence condition. Peter | greyingsurfer | |

25/2/2015 08:33 | "We are pleased that the administrative formalities continue to be progressed effectively;" Wonder if Ritson sees the signing of the GSA in similar terms? - "Relax folks" I was about to ask if anyone can see a cloud attached to today's silver lining. edgar I think you anticipated the question in 51661. | lfdkmp | |
25/2/2015 08:25 | Deleting double post | edgar222 | |
25/2/2015 08:25 | With thanks to Watchouse on the LSE In the Aminex USA disposal documents on 6 August 2014 these 2 paragraphs below caught my attention about how much we owed at that time. 31 July 2015 is only 5 months away. It's going to be very tight! "On 17 January 2013, the Group announced that it had agreed a US$8 million loan facility with a fund managed by Argo Capital Management (Cyprus) Limited. There is currently debt outstanding of approximately US$9.9 million under the Argo Loan which expires on 31 July 2015. The Company’s current intention is to use the proceeds of the sale of gas from Kiliwani North and the deferred consideration under the Disposal Agreement to repay a portion of the Argo Loan. Notwithstanding such cash flow, the Company currently anticipates that it will not have sufficient cash resources to repay the Argo Facility in full prior to 31 July 2015 and consequently would have a working capital shortfall of approximately US$6.2 million in July 2015." "If the farming out of interests in the Ruvuma PSA and/or the disposal of the Company’s Moldovan assets and/or disposal of interest in the Kiliwani North Development Licence and/or and the farm-out of Nyuni Area PSA could not be effected and/or if technical or administrative overheads meant the Company was unable to carry out its strategy and/or if new equity or other financing could not be raised in the requisite time scales and/or if a merger partner was not identified, there is no guarantee that Argo would not seek repayment of the debt and/or enforce security on or shortly after expiry of the Argo Loan on 31 July 2015, which may result in certain companies in the Group, or the Company itself, being placed in some form of insolvency proceedings (such as administration or receivership) immediately after 31 July 2015 and, in such circumstances, no assurance can be given to Shareholders as to the level of distribution that would be made to them (if any)." Which means, if the figures above remain accurate, that the $7m from Solo will more than cover the capital shortfall anticipated in July 2015. | edgar222 | |
25/2/2015 07:41 | Neil Ritson today's RNS Summary , hopefully we can get a break .We are pleased that the administrative formalities continue to be progressed effectively; since the physical sale of gas from Kiliwani North into the Songo Songo plant and then into the pipeline to Dar es Salaam gets ever closer. We look forward to further news and our first revenue from Tanzania in the coming months." | pyjamaboy | |
25/2/2015 07:22 | To answer my own question, the transaction has been completed. Annoying you have to look at Solo's RNS to find that Solo is pleased to confirm that formal approval has been received from the Tanzanian Authorities for the Company to acquire up to a 13% interest in Kiliwani North Development Licence ("KNDL") from Aminex plc. There now remains no further conditions precedent to the previously announced acquisition of a 6.5% interest in the KNDL for US$3.5 million and the transaction has been completed. Solo also retains the right to purchase an additional 6.5% in the KNDL on the same terms up to 30 days after the signing of the Gas Sales Agreement. Neil Ritson, Solo's Chairman, commented: "We are pleased that the administrative formalities continue to be progressed effectively; since the physical sale of gas from Kiliwani North into the Songo Songo plant and then into the pipeline to Dar es Salaam gets ever closer. We look forward to further news and our first revenue from Tanzania in the coming months." As previously announced Solo will now become a party to the KNDL Joint Operating Agreement and a named party to the Gas Sales Agreement, which is still expected to be signed shortly. | edgar222 | |
24/2/2015 22:34 | Are you saying that the deadline for appraisal well is 20 june? I will have a one hell of a birthday if they lose the licence. | slepy | |
24/2/2015 21:39 | greyingsurfer, "The seismic programme, which is not a licence obligation" Is then the Ntorya appraisal well also not a (licence obligation) under the terms of the (NTORYA APPRAISAL LICENCE)? it does'nt state it specifically in the RNS and i wonder where it stands with the Ruvuma PSA obligations and the 4 exploration wells having to be drilled by the end of 2016. "The appraisal programme will comprise a further seismic survey to delineate the extent of the Ntorya discovery and drilling of an appraisal well" what does the 2014 prospectus state. thanks greyingsurfer | blackgold00 | |
24/2/2015 20:54 | Hi WB Depends, I guess, blackgold00, on whether or not the Tanzanians want to play hardball. If they do then they might just want to point out that 181km out of the 405km deemed by Aminex to be required for Ntorya is hardly completing the seismic survey. I'd suspect that while more seismic will be needed for full appraisal of Ntorya that what they have is sufficient to locate a first appraisal well effectively. Remember also that: The seismic programme, which is not a licence obligation, will assist in identifying drilling locations required under the work programme. (from the 2014 prospectus, p 5) Clearly, you are right that having been in a position to do more seismic by now, would probably provide some additional confidence in any extension negotiations, but I doubt it would be a big factor. Peter | greyingsurfer | |
24/2/2015 20:35 | Political kudos possibly, LFDKMP In the current climate, no brownie points are earned from being obliging to western oil companies. Hopefully, though, Aminex will be able to persuade them that that the current arrangement will get them more gas more speedily reflecting glory on the minister and the CCM. | warbaby43 | |
24/2/2015 20:14 | "Depends, I guess, blackgold00, on whether or not the Tanzanians want to play hardball." Can't disagree with that. What I can question is why they would want to do so. | lfdkmp | |
24/2/2015 17:03 | We just need a break for the gates to open . | pyjamaboy | |
24/2/2015 16:31 | "that Aminex has already completed the (seismic survey) part of the appraisal program must go some way to satisfy the Tanzanian authorities that an extension of the 2 year appraisal licence should be granted." Depends, I guess, blackgold00, on whether or not the Tanzanians want to play hardball. If they do then they might just want to point out that 181km out of the 405km deemed by Aminex to be required for Ntorya is hardly completing the seismic survey. | warbaby43 |
