Gas Production Well and Core-hole Drilling

 

 

The Company is pleased to announce that work has begun on the next phase of
drilling at Tlou's Lesedi Gas-to-Power project. Operations have commenced on a
core-hole and will be followed by drilling of the next gas production well.

Core-hole drilling

The objective of the core-hole is to provide additional geological control in
the vicinity of the planned Lesedi 6 gas production pod. The core-hole,
designated C8-1X, is at a depth of approximately 200m with a proposed total
depth of ~550m.

 

Production Pod drilling

The anticipated spud for the Lesedi 6 gas production pod is later this month.
The pod consists of three wells in total, one vertical production well and two
intersecting lateral wells. Lesedi 6 is located approximately 500m west of the
existing Lesedi 4 production pod.

 

Lesedi 6 is the first well of a planned drilling program to expand gas
production at the Lesedi project. Gas flows from Lesedi 6 are planned to be
converted to electricity for the existing 10MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
with Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) once the transmission line, substations
and associated electrical infrastructure are in place.

 

Transmission line and substations

The Transmission line for grid connection from the Lesedi project to BPC's
Serowe substation is steadily progressing and is approximately 60% complete
with anticipated completion towards the middle of the year. Stringing of the
power poles has already commenced and work is continuing in relation to the
substations at either end of the transmission line.

 

By Authority of the Board of Directors
