RNS Number : 8432B Wildcat Petroleum PLC 05 October 2022
WILDCAT PETROLEUM
AUTUMN CATFLAP
OCTOBER 2022

agreeing to work together to develop Sudanese oil reserves.
The last quarter has been another exciting and busy one for the Company.
Firstly, I would like to welcome to the Wildcat family Waterford/Mr Kroupeev
and their network of ultra high net worth natural resources investors(*). The
Sunday Times in London chose to write about us (on 2nd October), fully
appreciating the significance of the announcement.
This network routinely invests large sums into major petroleum projects. With
this sort of firepower in our corner, Wildcat will be in a good position to
access deals normally reserved for oil companies much larger than us, such as
Tullow oil & Harbour Energy.
Also, during the quarter Wildcat has, as previously noted, been busy scouting
opportunities and building relationships in prospective target markets. In
particular we have had productive talks with the oil minister of Sudan and
executives from the Sudanese state oil company SUDAPET (see picture above).
As a result of the progress made in these talks, Wildcat has opened an office
in Khartoum, which is being manned by Dr Omar. Sudan has billions of barrels
of oil (reserves/resources) which can be put into production and by working
with the Government Wildcat has an opportunity to become a partner in the
development of their oil industry. This represents an opportunity to become
a significant producing oil company. Dr Omar has been hard at work mapping out
some of the organisational requirements to enable us to move fast after any
potential deal is signed.
Also, during the quarter Wildcat has had extremely productive meetings with
senior members of the South Sudan oil industry. Dr Omar held talks with the
head of the State oil company (NILEPET) as well as with the Oil minister Dr
Hon Puot Kang Chol. We will be looking to open a manned representative office
in Juba in the not-too-distant future.
This week Cape Town is hosting the Africa Oil week conference. Once
delegates have returned to their desks next week WCAT will continue with the
process of sourcing a suitable African oil deal.
The company remains grateful to shareholders for their continued patience and
would like to assure them that with our new "network" of friends backing
Wildcat we are getting closer to executing a substantial deal in the
not-too-distant future.
(*) The deal with Waterford was agreed when the share price was 0.7p. By the
time the paperwork was done the price had increased to 1.4p.
