Tanzania meets this very rare criterion as it sits atop an active ‘spreading centre’, which results from a deep mantle plume.” (Oxford University - Professor Chris Ballentine & Dr Peter Barry, 2016) 15
PROJECTS — RUKWA RUKWA LEADS MAP WITH MAJOR (>2.0 BCF) RESOURCES ANNOTATED Work completed to date: • Soil gas geochemistry survey – 1,486 sampling locations (2016) Widespread helium micro‐seepage, characteristic of subsurface trapped accumulations • 14,660 line km airborne gravity and magnetic survey (2017) Processing and interpretation in progress • >1,000 line km of historic 2D seismic Allowed detailed sub-surface mapping • 2 x historic drill-holes (Amoco, 1986) Reservoir and sealing formations identified • Proposed 2017 exploration activities will further de-risk targets prior to drilling 16
