Environmental Impact Assessment for Exploration Activities in ER383 in the Free State and Mpumalanga Provinces

Afro Energy Pty (Ltd) is proposing a staged exploration work programme that will be undertaken over 3-years under ER obligations, and possibly Renewal Periods, and largely follows this sequence:
Phase 1: Early Exploration for Gas
The proposed early phase exploration includes for:
• Undertaking an aeromagnetic survey.
• Drilling of standard stratigraphic exploration core boreholes at identified target sites;
• Logging of the core holes; and
• Sampling and analysis of extracted cores.

Phase 2: Advanced exploration for Coal Bed Methane (CBM)
If early exploration is positive then Afro Energy may proceed to an advanced exploration drilling phase,
comprising:
• Drilling of larger diameter boreholes for permeability testing to understand geotechnical data andgas quality; and
• Flow testing of gas and produced water for delivery and longevity quanta.
