Aminex plc provided the following update on the Company's drilling activity in the Ruvuma Basin, Tanzania, where the Ntorya-2 appraisal well was spudded on 21 December 2016, with a planned total depth of 2,860 metres. On 5 January the 17' hole section was cased and cemented to a depth of 1,326 metres. Drilling recommenced on 7 January in the 12' section which will be cased and cemented at 2,095 metres. Following this an 8 1/2' section is planned through the target Cretaceous formation to an estimated total depth of 2,860 metres. A 7' cemented liner is then expected to be set and a detailed analysis of the well data conducted prior to potential testing. This vertical well is targeting the same sandstone channel complex as the Ntorya-1 discovery which flow tested gas at 20 mmcf/d, with 139 barrels of associated condensate, from a 3.5-metre sand interval.
