Tangiers Petroleum (London) (TPET LN) 16p Sharpening its Focus - Tangiers Petroleum Ltd. is an oil and gas exploration company. The Company's operations include an offshore block in Morocco and southwest Queensland, Australia. Tangiers’ farmout update (22nd May 2013) brings to a close the discussions on its Australian acreage, and will now allow the Company to focus on its Moroccan acreage, which given its prospectivity we believe is a better opportunity when considering where to invest. Following this news, while we believe that the Company will need further funding in the medium term, it is in a much better position than it was prior to the completion of this deal, and as such, we believe that its outlook remains bright. As a consequence, we are adding Tangiers to our watch list. In this news: Farm-Out Agreement covers the permits WA-442-P and NT/P81 Southern Bonaparte Basin (250km south-west of Darwin) CWH will fund all costs and expenses associated with seismic work, drill planning and exploration drilling within the permit areas Cap of A$35 million Once spent Tangiers will be required to pay 27% of the on-going costs Post transaction the interest in the licences is as follows: Tangiers 27% Ansbachall 3% CWH 70%
