African Petroleum Corporation Limited ("African
Petroleum" or the "Company"), an independent oil and
gas exploration company with interests in ten licences
in five countries offshore West Africa, is pleased to
announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI")
with an undisclosed International E&P company with
respect to Licences A1 and A4, offshore The Gambia.
The LOI represents a non-binding commercial proposal
regarding the possible acquisition of interests in
Licences A1 and A4 where African Petroleumholds 100%
operated working interest in both blocks.
The proposal set forth within the LOI is conditional
upon African Petroleum confirming the extension of the
exploration periods of both licences by at least 12
months by the Government of The Gambia, and is subject
to ongoing due diligence and commercial negotiations.
Further updates will be provided as appropriate.
Commenting on the agreement, CEO Jens Pacesaid: "We
are pleased to have formalised our discussions with
this potential partner through the signing of a non-
binding LOI. Whilst conversion of this LOI into any
commercial agreement is subject to a number of
conditions, including our ability to obtain an
extension to the exploration period of both blocks, we
are encouraged by the level of industry interest that
we continue to generate in our portfolio. Based on our
advanced discussions with the relevant authorities in
The Gambia, we remain confident that we will be able
to achieve a satisfactory outcome that enables us to
move forward with exploration activity of these
exciting assets."
