Project Description

For the past decade, Sub Sahara Africa has been the focus of global exploration activity as it offers huge yet-to-be-found resources and it is believed some of the most prospective frontier basins in the world are in this continent, as exemplified by the recent large discoveries in Mozambique, Uganda and Tanzania.

Delonex Energy Limited (“Delonex” or the “Company”) seeks to build a portfolio of East and Central African assets with proven, undeveloped reserves and contingent and prospective resources which it will bring to the development stage. The Company will target exploration-led opportunities in known petroleum systems, focusing mainly on two to three onshore/shallow water basins with common attributes and scalable to a material size. The portfolio will be built up through acquisitions, farm-ins and direct awards from host governments.

The management team of Delonex is well advanced into pre-screening their first investments. Material equity stakes and operatorship will be targeted and partnerships will be built to access markets and mitigate risks. The Project will also seek to set a team on the ground, based in Kenya, in order to establish local presence, identify contractors, local content partners and create relationships with all stakeholders.
