QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 30 SEPTEMBER 2014
Issued Capital: 266M ASX Code: RMP Closing price: A$0.047
AIM Code: RMP Closing Price: £0.024
The Board of Red Emperor Resources NL (Red Emperor or the Company) is pleased to provide the following commentary and Appendix 5B for the period ending 30 September
2014.
Puntland
During the reporting period, the Federal Government hardened its position with regards to the requirement of contracts to flow through the Federal Ministry of Energy, as evidenced by the statement of the Federal Minister at the Somalia Oil & Gas Conference in late October. That said, a three-day visit by the Federal Prime Minister to Garowe was a welcome and positive indication of the potential for the State government to work with Mogadishu and a joint statement was released to that effect. As a result, the overall situation remains unclear and whilst the JV is determined to continue exploration activity, it must seek to clarify outstanding matters of control before doing so.
Georgia
During the quarter, the shareholders of Strait Oil and Gas ("Strait") continued to pursue discussions and negotiations with respect to a potential disposal of its interests in the Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) in Georgia. Subsequent to the quarter end, Strait made the decision to terminate negotiations with one interested party, however the JV remains committed to pursuing a transaction at some level and continues discussions with market participants.
At the same time, Red Emperor is currently conducting a detailed review of the geological
merits of the proposed obligation well in Block VIb, which is required to be drilled before March 2015. Whilst Red Emperor is to be free carried for this well, options to potentially fund the well in return for a larger equity share of Strait are being discussed.
Corporate
Red Emperor continues to review new opportunities as it has done throughout the year in accordance with its outlined strategic philosophy. With a restructured Board and strong cash position, the Company believes it is extremely well placed to take advantage of a slightly depressed global oil & gas market.
