Our successful AIM listing in October was a great achievement for the Company and we look forward to enhanced liquidity and increased exposure to institutional and retail investors. Wentworth is in a sound financial position, expenses are down and revenues up, and most importantly we are fully funded for the agreed 12 month work programmes with our partners. Now that exploration work programmes have been approved for both Mnazi Bay and the Rovuma Basin our partnership groups are preparing to embark on an extensive drilling programme over the next two years. The recent exploration successes in East Africa have only further proven what we believe: that our assets are in an exceptional area."
