“I will be speaking at the conference on my way back from Kenya where our delegation spent much of the past week meeting with local community and government leaders, a fundamental step in the commencement of an exploration work program,” said Mr. Ntephe. “We were enthusiastically received by our host communities, had meaningful dialogue at several levels and expect that these relationships will be valuable for potential farm-in partners.”

The parties continue to negotiate the definitive terms for a farm-out. Any agreement reached will be subject to the approvals of the respective boards and of the Government of Kenya.
