Tower Resources PLC (AIM:TRP) has finalised the documentation relating to its farm-out to Beluga Energy Limited of a 49% non-operating working interest in the Thali Production Sharing Contract.
The package of documents is being submitted to the Minister of Mines, Industry and Technological Development (MINMIDT) today as per the Cameroon Petroleum Code.
Completion of the farm-out is still subject to two conditions precedent: the financing contingency requiring Beluga's shareholders' approval, and the MINMIDT approval.
"We cannot be sure how long the MINMIDT approval may take as it can be as long as 60 days, but we hope it will come much sooner, allowing us to complete the farmout sooner,” said Tower Resources chief executive Jeremy Asher.
“But in the meantime we are moving forward with contract discussions regarding the rig and services, subject to the MINMIDT approval and conclusion of the farmout in due course."
