View PDF VersionThe further extension to the ESIA has been granted in light of the decision by the Western Cape High Court in South Africa ("High Court") to set aside an environmental authorization for offshore exploration operations in Block 5/6/7 (held by an unrelated party) so that additional, new and amended environmental assessments can be conducted and placed before the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources for reconsideration. An application for leave to appeal this decision to the Supreme Court of Appeal has been launched by the unrelated party. The Company has engaged with its advisors, including legal counsel, to determine the appropriate way forward with respect to its ESIA as a result of the High Court decision. The grant of the environmental authorization is a pre-requisite to the grant of the production right in relation to Block 11B/12B.Main Street currently holds a 10% participating interest in Block 11B/12B, offshore South Africa.

Africa Energy Announces 2025 Year End ResultsMarch 25, 2026 5:30 PM
PR Newswire (Canada)
VANCOUVER, BC, March 25, 2026 /CNW/ - Africa Energy Corp. (TSX Venture: AFE) (Nasdaq First North: AEC) ("Africa Energy" or the "Company"), an oil and gas exploration company, announces financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025. View PDF VersionRobert Nicolella, Africa Energy's CEO, commented, "We are feeling cautiously optimistic about the recent announcements made by key ministers in government regarding the importance of natural gas as a key transition fuel in the energy transition and the decision to proceed with determination of appeals against environmental authorizations. We believe this demonstrates the government's commitment to attract investment to the industry and advance the development of its domestic resources to ensure energy security, which has been emphasized by recent conflict in the middle east."On March 5, 2026, the Honorable Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Mr. Gwede Mantashe, highlighted the role natural gas must play in closing the energy deficit in South Africa and that natural gas will be the most effective transition fuel. Further Mr. Gwede Mantashe identified Africa Energy Corp.'s discovered resources in Block 11B/12B1, offshore South Africa, as a resource which the government of South Africa is seeking to accelerate development of.On March 11, 2026, the newly appointed Honorable Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Mr. Willie Aucamp, announced that his department is proceeding with determination of appeals lodged against environmental authorizations granted for offshore oil and gas projects. Following the previous decision of the Western Cape High Court in South Africa to set aside an environmental authorization for the offshore exploration operations in Block 5/6/7 (held by unrelated parties), the former Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment made a decision to defer appeals lodged with his department following the granting of environmental authorizations pending the outcome of court proceedings in respect of the Block 5/6/7 judgement.The Company took the prudent step of pausing its Environmental Authorization ("EA") application for Block 11B/12B, offshore South Africa, following the previous decision by the Western Cape High Court. This allowed the Company to fully assess the implications of the new legal and regulatory landscape and ensure its EA application and development plans were optimally aligned. Concurrently, the Company's technical team continues to advance technical work on various development scenarios.2025 HIGHLIGHTSOn February 28, 2025, Main Street 1549 Pty. Ltd. ("Main Street 1549"), appointed operator of Block 11B/12B in November of 2024, submitted a new Environmental Authorization ("EA") application with a revised project scope.On March 31, 2025, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement of common shares and a shares-for-debt transaction, which significantly improved the Company's financial position. These transactions allowed the Company to fully repay its debt, which consisted exclusively of obligations under the promissory note, and to provide it with an additional $2.9 million after debt repayment for general working capital purposes and to advance the development of the Company's interest in Block 11B/12B.On May 28, 2025, the Company signed definitive agreements with Arostyle Investments (RF) (Proprietary) Limited ("Arostyle") to restructure their joint investment in Main Street 1549 (Proprietary) Limited ("Main Street 1549"), which holds the participating interest in Block 11B/12B. The restructuring will result in the Company (through Main Street 1549) holding a 75% participating interest in Block 11B/12B with Arostyle holding the remaining 25%. The definitive agreements are subject to all relevant regulatory approvals being obtained and remain subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, including the regulatory transfer approval of the withdrawing parties interest in Block 11B/12B.Effective May 30, 2025, the Company completed a consolidation of the Company's shares on a 5:1 basis. After giving effect to the consolidation, the Company had 479,162,450 common shares issued and outstanding.At December 31, 2025, the Company had US$3.2 million in cash, US$3.0 million of working capital and no debt compared to US$2.3 million in cash, US$8.2 million of working capital deficiency and US$10.4 million promissory note debt obligations at the end of 2024. In addition, Main Street 1549 had US$1.6 million of cash at December 31, 2025._______________________1 Main Street 1549 currently holds a 10% participating interest in Block 11B/12B, offshore South Africa. The Company currently owns 49% of the common shares and 100% of the Class B shares of Main Street 1549.OUTLOOKThe Company is focused on obtaining environmental authorization for development of discovered resources in Block 11B/12B so that it can obtain the Production Right approval. Early engagements with relevant stakeholders on gas supply has commenced in an effort to secure offtake customers for future development.Subject to all relevant regulatory approvals by South African authorities with respect to the withdrawal of the joint venture partners in Block 11B/12B and completion of the restructuring of Main Street 1549, the Company expects to hold 75% direct interest in Block 11B/12B. Despite the challenges and delays encountered so far, the Company remains confident that the Block 11B/12B resources can be commercially developed. The Brulpadda and Luiperd discoveries are the largest discoveries of natural gas resources in South Africa and if developed could supply a significant portion of the country's energy needs required to achieve both sustainable economic growth and the transition to lower carbon energy sources.FINANCIAL INFORMATION(Audited; thousands, except per share amounts, US dollars)

(Audited; US dollars)Operating expenses decreased by $94.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The Company recorded a $97.4 million non-cash loss on revaluation of the financial asset during 2024 versus $1.0 million during 2025.

Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas
Eco has today announced its results for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2020, alongside a corporate and operational update.
Financially it is unfortunately very predictable, Eco has cash in the bank of $16.4m and no debt which makes it fully funded for its share of the two exploration wells in Guyana whenever they may come. Costs have been slashed by more than the industry norm, by over 50% in the 9 months to December so without doubt when the time comes Eco is extremely well placed to do well.
Operationally is where the waiting game is being played, ‘multiple light sweet oil drilling prospects on the Orinduik block are currently being reviewed by the Company and its licence partners’, with high-graded candidates being considered for the next drilling programme.
The intention is to provide further definition to the upper and lower Cretaceous interpretation and target selection for drilling. Whilst this is all very well, having made two discoveries on the block already it is high time they drilled again and but for the traumas that Tullow have got themselves into they would have done by now. I can’t add to previous comments about the licence partners except to say that they must have incredible patience with Tullow…
The good thing for Eco is that they, together with their strategic alliance partner Africa Oil Corp., continues to evaluate additional asset opportunities in both West Africa and South America. In Namibia where I have always rated their acreage particularly relative to their own size, they have successfully negotiated the reissuance of its four licenses in Namibia’s Walvis Basin for 10 years, which received final Government confirmation on 5 February 2021.
Another string to Eco’s bow is that they recently set up a JV to ‘source, acquire and develop an exclusive pipeline of potential high yield solar projects’ which is now called Solear Ltd. Eco agreed to provide a secured loan of up to $6 million to Solear, as a result of which the Company holds a 70% shareholding in Solear, with Nepcoe holding the remaining 30%. The Loan, which carries a 2% annual interest, is expected to be repayable from the proceeds of either a public or private financing, through operating cash flow, and/or a project monetization event.
In January 2021, Solear completed its first acquisition of a fully contracted, permitted, and build ready project in Greece, known as the Kozani Project. Solear is continuing to build its exclusive portfolio in Spain, Italy, and Greece and is targeting a further financing event in the form of a private finance and/or IPO later this year.
The key to this all is, apart from the obvious risk diversity is that it looks very much like this will be a vehicle to do a deal to enhance its value. Whether that will be an IPO of Solear or a standalone fund raise, either of which would likely make the value of the business look substantial and clearly please the market and revalue ECO.
Gil Holzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eco Atlantic, commented:
“We have made significant progress in recent months across a number of aspects of the business. We have demonstrated our commitment to our core business strategy of achieving near-term exploration success in Guyana and Namibia, through maturing and upgrading the drilling targets’ inventory in Guyana and the successful reissuance of our licences in Namibia, as well as adding a highly relevant and attractive asset to our portfolio through the formation of Solear Ltd., a majority held renewable energy company.
“Successfully renegotiating our four licences offshore Namibia, which we see as being an increasingly active exploration jurisdiction, was an important milestone for the Company and gives us a considerable footprint in country from which we will seek create significant shareholder value.
“In Guyana, we continue to work with our partners in the Orinduik block to finalise drilling selection, and look forward to recommencing drilling activity in the coming months. We remain very confident in Guyana’s prospectivity as a hydrocarbon basin and the upside potential it offers. The recent increase in oil prices makes our existing discoveries in Guyana and drilling prospects inventory ever more attractive.
“Our recent strategic investment into Solear Ltd. demonstrates our drive and determination to use our cash reserves wisely alongside high impact exploration drilling. We are very excited about both the near-term opportunities that Solear brings, as well as the long-term benefits that come with broadening our asset portfolio. Solear has a highly attractive pipeline of low cost, high yield solar PV projects, that have the potential to generate high IRR returns for our shareholders. As ever, we look forward to keeping the market updated on our progress over the coming months.”
Shareholders in Eco have had to be a patient bunch, in any other time the highly prospective Guyana acreage would have been drilled again and more than likely runs would be on the board. In addition the pace of activity in Namibia has been slow but that it countered by the reissuance of the licences and of course with near neighbours in super major category there must be chances with the drill bit or in the corporate world. Add the Solear beta and value will out somehow or other, Eco stays in the Bucket list for certain and patient shareholders will be substantially rewarded in due course.
