AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.060 per share: Flow rate at the top end of expectations at important appraisal well - The Anshof-3 well flowed ~75 bbl/d of light oil (and no water) on test from the Eocene reservoir. This has positive implications for production, reserves and the upside case. The flow rate was at the upper end of expectations (40-80 bbl/d). The well has not been acidized yet which could boost production rate b

Importantly the C7 sand (the primary target) was encountered 10’ higher than expected and 25’ higher than in the RCE-1 well. Overall 30’ of pay was encountered in the C7 sand. This suggests larger volumes than expected. The well als

VAALCO Energy (EGY LN/US)C; Target price of £8.00 per share: Encouraging development well results - The Avouma 3H-ST development well encountered 268 metres of high-quality Gamba sands at the top of the structure with 28% porosity and one Darcy of permeability. This confirms the extension of the Avouma reservoir and is forecasted to increase the overall recovery from the field, potentially allowing for additional wells at Avouma. This could allow the firm to convert some 2P reserves into 1P rese

AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ PetroTal (PTAL LN/TAL CN)C: Target price increased from £0.55to £0.70 per share: Very material reserves increase – YE21 1P, 2P and 3P reserves were ~37 mmbbl, 78 mmbbl and147 mmbbl respectively. This represents increases of 68%, 53% and 39% respectively, compared to YE20. The uplift reflects (1) an increase of the original oil in place (1P: +5%, 2P: +7%, 3P: +7%) and (2) an increase in the recovery factors of 18% (from 11%), 22% (from

Exceptional transformation… and it may be just a beginning

With several opportunistic but timely acquisitions in 2021, coupled with the recent surge in the oil price, Zenith Energy has, in our view, completely transformed itself and its value proposition to investors. While for various reasons it has not been easy for the market to fully recognise and reward this transformation, we expect 1) doubling production, 2) further strengthening of its balance sheet and 3) becoming Free Cash Flow (FCF) generative this year, will make it difficult for the market

Trinity has announced the commencement of its highly anticipated onshore drilling campaign. The Company's fully funded, six well drilling programme will target an aggregate 450-1,100mmbbls of reserves at a cost of US$14-17m. In addition to drilling four “conventional” low angle wells, Trinity will also drill one horizontal well and one deeper appraisal well, with both the horizontal and deeper appraisal wells having the potential to deliver substantially higher production and economic returns ve

Cenkos: Wentworth Resources Plc -- 7.1% Yield and Growth

Wentworth has announced a positive operational update ahead of its AGM to be held later today. Daily production year-to-date (YTD) has averaged 92.2MMscf/d, a c15% YoY increase (2021: 79.9MMscf/d) and ahead of Wentworth's 2022 guidance of 75-85MMscf/d. As noted previously, the strong performance of the Mnazi Bay asset YTD has allowed Wentworth to increase its total dividend distribution in respect of 2021 to 1.7p per share, a yield of c7.1%.

Vanchem Kiln 3 up and running as path mapped to longer-term consolidated target of 8,000t V pa

Completion of commissioning of Kiln 3 at Vanchem last month keeps Bushveld on track to end 2022 with a sustainable production run rate of 5,000-5,400t V pa, a solid platform from which to refocus on longer-term growth. Fully utilising the vast array of processing infrastructure at Vanchem to treat feed from an expanded mining and ore concentration operation at Vametco makes a lot of sense given the fixed component of costs at the former and the large mineral resource at the latter.

SolGold: Model update following PFS filing; de-risking continues with optimisations expected by year end

We have updated our valuation for SolGold (“SOLG”) following the filing of the Cascabel PFS technical report. The changes result in a US$3.6bn NPV8% and 22% IRR (immediately pre-capex) at US$8,500/t Cu and US$1,850/oz Au, driving a modest cut in our target to 85p/sh (Jun’23E) from 101p. Nonetheless, we view this as a solid base case, with tangible potential upside through: inclusion of the open-pit Tandayama-America (“TAM”) deposit 3km away; additional caves and throughput capacity to capture th

Savannah, which operates the Barroso lithium mine project in Portugal, reports today the results of its locked cycle test to determine optimal flotation reagents to confirm lithium recoveries and spodumene concentrate grades. Savannah is aiming for a 5.5%Li2O concentrate grade with a near 80% recovery. The reported work confirms that these should be possible and that in larger scale, bulk testing these parameters may improve. The work also highlights that there are still optimisations to be h
