Trinity has proven the sustainability and resilience of the Company's business model, increasing both production and cash despite significant challenges in 2020. FY20 average production volumes increased 7% on 2019 to 3,226bopd despite no new drilling activity in 2020. Cash at 31 December 2020 was US$20.2m, a 27% YoY increase – driven by strong operating cash flow, and achieved despite a 36% reduction in average oil price realisations versus 2019. Average production volumes in Q4/20 increased by 2% on Q3/20 to 3,206bopd, with Trinity offsetting natural production declines through its rigorous approach to production management. Post-period, the Trinidad and Tobago Government lifted the threshold for the imposition of SPT for small onshore producers from US$50/bbl to US$75/bbl in 2021 and 2022, providing a considerable boost to Trinity's cash generation potential. With a high number of growth initiatives underway across the energy spectrum, Trinity is well positioned to broaden its portfolio and create further value as it looks to further scale the business. We increase our price target to 34p (from 32p), almost 3x the current share price and reiterate our BUY recommendation.

Shanta Gold (AIM: SHG), the East Africa-focused gold producer has, this morning, released a production and operational update for Q4 2020 and, last week, a group-wide reserves and resources update. Overall, it was a robust quarter leading to FY20 gold production of 82,978 oz bang in line with 2020 production guidance (80-85koz, Tamesis est. 83.3koz) – the third year in a row they have hit unchanged guidance which is especially impressive in the face of the pandemic. They have also increased net reserves. It was another very busy quarter for the company at the corporate level too with a successful equity raise to fund drilling and technical studies at the exciting West Kenya Project.

Gas composition data from the Kyalla 117 well has confirmed the presence of liquids-rich gas within the Lower Kyalla Shale, with less than 1% CO2. Analysis of the Kyalla 117 well has shown that the gas stream contains c65% methane gas, with c33% being other liquid gases such as ethane and butane. The analysis also supports the view that the Kyalla gas stream will have elevated LPG and condensate yields. Operations are scheduled to recommence at Kyalla 117 at the beginning of the dry season in Q2/21 and will initially focus on flowing back sufficient hydraulic fracture stimulation water to allow the Kyalla 117 well to flow continually without assistance.

Jersey Oil & Gas has announced a significant increase to the best estimate contingent resource estimate of the Buchan oil field to 126 mmb of oil, from 81 mmb of oil. The increase reflects an improved understanding of the subsurface and is premised on dynamic reservoir modelling completed by Schlumberger (in conjunction with teams from Rockflow Resources and Jersey Oil & Gas). As a result of the change, the recoverable oil estimate from the Greater Buchan Area, inclusive of core satellite fields, amounts to 162 mmb. We are increasing our fair value estimate to 479p/sh from 378p/sh as a result. The increase in our fair value estimate represents a preliminary change and we expect our valuation to increase further as we gain a better understanding of the development concept for the Greater Buchan Area. As a reminder, Jersey Oil & Gas anticipates completing the concept select report of the Greater Buchan Area in Q1 2021 after which it intends to seek a farm-in partner to fund the project. All in, we believe Jersey has now entered a very exciting catalyst rich period of progress and we expect the stock will materially rerate over the course of 2021.

Jubilee put out an intraday press release yesterday updating on the performance in the first half (ending Dec 2020) of the FY 2021. Once again Jubilee delivers; significantly increased revenues and profits from its chrome and PGM division in South Africa and a small, but important, contribution from Zambia. Notably this improvement isn't just from commodity price performance; rather increased production, productivity, throughput, renegotiated contracts and all set alongside the strong performance of commodity prices –rhodium, palladium and platinum. We see this as still only the start for Jubilee as we look forward to the first copper oxide concentrates from the Roan project in Zambia to the Sable Refinery – where the Roan plant is currently under construction. Once again we are struck by the speed at which Jubilee moves to advance its projects and, with its South African cash engine showing no signs of slowing down. Jubilee can choose to move its wider ambitions in Zambia forward from internally generated cash flow. On the back of the strong performance we put our forecasts under review.
