The placement funds will allow us to commence our 2D seismic acquisition campaign to refine the drilling targets in the stacked Mzarabani Prospect and identify additional prospectivity in the SG 4571 permit.

The Company will also use part of the proceeds from the placement to order long lead drilling equipment and undertake a rig tender exercise. In addition, the placement will provide ongoing working capital to support the development of the project as it continues to prepare for a high impact basin opening drilling campaign, anticipated in late CY21 / early CY22."

About the Cabora Bassa Project

The Cabora Bassa Project encompasses the Mzarabani Prospect, a multi-TCF and liquids rich conventional gas- condensate target, which is potentially the largest, undrilled seismically defined structure onshore Africa. The prospect is defined by a robust dataset acquired by Mobil in the early 1990s that includes seismic, gravity, aeromagnetic and geochemical data.

#Cautionary Statement: The estimated quantities of petroleum that may be potentially recovered by the application of a future development project relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration, appraisal and evaluation are required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially movable hydrocarbons. Prospective Resource assessments in this release were estimated using probabilistic methods in accordance with SPE-PRMS standards.

The Company is not aware of any new information and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning prospective resource estimate continue to apply and have not materially changed

*Giant fields are conventional oil or gas fields with a recoverable reserve of 500 MMboe or more as defined by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)

*Elephant fields are conventional oil or gas fields with a recoverable reserve of 1 Billion boe (1,000 MMboe) or more as defined by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)

SG 4571 - Special Grant Permit 4571 was granted in August 2017, the first exploration work programme has been completed. Invictus has an 80% equity stake in SG4571 via its subsidiary Geo Associates (Private) Limited
