Tower Resources PLC (LSE:TRP) has reported significant progress on its proposed farm-out agreement with an undisclosed partner, anticipating that this collaboration will generate more than $14 million for the NJOM-3 well programme in Cameroon. This programme is a key asset for the company and is currently partially funded, highlighting its importance in unlocking commercial opportunities within the region.
In recent updates, Tower indicated that the potential partner, previously described as “a substantial upstream company,” has provided a more detailed funding proposal. Under this arrangement, the partner would acquire a minority stake in the NJOM asset, while Tower Resources would continue to operate the project. Discussions remain open with alternative potential partners as the company evaluates its options.
The management is actively reviewing the current proposal and clarifying its terms as necessary. The company plans to work on detailed contracts with either this partner or another interested party in the coming weeks.
In parallel with these efforts, Tower Resources is engaging with African banks to explore separate financing arrangements to advance the NJOM asset. To further support its initiatives, the company has announced an equity placing aimed at raising around £1.2 million by issuing approximately 4.4 billion shares at a price of 0.027p each, which represents a discount from the previous closing price.
Jeremy Asher, chief executive of Tower Resources, emphasized the importance of the Thali farm-out while also expressing the need to advance work programmes in Namibia. The company aims to ensure that well planning remains on track as financing discussions proceed. This period is described as an exciting time for Tower Resources, reflecting the dynamic developments within the organization.
