Shares in Edinburgh-based Africa explorer Bowleven rose six percent today on news the company was planning a new share issue on the back of smaller net losses.
Bowleven posted a smallish $1.2 million net loss for the quarter, a shrinking of losses by some $12 million over the year-ago span. Shareholders appeared cheered by the $45 million in cash still on hand and word farm-ins aimed at bringing capital to the company’s African venture were “progressing well”.
With plans aired to move onshore in Cameroon and Gabon, management said capital was key to realizing value from its reserve base, which was up 36 million barrels of oil equivalent to 203 MMboe.
“Even given the extreme environment, we remain confident that we will be able to obtain the capital required to make substantial progress and create value for shareholders.”
