Petro Matad Ltd - petroleum exploration, development and production in Mongolia - Pretax loss in 2023 widens to USD5.9 million from USD2.9 million a year prior. Revenue totals USD351,000, up from USD201,000 before. Exploration and evaluation expenditure rises to USD2.2 million from USD137,000. Says preparations are being finalised for completion of the Heron 1 well and the contractor has indicated that it should be ready to mobilise in July.
Chief Executive Mike Buck says: "2023 proved to be a frustrating year on Block XX, where the significant step of cabinet approval of State Special Purpose Certification for the area did not translate into a rapid renewal of Petro Matad's licence to operate. Whilst that certification is still to be finalised and is having to wait until after the imminent Mongolian parliamentary elections, the fact that we were recently able to secure locally approved land use agreements for the areas in which our next operations are planned, ends a very long wait."
