June 2015 Quarter Activities Report
Baraka Energy & Resources Limited ("Baraka" or "the Company") (ASX:BKP) provides its quarterly activities report for the period ended 30 June 2015.
In early March 2015, after extensive discussions and communications and together with the support of Petrofrontier Corp (TSX-V:PFC)(Petrofrontier) and Statoil Australia Theta B.V. (Statoil), Baraka applied for the renewal of Exploration Permit EP128, being the most northerly of the two permits Baraka has an interest in, in the Georgina Basin, Northern Territory, Australia.
Directors of Baraka travelled to Darwin and met with the Department of Mines and Energy to discuss Baraka pursuing renewal of EP128 in its own right and were provided a very courteous and supportive audience.
As a result, Baraka appointed an experienced law firm and a tenement administrator in Darwin to assist in the renewal application of the permit in the name of Baraka as the 100% holder. This application has been lodged with supporting documentation.
Subject to the success of the renewal application with Department of Mines and Energy, the Company will make further announcements regarding its intentions on this permit going forward. Baraka has, at the request of the NT Mines and Energy department, provided additional supporting information in July for the renewal application and has not been informed as to the timing of any approval period of the licence.
Based on both Petrofrontier and Statoil's announcements and continued discussions with Baraka, it is expected that Baraka will also lodge an application for renewal of EP127 in its own right as 100% permit holder in due course. These discussions and communications have commenced. EP127 does not expire until 13 December 2015 and once again, all commitments have been met to that date.
Baraka has been approached by a Canadian group that has for some time expressed an interest in pursuing the conventional targets within Baraka's permits, and the Company would expect to pursue that interest if and when both permits are renewed.
Whilst the world's energy and resource companies are suffering low oil, iron ore, coal and other commodity prices, history shows that these are only a temporary hiccup in the world's growth and will result in the same recovery of prices and demand as every other recession or commodity cycle in the past 40 years.
The board of Baraka would like to once again thank Petrofrontier and Statoil for their courage in committing substantial funds to pursue the basins unconventional prospects, regardless of results during their programs.
Baraka has post 30 June received some $890,000 in R & D tax offset to add to its current cash resources. Subject to successful applications Baraka could also receive substantial additional funds before the end of the current calendar year. Baraka is also in the process of converting some $600,000 of current assets into cash prior to the end of this calendar year.
Baraka will, in addition to pursuing the renewal of the Georgina Basin oil and gas permits, be seeking farm in partners and continue to assess a number of other projects and ventures for the benefit of its shareholders, including its other current assets and seek to create cash generating opportunities as soon as realistically possible.
Baraka continues to be debt free, operating on extremely low overhead expenses, negligible liabilities, and no expenditures requirements on its permits for the 2015 calendar year.
