ACQUISITION OF A 55% PARTICIPATING INTEREST IN THE EXPLORATION PERMIT FOR THE GAS POTENTIAL CHAAL PERMIT AREA, TUNISIA
Introduction
SacOil Holdings Limited, which is 56.7% owned by Encha Capital, concluded a farm-in agreement on 10 May 2010 ("the Agreement") in terms of which SacOil will, subject to the conditions precedent set out below, acquire a 55% participating interest in the Chaal Permit Area ("the Acquisition"). The Chaal Permit Area is potentially one of Tunisia`s most significant future gas resources.
The Chaal Permit Area Chaal is a potential world class gas condensate discovery located onshore central Tunisia some 25 kms to the west of Tunisia`s second largest city, Sfax. Candax Energy Inc. ("Candax") together with its partners and the Tunisian Government are actively pursuing the deep gas resources at Chaal and in the Triassic reservoirs lying beneath the producing fields in the south of the country.
Encha has acquired a 20% equity stake in Emergent Process Management, the distributor of Cordys in sub-Saharan Africa, with the option to increase this to 30%.
Gontse Moseneke, the CEO of Encha Tech, said: "Encha is determined to establish a meaningful presence in the IT space by building a dynamic group of IT companies. We have spent a considerable amount of time familiarising ourselves with the IT landscape, as well as identifying businesses that we think could be appropriate for the contemplated IT Group. Cordys has the potential to be a cohesive nucleus of this Group."
