27 Dec 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Invictus raised A$15.0m through an institutional placement of about 115.4m shares at $0.13, a 16% discount to the 21 December price, with a free IVZOA option for every two shares. Funds go to the Mukuyu-2 well test, 3D seismic preparation and long-lead items. A shareholder entitlement offer is to follow.

What it means for a shareholder

115m new shares at A$0.130 to raise about A$15.0m. That's 14% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 14% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (7,692 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00104% to 0.0009% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,201 more shares - about A$156 at the issue price.

Wireline work at the Mukuyu-2 sidetrack is finished: 15 hydrocarbon samples and 38 sidewall cores were recovered, several cores showing liquid hydrocarbon fluorescence. Net pay estimate is unchanged at 34.9m. The 7-inch liner is next, to allow a future flow test.

18 Dec 2023material agreement▲ GoodMajor

Invictus and One Gas Resources signed an updated non-binding gas supply MOU with Mbuyu Energy, a consortium led by Tatanga Energy, for a 500MW gas-to-power project. Expansion to 1,000MW would need about 1.4 Tcf over 20 years. A full gas sale agreement is still to be negotiated.

15 Dec 2023drilling result▲ GoodMajor

Invictus declared a second gas discovery, in the Lower Angwa at Mukuyu-2, with 11 further hydrocarbon samples recovered. Preliminary net pay is 34.9m across Upper and Lower Angwa. Lab analysis is still to come, and a well test is planned next.

11 Dec 2023drilling progress report▲ Good

The Mukuyu-2 sidetrack reached total depth of 3,360mMD in the Lower Angwa, with strong gas shows and fluorescence. The hole is being conditioned for a full wireline logging, sampling, sidewall core and seismic programme before the well is suspended for flow testing.

Invictus declared a gas discovery at Mukuyu-2 after four hydrocarbon samples reached surface from two Upper Angwa zones. Preliminary net pay is 13.9m. It says Mukuyu-1, 7km away, can now be classed a discovery. Resolves the open discovery question; lab analysis is pending.

4 Dec 2023drilling progress report▲ Good

The Mukuyu-2 sidetrack has reached 2,987mMD near the base of the Upper Angwa, with strong gas shows and fluorescence consistent with the original hole. Drilling continues to about 3,400mMD, then logging and sampling.

1 Dec 2023contract award▲ GoodMajor

Invictus extended the Exalo Rig 202 contract for up to 2 years so the rig stays in the Cabora Bassa Basin for future drilling and well testing. The company says keeping it avoids demobilising and remobilising the rig, with substantial time and cost savings.

27 Nov 2023drilling progress report● Neutral

The Mukuyu-2 vertical sidetrack has started, kicked off above the casing shoe at about 1,966m, and is drilling toward about 3,400m through the Upper and Lower Angwa. It will be logged and sampled, then the well suspended for flow testing. This follows the 20 November decision to sidetrack.

20 Nov 2023drilling result● NeutralMajor

Mukuyu-2 recovered natural gas (about 96.6% methane) from the Pebbly Arkose at 2,197m, which the company calls a potential discovery. Hole problems and high pressure (over 5,000 psi) prevented full sampling, so a vertical sidetrack is needed; it says it is funded for this. Mukuyu-2 would then be kept for a future flow test.

Fluid sampling on Mukuyu-2 was delayed again after both primary and backup sampling tools failed during clean-up. Replacement parts have arrived and the company is preparing to resume. No new results.

9 Nov 2023drilling progress report● Neutral

Initial Upper Angwa sampling on Mukuyu-2 showed gas and liquid hydrocarbons (condensate/oil) flowing, indicating moveable hydrocarbons. The wireline cable stuck to the borehole wall, so sampling moves to drill pipe, pushing the schedule back several days, with results expected in 3-5 days.

6 Nov 2023drilling progress report▲ Good

Preliminary wireline logs on Mukuyu-2 identify multiple hydrocarbon-bearing zones in the Upper and Lower Angwa, matching the gas shows seen while drilling. Logging ran slightly late after a tool failure; fluid sampling, needed to confirm a discovery, is expected to take 2-3 days.

Mukuyu-2 at 3,296m shows strong gas shows (up to 157 times background) and fluorescence in the Upper Angwa, and similar shows (up to 151 times) in the previously untested Lower Angwa. The company says this could open a new play. Wireline logs are still needed to confirm moveable hydrocarbons; it may deepen beyond 3,750m.

20 Oct 2023drilling progress report▲ Good

Mukuyu-2 reached 2,745m with gas shows up to 70 times background and elevated resistivity in the Upper Angwa primary target, plus heavier hydrocarbons. Some mud was lost to the formation and top drive repairs slowed progress. Drilling continues toward 3,750m.

10 Oct 2023drilling progress report▲ Good

Mukuyu-2 intermediate section finished at 1,966m. Background gas is higher than in Mukuyu-1, with heavier hydrocarbons, and wireline logs show residual hydrocarbons in about 20m of upper Dande reservoir with 15-20% porosity. Early signs are encouraging, though not a discovery; primary Upper Angwa is still to be drilled.

21 Sept 2023capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Invictus raises A$15.0m via a two-tranche placement of about 100m shares at $0.15, a 25% discount to the 18 September price, to fund Mukuyu-2. Tranche 1 is about $7.5m now; Tranche 2 and attaching options (1 for 3) need AGM approval in late October.

What it means for a shareholder

100m new shares at A$0.150 to raise about A$15.0m. That's 12% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 12% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (6,667 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000902% to 0.000794% of the company. To keep it you'd need 902 more shares - about A$135 at the issue price.
