25 Jan 2022capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor
Capital raising completed at $8m: $4m placement plus $4m SPP (39,999,775 shares issued at $0.10, with $0.14 options). Mangwana takes 5,000,000 shares. Funds pay the rig mobilisation fee, long-lead items and seismic processing. Resolves the raising announced 29 December.
What it means for a shareholder
40.0m new shares at A$0.100 to raise about A$4.0m. That's 5.1% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 5.1% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (10,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00135% to 0.00128% of the company. To keep it you'd need 541 more shares - about A$54 at the issue price.
Post-stack migrated 2D seismic data received from Earth Signal Processing; quality described as excellent, with numerous anomalies over the Muzarabani prospect and basin margin fault. Final dataset due early February; the company says it is on track for May 2022 drilling. Anomalies are uncalibrated and not proof of hydrocarbons.
Supplementary prospectus formalising the SPP increase to $4m, the early 18 January close, pro-rata scale-back, and the Mangwana offer of 5,000,000 shares at $0.10 with 2,500,000 options. Legal document repeating the same-day announcement.

MOU signed with Exalo Drilling for its #202 rig to drill Muzarabani-1 (8.2 Tcf + 247 mmbbl target) plus an option well, with drilling now expected from May 2022. A binding rig agreement is expected in the new year; the second-well option must be exercised by 15 Feb 2022.
Invictus signed a non-binding option agreement with Cluff Energy Africa, which would fund 33.33% of costs for a 25% interest in the Cabora Bassa Project across a 2-well campaign, with Invictus remaining operator. Cluff must exercise by 31 March 2022 and still needs to raise funding. It follows the July 2021 termination of the earlier farm-in.
Shares now trade on the US OTCQB market under IVCTF, upgraded from the Pink market where they previously traded. This completes the OTCQB listing flagged in October. It aims to improve visibility and liquidity for US investors; ASX remains the main listing.
Managing Director's AGM address recaps the year's milestones (PEDPA, licence renewal to 2024, 840km seismic) and says drilling campaign details will come in the coming days. Mostly repeats known facts.
Preliminary processing of line CB21-010 shows a clear Muzarabani anticline and strong shallow amplitude anomalies, with possible 'flat spots' the company says can indicate hydrocarbons. These are early indications only, not a discovery; drilling remains scheduled for 1H 2022.
Chairman's Africa Oil Week presentation repeats known figures: 8.2 Tcf + 247 mmbbl at Muzarabani, 9.25 Tcf + 294 mmbbl total, $93.6m market cap at $0.16, about $7.3m net cash. Notes the seismic is complete; nothing new.
The CB21 seismic survey is complete, with 839.3km of 2D data acquired (402.2km in SG 4571 and 437.1km in an adjoining application area), well above the 300km licence commitment. Processing continues to refine the Muzarabani-1 location for 1H 2022 drilling.
Non-executive director Barnaby Egerton-Warburton, a founding director from 2018, resigned citing the demands of his other board roles. His AGM re-election resolution was withdrawn; the board is now four directors.
Seismic acquisition reached 467km, above the 400km minimum, with over 100,000 hours lost-time-injury free. Early processing of test Line 05 by Earth Signal shows better resolution and fault definition than the 1990 Mobil data; final products will fix well locations for 1H 2022 drilling.
The CB21 seismic survey is progressing, with 220km recorded and 240km laid out, over 87,000 hours without a lost-time injury, and processing started. The company is also finalising a US OTCQB listing (ticker IVCTF) after North American investor interest.

9 July 2021material agreement termination▼ BadMajor
The non-binding farm-in offer received in December 2020 has ended because Invictus could not satisfactorily complete due diligence on the counterparty. The company says it continues talking to other interested parties; seismic acquisition is expected to finish around end of Q3.
