Invictus signed a Deed of Variation with Exalo for Rig 202 and confirmed the Musuma-1 spud for November 2026, narrowing the earlier 'H2 2026' timing. Wellpad construction starts next week; remaining well services contracts are still to be awarded in coming weeks.
June quarter report recaps the PPSA signed 28 May 2026, which replaces the March 2021 agreement, and the A$10m placement. Musuma-1 preparations continue, with wellpad contracts awarded and Rig 202 maintenance started after quarter end. Spud stays H2 2026; talks with other strategic counterparties continue.
Contracts were awarded for Musuma-1 wellpad construction, civil works, road upgrades and water supply. Exalo is starting maintenance on Rig 202, and well services awards are expected in coming weeks. Spud remains on track for H2 2026.
Replying to an ASX aware letter, Invictus said it learned of Zimbabwe's intent to sign the PPSA only on the evening of 26 May 2026, so it had nothing definite to disclose earlier. It confirmed Listing Rule compliance.
The Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement was signed with Zimbabwe on 28 May 2026, ending a delay that had run since January. It sets the legal and fiscal framework for Cabora Bassa, covers National Project Status and Special Economic Zone status, and formalises Mutapa Investment Fund participation.

Corrects the earlier option expiry notice: quotation of the IVZOA options now ceases at close of trading on Monday 1 June 2026, not 2 June. The $0.20 expiry date itself is unchanged.
Prospectus offering quoted options: up to 83,333,333 to placement participants, 27,777,778 to the lead manager and 2,083,333 to S3 Consortium. It formalises the options attached to the April placement and raises no new money.
Notice that the listed IVZOA options, exercisable at $0.20, expire on 7 June 2026, with 256,042,153 on issue. Holders can exercise, sell or let them lapse. Administrative notice.
Site work has started for Musuma-1: the wellsite is surveyed, rig move planning has begun, and drilling and service contract awards are targeted for June 2026. Spud remains planned for H2 2026. No drilling result yet.
March quarter report: the $10m placement was done after quarter end, Musuma-1 spud is set for H2 2026, and the PPSA, after a final all-party review, is going through ratification and is due to be signed within weeks. Cash is not in the readable extract.
April 2026 investor presentation restates the Cabora Bassa story, including Musuma-1 drilling in H2 2026 and a stated market cap of A$121m at $0.07. It repeats known facts and states no resource changes.
Invictus raised $10m via a placement of 166,666,667 shares at $0.060, with one $0.10 two-year option for every two shares, mainly to fund the Musuma-1 well. This follows the failed Al Mansour funding; spud is now stated as H2 2026, not H1.
What it means for a shareholder
167m new shares at A$0.060 to raise about A$10.0m. That's 18% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 18% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (16,667 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00225% to 0.00184% of the company. To keep it you'd need 3,758 more shares - about A$225 at the issue price.
Zimbabwe's environmental agency renewed the environmental approval for SG 4571 and EPOs 1848/49 until March 2027, finishing permitting for Musuma-1 and Mukuyu appraisal. PPSA signing, previously expected in January, is now scheduled for April.
Half-year to 31 December 2025 net loss was $4.23m, versus $3.32m a year earlier. Report notes PPSA signing expected Q1 2026 and the later termination of the AMH agreement. Balance sheet figures are not in the readable extract.
December quarter report: PPSA finalised but signing now expected early Q1 2026, and Musuma-1 and Mukuyu appraisal planning continue for 2026. The AMH agreement was terminated after quarter end and talks continue with alternative funders. Cash is not in the readable extract.

Invictus terminated the A$37.8m Al Mansour Holdings subscription agreement, saying AMH did not intend to perform it, and ceased all talks after failing to agree terms for a 50% route. This ends the Qatari funding, the US$500m offer and the AMOG joint venture; Invictus says it is talking to alternative funders.
Zimbabwe's Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement process for Cabora Bassa is complete, with formal signing expected in January. This moves the long-running PPSA thread close to the finish, but execution has still not happened.
Invictus and Al Mansour Holdings are negotiating a structure giving AMH and other Qatari parties a pathway to 50% of Invictus, needing an independent expert's report, approvals and a shareholder vote. The A$37.8m placement settlement is deferred again, to 27 January 2026. No agreement is guaranteed.
September quarter report recaps PPSA terms settled but not yet signed, National Project Status and EPO renewals. Musuma-1 spud is now anticipated first half of 2026, later than the earlier H2 2025 target. Cash is not in the readable extract.

Responding to an ASX query over a fall from $0.225 to $0.155 on heavy volume, Invictus said it knew of no undisclosed information. It said the move followed an amended Appendix 3B deferring the Al Mansour Holdings placement.
The A$37.8m Al Mansour Holdings placement was deferred to settle on or before 1 December 2025, to align with finalising the joint venture shareholder agreement and governance. Management says it remains on track to complete. Delays the funding announced 27 August.
ASX paused trading in Invictus securities pending a further announcement. No reason is given in the notice itself. It follows the 25 September price query.
