ProposalDescription: 

Proposal to continue exploration within identified Target Areas within Exploration Right (ER) 294 (ER reference: 12/3/294) located within the Free State Province.

Expanded_Motivation: 

In 2019, Rhino Oil and Gas was granted an Environmental Authorisation (EA) and ER, permitting their exploration for natural gas using non-invasive techniques within ER 294. Exploration was to be undertaken in terms of an approved EWP, over an initial period of three (3) years. The initial EWP entailed: (i) the review of existing literature and datasets from historic drilling campaigns by other exploration companies (Years 1 and 2); (ii) procurement of geological core samples from the Council for Geoscience (Year 3) and (iii) the acquisition of airborne geophysical data. This exploration and analysis has furthered confidence regarding the presence of natural gases within the ER 294 area. Thus, Rhino Oil and Gas have made applications to renew the ER for a further two (2) year duration and update the exploration work programme (EWP) to allow for the drilling of several exploration wells. Although Rhino Oil and Gas hold an approved EA for exploration in ER 294, the current EA is limited to the use of non-intrusive techniques.
