Frontier Resources International has secured an extension for two onshore license blocks in Namibia.
The company said it had been granted a two-year extension, to January 2016, by Namibia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy for blocks 1717 and 1718 in the Owambo basin onshore Namibia.
In an operational update Frontier said the extension will allow more time to obtain soil gas samples for analysis and acquire 2-D seismic date over the blocks, prior to any potential drilling program. Together the blocks cover a total of 18,900 sq km (730 sq miles) and, according to Frontier, remain virtually unexplored.
