Euroshale - Provisional lease and drilling options in Germany, North Rhein Westphalia - 15 million Euro
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Germany has technically recoverable shale gas reserves of 230 billion cubic meters.
In summer 2012 this figure was revised, The Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources estimated that Germany's level of shale
gas that could be extracted is between 0.7 and 2.3 trillion cubic meters. Of these, the deposits in North Rhein-Westphalia are considered the
most promising. The state of North Rhine - Westphalia have issued a total of 19 permits but has recently put in place a drilling moratorium.
The moratorium was put in place following a study in September 2012 commissioned by the state that concluded that hydraulic fracturing
should not be allowed to take place for the time being until there is further research regarding the safety of hydraulic fracturing.
Germany's Ministry for Environment has published a study in August 2012 into the impact of hydraulic fracturing on water and the
environment. The study concluded that hydraulic fracturing should not be banned but recommended that shale gas operations should not
take place in water protection zones, Environmental Impact Assessments must be mandatory for drill sites and that the ingredients of
fracturing fluids must be disclosed.
Germany is heavily dependent on gas imports from Russia and Norway and is likely to become even more so with the early closure of old
nuclear power stations and dwindling conventional gas reserves. It consumes about 81 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year, accounting
for 23% of its gross inland consumption of energy. It must import 86.2% of this.
There is a gross disparity of gas prices between the USA and Europe.
Poland is displaying an apparent desire to create their own energy cost advantage by commencing an aggressive shale gas exploration
campaign. The United Kingdom is displaying a sense of urgency
There is an emerging Realpolitik across the political parties in Germany that such economic disadvantage cannot be allowed to take its course
and that rapid and concerted efforts must be made to ensure that unconventional drilling can be conducted safely and may then also
commence so as to remove the grave economic risk to the countrys manufacturing base of a resulting energy cost disadvantage if the shale
gas deposits are not exploited.
The fund shall enter into a technical service agreement with a drilling company operating in the Bakken Shale Gas fields of the USA. The fund
shall acquire the rights to a flagship plot of arable or industrial land of 15,000 to 25,000 sqm or more and negotiate options on further pieces
of land.
The fund shall proceed through the political and permitting process to obtain a license to drill for shale gas and/or oil on the flagship plot. The
land will be situated as close to the old industrial areas around the regional steel capital Duisburg as geology, price and permission may enable.
This will allow opportunity for the redevelopment of brown field industrial sites for petrochemical processes associated with shale gas and oil
and access to the river Rhine harbour facilities. The alternative opportunity will be around the regional capital and old Hansa city of Wesel
which also has land available but a considerably smaller Rhine harbour.
The fund value represents the campaign cost of the first drilling location .It is expected that financing of subsequent locations will be possible.
NigerMines - Mining and Export of Lead/Zinc ores in Ebonyi State, Nigeria - 40 million USD
The fund shall obtain licenses for the exploration mining and export of Lead-Zinc mineralizations in the lower Benue Trough located in Ebonyi
state of Nigeria
The deposits are familiar to the Fund Operator, having previously prospected in the Ishiagu lode.
The extracted ores shall be crushed at the lode and transported by road to the rail terminal at Enugu
Under an agreement with the Nigerian Railway and Ports Authorities and port terminal operators the crushed ore shall be transported by rail
from Enugu and offloaded into the ore hoppers at Port Harcourt Port for ship loading.
A contract for sale will be entered into with a European ore smelter for which the ore is suitable.
