Executive SummaryExecutive SummaryThe opportunity exists to gain a significant, negotiable interest and operatorship in the Manja 3108License to develop a Gas‐to‐Power project for the regional supply of energy to Madagascar. This isthanks to the discovery of gas reserves at the Sikily‐1 well (southern part of the block).

The project requires:

t l ( f b l f l )– 1st milestone (pre‐feasibility finalization): USD2.5M

– 2nd milestone (full feasibility): USD10M

– 3rd milestone (construction and production) USD15M

The current costs simulation demonstrates a power production cost of between 15‐20 UScents/KWh, whereas the National electricity company Jirama is buying it from other producers at37‐67 US cents/KWh.

The key benefits of the project to Madagascar are:

1. Improved supply of energy2 Significant reduction in cost of energy2. Significant reduction in cost of energy3. Improved power distribution4. Environment friendly (natural gas vs. heavy fuels)5. Development of regional industriesp g6. Increase in local employment7. Reduced foreign exchange exposure

Natural Gas Power

Power stations fired by natural gas will be a major part of the future’s lower‐carbon economybecause natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel available. When used in power generation, gas‐firedpower typically produces 50 percent less carbon dioxide than conventional coal‐fired plants.

Gas fired power plants run with the help of gas turbines, which are similar to airplane engines.Compressed air is forced into combustion chambers, where it mixes with natural gas fuel. Themixture is then burned, making combustion gas. This hot gas expands through the turbine, and itsheat energy drives a generator, producing cleaner electricity. Plant fitted with co‐generationtechnology has an added benefit as some of the steam can be used to supply nearby industry.S l i h t d t th lik thi i hi hl ffi i t tti ll f l

Supplying heat and power together like this is highly energy‐efficient, cutting overall fuelconsumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

Significant Reduction in Cost of EnergySignificant Reduction in Cost of Energy

The cost of electricity produced from this gas project willb b i ll l h hbe substantially lower than the present cost.

Our current understanding is a production cost ofelectricity of 15‐20 US cents/kWh, whereas Jirama isbuying it from other producers at 37 67 US cents/kWhbuying it from other producers at 37‐67 US cents/kWh.
