Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) – Q1/22 production and operations Chaarat Gold (CGH LN) – FY21 loss recorded on high operating and interest costs despite strong commodity price environment Mkango Resources* (MKA LN) – Initial sampling at Nkalonje returns up to 5.92% TREO Scotgold Resources* (SGZ LN) – BUY – Up to £3m loan facility agreement

Q1 production tracking full-year targets

CAML delivered another solid operational performance in the first quarter of the year, copper production at Kounrad up versus the year-ago period and zinc and lead output at Sasa, while expectedly slightly down on Q1 2021, still firmly tracking 2022 full-year guidance. The results are in-line with our production expectations for each operation for the full year, which if achieved would see metal output reach levels similar to last year. However, continued base metals pricing strength should see

Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) has announced a robust Q1 production update indicating the company is well on track to meet the company’s guidance and our forecasts.

Central Asia Metals: 2021 Full Year Results

Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) reported record full year earnings underpinned by strong commodity prices enabling a record dividend of 20p/sh. Net revenue of US$223.4m was up 39% YoY primarily due to higher copper, lead and zinc prices, and was in line with our forecast. EBITDA of US$141.5m was up 48% YoY and 3% ahead of our forecast. Net income was up 93% YoY to US$84.2m. This performance drove strong free cash flow generation and on the company’s metric was US$103.8m, up 76% YoY enabling a fina

2021 results: record profitability and dividend

Surging base metal prices across H2 more than offset some expected (in the context of wider industry trends) cost inflation as CAML enjoyed a record year of profitability in 2021, EBITDA and free cash flow rising by an impressive 48% and 76% respectively. The strong financial performance (underpinned by the low-cost nature of the group’s two operations) enabled CAML to again lift its dividend – the 12p final declared today is 50% up on the interim dividend and takes the full-year pay-out to a re

Central Asia Metals: Q4 2021 Operational Update

Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) announced Q4 2021 copper output of 4.1kt, up 9% YoY and down 11% QoQ from a record Q3. Full year copper output was therefore 14kt, up 1% YoY. This underpins our record earnings forecast and we expect full year group EBITDA of US$138m. At Sasa, zinc and lead output were both down in the quarter meaning that full year output was modestly below guidance. Q4 zinc output of 5.1kt and lead production of 6.5kt were down 12% and 13% YoY respectively and 11% and 7% QoQ. Full

Robust production, strong metals prices and move to net cash position point to dividend growth

Despite a mixed 2021 – with Kounrad once again beating guidance but Sasa slightly missing targets owing to challenging ground conditions and lower grades – CAML enters 2022 in fine fettle with a strong balance sheet and all three of its metal products riding high. We are pleased to hear that the recent unrest in Kazakhstan has not impacted operations at Kounrad, and are encouraged that the transition to cut-and-fill mining at Sasa remains on schedule (which should see a much more stable operatin

SHORE CAPITAL - SAVANNAH ENERGY+ (SAVE, 40p, Under Review) – FY21 results; completion of Chad-Cameroon entry expected in Q3

Exceptional transformation… and it may be just a beginning

With several opportunistic but timely acquisitions in 2021, coupled with the recent surge in the oil price, Zenith Energy has, in our view, completely transformed itself and its value proposition to investors. While for various reasons it has not been easy for the market to fully recognise and reward this transformation, we expect 1) doubling production, 2) further strengthening of its balance sheet and 3) becoming Free Cash Flow (FCF) generative this year, will make it difficult for the market

PetroTal Corp (AIM: PTAL): 0.72 mmbbl sales will trigger a US$60 mm payment to PetroTal earlier than expected

• Section II of the Northern Peruvian Pipeline has been temporary re-opened. • As a result, 0.72 mmbbl of PetroTal’s Bretana oil has been tendered at the Bayovar port by Petroperu for the July lifting. This oil previously entered the pipeline in late 2020 for which PetroTal was paid just ~US$45/bbl at the time. • PetroTal will receive the difference between this price and the price at which Petroperu will sell the oil in July (~US$120/bbl), generating over US$60 mm of price adjustment true-up r

Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL): Another well delivers flow rate above expectations

• The RCS-1 well was flow tested at oil rates of up 1,872 bbl/d (936 bbl/d net to Arrow) of 30 API crude from the C7B sands. • The zone was tested for 33 hours at an average oil rate of 1,076 bbl/d (538 bbl/d net to Arrow) with no formation water. Production will start next week at ~1,000 bbl/d (500 bbl/d net) in order to minimize water cut. We understand that the zone has the potential to produce 2,000-3,000 bbl/d of oil. • This is again above our expectations (~800 bbl/d). • The shallower C7
