Terra Oil and Gas Company Plc
("Nostra
Terra", "NTOG" or "the Company")
21 November 2024
£500,000
Fundraise aimed at increasing production
and cash flow at Pine Mills
Nostra Terra (AIM: NTOG), the
international oil & gas exploration and production company with
development and production assets in Texas, USA, is pleased to
announce a successful fundraise supported by institutional
investors, Directors and Management, existing shareholders and new
investors.
The Company has raised £500,000
(before expenses) through a subscription and placing of
2,173,913,042 new ordinary shares (the "Fundraise Shares") at a
price of 0.023p per share (the "Placing Price") (the
"Fundraise").
The Company has embarked on a major
workover and development programme at its principal producing asset
at Pine Mills. It has successfully delivered on the 1st
phase of the workover programme during September and October 2024
which increased oil production by 30 bopd above that in August
2024. Net proceeds from this Fundraise will be used to
accelerate the planned 2nd phase workover programme on 4
additional wells to deliver further potential significant increases
in production and cash flow in the near term.
Paul Welch, Nostra Terra's
Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Today's fundraise is an important next step in the rebuilding
of NTOG as it enables us to accelerate the 2nd phase
workover program in Pine Mills following on immediately after the
very successful 1st phase and so deliver further
potential significant increases in production, improved net backs
and increased cash flow, all the more quickly. I would like
to thank those shareholders and new institutional investors who
supported the fundraise, and I look forward to updating everyone on
our operational progress over the coming months."
