Corcel plc (AIM: CRCL): Seismic and drilling permits received

• Corcel has received final ministerial approval for the Environmental Impact Assessment, granting full environmental clearance to proceed with seismic acquisition activities within the KON-16 Block.
• The approved licence encompasses both 2D seismic acquisition and future exploration drilling operations.
• The seismic programme is underpinned by £3.85 mm in proceeds from the accelerated exercise of warrants. Additional funding is anticipated upon completion of the farm-in agreement with Sintana Energy.
• The 2D seismic acquisition campaign, covering 326 line-kilometres, will begin immediately. Processing is scheduled for Q126, with interpreted results expected in Q2/Q326.
• These results will support the drilling of a high-impact exploration well on KON-16 in 2026. The initial well is designed to test both pre- and post-salt targets, with ~245 mmbbl of prospective resources net to Corcel’s working interest.
• Our unrisked NAV for KON-16 stands at 20 p per share. Total unrisked prospective resources across the block are estimated at ~745 mmboe (net to Corcel). We re-iterate our target price of 1.50 p per share.

Valuation
Our ReNAV is unchanged at 1.49 p per share. It includes only one pre-salt and one post-salt prospect at KON-16. The overall unrisked NAV of the company based on its entire portfolio of leads and prospects is ~24 p per share.
