Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo Energy, says: “We continue to advance the development of all Kibo’s
projects and remain confident of meeting deadlines set for 2023. That said, resolving the creation of
new authorities (see RNS dated 16 March 2023) is of an increasing concern as this materially affects
the Company’s ability to secure project funding and debt financing at project level, which will
inevitably impact on reaching financial close for the various projects at the set target dates.”
