AWARD OF CRUDE ALLOCATION BY THE NNPC

Key highlights:
- SacOil and Energy Equity Resources (“EER”) (the “Partners”)
signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to explore oil and
gas opportunities in the Republic of Nigeria.

- Pursuant to the initiative, SacOil and EER, was awarded a
twelve (12) month term contract for the purchase of Nigerian
Crude Oil Grades by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(“NNPC”).

Overview of MOU

SacOil, a South African based independent African oil and gas
company and EER entered into a MOU to seek investment
opportunities in the business activities of the NNPC within the
Nigerian oil and gas sector. The Republic of Nigeria is one of
the most prolific oil and gas countries in Africa, with
significant investment opportunities available in the current
economic climate. The Partners have been evaluating a number
of opportunities that could provide sustainable revenue returns.

Crude Allocation

SacOil is pleased to announce the formation, at a minimal capital
cost to SacOil, of a joint venture company with EER called SacOil
Energy Equity Resources Limited (“SEER”). SEER is the
contracting party to the agreement for the sale and purchase of
Nigerian Crude Oil with the NNPC ("the Crude Oil Agreement").

The Crude Oil Agreement provides SEER with the right to acquire
crude oil from NNPC for onward sale. The amount of offtake by
SEER is dependent on the aggregate crude production in Nigeria
and the prevailing global oil price. The revenue generated from
the sale of the crude allocation will contribute meaningful
income to SacOil and will support SacOil’s growth and investment
strategy across the oil and gas value chain on the African
continent.


Commenting on the Crude Allocation, SacOil's CEO Dr Thabo Kgogo
said:
“This announcement is aligned with our previously communicated
strategy to focus on cash generative, income producing
activities in both upstream, refining and downstream. Nigeria
is a prolific hydrocarbon nation and the largest exporter of
crude oil on the African continent. We are pleased to have
secured this crude allocation for trading as it provides us with
a structured and measured exposure to this attractive market.
We look forward to working with EER and the NNPC in future
opportunities in the Nigerian oil and gas sector.”
