ADX Executive Chairman, Mr Ian Tchacos, said "The Board of ADX is pleased by the strong support for this placement and welcomes a number of new domestic and international investors to the register.
This funding enables ADX to build on the early exploration success at the HOCH-1 shallow gas discovery in Upper Austria with multi zone testing of the well and the continuation of the shallow gas drilling program with the goal of materially building our gas production. This is at a time when Europe is experiencing record gas prices due to supply shortfalls for the foreseeable future.
In addition to the shallow gas program, we are enhancing our oil production output from our existing fields and preparing to introduce farm-in partners to a new material nearfield oil exploration target adjacent to our existing Anshof oil field. It is a unique opportunity to maximise value and shorten the development cycle through the utilization of our existing 3000 barrel per day capacity processing facility at the Anshof field.
Our near term program for low risk, production growth in Austria is complemented by the planned deepening of the high-impact Welchau light oil and gas discovery.
In the Sicily Channel gas exploration permit offshore Italy we will continue to build our seismic and well data base to further define the areas exceptional resource potential in a prime strategic location for delivering clean biogenic gas into gas starved Europe. We will continue the resource definition and gas play development work that was recently validated by an internationally accredited Independent Reviewer.
ADX is well placed in terms of assets and people in tier 1 jurisdictions to deliver oil and gas into one of the worlds prime energy markets. We believe our opportunities are only limited by capital. This placement allows the Company to continue its strategy of rapid production growth coupled with the development of its transformation gas exploration portfolio."
