Simba Completes Passive Survey on Block 2A

Simba Energy Inc. has successfully completed the first phase of field work on Kenya’s Block 2A. The company said that the passive seismic data collected from 218 listening stations covered the company’s existing three leads. Data results obtained were reported by GeoDynamics Worldwide as being of high (clean) quality and expected to correlate well with existing 2D seismic during processing. The final report and interpretations are expected soon.

Additionally Simba carried out the collection of 675 geochemical samples on Block 2A. These will be analyzed with results being incorporated into the Block 2A geological interpretation.

At the strongest lead, with 4-way closure already confirmed by reprocessed 2D seismic, the passive seismic survey’s preliminary field data considerably increased the exploration potential and resulted in the decision to infill the listening pattern. Simba’s technical team will now follow up with targeted 2D and or 3D seismic programs in order to better determine the location of its first exploration well on this concession.

Simba’s chief technical officer & director, James Dick remarked, “I am very pleased with the results of this program to date. After the passive seismic data has been processed and interpreted our plan had been to shoot up to 500 km of 2D seismic. Now a smaller amount of 2D and or 3D seismic is required to locate the first well. This passive seismic survey has accelerated the exploration phase on Block 2A and has moved us closer to a drilling program. Getting to this stage so early in the exploration program is a very positive development for the Company and its shareholders.”
