At South East Horus, Capricorn, with its joint venture partner Cheiron, has elected to continue into Phase 2 following test results. The Joint Venture will also be pursuing an application for a new development lease on the North Um Baraka (NUMB) concession due to encouraging test results from an exploration well drilled earlier this year. Additionally, the NUMB concession will be included in the modernised concession agreement allowing for continued exploration. On the West El Fayoum concession, commitments have been fulfilled, and the results are such that the Joint Venture will relinquish the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customary ratification of the modernised concession agreement is now expected to take place in Q1 2026 due to limited time for additional business in the current session of Parliament.
