APPENDIX (Exhibits 1 - 10 to Above Ground, CIEL, GLA submission)

The document contains an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Reconnaissance Energy Namibia (Pty) Ltd's proposed drilling of stratigraphic wells in the Kavango Basin, Namibia, and a technical report on shale oil and gas resources in South Africa's Karoo Basin.

• Reconnaissance Energy Namibia (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of ReconAfrica, holds a 90% interest in Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) No. 73, with the remaining 10% held by the state-owned National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor).
• The proposed project involves drilling two initial stratigraphic wells (5-6 and 6-2) to a total depth of approximately 2,500 meters to evaluate the petroleum systems of the Kavango Basin.
• The EIA concludes that the overall negative environmental impacts of the drilling operations will be localised and of low significance without mitigations, and negligible with mitigations.
• Water resources are identified as a high-risk area, specifically regarding aquifer pollution vulnerability, contaminated water discharge, tank bursts, pipe breaks, and backwash water.
• The Kavango Basin is described as reaching depths of up to 9.144 km, which the proponent believes provides optimal conditions for organic-rich marine shales and an active petroleum system.
• Socioeconomic assessments of the Kavango East and West Regions indicate high poverty (53% of the population) and high unemployment rates, with Ncamangoro Constituency reaching 52.2%.
• The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that the Lower Permian Ecca Group shales in South Africa's Karoo Basin contain 1,559 Tcf of risked shale gas in-place and 370 Tcf of risked, technically recoverable shale gas resources.
