PATLISISO YA KGASE KA HARA FREE STATE KE MOTUOANE ENERGY

This public information pamphlet, produced by Natural Justice, notifies the public about Motuoane Energy's application to convert an exploration right into a production right for helium and methane gas in the Free State province of South Africa. It outlines the planned infrastructure and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, inviting interested and affected parties to submit comments by February 23, 2026.

• Motuoane Energy (Pty) Ltd is seeking to convert its existing Exploration Right (ER315), granted by the Petroleum Agency South Africa (PASA) in 2024, into a Production Right (PR) for the extraction of helium and methane gas.
• The proposed production activities include the drilling of approximately 43 production wells, the installation of gas collection pipelines, and the construction of a helium recovery and gas processing plant (handling CNG and/or LNG) along with associated infrastructure.
• Environmental Impact Management Services (Pty) Ltd (EIMS) has been appointed to conduct the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which is currently in the scoping phase. The process involves evaluating the positive and negative impacts of the project and gathering public input via a Background Information Document (BID).
• Interested and affected parties (I&APs) are invited to register and submit their comments, questions, and concerns regarding the environmental and social impacts of the project to EIMS by February 23, 2026.
