Tower Resources Boosts Stake in Namibia's PEL96 License with Strategic Acquisition
Africa-focusedoilfirmTowerResourceshasstrengthened itspositioninNamibia'soffshoreenergysectorbyagreeing to acquire an additional 5% interest in Namibia's PEL96 license from its local partner, ZM Fourteen Investment.
The AIM-listed company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tower Resources (Namibia) Limited (TRNL),willpurchasehalfofZM's current 10% stake for a cash payment of USD375 000 upon completion.
Under the terms of the deal, ZM's remaining5%interestinPEL96will be fully carried through to production, aligning with the 10% interest held by the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR). TowerResourceshas already covered all expenses tied to ZM's share to date, meaning no additional reimbursement of past costsisowedtoZM.Theacquisition is subject to standard conditions, including Namibian government approvals and the consent of other PEL96 partners, conditions mirroring those in a separate farmout agreement TRNL signed with Prime Global Energies in January 2025 Both transactions are expected to close around the same time, pending similar regulatory approvals. This purchase follows Tower's broader operational roadmap for PEL96. The company
anticipates funding the acquisition withproceedsfromthePrimefarmout deal, in which it will transfer a 25%interestinthelicensetoPrime GlobalEnergies. Uponcompletion of both transactions, TRNL will emerge as the operator with a 60% working interest, while Prime will hold25%,NAMCOR10%,andZM 5%. ZM has also confirmed its support for the Tower-Prime farmout agreement. Tower Resources Chairman and CEO Jeremy Asher expressed optimism about the developments,“wearepleasedwith theprogresswearemakingandalso with the acquisition of this small additional interest in the Namibian PEL96 from our local partner ZM. This acquisition reflects our wish for ZM to move to a more sustainable fully carried position and also reflects our faith in the value of the PEL96 license at the sametimethatwearebringingina new partner to manage risk and share funding obligations.” Asher concluded, “I look forward to keeping you updated with our furtherprogress.”

Baha'is Celebrate Naw-Ruz on 20 March to Welcome Their New Year
Naw-Ruz falls on the vernal equinox, when day and night are of equal length, symbolizing the balance and renewal of nature.
For Bahá'ís the Equinox brings more than just the joy of birds singing and nature blooming in the northern hemisphere, while in the south and especially Namibia we have a good rainy season which broke the summer heat. This cosmic change also marks the New Year celebration - a celebration known as Naw-Ruz (pronounced no-rooz), which means “new day.” “It's a time of rejuvenation a time of renewal,”
For Baha'is, Naw-Ruz is a symbolic reminder of the oneness of all the messengers of God and the spiritual springtime they each brought to humanity It represents the return of the Sun of Reality, when a re-awakening of the spirit occurs and the light of a new revelation shines equally upon the entirety of God's creation.
Besides praying, read the scripture of the holy day and reflecting, the joyous NawRuz celebrations usually include singing, sharing of meals, dancing, and socializing. It's a time of joy, optimism, and faith, with Baha'is welcoming the exciting, unlimited possibilities of a new year
