The purchase will be funded from cash reserves and from the proceeds of the sale of part of AWE’s interest in the BassGas Project. AWE has an A$150m loan facility available to meet any short-term funding requirements.
The current acquisition is in line with AWE’s selective exploration and acquisition strategy to grow the company’s business in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
