"The deal involves a purchase consideration of $13.18m."

Scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2017, the transaction will allow Point Resources to extend its oil and gas assets portfolio on the NCS.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Meridian Minerals Ltd, FAR Ltd has agreed to acquire 80% stake in blocks A2 and A5 located in the Mauritania-Senegal-Guinea-Bissau Basin, offshore Gambia, from Erin Energy Corporation.

The deal involves a purchase consideration of $13.18m, which will be funded by FAR through a combination of cash and capital investment.

A2 and A5 blocks extend over an area of approximately 663,000 acres in water depths of 50m to 1,200m. The blocks are estimated to hold prospective resources of more than 1,000 million barrels of oil.

FAR will hold 80% stake and operatorship in the blocks, while Erin Energy will own the remaining 20% stake upon completion of the transaction.
