Coal

CityView has agreed, subject to ongoing due diligence, to acquire a net 18.325% of a specialist coal fines company in South Africa. This company owns stocks of coal fines and is constructing two coal briquette plants, utilising proprietary technology, and with in-feed systems, each accommodating 100 tonnes/hour of wet, fine coal on slurry.

CityView has also agreed, subject to further due diligence, to acquire an interest in a private company owning anthracitic and coking coal deposits in the Utrecht coal province in Northern KwaZulu Natal of South Africa.

Oil: Cameroon and Angola

CityView is pursuing discussions with the Cameroon Government on their alternative proposal for compensation to CityView on Matanda PH72.

CityView is also maintaining dialogue with the Falcon group in Angola on possible participation in their oil concession areas.

Refinery

Deanshanger Projects Limited ("Deanshanger"), a leading infrastructure development and finance group in Nigeria, have agreed to enter into a joint venture with CityView to acquire a 55,000 bpsd crude oil refinery for installation in the Delta state of Nigeria. However Deanshanger has now decided that it will not enter into the final contract phase until all consents are in place. Accordingly CityView has decided to pursue a number of other alternatives both within and outside Africa.

The refinery will produce LPG, jet fuel, kerosene, gasoline, diesel and other related products which are in short supply in Africa.
