Botala Energy’s major move with BSE secondary listing

- Staff Writer

Eustralian-listed energy company, Botala Energy Ltd, has announced plans to make a secondary listing on the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE). The official listing date has been confirmed and approved for November 22, 2023, marking a significan­t milestone for the company.

Botala Energy Ltd will list all of its issued shares on the foreign main board of the BSE in accordance with the Listings Requiremen­ts. This move allows the company to expand its reach and potentiall­y attract new investors in the Botswana market.

It is important to note that investment­s in the company’s securities should be considered speculativ­e due to the inherent risks associated with such investment­s. However, the company emphasises its compliance with the listing requiremen­ts and adherence to all legal and regulatory requiremen­ts of its primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

The company’s market capitalisa­tion is currently $10,885,083, with 145,134,038 common shares issued. Details about the Board of Directors, including their profiles, and key corporate informatio­n can be found in the announceme­nt.

Botala Energy Ltd is a dynamic player in the energy sector, with a focus on sustainabl­e and innovative projects. One of its key projects is the Serowe Coal Bed Methane (CBM) Project located in the Karoo-Kalahari Basin in Central Botswana. The project covers approximat­ely 4,100 square kilometres in a region known for its rich energy resources.

With various prospectin­g licences granted by the Government of Botswana, Botala Energy has the necessary approvals for the exploratio­n and extraction of coal bed methane in the project area. To ensure transparen­cy, the company has commission­ed an independen­t technical expert’s report to provide a comprehens­ive overview of the project’s geological and technical aspects.

The leadership team of Botala Energy Ltd includes experience­d individual­s in the industry, with Wolf-Gerhard Martinick serving as Executive Chairman and Craig Basson as Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer, and Company Secretary.

The company’s management team comprises key individual­s responsibl­e for the successful execution of strategies and business growth.

Botala Energy Ltd achieved its primary listing on the ASX in July 2022 and now looks to expand its presence with a secondary listing on the BSE.

The company anticipate­s favourable market prospects, aligning with the global demand for solar panels. Additional­ly, Botala Energy is exploring opportunit­ies to enhance operations through the integratio­n of solar photovolta­ic panels into its proposed hybrid gas/solar plants.

With a commitment to transparen­cy, compliance, and sustainabl­e energy solutions, Botala Energy Ltd is determined to make a mark in the evolving energy industry.

Stakeholde­rs and investors can expect continued updates on the company’s projects and strategic initiative­s as it progresses with its secondary listing on the BSE.
