Australian indie expands Gambian interests
Far is seeking new partners to advance developments
ASX-listed Far has bought out Malaysian NOC Petronas’ remaining stakes in two blocks offshore Gambia. Far held 50pc of blocks A2 and A5, with Petronas’ PC Gambia subsidiary owning the rest. The Australian independent now owns 100pc of both Gambian blocks. However, development may still be some way off.
