(the \"Company\" or \"ReconAfrica\") (TSXV: RECO) (OTCQX: RECAF) (\n \n Frankfurt\n \n : 0XD) announces results of the Makandina 8-2 well, spudding of the Wisdom 5-1 well, results of the Phase 2 seismic program and a new Environmental Compliance Certificate for up to an additional 1500 kms of seismic.\n \n \n \n Drilling Operations\n \n \n \n Makandina 8-2 Well\n \n \n The 8-2 well which was spud on 25\n \n th\n \n of\n \n June 2022\n \n and reached total depth on the 15\n \n th\n \n of\n \n August 2022\n \n , has further confirmed the presence of a working petroleum system at a location 6.5 kms and greater from previous wells. This well encountered intervals rich with gas (Methane) and hydrocarbon gas liquids (\"HGLs\"), specifically, Ethane, Butane and Propane as well as smaller quantities of heavier hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon gas/HGLs were sampled in Isotubes during drilling and analysed by GeoMark Research (\n \n Houston, TX\n \n ), revealing the presence of thermogenic hydrocarbons, which were generated from organic matter under high temperatures. Between the depths of 1300 and 1335 meters below surface, a significant proportion of these samples were HGLs. Additionally, hydrocarbon gases were recorded in various intervals between\n \n 838m\n \n and\n \n 1807m\n \n , and between\n \n 1990m\n \n and\n \n 2058m\n \n , the total depth of the well. Although geologically a successful well, economic accumulations of hydrocarbons were not encountered, very likely due to the absence of a trap or a four-way dip closure.*\n \n \n The well produced additional valuable geological information intersecting the predicted Karoo stratigraphy (rocks 180-310 million years old) and pre-Karoo stratigraphy, which included promising source, seal and reservoir rock lithologies. Cuttings samples were collected at\n \n 5m\n \n...
