All funding activities, including the Company's proposed AIM-listed vehicle Ultimate Sustainable Energy ('USE'), were placed on hold due to delays as a result of EGM difficulties where shareholders were unable to cast their votes, which was partially resolved at the most recent EGM (see RNS dated 16 March 2023).

Louis Coetzee, CEO of Kibo Energy, says: "We are pleased with the overall progress during the last quarter, and we look forward to updating the market during the course of Q3 on a number of exciting initiatives currently underway on both operational as well as corporate level".
