The note carries interest of 10% per annum, and is convertible into ordinary shares at the option of YA Global until 6 September 2014, after which the loan notes become repayable.  The price of conversion will be determined by a formula equal to 97% of the six lowest daily volume weighted average prices during 12 consecutive trading days beginning on the first trading day immediately following the delivery of a notice of conversion by the bondholder. 

The proceeds of the Convertible Note will be applied towards exploration in Sudan and working capital for the Company.
