(TOGA) which includes EEGC, Alpha Prospects PLC (UK) and Derlite Limited (Hong Kong) as main shareholders. TOGA has today applied to the Tasmanian State Government for exploration license ERA 981. On the basis of independent geological reports that have evaluated the extensive USD $65 million seismic, drilling and geoscience exploration carried out previously, TOGA is confident of discovering commercial petroleum and helium during its planned exploration and drilling program. TOGA expects to find enough natural gas that will ensure a stable energy supply for the next 60 or more years and Tasmania will, then no longer, have to rely on climate dependant hydroelectricity and environmentally damaging and unreliable coal-generated power from the Australian mainland."

“I am very pleased that having acquired all the background data and analysis that we have found a supportive partner which will fund the drilling of the identified areas. Economic conditions at the commencement of the project, almost two years ago, included a price of oil at less than the half the current level, so the potential value of the project is far greater than anticipated.”
