"The [...] potential is further enhanced by the presence of condensate with the gas and by the Tanzanian Government's announcement last week that it has secured financing to build a 36-inch diameter gas pipeline from Mtwara, just 25 km away from the Ntorya-1 discovery, to Dar es Salaam."
Aminex shares were up 12% at 11:49.
