<strong>Exclusive</strong> Economic Zone<br />

Overview<br />

<strong>PGS</strong> has entered into an<br />

exclusive agreement with the<br />

Government of São Tomé and<br />

Príncipe ("STP”) to assist in the<br />

promotion of the offshore<br />

acreage. <strong>PGS</strong> will also assist<br />

the STP Government with<br />

marketing the exploration<br />

opportunities and prospectivity<br />

of the São Tomé and Príncipe<br />

Geological Setting<br />

São Tomé and Príncipe are<br />

volcanic islands lying in the<br />

Atlantic Ocean approx. 200 km<br />

south of the Nigerian coast.<br />

Their territorial waters are large,<br />

encompassing fairly deep<br />

waters but with a sediment<br />

cover that is unusually thick for<br />

such oceanic regions. This thick<br />

sediment cover represents the<br />

distal prodeltaic sediments of<br />

the Cretaceous Ogooué Delta of<br />

Gabon and the Niger Delta, the<br />

main sediment outlet during the<br />

Tertiary.<br />
