Winston Score History

The full picture

Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. is a Canadian oil and gas exploration company focused on finding oil and natural gas in Africa. Its main asset is a large exploration license covering roughly 8.5 million acres in the Kavango Basin, which spans Botswana and Namibia. The company is in the early exploration stage, meaning it has not yet produced or sold any oil or gas commercially.

Because it is still exploring, the company currently earns no revenue and spends money drilling wells and running geological studies. It is funded primarily through equity raises and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with all field operations in southern Africa. The biggest risk the company faces is that exploration-stage companies frequently fail to find oil in commercially viable quantities, and even a confirmed discovery would require years of additional investment before generating any income.
