VANCOUVER, BC, May 11, 2026 /CNW/ - Stamper Oil & Gas Corp. ("Stamper" or the "Company") (TSX-V: STMP) (US OTC: STMGF) (Germany: TMP0) is pleased to provide a corporate update highlighting continued industry validation across its offshore Namibia portfolio, the extension of Petroleum Exploration Licence ("PEL") 102, and ongoing technical and strategic advancement initiatives across the Company's key exploration licences, and a marketing update.
Grayson Andersen, Chief Executive Officer of Stamper, stated: "We continue to be encouraged by the increasing level of industry activity surrounding Stamper's offshore Namibia portfolio. The continued expansion of major international oil companies across the Orange, Walvis and Lüderitz Basins reinforces our view that Namibia remains one of the world's most attractive frontier exploration regions. With carried interests across multiple strategically positioned offshore licences, Stamper remains focused on advancing technical work programs and evaluating pathways to unlock shareholder value."
Continued Industry Validation of Multi-Basin Strategy
Stamper continues to see increasing industry validation of its multi-basin strategy across its offshore Namibia portfolio as major international oil companies expand activity in the Orange, Walvis and Lüderitz Basins adjacent to the Company's licences. BP is entering the Walvis Basin with a planned acquisition of PEL 97, PEL 99 and PEL 100. The planned acquisition by BP of acreage adjacent to PEL 106 further validates the emerging prospectivity of the Walvis Basin and highlights increasing industry interest in the region. Additionally, Petrobras has joined TotalEnergies in a planned acquisition of PEL 104 in the Lüderitz Basin, which sits adjacent to Stamper's PEL 102.
Stamper continues to advance technical work with its partners and make introductions to facilitate potential farm-out discussions on several key PELs, specifically on PEL 107 and PEL 106. On PEL 107 in the Orange Basin, industry remains encouraged by the progress of existing discoveries being appraised and delineated ahead of potential final investment decisions, including TotalEnergies' Venus discovery on PEL 56 and the Mopane discovery on PEL 83, where TotalEnergies has agreed to acquire an operated interest from Galp Energia. Additionally, Chevron's planned Nabba-1X exploration well on adjacent PEL 90 represents an important regional catalyst that may further enhance industry understanding of the prospectivity of the southern portion of Stamper's PEL 107.
Extension of PEL 102
The Company's 66.67% owned subsidiary, NASMAM Investments (Pty) Ltd., was informed by the Ministry of Industries, Mines and Energy ("MIME") that the Minister has granted approval to the operator, the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Pty) Ltd. ("NAMCOR"), on behalf of the joint venture partners, to extend the current Initial Exploration Period to October 7, 2026. Under the terms of the petroleum agreement, two additional, two-year exploration periods are available as are additional extension periods subject to MIME and other regulatory approval. The extension period was applied for July 3, 2025, approved on March 12, 2026, and received by Stamper on May 6, 2026.
The approval has been granted on the condition that the following work program commitments be carried out during the extension period:
- Planning the acquisition of 3D seismic data
- Determination of volumes associated with current Leads and Prospects
- Evaluation of prospectivity and updating the prospect portfolio
- Determination of prospect risk and geological chances of success
