Naath – means "people“ from the
language of the Nuer Nilotic nation
in South Sudan.
Overview
Republic of South Sudan, became an independent state on
9 July 2011. It is a landlocked country located in the Sahel
region of northeastern Africa. It is also part of the North
Africa UN sub-region. Its current capital is Juba, which is
also its largest city. South Sudan is bordered by Ethiopia to
the east, Kenya to the southeast, Uganda to the south, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo to the southwest, the
Central African Republic to the west, and Sudan to the
north.
The official language is English and Christianity
is the major religion. The economy is primarily
driven by the production and exportation of
oil. Oil revenues constitute 98% of the government’s
budget, according to the Ministry of Finance and Economic
Planning and this has amounted to more than $8 billion in
revenue since the signing of the peace agreement.

Oil and Gas Overview
South Sudan’s oil reserve is currently estimated at 6.5 billion
barrels of recoverable crude oil, placing it in the top ten countries
with greatest proven petroleum reserves, above other sub-Sahara
African States in the world petroleum reserves ranking. Current
production is approximately 400,000 bpd.
The source rocks are the Lower Cretaceous lacustrine shales,
whereas reservoirs and seals are both Palaeogene and Upper
Cretaceous. Heavy to light crude oils and gas have been
discovered in the Palaeogene and only light crude oils and gas in
the Upper Cretaceous producing zones.
The dominant oil production is in the Melut basin in Unity State,
South Sudan and is in the Palaeogene zone.
3
Oil and Gas Market
South Sudan’s oil industry is dominated by pacific rim
companies. Oil is exported via pipelines to a small refinery
in Khartoum and a larger one at Port Sudan with the
balance of crude exported from Port Sudan South Sudan is
an importer of refined petroleum products.

OPPORTUNITY: Oil Concessions by Providing Power
C&S has entered into negotiations to provide a number of electricity
generating sets (diesel fueled) to certain cities in South Sudan.
The concept is to provide gen-sets (0.5 MW to 1.0 MW) to seven cities
provided:
a) power purchase agreements with the governments are obtained
b) some oil exploration concessions could be obtained, the size of the
concessions determined by the number of gen-sets that are provided.
5
Opportunity: Oil Concessions by Providing Mini-refineries
Naath has entered into negotiations with the government to provide refinery
capacity for South Sudan.
The initial program is to acquire and install two mini-refineries that would only
process diesel fuel while returning the unused crude to the source. Further, the
plan is to develop a larger refinery (20,000 barrels/day) to be located at the
southern terminus of the existing pipeline that goes through North Sudan to a
refinery on the Red Sea. The negotiations with South Sudan are that we will build
refineries provided:
a) sufficient crude from existing production provided for the refineries and
b) Naath to have some oil concessions in BLK 7 or BLK B to develop its own crude.
Naath has retained Stefan Kmetovic, P.Eng., (Petro-Mont Technical Services Inc.) as
the refinery consultant.
6
Opportunity – Mineral Concession
The Ministry of Mines has granted Naath exclusive rights to
explore/develop certain properties identified as prospective
by the government. We have identified the most promising
areas for initial exploration which are in the SW and SE of
South Sudan.
Naath is in the process of selecting a geologist and/or firm to
joint-venture and explore these mineral targets. Paul
Sarjeant, P.Geo. of Toronto has been retained as Naath’s
consulting geologist to supervise this program.
7
Opportunity: Fuel Distribution
Naath is government licensed to deliver diesel/petrol/kerosene fuel
to South Sudan. Fuel is sold to government agencies, the United
Nations and to the private sector. To date, the fuel source is from
depost/suppliers in Kenya.
Naath has now delivered several diesel tankers of 31,000 litres each,
along with some kerosene.
The diesel program is to ultimately have one tanker per day delivering
fuel from Kenya to South Sudan. Naath has installed its own storage
tanks in Juba and is in the process of purchasing its own truck tankers.
The target is to bring in 2,000,000 litres per month.
