In July 2012, National Oil Company Petrоleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) and GPB GR established joint venture Petrozamora S.A. to

develop 2 onshore mature oilfields Lagunillas and Bachaquero. GPB GR entered the project being a strategic partner for

PDVSA in the area of financing and technical expertise of joint operations. GPB GR and PDVSA experts intensified

collaboration on new wells drilling, steam injection program, power supply maintenance and enhancing its reliability,

purchasing processes optimization to stabilize output and further increase fields’ production and raise its efficiency. New

sophisticated program for polymer injection is under study and represents an advanced production alternative to be

implemented in future.

In November 2013, Gazprombank (Russia), GPB GR, Petrozamora and PDVSA signed an oil prepayment facility of up to

1 billion US dollars to finance the investment program and operational activity.

In April 2015, National Assembly of Venezuela authorized Petrozamora to extend its portfolio with 4 offshore mature oilfields in Lake

Maracaibo. Following this consolidation, in July 2015, Petrozamora doubled production and tripled remaining reserves.

New assets represent a new growth prospective for Petrozamora in applying and expanding best practices in production and development

of mature oil fields as well as capitalizing on synergy effects with neighboring onshore fields of the joint venture.

In July 2014, Ethiopian Ministry of Mines and GPB GR signed Petroleum Production Sharing Agreement.

In January 2015, Bell Geospace, a world leader in Gravity Gradiometry, started Airborne FTG & Magnetic Survey in the Gewane-El Wiha

license area and completed interpretation of data in September 2015. Considering the survey results, GPB GR specialists

defined prospective areas for 2D Seismic Data Acquisition.

In April 2016, BGP Inc. (CNPC Group) completed 2D Seismic Acquisition. Petrotrace (Russia) was responsible for seismic data

interpretation works. During the assay the basin near Lake Cadabassa was determined as a potential area for further more

detailed seismic works. Correlation of the collected data with airborne gravity survey was tested and promising area defined in

the northern part of the block for expansion of the seismic studies to determine possible continuations of the Lake Cadabassa

basin and identification of potentially promising sites in the northern part of the license area. GPB GR continues to analyze the

geological data gathered.

In February 2011, Nigerien Ministry of Minerals and Energy and GPB GR signed Mining Convention for exploring uranium in the Toulouk-

2 and Toulouk-4 license areas. The first stage of exploration works, completed in 2014 with 328 holes drilled and ore samples

examined, aimed to estimate assets structure and potential volume of reserves (uranium and concomitant minerals: copper,

silver, phosphorus and rare-earth elements).

In September 2015, Wardell Armstrong International (WAI), a well-known international independent appraisal company in mineral

resource projects and mining area, completed its audit report on the project under international (JORC) standards, stating that

inferred resources of uranium are estimated at 16.8 million lbs (or 20 million lbs in the U3O8 equivalent). In the opinion of WAI,

the Toulouk 2 & 4 licences have potentially significant uranium and possibly copper mineralization. In February 2016, WAI

issued Scoping Study, including prefeasibility analysis of the asset development.

In 2016, additional exploration works were performed to improve surface mineralization assessment. Furthermore, the in-situ leaching and

heap leaching production methods were being tested.

In 2017, the Group expects to obtain the new license type “Marginal deposit” with merger of both blocks – Toulouk-2 and Toulouk-4.

Process optimization and cost saving strategies became the two underlying trends during another turbulent year in the global commodity markets.

Oil and gas project in Venezuela remained the main focus of GPB GR’s operations as we continued to sustain and improve financial performance of

JV Petrozamora S.A. We went on to further integration of offshore producing assets acquired in mid 2015. In spite of the general oil price

slump, this will enable us to secure substantional dividend cash flows in the upcoming years for the future diversification of the Group’s

business.

On the other hand, responding to the difficult economic times, we continue to reduce our costs and take tough (but balanced and prompt) decisions on

the projects we consider insufficiently competitive or affordable in present conditions. In late 2016, the Group had to reevaluate its share in the

green-field gold mining project in Mali since the prospects for further work were assessed as no longer meeting our risk profile.

Eventually, the combination of challenging investments and cost-cutting strategy along with risk avoidance and timely project exits provided stable

financial performance and a 41% net assets growth in 2016.

We will concentrate on more profitable pillars of our business to strengthen the basis for high returns to the shareholders. In the meantime, we are

constantly searching for opportunities to diversify our current portfolio with potential high-yield projects all over the globe.
