Block Energy Plc ( (GB:BLOE) ) just unveiled an update.

Block Energy has completed the farm-out of its XIQ licence (Project IV) in Georgia to Aspect Georgia, a subsidiary of US-based Aspect Energy, following approval from the Georgian government. Under the deal, Aspect Georgia will fully fund an estimated US$95 million staged work programme, including seismic acquisition, exploration and appraisal drilling, and early production facilities, allowing Block to be fully carried with no capital exposure while Aspect can earn up to a 75% working interest, with an option to increase to 92.5% for additional consideration. The programme will target the Martkopi Terrace prospect, which has significant independently assessed prospective resources, and management views the transaction as a material milestone in its partner-led growth model, providing external validation of its assets, preserving upside for Block and offering positive read-across to its adjacent acreage and other Georgian projects, with seismic work expected to start in 2026.
