Invictus is opening one of the last untested large frontier rift basins in onshore Africa - the Cabora Bassa Basin – in northern Zimbabwe. The first high impact well, Mukuyu-1, came back agonisingly close to a discovery announcement and the company is now preparing its next move in this highly prospective basin. MD Scott MacMillan is here today to hopefully shed some light on the recent past as well as the near future of Invictus.
