CHEETAH ENERGY RESOURCES CORPORATION

What CHEETAH ENERGY RESOURCES CORPORATION does

Cheetah Energy Resources Corp. is a privately financed Canadian upstream oil and gas company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. Its sole strategic focus is the acquisition and development of proven oil and gas fields in the Doseo basin of southern Chad, Central Africa — specifically assets that were discovered by major oil companies (including Exxon) and later relinquished back to the state because their size was considered too modest for majors. The company positions itself as a small, agile operator that applies creative development strategies to stranded oilfields, leveraging a leadership team with more than 50 years of combined African and North American upstream experience (notably including CEO Alain Mizelle's prior role at Energy Africa/Tullow and involvement with the >2 billion barrel Ceiba-Okoume discovery).

The business model is pre-revenue and centered on production-sharing arrangements with the Chadian government and national oil company. The go-to-market is sales-led: phase one contemplates trucking produced crude directly to existing (former Exxon) facilities at Doba for processing and sale, while a phase-two Doseo-Salamat pipeline — to be funded, built, and operated by an unnamed midstream partner — has engineering studies already completed. There is no proprietary technology platform disclosed; the underlying asset is the resource base itself, estimated at 7.1 billion barrels of oil and 13 Tcf of gas (risked technically recoverable) per the US EIA's 2015 basinwide study, with 178 Bbbls and 165 Tcf in risked prospective shale resources in place. No customers have been signed, no production volumes have been disclosed, and capital is currently raised privately with a planned listing on the TSX Venture Exchange to fund development.

Operationally, Cheetah has four named executives and directors (Michael C. Judson as Chairman, Alain Mizelle as President & CEO, David A. Johnson as Director, and Robert Kramberger as VP Investor Relations), no disclosed institutional shareholders, no subsidiaries, no patents, and no certifications. Distribution is single-channel and single-country at present (trucking within Chad), with sustainability framed as adherence to local regulations, internationally recognized environmental conventions, and a stated net-zero greenhouse-gas ambition. The investment thesis rests entirely on monetizing a multi-billion-barrel technically recoverable resource in a frontier jurisdiction via a staged, low-capex trucking entry followed by midstream partnership — a high-execution-risk pre-revenue upstream story.

Direct peers

• Reconnaissance Energy Africa: Junior exploration company listed in Canada with assets in Namibia and Botswana (Kavango Basin). Comparable small-cap Africa-focused upstream with frontier exploration and pre-production profile.
• Delonex Energy: Africa-focused exploration and development company with assets in Ethiopia and Kenya. Comparable small-cap Africa-focused upstream operator with similar pre-production asset profile.
• Canadian Overseas Petroleum (Corcel): Canadian-listed E&P focused on acquiring and developing upstream oil assets in Africa (notably Nigeria). Mirrors Cheetah Energy's model of a small Canadian platform pursuing African upstream opportunities with prior IOC-discovered assets.
• Orca Exploration Group: Africa-focused upstream E&P with operating assets in Tanzania (Songo Songo gas) and pan-African exploration. Comparable small-cap public upstream company operating hydrocarbons in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Impact Oil & Gas: Africa-focused exploration company with major exploration acreage offshore South Africa and West Africa. Closely comparable as a privately/held Africa-focused upstream vehicle pursuing large-scale resources in similar geographies.
• Panoro Energy: Africa-focused E&P with production and development assets in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Tunisia. Closely comparable as a small-cap pure-play African upstream operator with assets in the same West African/Central African play fairway.
• Africa Energy Corp: TSX-listed small-cap E&P focused on exploration and development in Africa (notably South Africa's Block 11B/12B and Namibia). Highly comparable to Cheetah Energy in business model — small, Africa-focused, publicly listed upstream operator pursuing high-impact assets.
• Tower Resources: AIM-listed upstream E&P focused on African assets (Cameroon, South Africa, Namibia). Comparable small-cap African upstream operator pursuing high-impact exploration and appraisal opportunities across the continent.

Broad incumbents

• Aker Energy: Africa-focused upstream operator (Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire) backed by the Aker group. Comparable broad incumbent offering overlapping upstream capabilities in West Africa, with greater financial and technical resources.
• Tullow Oil: Major West African E&P operator (formerly Energy Africa Ltd, where CEO Mizelle worked). Directly comparable regional operator with extensive acreage in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Gabon; illustrates the major-company benchmark the Cheetah Energy team is intimately familiar with.
