Oregen Energy has announced the appointment of Christopher Pitman to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Concurrently, the Company announces the resignation of Ken Brophy from the Board, effective September 30, 2025. The Company thanks Mr. Brophy for his dedicated service and contributions to the Company and wishes him all the best in his future endeavors.

Christopher has been instrumental in leading and executing exploration and development projects across Africa having been the CEO of three private and public companies with assets in Africa. With more than four decades of hands-on experience, he has also worked with PGS on multi-client 2D/3D seismic campaigns, advanced geological-geophysical understanding and advised on resource delineation and structural risk. His work in African basins means he brings strong field-based experience navigating technical, operational and regulatory challenges in less-mature jurisdictions — a key advantage for our growth-oriented exploration investment strategy. Christopher will provide our board with seasoned perspective on license evaluation, seismic interpretation, reservoir modelling and the emerging frontier geology that we are targeting.

Mason Granger, CEO & Director commented, 
“Christopher brings deep technical evaluation and operational experience in the exploration and energy sector, which will support our strategic investments in oil & gas exploration. His extensive background with industry-leader PGS gives him insight into geophysical data acquisition and interpretation, while his geology background means he understands the subsurface risks and opportunities from the ground-up. Christopher’s appointment will further enhance our board’s ability to evaluate opportunities in prospective offshore blocks, and in risk-mitigation and value-creation in frontier regions like the Orange Basin.”

Christopher holds Bachelor of Science (BSc) from Prifysgol Aberystwyth University in Geology and a Masters (MSc) in Sedimentology from the University of Reading and is chartered as a Fellow of the Geological Society (FGS). He is a qualified person (QP) and competent person (CP) under both current mining and petroleum guidelines, reinforcing his credibility in technical disclosures.
