- The TOP commits the company to detailed geological, geophysical and engineering studies in 2026, a 3D seismic acquisition by end‑2027, and drilling of two wells by end‑2029.
- Successful completion of the work program will convert the KCA to a 20‑year production licence, giving CanCambria 100 % working interest in a strategic European gas asset.
