AUSTRALIAN energy firm, Invictus Energy Limited, has recovered hydrocarbons at its second drill site in north-east of Zimbabwe, indicating further natural gas and oil deposits.

The second drilling site, called Mukuyu-2, was identified after previous machine breakdowns last December, forced the company to abandon its drilling efforts at its first identified drilling site, Mukuyu-1.

The project is in the Muzarabani district of Mashonaland Central province, located in the north-eastern part of Zimbabwe.
