The Cabora Bassa project comprises the Mzarabani and Msasa gas and condensate prospects, which Invictus describes as "world-class multi-trillion ft3" plays. The project received environmental approval from Zimbabwean authorities in August 2020.

Invictus last month said it will raise A$5.5mn ($3.98mn) to support the development of the Cabora Bassa project.
