Tethys’ objective is to build a diversified oil and gas exploration and production company, initially focused on Kazakhstan and Tajikistan in Central Asia, with a mixture of high potential exploration plays for longer term upside and asset growth, coupled with short–term cash flow projects.  Tethys hopes to generate returns for its shareholders principally through capital growth, and intends to take advantage of opportunities to acquire acreage and prospects suitable either for exploration and development by the Company, or for sale or farm–out to larger oil and gas companies at a suitable time
