Abstract
Following Canada and Venezuela, Madagascar contains the third largest oil sand deposits in the world. These oil sand deposits are in sandstone beds directly onlapping onto the African basement. In close proximity to these bitumen deposits are large areas of heavy oil (14o to 16o API) in a block held with a 100% interest by Madagascar Oil.
