CMC Markets Plc, trading as CMC CapX, is the Company's placing agent in respect of the Placing.

A retail offer on the same terms as the Placing (the "Retail Offer" and, together with the Placing, the "Fundraising") will commence immediately following this Announcement and applications for this offer are expected to close in 3 days. Details of the Retail Offer will be announced seperately.

Funds raised pursuant to the Fundraising will be used to test the potential oil zone in the Wilson River-1 well and for general working capital.

Following Admission, the Company will have 4,401,759,108 New Ordinary Shares in issue.
