EP-145 update

EPA-155 update

Mosman's wholly owned subsidiary company Oilco Limited ("Oilco") is the Applicant for the exploration permit 155.

Traditional Owners have agreed to progress negotiations which are being handled by the farm-in partner Georgina Energy PLC (GEX).
Andy Carroll, Chief Executive Officer of Mosman, said: "We are pleased with the progress being made across both these projects in Australia, which are cornerstones of our exploration portfolio.
