Pursuant to the Agreement, all the pending legal proceedings were withdrawn providing a pathway for the proposed sale of GSPC's 55% interest in Cambay.

In this regard, the Company advises that Oilex and GSPC are in advanced discussions where it is proposed for Oilex to acquire GSPC's 55% participating interest in Cambay. Oilex also advises that it is in advanced discussions with third parties to provide finance, including working capital, to Oilex should this occur.
The Company advises that the discussions have not reached completion and there can be no certainty that any agreement will be reached. Further announcements will be made as new information comes to hand.
