Northcote Energy Ltd ('Northcote' or 'the Company')

Appointment of Executive Vice President - Mexico

Northcote (AIM: NCT), an onshore US oil and gas exploration and production company, is pleased to announce that Mr. Abraham Achar has joined the Company as full time Executive Vice President - Mexico. In this role, Mr. Achar will lead and develop business development activities in Mexico, which has recently reopened its vast energy sector to international companies.

Mr. Achar brings a wealth of relationships and experience in both Mexico and the USA that will open up new opportunities for Northcote. Mr. Achar is a Mexican citizen with an impressive network of governmental, corporate and investor contacts covering an extensive range of industries in-country and in the USA. These have been gained through a range of high profile roles held throughout his career which have been predominantly aimed at promoting foreign investment into Mexico across the construction, textile & fabrics, hospitality, mining, energy, oil and gas, coatings and transportation sectors on behalf of the Mexican Government.

Northcote Managing Director Randall Connally said, "As demonstrated by our exposure to Mexico through our agreement with MX Oil plc, we believe that Mexico holds significant opportunities to generate value which is worthy of additional exploration and we are excited that Mr. Achar has agreed to join us in this endeavour. Our initial focus will be on the oil field services sector and on facilitating relationships between medium sized US oilfield services companies and counterparts in Mexico. We are also looking at opportunities to joint venture with companies whereby Northcote will directly participate in projects in Mexico. As an entrepreneurial energy company we are always looking for the best opportunities to generate returns for our investors and we look forward to being part of what I believe will be one of the most exciting economic development stories in the world over the next decade."
