Max Petroleum, an oil and gas exploration and development company focused on Kazakhstan, is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Moss as a member of Max Petroleum's Advisory Committee and the appointment of Tom Randell as Director of Investor Relations.

Peter will replace James J. Emme on the Group's Advisory Committee who has resigned to focus on his other business commitments.

James A. Jeffs, Executive Co-Chairman, commented:

"We wish Peter and Jim all the best with their business opportunities outside of Max Petroleum. We are very pleased to be retaining Peter's talents on our Advisory Board and want to thank Jim for his support in putting together our prospect inventory and of our geotechnical team. We are pleased to welcome Tom into the organization to run investor relations, as he knows us well after serving as an advisor to Max Petroleum for several years at Merlin PR. "
