Polo Resources Limited (AIM: POL), the natural resources investment company with interests in oil, gold, coal, copper, phosphate, iron and vanadium, is pleased to report that Hibiscus Petroleum Berhad (HIBI: MK) ("Hibiscus") has received unanimous shareholder approval and conditional consents and approvals from the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change of the United Kingdom Government in respect of the proposed acquisition by Anasuria Hibiscus UK Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Hibiscus, of 50 per cent of the interests held by Shell U.K. Limited, Shell EP Offshore Ventures Limited and Esso Exploration and Production UK Limited in the relevant licenses of the Anasuria cluster of oil and gas fields in the UK Central North Sea for a total cash consideration of US$52.5 million.
