Polo Resources Limited("Polo" or "the Company")

Signet Petroleum Limited - Investment Update

Net Asset Value Announcements

 

 

Polo Resources Limited (AIM: POL and BSX: POL), the natural resources investment company with interests in gold, oil and gas, coal and iron ore, today gives an investment update concerning Signet Petroleum Limited ("Signet"), the independent African oil exploration company in which the Company currently has a 46.94 per cent (previously 47.95 per cent) equity interest.

 

Signet reports that the strategic alternatives process, last commented on in Polo's announcement of 24th June 2013, is progressing well with a high level of participation from a broad spectrum of high quality potential bidders but that the process is taking longer than anticipated. The process, managed by First Energy Capital LLP and looking at strategic alternatives concerning Signet's African oil and gas asset portfolio, is contemplating a range of potential commercial outcomes at both the individual asset level and on a portfolio-wide basis. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

 

The Company also announces that, following a review, the Company will only announce its Net Asset Value twice each year with its annual and interim results but will make update announcements at other times if events occur which have a significant impact on the Company's investments.
