Monthly Production and OBA Throughput Update

Amerisur Resources Plc, the oil and gas producer and explorer focused on South America, is pleased to provide unaudited production from the Platanillo Field and OBA throughput data for the month of February 2017 (the "Period").

Production

· Total production was 119,334 barrels of oil ("BO") during the Period.

· Average daily production was 4,262 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") during the Period.

· Peak daily production was 4,337 bopd during the Period.

OBA Export

· Total export volume was 99,503 BO during the Period.

· Average daily throughput was 3,554 bopd during the Period.

· Peak daily throughput was 4,011 bopd during the Period.

Since 1 March OBA export volumes have averaged 4,113 BOPD, reflecting growing efficiency within the transport system. The Company continues with the negotiation of the construction of the re-pumping station Chiritza with Petroamazonas EP and the engineering studies of the Victor Hugo Ruales export system and other downstream opportunities, aimed at enhancing throughput capacity.

This data will vary month on month as development, appraisal and exploration operations continue, and also due to the factors involved in operating in the Putumayo region of Colombia. These factors include inclement weather, social issues with drilling and oil transportation and planned and unplanned shut downs for technical works undertaken among others. This data has not yet been approved by the Colombian Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (ANH) or national customs and tax authorities DIAN and may be subject to revision.
