North Kelsey Planning Update

Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) advises that its application to extend the existing planning permission to drill the North Kelsey-1 exploration well was refused at today's meeting of the Lincolnshire County Council Planning Committee.

Commenting on the decision, Mark Abbott, Managing Director of Egdon Resources plc, said:

"The decision of the Planning Committee is disappointing given the clear current need for the UK to secure further indigenous supplies of energy to reduce its reliance on imports, the compelling case presented and the positive recommendation of Lincolnshire County Council's Planning Officer. Given this, we will bring forward an appeal against this decision without delay and will provide further updates in due course."

North Kelsey

The PEDL241 Licence Interests are:

Egdon Resources U.K. Limited 50% (Operator)

Union Jack Oil plc 50%

The North Kelsey Prospect has been mapped from 3-Dimensional seismic data and has potential for oil in up to four stacked conventional Carboniferous reservoir targets: the Chatsworth Grit, Beacon Hill Flags, Raventhorpe Sandstone and Santon Sandstone. Egdon has calculated the Prospective Resources to range from 4.66 million barrels up to 8.47 million barrels, with a Mean Resource volume of 6.47 million barrels.

For clarity the operations at the site will not involve the process of hydraulic "fracking" for shale gas or shale oil either now or in the future. This part of Lincolnshire does not have the specific rock-formation types that contain shale gas as confirmed by the British Geological Survey in 2013.
