Operations Update

Mayan Energy Ltd (AIM: MYN), the AIM listed oil and gas company, announces an update on its Forest Hill assets in Wood County, Texas where it holds a 75% working interest ('WI') and 52.5% net revenue interest ('NRI') in two oil and gas leases.

Forest Hill forms part of the Company's portfolio which includes a 60% WI with a 45% NRI net in the 105.7 gross acre Stockdale Oil Fields in Wilson County, a 60% WI and 45% NRI in three horizontal and two vertical Austin Chalk wells in Gonzalez County, Texas and a 100% WI and 75% NRI in the 1,520 net acre Zink Ranch lease in Osage County, Oklahoma. A full update on these and the Company's investments in Deloro Energy, which provides it with exposure to the producing the Asphalt Ridge heavy oil sands project being developed by TSX listed Petroteq Energy Inc. will be published the week commencing 24 September 2018.

In accordance with its AIM rule 11 obligations the Company advises that it is currently awaiting approval from the Wood County Magistrate to obtain lease right of way access into the Forest Hill property. Upon approval, which following counsel the Board anticipates will be forthcoming in the near term, Mayan will be able to immediately resume production on the leases, which have six producing wells and 225 other local wells with 20-acre spacing and good reservoir characteristics.

Mayan Executive Chairman Charlie Wood said, "We look forward to providing a full update on the portfolio next week outlining where we are in terms of production and development in both Texas and Oklahoma. We believe the delay at Forest Hill will be resolved this quarter and with production coming on stream across the portfolio, a strengthening of our operation capabilities with the contracting of the likes of Derrick Oilfield Services, who are on an incentive driven package at Zink Ranch, we believe we can generate strong returns from the current asset base. Importantly, with cost cutting, operational breakeven is in the region of 80 barrels per day and in tandem with the realisable value of our investment portfolio which stands at c.$1.5m, over and above our existing cash resources, we do not anticipate the need to utilise the market in the near term."
