Placing raises £2.925m

The Company is pleased to announce that it has raised £2.925 million before expenses (the "Placing") through the issue of 19,500,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") to institutional investors at a price of 15 pence per Placing Share. The Placing was organised by the Company's broker, Cenkos Securities plc.

The net proceeds of the Placing will primarily be used to facilitate the Company's immediate planned activity in western Newfoundland, which includes purchasing additional production equipment for the Garden Hill South site to enable the Company to move quickly into the production phase once regulatory approval is secured. The PaP#1-ST#3 well continues to flow on a 24 hour basis, with additional on-site personnel already hired to cope with the increase in activity level. To free up storage on site, the oil is being sold to North Atlantic Refining Ltd. at a price benchmarked to WTI. 

Other uses for the funds include:

·; participating in the 27th Seaward Licensing Round organised by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), pursuant to the strategic partnership entered into with Advanced Buoy Technology (ABTechnology) Ltd;

·; further evaluation of the portion of the Green Point oil shale play on PL2002-01 and EL1116;

·; continuing with the prospecting programme in County Clare, Ireland; and

·; assessing other oil and gas opportunities that the Company have identified.

The Placing is being carried out utilising the Company's current authority from its shareholders to issue shares for cash on a non pre-emptive basis. The Placing Shares being issued will represent approximately 15.5 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company, as enlarged by the Placing (the "Enlarged Issued Share Capital").

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares, which will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue, to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 25 April 2012.

The Enlarged Issued Share Capital will be 125,673,582 Ordinary Shares and the Company does not currently hold any shares in treasury. This figure of 125,673,582 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Alan Minty, CEO of Enegi, commented:

"We are enthused at the level of support for the Company demonstrated by institutional investors through their participation in the Placing and these funds provide a solid foundation from which immediate planned activity will be implemented."
