TOG UPDATE
Pre-Collar Well to be drilled
TXO plc, the AIM-listed oil and gas investment company, is
pleased to announce that Tasmania Oil & Gas Limited ("TOG") an
investee company, is to carry out further work on the licence
areas. This includes a limited drill programme, the cost of which
is fully funded.
TOG has informed TXO that it is to commence a drill programme at
the Lonnavale seep site within the Mt Lloyd structure on licence
EL14/2009. It is proposed that a 12" pre-collar well is drilled in
preparation for the larger three well programme, at the proven
still currently active Tasmanites sourced oil seep. The site, which
is only 15 kilometres (9.5 miles) South East from the two BHP
Exploration (BHP) fully cored stratigraphic wells, intersects the
full section of the Late Carboniferous Quamby Mudstone (identical
to West Texas). This section includes the interbedded Tasmanite oil
shale, which contains the Tasmanites Algal cyst (identified in West
Texas within the older Texas Barnett shale that has the same marine
algal species as the Tasmanites) that was drilled on the North Bank
of the Styx River by BHP. Drilling contractors have been contacted
and TOG is awaiting formal quotes.
Senergy (GB) Ltd which prepared the recent Competent Persons
Report ("CPR") estimated Total Mean Recoverable Prospective
Resource (ETMRP Resource) of the Bellevue and Thunderbolt
structures within the current EL14/2009 to be 2.7 Trillion Cubic
Feet (TCF) of gas or in terms of oil, 508 Million Barrels (0.5
Billion Barrels) of Oil Equivalent (MMBOE). TOG subsequently
engaged Senergy to work on an Economic Evaluation of the Bellevue
and Thunderbolt ETMRP Resources, based upon the CPR results, the
Net Present Value and Monetary Value figures.
TXO notes the recent announcement made by Empire Corporation
International ("Empire"), a shareholder in TOG, following the
lodgement of an 8K filing in the United States.

Tim Baldwin, Chairman TXO plc, stated:
"It is good news that progress is being made on all fronts by
TOG: the CPR was positive, the Empire court case is moving forward,
work is commencing on site and we can look forward to the results
of the additional work that both Synergy and an independent analyst
are preparing which will give an up to date valuation."
