Egdon Resources plc (AIM:EDR) is pleased to advise that the Company is to be offered 11 blocks and part-blocks in the second Tranche of the UK 14th Onshore Oil and Gas Licensing Round as announced today by the Oil and Gas Authority (“OGA”). These are in addition to the 7 blocks and part-blocks the Company was offered in the first Tranche as advised in August 2015. The OGA will now progress towards issuing Petroleum Exploration and Development Licences (“PEDLs”) over the blocks offered in the two Tranches.

In the 14^th Round as a whole, Egdon has been offered interests in a total of 18 blocks and part blocks which will translate into 9 new PEDLs. The new licences will cover a total area of approximately 1126 square kilometres (278,220 acres).  This represents a significant proportion of the blocks for which Egdon applied.  The new blocks to be offered are located in the East Midlands Petroleum Province and the Cleveland Basin and expand the Company’s acreage and opportunity base within these two core areas providing a mix of new, conventional and unconventional resource opportunities.
