Commentary by PGI-NRI, PGS analysts:
The concessions under the joint venture agreement are for conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration, in particular for tight gas in Carboniferous and Permian formations. This news should be regarded as most positive considering previous involvement of Mr. John Buggenhagen in the award of exploration/appraisal concessions in the area Fore-Sudetic Monocline (subsequently transferred to San Leon plc) and his later involvement on the part of San Leon plc in the acquisition of the concessions that were initially held by Aurelian Oil & Gas.
