                               Operations Update


Egdon Resources Plc ('Egdon' or 'the Company') is pleased to advise that the
BDF28 drilling rig has completed drilling operations at Waddock Cross-3 in
Dorset and is now mobilising to the Kirkleatham-4 wellsite in Cleveland where
drilling operations are expected to commence on or around Thursday 15 December.

At Waddock Cross-3, a 695 metre horizontal section was drilled and completed
with pre-drilled tubing through the Bridport Sandstone reservoir. The well was
drilled to a total depth of 1510 metres (661.5 metres true vertical depth). The
wellsite is now being prepared for an extended well test (EWT) using a pump-jack
(nodding donkey) which is expected to commence later in December.  Initial
results are expected to be known during January.

The Kirkleatham-4 well will target the Kirkleatham prospect which is located
beneath and to the west of the town of Redcar in Cleveland.  The structure was
originally tested by two wells in the mid 1940s, with testing producing
sub-commercial gas-flows in both wells from Permian age Zechstein carbonates.
Seismic data shows the potential to apply modern drilling and completion
techniques up-dip of both wells. The Kirkleatham-4 exploration well will test
for the presence of an effective gas reservoir in this up-dip area of the
structure.  Kirkleatham-4 will be drilled as a vertical well to a prognosed
depth of 900 m and is anticipated to take 15 days to drill.

Notes to the Editors:

Kirkleatham-4 is located in the PEDL068 licence (Kirkleatham-4, Westerdale-1) in
the Cleveland Basin where the Company holds a 20% working interest but is
carried for 10% of the first well, Kirkleatham-4, and also holds an option to
increase its interest to 25%. The Waddock Cross-3 well was drilled within the
PL090 in the Wessex Basin where the Company holds a 45% working interest.
