Correction re. Murchison Project summary

Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: MSMN) advises it has been made aware of and noted an error in the "About Mosman" abridged summary section in RNS announcements with regard to  the description of the Company's Murchison project, which is located on the South Island of New Zealand. Since 6 October 2015 the "About Mosman" summary section of the Company's RNS announcements, where included, has incorrectly referred to the Murchison project as a "contingent" resource rather than the correct terminology of a "prospective" resource which it had previously been correctly described as.

Mosman would like to clarify that it has correctly referred to the Murchison project resource as prospective in all other communication including its 2015 Annual Report (published on 18 December 2015), on its website (www.mosmanoilandgas.com), in presentations dated May 2015 to July 2016, and interviews, for the avoidance of any further doubt. 

The RNS announcement released by the Company on 29 April 2015 in relation to the Murchison project correctly summarises the prospective resource which was determined by the Company's consultant SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd ("SRK").

Since the SRK report was issued, the Company has not carried out sufficient work to change the status of the resource and shareholders have previously been advised that Mosman is currently awaiting results from the recent LiDAR work before progressing further work on the project. At no stage has the project been drilled by Mosman and thus the prospective resource has not changed in status.

The Board apologises for this error and would like to clarify that this was an administrative error and that it has now implemented further verification processes for all copy before release.
