Share Placement
Mosman Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: MSMN) the oil exploration, development, and production company, advises that it has today raised £300,000 (before expenses) by way of a placing of new shares.

Each two shares will have an attached warrant exercisable at 0.07p per exercisable within two years of the date of issue of the shares.
Funding and Use of Proceeds
Mosman continues to vigorously pursue its clearly stated objectives.
Considerable time has been spent by management on the Cinnabar project in the USA where 1.646 million boe of Reserves has been established. Detailed reviews of existing and new data are now complete, and the plan is to proceed to optimise the current production from the three existing wells and then plan the next well which will be located on the recently leased acreage.
Each existing well now has a sound forward plan that will require minor additional infrastructure and some workovers that is expected to occur over the next 90 days.
In Australia, progress continues on securing all required approvals in order to progress exploration activity at EP 145.
Mosman's wholly owned subsidiary, Adagio Resources Ltd, is now incorporated and planning for the potential IPO continues, prior to the final Board decision and placing the matter before shareholders.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the placing and its current cash of cAUD $660k as at 30 June 2023 for the following:
1. Management of EP 145 activities including soil and water sampling for hydrogen and helium; Central Land Council annual fees; and another Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority approval process fee required ahead of future seismic acquisition (subject to additional funding).
2. Additional investment at Cinnabar to provide gas lift to optimise production at existing wells.
3. Additional costs of workovers to optimise production at Cinnabar wells.
4. Expenditure related to the new lease area near Cinnabar including lease costs and technical work to identify preferred drilling locations.
5. Working capital requirements.
