PANTHEON RESOURCES PLC
Production Update
The Board of Pantheon resources ('Pantheon') announces that the company's
combined production on a working interest basis averaged 113.1 thousand cubic
feet a day ('mcfd') in February. This represents a near tripling in monthly
output from January and reflects the commissioning of a third field, Caddo.
Pantheon's historic monthly production is provided in Table 1.

Zebu (Pantheon 9.375%)
Zebu #1 was discovered in August 2006 and commenced production on September 29,
2006. The well is currently producing around 215 to 220 ('mcfd'). Zebu
discovered natural gas in two Frio sands. It is producing from the deeper zone
at around 4,280 feet ('ft'). The primary objective, which encountered natural
gas at around 3,750 ft, remains to be completed for production. The Joint
Venture intends to produce from the secondary zone until depleted and then
complete the primary zone higher up the well bore. The success has led the Joint
Venture to plan on drilling another Zebu well in 2007.
Mohawk (Pantheon 18.75%)
Mohawk #1 was discovered in October 2006 and brought onstream on December 1,
2006. It has been producing within a consistent 110 to 120 mcfd range since
start-up. Mohawk #1 encountered natural gas in both its primary and secondary
Frio objectives.
The success at Mohawk has led the Joint Venture to plan to drill another Mohawk
well. The Mohawk #2 will test a slightly smaller amplitude anomaly (30 acres) at
4,075 ft that is very similar to, but fault separated from the Mohawk #1
anomaly. As this is not subject to the farm-in terms, it would have a higher
value to Pantheon, if successful.
Caddo (Pantheon 18.75%)
Caddo #1 was discovered in October 2006 and brought onstream on February 8,
2007. Gross production has been averaging around 370 mcfd.
Caddo #1 encountered natural gas in a shallow Frio formation at around 4,470 ft.
The Caddo #1 discovery is particularly important. It is located in an area of
mutual interest that covers a large area where six other prospects exist. These
target comparable Yegua and Frio anomalies, but Miocene objectives are also
present in all of them
