The Company believes that the prospects represent low to moderate geological risk with relatively low drilling costs.

· Inner Moray Firth (Licence P2478) - 36% Working Interest

Dunrobin Prospect

§ Estimated prospective gross Pmean * recoverable resource of 173 Mbbls of oil

§ Scoping Pmean economics suggest a gross NPV10 of £1,350 million, (£486 million net to Reabold) based on, inter alia, medium gravity oil and a US$60/bbl oil price

§ Initial scoping indicative of low drilling cost at £7 million gross

Golspie Prospect

Notes to Editors

Reabold Resources plc is an investing company investing in the exploration and production ("E&P") sector and has a diversified portfolio of assets in upstream oil & gas projects. Reabold aims to create value from each project by investing in undervalued, low-risk, near-term projects and by identifying a clear exit plan prior to investment. The Company's investing policy is to acquire direct and indirect interests in exploration and producing projects and assets in the natural resources sector, and consideration is currently given to investment opportunities anywhere in the world.

Reabold's long term strategy is to re-invest capital made through its investments into larger projects in order to grow the Company. Reabold aims to gain exposure to assets with limited downside and high potential upside, capitalising on the value created between the entry stage and exit point of its projects. The Company invests in projects that have limited correlation to the oil price.

Reabold has a highly-experienced management team, who possess the necessary background, knowledge and contacts to carry out the Company's strategy.
