Update on development of the Oza field, Nigeria

San Leon, the independent oil and gas production, development and exploration company focused on Nigeria, notes the announcement made by Decklar Resources Inc. ("Decklar") in Canada.  San Leon has a 11.5% shareholding in Decklar Petroleum Limited ("DPL"), the local subsidiary of Decklar operating in Nigeria, and has also made a US$5.5 million loan to DPL, via 10% per annum unsecured subordinated loan notes.

Part of the text of Decklar's announcement is set out below:

"Calgary, Alberta -- Decklar Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DKL) (OTCQX: DLKRF) (FSE: A1U1) (the "Company" or "Decklar")

is pleased to announce the initial successful shipments of crude oil via trucks from the Oza Oil Field to the Umugini Pipeline Infrastructure Limited ("UPIL") crude handling facilities.

Decklar and its co-venturer Millenium Oil & Gas Company Limited ("Millenium") have successfully trucked approximately 4,000 barrels of crude oil from storage tanks at the Oza Oil Field to the UPIL crude handling facilities, from which the oil will then be transferred to the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited ("SPDC") Joint Venture Forcados Oil Export Terminal via the Umugini Pipeline.

The trucks continue to be loaded from crude oil storage tanks at the Oza site that hold approximately 22,000 barrels of oil. During an initial trial trucking period, a reduced volume of crude oil was shipped by a small convoy of trucks to evaluate possible logistics and security issues and to determine optimum routes and infrastructure requirements. The initial trial period for trucking activities was successful, and the number of trucks to be used is now being increased and optimized. When sufficient shipment of crude oil volume from storage tanks has been completed, production from the Oza-1 well will be re-started to supply continued shipments by truck to UPIL ."
