Update on Oza field, Nigeria

San Leon, the independent oil and gas production, development and exploration company focused on Nigeria, notes the announcement made on 27 March 2024 by Decklar Resources Inc. ("Decklar") in Canada.  San Leon has a 11% 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. 

As most recently stated in its announcement on 30 November 2023, San Leon continues to explore a potential sale of its non-core investments in DPL, although any completion remains subject to the proposed purchaser finalising its own funding arrangements. A further announcement will be made in relation to this at the appropriate time.

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

"- Decklar Resources Inc. and its co-venturer Millenium Oil & Gas Company Limited announce continued crude oil injection volumes from the Oza Oil Field through the Trans Niger Pipeline to the Bonny Export Terminal.

- Decklar and Millenium sell additional crude oil production from the Oza Oil Field to a local refinery in Edo State.

Calgary, Alberta -- Decklar Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DKL) (OTC: DKLRF) (FSE: A1U1) (the "Company" or "Decklar") and its co-venturer Millenium Oil & Gas Company Limited ("Millenium") are pleased to announce ongoing crude oil injection volumes into the Trans Niger Pipeline ("TNP") for transport to and export from the Bonny Export Terminal from the Oza Oil Field and continued sales to a local refinery in Edo State. 

Delivery of Crude Oil from the Oza Oil Field

Decklar and Millenium have injected over 18,400 barrels of crude oil ("bbls") into the TNP for transport to the Bonny Export Terminal thus far in 2024. Decklar and Millenium have injected a total of 34,600 barrels of crude oil into the Bonny Export Terminal from commencement of TNP pipeline operation in late 2023. Crude oil production from the Oza Oil Field through the TNP to the Bonny Export Terminal is being sold to Shell Western Supply and Trading Limited ("Shell"). Crude oil held in storage at the Oza Oil Field and crude oil being produced into storage tanks from the Oza-1 and Oza-4 wells is being transported by truck a short distance in-field to the transfer pumping station at the Oza Oil Field for injection into the TNP. The first crude oil export cargo of 15,000 bbls to Shell was loaded on board a vessel with a bill of lading date of February 7, 2024, with sales proceeds expected in the last week of March. Decklar and Millenium are expecting another crude oil export nomination notice from Shell before the end of March 2024 for the export of another 15,000 barrels of crude oil currently held in the Bonny Export Terminal tanks.

In addition, total deliveries to date in 2024 to the Edo refinery totalled over 15,000 bbls."
