Update on Horse Hill, Weald Basin UK

Solo today announces that it has been informed by the operator, Horse Hill Developments Limited ("HHDL"), that following communications with the Surrey County Council ("SCC"), HHDL now understands that the Horse Hill planning application will be determined at the scheduled SCC Planning Committee meeting of either August or September 2017. The planning application seeks consent to long-term production testing of Horse Hill-1 well ("HH-1") and the drilling two further wells.  HHDL's plans remain unchanged, with flow testing expected to commence in Q4 2017.

Solo owns 10% of HHDL, which owns 65% of the Horse Hill Petroleum Licences containing the HH-1 oil discovery, and therefore a 6.5% interest in the licences, well and the discovery.
