UPLAND RESOURCES LIMITED

("Upland" or the "Company")

Appointment of new auditors

Upland Resources Limited (LSE: UPL), the oil and gas company actively building a portfolio of attractive upstream assets, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Crowe Clarke Whitehill LLP ("CCW") as its auditors and as auditors for its subsidiary companies.

Background

The appointment of CCW arises because of the resignation of Wilkins Kennedy LLP ("WK") as the Company's auditors. WK has resigned purely for normal commercial reasons: specifically, Upland was WK's only main market listed audit client and the regulatory costs associated with this role had become greater than the fees generated by the Upland audit work.

Steve Staley, CEO of Upland Resources Limited, said:

"We are pleased to appoint CCW as our new auditors. CCW has a wide range of experience with listed companies and with resource companies. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank WK for the fine job they have done as Upland's auditors, having been with us through the early days of the Company."
