Aminex PLC, the oil and gas company listed in London and Dublin, provides a
further progress report for the Nyuni-1 well, offshore Tanzania.

Intermediate wireline logging to 3,365 metres subsea was temporarily suspended
as existing equipment was unable to pass beyond an obstruction at approximately
2,657 metres.  After several attempts, specialist logging equipment was
mobilised from overseas.  While waiting for the equipment, drilling has
continued to a depth of 3,679 metres.  Preparations are now underway to
re-commence logging operations with the newly-arrived specialist logging
equipment.
