Company Obtains Three Year Extension of
Exploration Period on
Western License in Tajikistan
---
Agreement Enables Initiation
of Exploration Strategy
BAAR, SWITZERLAND, February 5, 2015
MNP Petroleum Corp. (MNP) (TSX-V: MNP; OTCQB: MNAP) is
pleased to announce that CJSC Somon Oil, a 90% subsidiary of DWM Petroleum AG,
has obtained a three-year extension of the term of its Western Oil Exploration
License (Zapadnyi). Under the provisions of the Production Sharing Agreement,
Subsoil Law and Licensing Law, the License has been extended until July 25,
2017. The Northwestern License (Severo-Zapadnyi) expires on July 28, 2016.
Dr. Werner Ladwein, President and CEO, said we are delighted
to receive the three year extension and this will enable us to start
implementing our strategy for the Fergana Basin in Tajikistan. The focus in
exploration is currently on drilling of the Kayrakkum B well. We have entered
into negotiations with potential rig providers and we will order the outstanding
LLIs (Long Lead Items). Current Rig availability and the LLI schedule should
allow for a spud date beginning of the third quarter 2015.
About MNP
MNP is an international oil and gas company with primary focus
on exploration and development in Central Asia and Mongolia. In Tajikistan MNP
owns 90% working interest in a Production Sharing Agreement covering the license
areas Zapadnyi and Severo-Zapadnyi in the Soughd region through its wholly-owned
subsidiary DWM Petroleum AG, and it owns a 37% working interest in eight
producing oilfields. In Mongolia, MNP owns 74% of the working interest in two
Production Sharing Contracts covering Blocks XIII and XIV through its
wholly-owned subsidiary DWM Petroleum AG.
As part of its strategy to fund its development and exploration
assets, the Company entered into an agreement with Stichting VB Vagobel in early
October, 2014 to provide up to $67 million, in a combination of equity and debt.
The Company expects the transaction to close and funding to commence by February
19, 2015.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services
Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange)
accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
