Additional Information on PetroLatina Energy Plc: 
PetroLatina Energy Plc (AIM: PELE), formerly known as Taghmen Energy Plc, was 
founded in 2004. The Company is presently focused on Colombia after the sale of 
its assets in Guatemala in which it retains a 20% interest in the first three 
wells and a 20% working interest in future wells. In Colombia, the Company 
currently holds 40% and 20% interests in the Los Angeles and Santa Lucía fields 
on the Tisquirama licence respectively, and a 100% interest in the Doña María 
field. In November 2007 the Company secured the extension of the Tisquirama 
licence for the economic life of the fields. In April 2006 the Group acquired an 
interest in two exploration blocks with an 85% interest in Midas and an 80% 
interest in La Paloma. PetroLatina also owns the Río Zulia-Ayacucho pipeline in 
the prolific Catatumbo basin which transports crude oil. Present 
exploration/exploitation activities in this area should increase the volume of 
crude oil transported resulting in an increased cash flow. Further information 
is available on the Company's website (www.petrolatinaenergy.com).
