Victoria Oil & Gas Plc

("VOG" or "the Company")

AIM Rule 17 Disclosure Schedule Two (g) Update

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc, the Cameroon based gas and condensate producer and distributor, announces a change of information in relation to Mr John Bryant, a Non-Executive Director of VOG, pursuant to AIM Rule 17 and Schedule 2(g) to the AIM Rules for Companies.

Mr Bryant is the Non-Executive Chairman of Weatherly International plc ("Weatherly"), which entered into administration on 1 June 2018.

The background to this is that the position at Weatherly's Tschudi mine has become fundamentally uncertain, as a result of significant water ingress. As a result of this material uncertainty, Orion Mine Finance (Master) Fund I LP ("Orion") confirmed to Weatherly, in writing, that they were unlikely to permit further drawdowns under its existing uncommitted loan facility with Orion.

For further information please visit Weatherly's website at www.weatherlyplc.com.

NOTES TO EDITORS:

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc ("VOG" or "the Company") is a fully-integrated onshore gas producer and distributor with operations located in the port city of Douala, Cameroon. Through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC"), VOG delivers gas via a 50km gas distribution pipeline network to a range of major industrial customers.

Since spudding its first wells in 2010, the Company has grown to become the dominant player in the Cameroon onshore gas market, primarily through the 57% owned Logbaba gas project. GDC is partnered on this project with RSM Production Company ("RSM"), and Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures ("SNH"), who have holdings of 38% and 5% respectively.

Subject to government approval VOG will extend it acreage over the highly prospective Douala Basin with the addition of the Matanda license area.
