The lease expires on 12th September 2018. Following the Minister's decision, the Company, on behalf of its partners, will be withdrawing its planning application to drill the Holmwood prospect from the Bury Hill Wood site.

Europa Oil & Gas Limited is operator of PEDL 143 with a 20% interest..." We also put shareholders questions to David and he is very open and honest in his replies.
