                           Tuesday, 26(th) June 2012 
 
Providence Resources P.l.c. ("Providence"), the AIM and ESM quoted company, held 
its Annual General Meeting in Dublin today. The Company provided a general 
update on its' multi-year, multi-well drilling programme offshore Ireland, 
including a specific update on the ongoing post Barryroe well evaluation. 
 
Speaking at the meeting, Tony O'Reilly, Chief Executive of Providence, said: 
 
"Having commenced our major drilling campaign offshore Ireland, we were 
particularly delighted that Barryroe, the first well of the campaign, came in 
far above all the pre-drill expectations. This not only demonstrated the 
significant scale of the Barryroe oil field, but it has also opened up many 
other opportunities for the Company. The successful flow of high quality light 
sweet crude at indicative commercial rates at Barryroe has enabled the Company 
to take a giant leap forward in advancing its plans to commercialise Ireland's 
first oil field. Subsequent post well analysis continues to confirm this and we 
very much look forward to providing a revised resource update for Barryroe later 
this summer." 
 
All of the resolutions considered and voted upon by the shareholders were 
approved. The full text of each resolution was included in the notice of the 
meeting circulated to shareholders.
