EQUATORIAL PALM OIL plc
("EPO" or the "Company")
Operational Update
Equatorial Palm Oil plc (AIM: PAL), the AIM listed palm oil development and production company with operations in Liberia, West Africa today updates the market with respect to the decision to recommence land development at Palm Bay estate.
As previously announced, Liberian Palm Developments Limited ("LPD") the joint venture company that owns the Liberian oil palm estates has had a moratorium on all development on potential HCS areas since September 2014 pending the conclusion of a High Carbon Stock ("HCS") study. In the interim, LPD has employed the HCS Approach methodology to assess potential HCS areas prior to any development and this has brought about the engagement of The Forest Trust ("TFT") to assess approximately 1,500ha for new plantings on Palm Bay estate.
The TFT exercise has now been completed at Palm Bay estate and LPD has today begun land development which has the consent of the communities, as was announced to the market on 5 May 2016 following a formal consultation process, whereby LPD's Liberian subsidiary, EPO Liberia, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with designated community leaders over four key areas on Palm Bay estate to allow development of its oil palm activities.
Geoffrey Brown, Executive Director of EPO, commented:
"It is pleasing to recommence land development at Palm Bay estate, not only after detailed HCS assessments but also following a 2 year consultation process in which EPO actively engaged with stakeholders to consider all interests relating to oil palm development on our estates."
