   --    Average daily oil sold in February for Pine Mills was 126 bopd

Nostra Terra owns a 100% Working Interest in Pine Mills. In February, Nostra Terra announced that it became cash flow positive on a plc basis for that month. Net cash flow generation at Pine Mills made a significant contribution to this milestone.

Average gross production in January was 109 bopd, increasing in February to 114 bopd. Late February workovers have increased production, despite weather-related preventive shut-ins for several days during late February due to heavy rain.

The net result is Nostra Terra delivering the highest daily production rate and highest monthly revenues yet. Current average daily production at Pine Mills for March has averaged 129 bopd. Nostra Terra will continue to perform workovers on identified targets and aims to increase production further over the coming months.

Nostra Terra's stabilised average production target at Pine Mills remains between 130 and 150bopd. This should further add to free cash flow generated by the Pine Mills asset.

Matt Lofgran, Chief Executive Officer of Nostra Terra, commented:

"We're excited to see Pine Mills have a record month with revenue, and also reach a new record on daily production. This was achieved by reinvesting net income from the field into workovers. The lifting costs remain relatively constant, while production and revenue increase, resulting in an increase in net income from the field, which contributes further to remaining cashflow positive at the Plc level."
