Plectrum Petroleum Plc ("Plectrum")

                                 AGM Statement

At today's AGM, Executive Chairman Mike Whyatt made the following statement:

"Following the reverse takeover by Table Mountain Minerals and renaming as
Plectrum Petroleum plc in October 2005, we have been actively seeking out
exploration opportunities in various regions around the globe.

I am delighted to say that one of these opportunities has landed since the year
end. We announced earlier this week that we had signed a joint venture agreement
with Gold Oil plc to explore for oil and gas in the deeper waters of the Talara
Basin offshore Peru. Plectrum will have a 50% interest in Block Z34.

In addition, we have submitted applications for two large exploration blocks in
South West Australia and expect to make a licence application in the UK 24th
Licensing Round which closes in June. We are also currently in negotiations to
acquire exploration acreage in North Africa. The outcome of these licence
applications and negotiations cannot be predicted at this stage, however we are
doing all we can to bring these opportunities to a successful conclusion.

I hope to report further progress on these opportunities and our activities in
Peru throughout the next 12 months".
