("San Leon" or the "Company")

Morocco Update

San Leon Energy plc, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas development and appraisal in Africa and Europe, announces that the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines ("ONHYM") has written to the Company regarding the non-performance of the work programme on its Zag Licence, onshore Morocco. ONHYM has assumed control of the existing bank guarantee (San Leon's share being $1,400,000 - an amount listed in the Company's accounts as restricted cash), and has requested a penalty of the same amount again to be paid. The Company is in negotiations with ONHYM regarding the future of the licence, including the work programme. The Zag licence is in a geographical area which the Company believes justifies a declaration of force majeure due to the regional security situation. San Leon will update the market in due course.

Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) Disclosure

Certain information contained in this announcement would have been deemed inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 until the release of this announcement.

Petromaroc hit with similar issue on this licence. Will be interesting to see how this security issue in the sub-sahara is resolved.
