ANNOUNCEMENT RE: FALKLAND OIL AND GAS LIMITED

Global Petroleum Limited (AIM / ASX: GBP), an Australian-based oil and gas
exploration company, advises that Falkland Oil and Gas Limited (FOGL) made the
attached release on the 3rd of May 2005.

This announcement suggests that Global's 16.06% shareholding (i.e. 12.848
million shares) in FOGL could potentially have quite significant value for
Global shareholders. A FOGL share price of #1/share translates to approximately
19c per Global share (GBP 8p/Global share).

Further information about FOGL's Falkland Island Oil & Gas Project can be found
in a presentation that FOGL has posted on its website www.fogl.co.uk

Falkland Oil and Gas Limited

("FOGL" or "the company")

Significant increase in number of identified leads

Enhanced possibility of a new petroleum province
in the South and East Falkland Basins

FOGL announces that it has completed its current 9,450 km 2D seismic data
acquisition programme over most of its licence area. The initial interpretation
of the preliminary processed records from the survey has proved encouraging and
greatly exceeds the Company's initial expectations.

The programme has indicated a larger and more diverse project than originally
anticipated and has identified numerous possible drill targets, with indications
that some could potentially be of significant size.

FOGL has now identified approximately 130 leads,(1) far in excess of the eight
(8) leads identified at the time of its AIM IPO in October 2004. Given the
positive results of the survey, FOGL now plans to increase the scope of its
exploration programme far beyond that envisaged at the time of the IPO.

Key points:

* Approximately 130 leads identified, a number of which appear capable of
containing recoverable reserves in excess of 200 million barrels

* FOGL now represents a larger and more diverse project than originally
anticipated

* Encouraging signs that oil and gas could be present

* Further work is planned targeting defining 20 drillable prospects by
about mid-2006

* FOGL is targeting drilling of the first well in 2007

* Already an enhanced possibility of project success

* Licences cover area equivalent to the North Sea Southern Gas Basin and
Central Graben

* Cash position of #10.9 million as at 31 March 2005. FOGL is evaluating
its funding requirements and the source of funds for the increased exploration
programme

John Armstrong, Executive Chairman of FOGL, said:

"In my opinion, this is the most exciting project I've seen for many years. The
results of the 2D seismic are encouraging; the number of leads identified has
far exceeded our most optimistic estimates and we believe it has greatly
enhanced FOGL's prospects. It is clear that the scope of work needed to maximise
the potential of our acreages has increased significantly.

"It is important to remember that, while the leads identified to date each have
seismic expression which indicates the possible presence of a drillable
prospect, when fully mapped, and with the benefit of further data, such leads
may not have all the characteristics necessary to become drillable prospects.
Nevertheless, the large number of leads distributed across several playtypes
suggests that a number of the leads could become technically sound and
potentially economically viable drill prospects. It is the Company's goal to
identify and define 20 such prospects in the immediate future so that they can
be considered for drilling in 2007.

"We have made a lot of progress in the six months since our AIM IPO and the
results to date have been remarkable. Although there is a long way to go, it now
seems quite possible that the Falkland Islands could become a new petroleum
province by the end of the decade."

Hydrocarbon Indicators

Initial interpretation of the new data gives considerable cause for optimism.
The preliminary results of the survey identify numerous Direct Hydrocarbon
Indicators (DHI's) pointing to the presence of working petroleum systems. The
DHI's include gas chimneys, amplitudes and possibly gas hydrates. The leads are
large and diverse, with some leads possibly covering areas of 300 to 500 sq km,
sufficient to hold large reserves of oil or gas. There is also a wide range of
play types with several different styles identified.

Exploration Programme & Funding Arrangements

FOGL plans to conduct further seismic surveys targeting all the leads but with
particular emphasis on the approximately 50 most promising. The aim will be to
develop 20 high quality, technically sound and potentially economically viable
drilling prospects. The Company then intends to develop a multi-well drilling
programme which may be able to begin in 2007.

Full details of the exploration programme are still to be finalised but given
the increased number of identified leads the company expects to expand
significantly the scope of the exploration programme.

Although FOGL had net cash of #10.9 million as at 31 March 2005, the increased
scope of the programme will require additional funding and the Board is
currently considering its options. A further statement on the funding
arrangements and the full details of the programme will be announced soon.

Potential Resources

The extent and depth of the basin suggests that, if it exists, the hydrocarbon
resource could be of a major scale. According to estimates by MBA Petroleum
Consultants, an independent consultant, 1,250 billion barrels of oil / oil
equivalent could have been generated in and in the vicinity of FOGL's licences.

Scott Pickford, petroleum engineers, made an independent assessment of the
initial eight (8) leads and concluded that each had the potential to contain
between 200 million and 600 million barrels of recoverable oil(2). It is
expected that Scott Pickford will be contracted to repeat the process and make
an independent judgement on the potential resources indicated by the new data.
Its findings will be announced on completion of the processing and
interpretation which is expected to be in the third quarter of this year.

An overview presentation will be posted on the FOGL website giving a summary of
the results announced here. Technical information including maps and seismic
lines will be posted on the Company's website in the near future.

NOTES TO EDITORS

Falkland Oil and Gas Limited ("FOGL") is an oil and gas exploration company
focused exclusively on opportunities offshore of the Falkland Islands. It was
admitted to London's Alternative Investment Market ("AIM") on 14 October 2004 at
an issue price of 40p. The current major shareholders of FOGL are: Falkland
Islands Holdings plc (18%), Global Petroleum (16%) and RAB Capital plc (31%).

At the time of the admission to AIM, FOGL held a 77.5% interest in seven
offshore production licences covering approximately 33,700 sq km to the south
and east of the Falkland Islands. FOGL holds these licences in a joint venture
with Hardman Resources. In December 2004, FOGL was awarded a 100% licence over
an additional 50,000 sq kms adjacent to its existing licence areas. The 83,700
sq km area held by FOGL is equivalent to 380 North Sea blocks: as large as the
Southern Gas Basin and the Central Graben combined.

RE CHINGUETTI DRILLING UPDATE

PAGES: 2

Hardman Resources Limited ('Hardman' or 'the Company') announces that the
drilling rig 'Stena Tay' has completed the drilling of the wells required for
the first phase of the Chinguetti development project, offshore Mauritania.
This drilling program included 5 new oil producers, 5 water injectors to
maintain reservoir pressure, and 1 gas injection well drilled on the Banda
discovery for disposal of the Chinguetti associated gas. The Chinguetti early
development well drilled in late 2003 will also be tied into the production
system, resulting in the planned 6 producing wells being on stream at the end of
the first phase of development. During the drilling of the Banda gas injection
well a number of cores were cut and fluid samples taken, to aid in the
continuing evaluation of this discovery. The 'West Navigator' drilling rig
remains in the Chinguetti field and is continuing work on the installation of
well completion equipment. As of 31 May 2005 sand completion equipment had been
installed on 7 of the 10 new wells, and this work will be followed by the
installation of the production tubing and subsea trees before connecting the
wells to the Berge Helene Floating Production Storage and Offtake (FPSO) Vessel
for production.

Drilling results on Chinguetti were positive, meeting or exceeding expectations.
The completion of the drilling phase removes one significant element of forward
project risk and confirms that the volume of oil-in-place is at least as
expected. On the assumption that early well performance remains in line with
forecasts, Hardman anticipates that this will result in an increase in proven
reserves when it carries out its initial reserves redetermination. The project
is now over 71% complete and the target date for first oil from the Chinguetti
field remains Quarter 1, 2006.

The 'Stena Tay' is preparing to move to the Canary Islands for upgrade works
before returning in July to commence the 2005/6 exploration and appraisal
program. The forward drilling schedule and selection of the exploration and
appraisal targets are the subject of a number of key joint venture meetings to
be held from mid-June.

MM slow responding means some are getting in cheap this morning.

Good.

Andy - 05 Jun 2005 00:18 - 315 of 441

SWW,

Hardman is starting to look very interesting again IMO, although as a SEY holder I am somewhat wary of putting too many eggs into the Mauritanian basket, just in case!

I also hold FOGL, so covered there too, although of course Hardman have other exploration prospects, and there's always the possibility of being taken over, so on balance I may buy a few next week.

seawallwalker - 05 Jun 2005 23:07 - 316 of 441

Good call Andy.

I agree about having too many eggs, but I did it anyway.

Hardman have returned cash to me lately whereas Sterling have not.

Holding both.

seawallwalker - 06 Jun 2005 08:13 - 317 of 441

Actually for once I intend to take most of my cash oncew the expected euphoria disapates from the drill announcements later this month and buy back later.

Thats the plan.

If I can't I move on.

I am getting pretty excited about this one.

I am well in and climbing...................

Only problem is I do not intend to sell this time.

My mind is now set to keep them a la 618 and try for a multi bagger.

I may even try a bit of uninformed blatent ramping.............

This one has been good to me so what the hell it is only money!
Was up in gavs part of the world for the last week, it was once mine but now an exile and I noticed an article in the Scotland On Sunday that may be interest to AIM oilers.
Business News page3 headed Canadian Firms etc (Antrim Energy etc)
Sorry cannot get the e-news link and computer is being stroppy but it is probably on The Scotsman web site

seawallwalker - 16 Jun 2005 23:21 - 325 of 441

Still going up............

Caz target is 1. or 1.25 if taken out.

seawallwalker - 17 Jun 2005 07:33 - 326 of 441

Should hit just under 90p today imo.

Closed @ $2.14AUS which is just over 90p.

I need those drill targets this week!
