Publication of Bond Restructuring Proposals
Echo Energy, the Latin American focused upstream oil and gas company, is pleased to announce, further to the Company's announcement of 1 December 2020, that following positive and constructive discussions with certain holders of the Company's Luxembourg listed EUR 20.0m 8.0% secured notes (the "Notes") it has published its proposals (the "Proposals") in respect of a restructuring of the Notes and that a meeting of the holders of the Notes (the "Noteholders") has now been convened to consider the Proposals for 10.00 a.m. (London Time) on 15 March 2021 (the "Noteholder Meeting").
Pursuant to the Proposals, the Company is seeking Noteholder consent to:
-- Extend the maturity of the Notes by three years to 15 May 2025 (the "Maturity Date"); and
-- Remove all cash interest payments on the Notes prior to the Maturity Date.
If approved by the requisite majority of Noteholders any and all interest on the Notes accruing from 31 December 2019 shall be paid in cash on the Maturity Date save that Noteholders will be provided with the ability, from 30 September 2021, to elect to receive Note interest payments in respect of the immediately preceding quarter in new ordinary Shares in the Company ("Elections"), subject inter alia to the Company having the required share issuance authorities in place from time to time to satisfy Elections and to Noteholders holding at least 50 per cent. of the Notes having made Elections in respect of the relevant quarter. Any new ordinary shares issued as a result of Elections will be issued at an effective issue price equal to the volume weighted average price of an Echo ordinary share for the 10 Business Days before the relevant interest conversion date.
In putting the Proposals to Noteholders the Company has agreed, subject to Noteholder approval of the Proposals at the Noteholder Meeting that it will not, without the prior consent of Noteholders by way of a simple majority of those Noteholders then voting, drill an exploration well with a budgeted cost to the Company of in excess of EUR 5.0 million for so long as the Notes are outstanding and that it will not, in the last 18 months prior

Update on El Romeral Gas & Power Project Acquisition
Prospex Energy PLC, the AIM quoted investment company focused on European gas and power projects, is pleased to provide the following update on its acquisition (the 'Acquisition') of a 49.9% interest in El Romeral, an integrated gas production and power station operation in southern Spain ('El Romeral' or 'Project'). Prospex is acquiring its interest in the Project, which includes three producing wells that supply gas, through its own network, to a 100% project-owned 8.1 MW power station, via Tarba Energia ('Tarba'). Prospex owns a 49.9% interest in Tarba B shares with its partner Warrego Energy Limited owning the balance.
As announced on 24 December 2020, Tarba informed its shareholders that final regulatory approval in the form of both Ministerial and Regional authorities sign-off has been received for the transfer of El Romeral to Tarba and that the acquisition could proceed to completion. At the time of the announcement, completion was expected on 31 January 2021. Tarba has now informed its shareholders that, due to slower than anticipated progress made during the period immediately following the festive period, the Acquisition is now expected to complete on 28 February 2021.
Tarba, which will assume the day-to-day management and control of El Romeral following completion, is utilising the extended time frame to continue its preparatory work so that the operational transfer will go smoothly.
The medium-term target at El Romeral is to increase on site gas production and, in turn, electricity generation at the Project's power plant towards its nameplate capacity from the current 22% level. This is expected to be achieved via the drilling of new wells targeting already identified development locations and very-low risk prospects which have been assigned gross contingent and prospective gas resources of 5Bcf and 90Bcf, respectively. Tarba will also carry out a review of existing wells to evaluate the potential to undertake workovers to enhance recovery rates. Historically, the power station at El Romeral regularly produced c. 60,000 Mwh per annum when gas was not a limiting factor.
Whilst I don't disagree, given some peoples track records pinch of salt required

Strategic and Corporate Update
To take advantage of opportunities provided by the Ruvuma Farm-Out, avoid the need for further dilution, and improve shareholder value, the Company has been working on several important strategic initiatives. As part of these initiatives, the Company is restructuring the Board and further cutting costs.
Further Cost Reduction
In 2021, the Company intends to reduce gross general and administrative costs by 30% from 2020 levels and an additional 25-30% reduction in 2022. By 2022, these efforts will reduce gross general and administrative expenditure (before one-off costs and exceptional items) to less than GBP1 million per annum, representing a 75% reduction from 2018 levels.
Board Restructuring
The Company is reducing the Board from five directors to three. With immediate effect, Robert Ambrose is stepping down as interim CEO and director, and Charles Santos shall become Executive Chairman. Robert has kindly offered to assist in the transition. As announced on 26 January 2021, Jan Gunnar Opsal stepped down as a non-executive director.
Charles Santos, Executive Chairman of Aminex, commented:
"We are indebted to Robert for stepping in at short notice last April, steering the Company through the farm-out process and positioning it for the future. In many respects, these current changes complete the restructuring started by Robert. Our objectives now are to capitalise on Aminex's fully carried valuable Ruvuma asset, maintain discipline on expenditures, and with a lean and effective management team pursue our strategic initiatives. Finally, we all thank Robert and wish him well in his future endeavours."

West Newton Technical Update and Presentation
Union Jack Oil plc (AIM: UJO), a UK focused onshore hydrocarbon production, development and exploration company is pleased to announce that a technical presentation in respect of the recently drilled West Newton B-1 and B-1Z appraisal wells is now available on the Company`s website www.unionjackoil.com.
The Company holds a 16.665% economic interest in PEDL183, encompassing an area of 176,000 acres and located within the Western sector of the Southern Zechstein Basin, onshore UK, North of the river Humber. PEDL183 contains the conventional West Newton A-1, A-2 and B-1Z discoveries.
The West Newton technical presentation contains new significant technical data that is material to the ongoing commercial evaluation of the project. The presentation identifies or contains the following new information:
-- Locations for the West Newton A-1, A-2, B-1, B-1Z and a proposed B-2 well, which has planning permission in place and is provisionally planned to be drilled in H2 2021, and a demonstration of where the B-1Z well represented a considerable 2.5 kilometre step-out to the south of the A-2 well
-- Good seismic calibration across the West Newton project area, highlighting both the Kirkham Abbey "platform" and "slope" formations
- Demonstrated hydrocarbon column of at least 118 metres with no hydrocarbon-water contact
- Thick porous section identified in both A-2 and B-1Z wells suggesting a contiguous structure across the Kirkham Abbey formation
- B-1Z well de-risks the southern component of the West Newton licence area and crucially supports the accuracy of the seismic interpretation across the entire platform
-- Log results at B-1Z well were excellent, exceeding Union Jack`s pre-drill expectations
- Good porosity throughout the interval
- Kirkham Abbey interval hydrocarbon saturated
- Mudgas concentrations observed while drilling through the Kirkham Abbey formation at B-1Z well were as high as 9.8% total gas
-- 18 metres of core cut and recovered from the B-1Z well
- Visible natural fracturing, micro fracturing and vuggy porosity demonstrated from core-lab inspection and analysis
-- Numerous additional leads and prospects, including Ellerby and Spring Hill, identified across PEDL183

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
An extraordinary general meeting of the Company will be held at Kings Buildings, 16 Smith Square, London SW1P 3JJ on 18 February 2021 at 10.00 am (the "EGM").
The business of the EGM will be to consider and, if thought fit, approve certain resolutions relating to the replacement of CREST with a system operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV for the electronic settlement of trading in the Company's ordinary shares (the "Migration").
As a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the CREST settlement system will soon no longer be able to provide settlement services to Irish incorporated listed companies. Approval of the resolutions is therefore necessary to ensure that the Company's shares can continue to be held and settled electronically when they are traded on the London Stock Exchange and remain eligible for continued admission to trading and listing on that exchange, which is crucial to the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. There is no meaningful alternative to Migration and failure to migrate would remove the Company's access to electronic trade settlement.
The circular which includes notice of the EGM (the "Circular") and a Form of Proxy is being posted to shareholders today. The Board strongly urges shareholders to review the contents of the Circular in their entirety, including the documents referred to therein, and consider the Board's recommendation to vote in favour of the Resolutions.
The Circular, the Form of Proxy and copies of the documents referred to in the Circular are available to view on the Company's website, www.aminex-plc.com and will be available for inspection as described in the Circular. However, due to Covid-19 public health guidelines, shareholders are advised to view the documents on the website.
EGM arrangements and Covid-19
The Company will follow public health guidelines in respect of social distancing, mass gatherings and other measures taken regarding Covid-19. The Company will be implementing the relevant measures advised by UK Government agencies at the EGM in relation to Covid-19. The wellbeing of our shareholders, staff and others are our priority. It is the Company's intention to hold the EGM with the minimum quorum necessary and we strongly advise our shareholders to submit their forms of proxy by post or electronically to ensure their vote counts at the EGM given that personal attendance at the EGM is not recommended under current Government guidelines. The Company reserves the right to refuse entry to the meeting where reasonably necessary to comply with the Covid-19 related public health measures and advice. We would therefore recommend that you consider appointing the chairperson of the EGM as your proxy due to the restrictions on other persons attending the EGM.
The Company will continue to closely monitor the developing situation around Covid-19, including the latest UK Government guidance, a
