ECO (ATLANTIC) OIL & GAS LTD.

("Eco Atlantic", "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")

Final Results for the three and six months ended 30 September 2017 and Business Update

Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd. (AIM: ECO, TSX-V:EOG), the oil and gas exploration company with licences in highly prospective regions in South America and Africa, is pleased to announce its results for the three and six months ended 30 September 2017.

Operational Highlights:

· Together with its operating partner, Tullow Oil ("Tullow"), the Company has completed a circa 2,550 km2 3D seismic survey on the 1,800 km2 Orinduik Block, offshore Guyana, almost two years ahead of schedule, thereby de-risking the existing defined targets located up dip and just a few kilometers from Exxon's recent Liza, Snoek, Turbot-1, and Payara discoveries on the Stabroek block containing oil reserves estimated at 2.8 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Processing has commenced in October 2017 is expected to be completed in January 2018.

· The Company, as operator of the Cooper Block, offshore Namibia, has published a public notice for Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) for drilling an exploration well on the Block, a key clearance required ahead of potential drilling on the Block.

Financial Highlights:

· Through the Company's subsidiary, Eco Atlantic (Guyana) Inc. ("Eco Guyana"), we entered into an option agreement that provides Total E&P Activités Pétrolières, (a wholly owned subsidiary of Total SA) ("Total"), with an option to acquire a 25% Working Interest in the Orinduik Block. Total paid US$ 1 million for the option. Total has 120 days from the date of receipt of the 3D seismic data to exercise the option in return for a US$12.5 million cash payment to Eco Guyana.

· On November 13, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Africa Oil Corp ("AOC") whereby AOC subscribed for 29,200,000 shares in the Company for gross proceeds of $14 million.

· The Company and AOC also entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement to identify new projects to add to the Company's portfolio. The completion of the subscription, share issuance and transfer of funds was completed on November 16, 2017.

· Current cash on hand of approximately CAD$16.4 million.

Gadi Levin, Finance Director of Eco Atlantic, commented: 

"We are pleased to present our financial report for the three and six months ended 30 September 2017. The money raised in our AIM IPO back in February 2017, was put into work on our licenses across Namibia and Guyana during the six months ended September 2017. Following the completion of the expanded 2,550km2 3D seismic survey on our Orinduik Block, we were able to secure US$ 1 million from Total as payment for an option to farm into our Orinduik Block. Earlier this month, we completed a CAD$14 million private placement by Africa Oil. These two transactions, with two such experienced industry leaders, have transformed the Company's balance sheet, and we are now well positioned to continue to advance all of our exiting licenses, whilst perusing new opportunities in frontier areas. Total's potential exercise of its option to farm in to our Orinduik block will potentially add an additional US$12.5m to our balance sheet, which would bring our treasury to approximately CAD$30 million. We also continue to invest more time in the UK strengthening our investors' base and the market at large."

Cash Flow Statement

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited)

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results in accordance with IFRS have been included.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon the discovery of any economically recoverable petroleum, natural gas and CBM reserves on its licenses, the ability of the Company to obtain financing to complete development, and upon future profitable operations from the licenses or profitable proceeds from their disposition. The Company is a development stage company and has not earned any revenues to date. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to achieve profitable operations or obtain adequate financing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise funds in the future, in which case the Company may be unable to meet some of its future obligations. These matters raise significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts recorded on its condensed consolidated interim statements of financial position.

The Company has accumulated losses of $26,298,149 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

On November 13, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Africa Oil Corp ("AOC") whereby AOC subscribed for 29,200,000 shares in the Company for gross proceeds of $14 million, at an approximately 28% premium to the closing mid-market price on November 10, 2017. The Company and AOC also entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement to identify new projects to add to the Company's portfolio. The Completion of the subscription, share issuance and transfer of funds was completed on November 16, 2017.
