Oisín Fanning, Chairman of San Leon commented
"We are delighted to welcome both Daniel and John to the Board.
Daniel brings a wealth of expertise that will complement those of the Board and has an intrinsic knowledge of the oil and gas industry and international corporate finance.
John has been with us over a year now and has immense industry and shale gas expertise. In that time he has become an integral part of the team and his ascension to the Board as Director of Exploration is recognition of the role he has played at the company in that time.
We look forward to their contribution and working with them as we continue to aggressively develop our exciting portfolio."
