("San Leon" or "the Company")

Rawicz-15 Development Well

San Leon Energy, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration in Europe and North Africa, announces the next step in the development of the Rawicz field.

The Rawicz-15 development well on the 742 km2 Rawicz Concession in Poland's southern Permian Basin, will be spud during November 2015. In addition to providing a second production well, it will yield further data on the Permian Rotliegendes sandstone reservoir in the southwestern extent of the Rawicz gas accumulation.

The well, which is operated and funded by Palomar Natural Resources ("PNR"), is expected to take 35 days to reach a total depth of around 1,600 meters, and will be followed by completion and a full well testing programme. Poland's Exalo Drilling will perform the work.
