Operations Update

Silvermere Energy plc, the independent oil and gas company with assets in the Gulf of Mexico, is pleased to provide an update following its announcement of 31 December 2012. Production and sales of oil and gas from its Mustang Island 818-L Field have now recommenced following the repair of the main interconnect pipeline operated by Exxon Mobil. This is based on information provided by the operator of the I-1 Well, Dominion Production Company LLC ("Dominion").

The repairs were successfully completed on 5 January 2013 and the sales line from the Mustang Island 818-L Field was re-opened on 7 January.

With production re-established, the clean-up of the I-1 well will continue and an indication of likely sustainable commercial flow rates is expected to be available after a few weeks of continuous production.

About Silvermere Energy PLC

The Company has a 33.33 per cent working interest and 20.00 per cent net entitlement interest in the Mustang Licence Area, an area within the southern half of the north-west quarter and northern half of the south-west quarter of the Block 818-L field as defined in State of Texas Oil and Gas Lease numbers 108873 and 108874. The Mustang Island 818-L field (the "Field"), located in Kleberg County waters of the Gulf of Mexico, is home to a field re-habilitation project targeting bypassed or only partially produced gas-condensate.

According to a recent update to the independent Competent Persons Report published at admission in August 2011, the Mustang asset - which is operated by Dominion Production Company, the Field has a NPV10 of Proven and Probable reserves (P1 + P2) estimated to be US$14 million attributable to the Company's interest. It has an additional NPV10 of $57million net from the potential upgrade of Possible (3P) reserves. These reserves are based on a projected three well programme.

Initially, Silvermere is focussed on progressing production from the I-1 re-entry well where it has a 16.66 per cent working interest with a view to underpinning its long-term objective of creating a bankable and cash generative oil and gas company during the medium term and then drilling the three new wells to access the NPV identified in the CPR.

The Company maintains an active business development programme which aims to identify and acquire additional valuable assets either in or near production. These will be used to expand the business and provide additional value to shareholders over time. The Company's search is focussed on the US for the time being, both on-shore and off-shore, but may be expanded further afield in future.
