Operational Update
Tower Resources PLC ("Tower"), LN: TRP, the AIM listed company with exploration assets in offshore Namibia and Uganda, is pleased to provide an update on operational progress in Uganda, where the Mvule-1 well is now expected to spud within 6-9 days, i.e. between the 8th and 11th of February.
Tower's wholly owned subsidiary, Neptune Petroleum (Uganda) Limited, has begun mobilisation of the OGEC K900 drilling rig to the Mvule-1 site. Preparation of the site is near completion and rigging up is about to begin. The well is anticipated to reach a total drilled depth of about 600 metres within two weeks of spud. A further update will be released once the well has spudded. The well is evaluating estimated recoverable resource potential of 80 million bbls.
