Results of Open Offer and Director's Dealing

Tower Resources plc (the "Company" (TRP.L, TRP LN)), the AIM listed Africa focused oil and gas exploration company, announced on 30 June 2017 the completion of a £180,000 Placing at 1.0 pence per share and the Company's intention to launch an Open Offer of up to approximately £188,000 at 1.0 pence per share. The Open Offer, together with the Notice of Annual General Meeting, was subsequently announced on 14 July 2017.

The Open Offer has now closed in accordance with its terms and was substantially over-subscribed, resulting in an allocation of the Open Offer shares among Qualifying Shareholders. After scaling back excess applications, the Company will issue 18,789,013 Open Offer Shares. This represents the maximum number of Shares available under the Open Offer. The Company has therefore raised gross proceeds of approximately £187,890 through the Open Offer.

Application has been made for these 18,789,013 Open Offer Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. It is expected that Admission of the Open Offer Shares will occur at 8.00 a.m. on 11 August 2017.

Following Admission of the Open Offer Shares and in accordance with Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Company's issued ordinary share capital is now comprised of 140,917,601 Ordinary Shares of 1.0 pence each with voting rights.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as a denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Tower under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The following table sets out the Directors' shareholding and percentage interest in the issued share capital of the Company after the Open Offer:

* 1,805,308 of these shares are held by Agile Energy Limited, which is owned by the Asher Family Trust of which Jeremy Asher is a lifetime beneficiary.

Jeremy Asher, Chairman and CEO, commented "We are very pleased with the response of our shareholders to the Open Offer. This allows us to refocus our attention on our work programme in Cameroon and its financing, which remain the principal uncertainties facing the company but also contain great potential opportunities. We realise that shareholders would like to see our stock trading again, and we are working to resolve these uncertainties so this can resume as soon as possible."
