Stephen Sanderson, UKOG's Executive Chairman, commented:

"Together with the funds raised in June, the Company has now secured £10.5 million of investment during the last month, which given UKOG's current plans, mean that it has sufficient working capital for the next 18 months. UKOG is now in a robust financial position to confidently pursue its projects' ambitious exploration and appraisal programme in the Weald Basin."
