Kiliwani North Operations Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kiliwani North Operations Update

Solo notes today that Aminex plc ("Aminex") the operator of the Kiliwani North Development Licence ("KNDL") in Tanzania has reported that production from the Kiliwani North-1 ("KN-1") well has been temporarily reduced to gas rates of below 1 million cubic feet per day ("mmscfd"). KN-1, which has recovered in excess of 6 billion cubic feet ("bcf") to date, is now thought to be draining only a single compartment within the greater Kiliwani North structure and is exhibiting slow recharge across faults or via restricted pathways within the structure.

Aminex will use this period to collect additional data and is evaluating a number of options to maximise future gas recovery and increase production rates from the Kiliwani North resources. Options currently under evaluation include installation of temporary wellhead compression and also maximising the recovery of KN-1 gas resources through step-out prospects on the KNDL through a review of existing seismic data.

Based on available information Solo does not currently believe that there will be a material impact on the 28 bcf of gross resources independently estimated for KN-1. Solo holds a 7.55% interest in the KN-1 well and the KNDL.

KN-1 gas sales receivables continue to be settled on a monthly basis and due to the existing time-lag associated with past payments this shut-in will have no material impact on forecast cash flow in 2017.

Elsewhere in Tanzania in the Ruvuma PSA, Solo is preparing for the monetisation of the gross estimated gas-in-place 1.34 trillion cubic foot ("tcf") Ntorya discovery, for which the application for a development licence has already been made to the Tanzanian authorities. Solo holds a 25% interest in the Ntorya gas condensate discovery and the wider Ruvuma PSA.
