Matra Petroleum plc: Results for the year ended 31 December 2005 and Notice of AGM
[Extract]
Matra Petroleum plc (formerly Ming Resources plc) the oil and gas exploration company focused on accessing the upstream oil and gas opportunities presented in Central Europe has today announced its results for the year ended 31 December 2005.
The results refer to the period prior to the reverse takeover of Inke Petroleum Pty Ltd and renaming the company Matra Petroleum plc earlier this year. Peter Hind, Managing Director, said:
"2005 was really just the beginning for our company and operational activity only began in April this year. Since that time we have drilled our first well and begun to apply the latest technology to the data on the Inke Concession in Hungary.
We are fortunate to have a strong Board with extensive experience in oil and gas and in the successful development of junior resource companies. Craig Burton, Peter Gunzburg and I have recently been joined by Neil Hodgson as Exploration Director. Neil was most recently General Manager of Exploration at Premier Oil and has also worked with BP and British Gas.
2006 will therefore be a much more significant year for Matra as we define our ongoing programme for our existing concession and continue to evaluate new opportunities to add value to the company within our focus area of Central Europe.
