2011 Lateral Well Successfully Completed

COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT

4th April, 2011 Lateral Well Successfully Completed

L&M Energy Limited (LME) is pleased to provide the following update at the Ohai pilot project.

OM#7 has successfully intersected production well OM#5 within the thick target Morley #2 coal seam after drilling a lateral length of 1035m. In light of the good drilling conditions within the Morley #2 seam, the lateral section was extended a further 115m to 1150m.

In order to assist with development planning for the area, the company has elected to commence production testing immediately from OM#5 prior to drilling the second lateral section.

The pilot project follows on from the company’s 3P reserves upgrade to 274 PJ and forms a key part of the Company’s 2P gas reserves campaign which is aimed at independently certifying New Zealand’s first tranche of 2P CSG reserves.
