Harry Dobson, Non-Executive Chairman, said:

"I'd like to thank Howard for his role in leading the Company since its inception and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. The technical work undertaken by Howard and his team in opening up a new basin is second to none, and both I and the Board are grateful for all he has done to progress the Darwin discovery to this point. I sincerely believe that the South Falklands Basin will achieve recognition as a world class hydrocarbon system and he can be proud of what he has achieved in his time with the Company.

"I am delighted to welcome Harry Baker to the Board and look forward to working with him in this next phase of the Company's development."
