Completion of the first phase of Interpretation of the 1,100 Km2 3D seismic survey on the Cooper License, offshore Namibia.

Ghana: Company completed the sale of its interest in Eco Atlantic Ghana Ltd. to PetroGulf Ltd. in order to significantly reduce liabilities and focus attention on our Guyana operations. As part of the sales agreement, approximately $1.8 million of liabilities included in our balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, which related to future payments in respect of the license will be written off.

Continued reduction of general and administrative costs, compensation expenses and professional fees from a total of $976,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2015 to $579,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2016. Eco Atlantic has met all of its current work commitments under the various Petroleum Agreements' and is being cost carried and sufficiently funded to progress its exploration commitments for the fiscal year ahead.

Eco Atlantic CEO, Gil Holzman stated: "The last six months has been busy as always, as we aggressively advance our work program in Guyana, following the recent discoveries of a 1bn barrels commercial field by Exxon. The sale of our interest in Ghana will help focus our attention on Guyana. This sale has extinguished our liabilities relating to this license and will significantly improve our working capital going forward. In Namibia, we have completed the 3D Seismic program on our Guy license with our Block partners Azinam, and preparing for next steps. " Holzman concluded that: "We continue to reduce G&A and exposure to our non-core assets and liabilities and remain optimistic about the oil and gas sector, as we adjust our portfolio of licenses. We look forward progressing our work programs in the coming months in both Guyana and Namibia."
