Summary of Chairman's AGM statement and remarks (26 April, 2017)

U.S. Oil & Gas Plc, ("USOIL" or the “Company”), the oil and gas exploration company with assets in Nevada, provides the following summary of the Chairman’s Statement and remarks delivered at the AGM of 25 April 2017. Please note that the statements in this communication reflect the current thinking of the Board and the Company’s present plans. The Company reserves the right to alter plans in the light of developing knowledge and circumstances. Shareholders’ attention is drawn to the note below concerning Forward-looking Statements.

Intention to drill
The Company is funded to drill two wells while at the same time preserving 12 months working capital. Planning is complete for three wells, of which two will be drilled. Two of the planned wells (Eb-1a and Eb-3) target updip Tertiary zones with the possibility of drilling deeper to the Paleozoics. One planned well (Eb-6) is sited optimally for the Paleozoics and would in addition penetrate Tertiary zones of interest. Eb-3 and Eb-6 are vertical wells. Eb-1a is deviated (sidetracked) and will be drilled from the existing Eblana #1 well pad.

The wells to be drilled are Eb-1a and Eb-3, the order to be determined at a later stage. Drilling permits will be required for both wells. Preparatory work for permit applications, including engineering details, is near complete, and applications will be submitted to regulatory authorities in the near future. Drilling in August/September of 2017 is a reasonable expectation subject to permissions. Discussions with drilling companies are currently underway.

Trading Facility
The Board takes the view that at present the Company has insufficient funds both to drill two wells and to list on a recognised exchange, due to the potential listing costs. If sufficient further funds are raised and/or when drilling is completed, the Board will reconsider the listing option.
