Engineering, design phases of Pecos County refinery project to begin immediately
AUSTIN, TEXAS, March 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MMEX Resources Corp. (OTCPK:MMEX), a development stage company focusing on the acquisition, development and financing of oil, gas, refining and infrastructure projects in Texas and South America, and KP Engineering ("KPE"), an energy industry leader in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) solutions, announced today a partnership for KPE to engineer, design and construct the planned Pecos County refinery announced by MMEX earlier this month.

Jack W. Hanks, President & CEO of MMEX Resources Corp., commented: "Plans for the Pecos County refinery are progressing smoothly and rapidly, and the selection of KPE as the project's EPC contractor is an essential first step to beginning the project. With their strong industry experience, knowledge of the Texas market, scalability and agility, KPE is an ideal partner for MMEX on this project."

On March 7, MMEX announced plans to build a crude oil refinery in the Permian Basin near Fort Stockton, Texas, subject to the receipt of required governmental permits and completion of required debt and equity financing. The state-of-the-art refinery project, with plans to export crude oil, fuels and petroleum products to western Mexico and South America, would generate approximately 400 local jobs during peak construction and approximately 100 permanent jobs upon becoming fully operational.

"We are humbled that MMEX Resources has chosen KPE to assist them in constructing a state-of-the-art crude processing and transport facility for the Permian Basin," said Brandon T. Steele, Chairman and CEO of KP Engineering. "KP Engineering employs some of the finest professionals in the industry and we are excited to be working alongside MMEX Resources Corp. as their EPC firm on this important project and look forward to commencing work immediately."

MMEX and KPE also announced today that KPE plans to subcontract with Interstate Treating, Inc./RAMA Fabrication, Inc. of Odessa, Texas to engineer and fabricate vessels and process modules for the refinery, allowing for the Pecos County refinery to be constructed using U.S.-sourced materials and equipment.

Hanks concluded: "MMEX Resources is committed to delivering an American-made, state-of-the-art refinery that brings significant economic and job opportunities to the Permian. We're proud to work alongside KP Engineering, Interstate Treating/RAMA and the Pecos County community to bring the Pecos County refinery to life."

Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 13, 2017, MMEX Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Master Services Agreement with Trinity Consultants, Inc. (“ Trinity”) engaging Trinity to file and process the necessary Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and EPA Region 6 Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) /New Source Review (NSR) Construction Permit and Title V Federal Operating Permit which, if successful, would give MMEX the governmental permissions to build its proposed $450 million, 50,000 barrels per day capacity crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas (the “ Refinery Transaction” or the “Project”).

There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to obtain the requisite permits.

The Company has received several requests from its stockholders for additional information regarding the status of the Pecos County Refinery Project development and accordingly discloses the following information:

(1) On February 20, 2017 the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) for the Project location which consists of 500 contiguous acres located on the Texas Pacific Railroad, about 20 miles northeast of Ft. Stockton, Pecos County Texas in the southern part of the Permian Basin. The Company plans to commence the week of April 17, 2017, the survey on the land and other due diligence. The closing date on the land is on or before 180 days from the date of the PSA which was February 20, 2017.

(2) On March 25, 2017 the Company entered into an EPC Contract with KP Engineering, LP (“KPE”). KPE will perform a scoping study, to design and engineer the Refinery. The scoping study, once approved by the Company, will lead to a more detailed FEED study, which is a front- end engineering and design study. This will give the Company more detailed cost numbers and product slate output. The FEED Study is estimated to take another 90 days from the date the scoping study is approved. The EPC Contract provides that KPE will be the EPC contractor to construct the Project.

(3) On February 27, 2017 the Company entered into a confidential engagement letter with a consulting firm to assist the Company in designing the marketing and refined product distribution plan.

(4) On April 13, 2017 the Company entered into the agreement with Trinity described above.
