New World CEO William Kelleher said,"Whilst drilling is underway in Belize, progress continues to be made across the Atlantic at our Danish assets.  We have completed the initial interpretation of the 3-D seismic data on our Jensen prospect on block 1/09, and RPS Energy are now compiling the data into an updated CPR which will be available before the end of Q2 2013.  Meanwhile, our recent 2-D programme on block 1/08 has just been completed.  We are eager to receive the results of this programme as the data will reveal which of several large structures already identified we will further de-risk with a 3-D programme.

"All of this newly acquired data will be instrumental in our on-going discussions with potential farm-in partners and I look forward to providing further updates on our progress in both Belize and Denmark in due course."

Notes

New World Oil and Gas Plc is an oil and gas operating company with three highly prospective projects in Belize and Denmark.  New World is operator of all three projects where a systematic programme of seismic acquisition has resulted in multiple prospects being identified and derisked, a number of which have been classified by the Competent Person as being drill ready.  In Belize drilling operations commenced at the West Gallon Jug Crest prospect on 1 March 2013.  New World also operates two projects in onshore Denmark located in producing basins covering a combined area of over 2.6 million acres, making it the largest holder of acreage in Denmark.

Management is constantly evaluating additional projects that would complement the Company's growing portfolio, particularly late stage exploration or early production projects located in basins with large proven reserves that, in the opinion of the Directors, are undervalued, underdeveloped or under-performing.
