EEB has identified two prospects and one lead onshore as well as sixteen
prospects and leads offshore for further exploration in the Bengkulu PSC.
Proceeds from the private placement are to be used to perform geological

further define and estimate offshore potential resources, as well as to
fund general working capital.
