                              Board Appointments                               

The Directors of Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, the AIM listed production and
exploration company, are pleased to announce that it has appointed Philip
Greenhalgh to its Board of Directors as Finance Director, effective
immediately.

Philip Greenhalgh, aged 46, a Chemical Engineering graduate of Imperial
College, was formally CFO of Whatman plc, an FTSE company where he worked for
four years. Prior to that, Phil worked as Admin Director and Finance Director
at Pharmacia Limited.

In addition, the Directors are pleased to announce the appointment, subject to
contract, of Roderick Corrie, age 46, as a non-executive Director. After
graduating from Cambridge, Roderick followed a career path in finance and
business development, initially with Barclays, then with Liberty International
Finance and latterly as a consultant financier.

Ewen Ainsworth is resigning as Finance Director with immediate effect.

Paul Barrett, Managing Director, said `This double appointment substantially
strengthens the Company's operations. Phil brings a solid public company
finance knowledge base to the company and we are confident that he will play a
key role in the future development of the Company. Roderick's non-executive
function augments the Company's corporate governance and he will be able to
support the Directors in developing the Company's investor relations and
financing strategy'.
