Colombia Update and Investor Presentations

Gold Oil, the AIM-listed oil and gas exploration and production company, (AIM: GOO), with a primary focus on opportunities in Latin America, is pleased to announce the following:

Colombia Update 

The operator of the Azar Block located in the Putumayo Basin in Colombia has informed Gold Oil that the drilling of the La Vega Este -1 well on the block is due to commence in April, once the civil works have been finalised and the rig becomes available from its current drilling commitment.  The La Vega Este -1 well will target primarily the Villetta formation with the Caballos as a secondary objective.  Gold Oil is currently producing from the Villetta formation in its Nancy Burdine field.

Gold Oil has a 20% interest in the block (subject to ANH approval) but under a prior commercial agreement will only contribute 10% to the costs of the well.  The well is expected to take 35 days excluding testing and completion.
