AIM quoted Empyrean Energy PLC today announces that the Sugarloaf 1 well

Subject to results the program could be amended, including extended flow testing
of zones, but is expected to take up to two months to be completed.

upon any material developments and results from these tests.


The information contained in this announcement was completed and reviewed by the
Technical Director of Empyrean Energy Plc, Mr Frank Brophy BSc (Hons) who has
