Re Press Comment on Woodburn Forest

InfraStrata plc (AIM:INFA), the independent petroleum exploration and gas storage company, notes recent press comment on the Woodburn Forest project and that an individual has been granted leave for a judicial review with the local authority regarding the Woodburn Forest site. InfraStrata is a notice party. A date for a hearing has not yet been set. A further request by the individual to seek an injunction to stop the drilling has not been pursued and the Company continues to progress with its drilling programme and will update the market as necessary.

The Company has no further information on the matter at this stage, although it is aware of ongoing protest regarding the site. The local authority and other agencies have been and are addressing complaints from the individual and protesters regarding the Company's operations on the site and the Company has provided all possible co-operation in that respect. InfraStrata has all of the required statutory approvals and consents to drill the well and will continue to comply with these and ensure that the operations are safe and the environment is protected.
