Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company plc formerly know as LHP Investments Plc (`Nostra Terra', or the 'Company') Admission to Trading on AIM 20 July 2007 Nostra Terra was today admitted to trading on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange, having raised £350,000 (excluding expenses) on Admission. Nostra Terra through its wholly owned subsidiary, Nostra Terra (Overseas) Limited ("NTOL"), intends to re-open certain wells which were previously producing oil in the area covered by NTOL's Oktyabrskoe Licence in the Tarkhankut Peninsula located on the northwest reaches of the greater Crimean Peninsula and which were capped as being uneconomic in a period when oil prices were at much lower levels. It is expected that the results of this re-opening programme will be known in a relatively short timeframe. In addition, the Company's relationship with the state-owned Krymgeologia, which is a well drilling service company and an exploration and development company for oil and gas assets in Crimea, offers the potential of developing further opportunities for the exploration of other areas within the Crimea, as well as within the rest of Ukraine.

The acquisition of NTOL is regarded by the Directors as being an attractive opportunity to create an oil production company through the re-opening of certain wells which were previously producing oil in the Tarkhankut Peninsula located on the northwest reaches of the greater Crimean Peninsula and which were capped as being uneconomic in a period when oil prices were at much lower levels. The Directors expect the results of this re-opening programme to be known in a relatively short timeframe.
