· Union Jack continues to be cash flow positive covering all corporate, administrative and project operating costs
· As at 21 February 2022, cash balances of £6,163,795 and receivables of £2,071,375

Executive Chairman of Union Jack, David Bramhill, commented: " The revenues of in-excess of US$3,000,000 to Union Jack from Wressle, whilst under test production, are highly positive for the Company, which remains in robust financial health as the above figures illustrate.
"We believe that Wressle holds significant further upside which will be demonstrated over the foreseeable future, and we look forward to reporting on progress in respect of site upgrades and achieving optimum production rates in due course.
"In addition to Wressle, the Company has three other cash generating projects and under current oil prices, remains cashflow positive covering corporate, administrative and project operating costs."
