[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 1727W Upland Resources Limited 07 February 2017 \n\n7 February 2017\nUPLAND RESOURCES LIMITED\n(\"Upland\" or the \"Company\")\n\nWressle Development Update \nUpland Resources Limited, the independent oil and gas company building a portfolio of attractive upstream assets, is pleased to note that Egdon Resources (\"Egdon Resources\"), as Operator of petroleum exploration and development licences (\"PEDLs\") 180 and 182, has today announced its plans to bring forward an appeal against the decision of North Lincolnshire Council in respect of the refusal of planning for the existing application for the Wressle development at the earliest opportunity. Egdon Resources further advises that it plans to file a new application for the Wressle development. Both the appeal and the new application are set to be progressed as quickly as possible.\nUpland's wholly-owned subsidiary, Upland Resources (UK Onshore) Limited (\"Upland UK\"), entered into a conditional agreement dated 24 November 2016 for the farm-in by Upland UK (by way of assignment from Europa Oil & Gas Limited) to a 10% interest in each of UK onshore PEDLs 180 and 182, including the Wressle development (the \"Wressle Farm-in Agreement\"). Completion of the Wressle Farm-in Agreement is conditional on receipt of certain planning and other approvals. \nThe full text of the announcement from Egdon Resources is set out below. \nSteve Staley, Upland's CEO, commented:\n\"We are pleased that Egdon Resources has chosen to prioritise both an appeal of the North Lincolnshire Council's decision as well as a new application which will address the specific concerns outlined in the initial refusal. The Wressle development provides an opportunity for new onshore UK production and, as previously highlighted, we expect that initial production would be an estimated 50 bbl/day net to us, with further upside potential included in the surrounding geology. We look forward to updating the market again in due course.\n2017 is set to be another significant period for the business and Upland's strong balance sheet and proven experience in the field makes the Company well placed to execute on new opportunities. We look forward to a productive year.\"\n \nFor more information, please contact:\n\n\n\n\nUpland Resources Limited\nSteve Staley, CEO\n \n\n\nw...
