The Company wishes to advise that Empire Energy Group Limited has transitioned from the OTCQX market to the OTCQB market. The OTCQB is the middle tier of the three marketplaces for trading over- the-counter stocks provided and operated by the OTC Markets. This transition was made to reflect the amount of activity which occurs in the Company's stock on the OTC market and reduce costs whilst still maintaining a market for the Company's ADR's (which are on a 20:1 basis).

Empire Energy is a conventional oil and natural gas producer with operations in Appalachia (New York and Pennsylvania) and the MidCon (Kansas and Oklahoma). The Company has ~14.6 million acres in the McArthur & Beetaloo Basins, Northern Territory, both of which are considered highly prospective for large shale oil and gas resources. Work undertaken by the Company over the past 5 years demonstrates that the Central Trough of the McArthur Basin, (of which the Company holds around 80%), is a major Proterozoic depo-centre that forms one segment of a series of extensive prolific hydrocarbon basins similar to those extending through Oman, Siberia and Southern China and which contain resources of billions of barrels of oil equivalent.
