ASX Announcement
Board and Management Update
Exoma Energy Limited (ASX: EXE) announces the
retirement from the Board of Directors of Dr Dave Mathew. Dr
Mathew, an independent non executive Director of the Company,
has advised the Board that his other business interests and
associated international travel would not allow him to devote
sufficient time to meet the demands of Exoma's planned
increased project activities over the next two years.
Dr Mathew said: "I am very proud to have been part of the
team that has put Exoma on the map as an operator. In 2011
the Company made a conventional oil discovery that
establishes a new model for oil exploration in the Eromanga
Basin and has begun to demonstrate the Toolebuc Shale as a
potential new oil and gas resource. 2012 is scheduled to be
an extremely important year for Exoma as it consolidates its
CSG exploration and begins to appraise its liquids
projects."
Chairman Brian Barker thanked Dr Mathew for his extremely
valuable contribution to the development of the Company's
exploration program and for his counsel as a respected member
of the Board.
Mr Barker further commented that Exoma would now proceed to
evaluate and discuss with qualified interested parties the
roll of independent non-executive director to replace Dr
Mathew.
Appointment of Mr Vic Palanyk
Mr Vic Palanyk has joined Exoma as General Manager-
Subsurface with responsibility for operational geology,
reservoir engineering and reserve building. Mr Palanyk was
most recently with Bow Energy Limited prior to its takeover
by Arrow Energy, where he held the position of Chief
Operating Officer and managed the expansion of the Company
and building of CSG resources and reserves across the
Company's numerous projects.
Brian Barker said "Vic's experience in the industry over the
past 30+ years and in particular his experience in
transitioning companies from exploration to development and
production will prove invaluable to Exoma's plans for 2012
and beyond. Vic, along with two other senior Exoma
executives, is presently visiting US service companies to
discuss Exoma's Toolebuc Shale oil and gas results from
the 2011 drilling program."
