The Board of Directors of Armour Energy Ltd advises on progress with the drilling of the Egilabria 2 vertical well in the Company's 100% owned tenement (ATP 1087) in Queensland.

As previously reported on 24th May, the first well stage was drilled to a depth of 322 metres and a 13-3/8" casing was then set and successfully cemented at the base of the Mesozoic sediments of the Carpentaria Basin.

As previously reported on 6th June drilling of the well had progressed to a depth of 545 metres and was progressing through the South Nicholson Group of the Isa Superbasin.

Air hammer drilling with diamond impregnated bits was planned from 545 metres to a planned casing point at 785 metres but this was not possible due to water ingress into the well.
