Sound Energy has signed a binding agreement with Oil & Gas Investment Fund S.A.S ('OGIF') whereby OGIF has granted Sound Energy an option to acquire a 55% interest in the Meridja permit, onshore Morocco.

Meridja is adjacent to Sound Energy's existing Tendrara licence and is a highly prospective 9,000 Km2 area with the same fundamental geology as Tendrara, where Sound Energy expects to drill its first well shortly.

OGIF currently holds a 75% interest in a reconnaissance permit over the Meridja area (the 'Reconnaissance Permit'), with the remaining 25% interest held by Morocco's Office National des Hydrocarbures des Mines ('ONHYM').
