Commenting, Andrew Benitz, CEO of Longreach, said:"Longreach has worked
hard to be where we are today; with Saipem now
contracted for the upcoming drilling programme on Sidi Moktar, we are
in the final stages of what is an incredibly exciting time for
Longreach and its shareholders. Having a dual listing will add another
string to our bow and we are pleased to be announcing our intention to
come to London's AIM market."

Outlook

Longreach expects to participate in the drilling of a number of wells
during this year and into next year, which range from reasonably low
risk to high impact exploration. This work programme is well funded
and if successful, has the potential to transform Longreach's business.
