Upon completion of the transaction, Longreach will become
a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Exoma.

The $2 million placement, previously announced as part of the transaction,
was completed on 22 October 2009 and, with the ATPs transfer, allows Exoma
to proceed to issue the securities to the Vendors as approved by
Shareholders.
Managing Director David Rowbottam said "The acquisition by Exoma of the
Galilee Basin acreage has presented the Company with the opportunity to
develop significant gas resources through planned exploration programs.
There is over 4,000 line km of existing Seismic and over 100 exploration
wells on the ATPs providing the Company with an excellent data set to
establish a drilling campaign.
"The Company has engaged petroleum consultants MBA Consulting in Brisbane
to assist with the extensive regional mapping and geological interpretive
work presently being undertaken.
Work to date has expanded the initial
drilling program from 3 wells to 15 wells with additional targets being
identified over this extensive area," Mr.
Rowbottam said.
