This is a consequence of the Supreme Court Finch ruling in June 2024, which post-dated the original EIA screening decision by the NLC made in July 2023.\n\nThe Operator, Egdon Resources U.K. Limited, will now provide the NLC with an analysis of Scope 3 GHG emissions for the proposed development conducted by an independent third-party specialist company and request a new EIA screening opinion. Depending on the outcome of this decision, a new determination of the Wressle planning application will be made based on either the existing submitted information or with the requirement for a new Environmental Statement.\n\nThis decision has no effect on the existing planning consent at Wressle and production and operations continue with no detriment to Union Jack and its partners.\n\nThe Company holds a 40% interest in the Wressle development.\n\nFor further information, please contact:\n\nUnion Jack Oil plc                                                                                          [info@unionjackoil.com](mailto:info@unionjackoil.com)\n\nDavid Bramhill"}
