SOSINA Exploration Ltd.

Drombeg 2D seismic programme begins in June 2008

7 May 2008

The M.V. CGG Princess will be used to carry out the survey.

SOSINA Exploration Ltd. is pleased to announce that ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Ireland (Offshore) Limited ("ExxonMobil"), as operator of Frontier Exploration Licences (FEL) 1/08 & 2/08, has confirmed that a 2D seismic survey is planned to commence over the licences in June 2008. It is planned to acquire up to c. 3,000 line kilometres of 2D seismic reflection data.

The blocks lie in c. 2,000-3,000 metre water depths and are located c. 200 km off the southwest coast of Ireland. The M.V. CGG Princess will be used to carry out the survey which will entail the acquisition of up to c. 3,000 line kilometres of 2D seismic reflection data.

Partners in the Drombeg project are ExxonMobil (80%) as Operator, with Providence Resources (16%) and SOSINA Exploration (4%) as partners. The FEL 1/08 & 2/08 authorisations cover thirteen offshore blocks, and contain the Drombeg exploration prospect. The area was licensed in March 2008, as part of the Irish government's 2007 Porcupine Licencing Round Initiative.

The partners also hold equivalent interests in the nearby FEL 3/04 ("Dunquin") and LO 1/06 ("Goban Spur") areas, where they have to date carried out extensive subsurface studies including the acquisition and processing of c. 2,000 km of long offset 2D seismic reflection data.
