Operational Update - Spud of Velociraptor-1

Spud of the Velociraptor-1 Exploration Well

Petro Matad Limited (AIM:MATD), the AIM quoted Mongolian oil company, is pleased to announce that the Velociraptor-1 exploration well in the Taats Basin of Block V located in central Mongolia spudded on 13 June. The well is the first on the Raptor Trend of prospects located 7km south of the Snow Leopard-1 well drilled in 2018 that proved a working petroleum system in the Taats Basin. Velociraptor-1 is targeting an inversion anticline prospect estimated to have 200 million barrels (MMbo) of Mean Prospective Recoverable Resource potential and is planned to drill to a total depth ("TD") of circa 1,500 metres. The well is expected to take circa 30 days to reach TD and encouraging results in the Velociraptor prospect would significantly de-risk two adjacent prospects on the Raptor Trend which together have Mean Prospective Recoverable Resource potential of an additional 375 MMbo.

Block XX Exploitation Licence

On Block XX, the Ministry of Construction and Urban Development has completed its internal work on the certification of the Company's Exploitation Area as special purpose land and has submitted the documentation to all other government ministries for comment prior to submission to Cabinet. We continue to press the relevant authorities to conclude this process.

Further operational updates will be provided in due course.
