EastSiberian Provides Update on Latin American Initiatives

ST. HELIER, JERSEY, July 21, 2015 /CNW/ - EastSiberian Plc (TSXV NEX: ESB.H) ("EastSiberian" or the "Corporation"), a Jersey company, today provided an update on its ongoing negotiations to pursue oil and gas opportunities in Latin America.  Further to the Corporation's news release of March 19, 2015, EastSiberian has submitted its request to the Nicaraguan Ministry of Energy and Mines for approval as a qualified exploration and exploitation contractor in Nicaragua and is currently waiting on a response.  In addition, and as a result of a review of additional opportunities available to EastSiberian in Latin America, the Corporation has expanded negotiations to include a broader mandate.  This mandate is preliminary in nature and involves consideration of options including securing a strategic partner as well as other potential value-maximizing transactions, which transactions may involve the acquisition of additional oil and gas interests in Latin America.

There can be no assurances that the Corporation will acquire any oil and gas interests in Latin America, complete a business transaction under its strategic process or that any transaction will provide any value to all or any shareholders.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
