LISTING ON THE OPEN MARKET, FRANKFURT STOCK EXCHANGE
African Petroleum Corporation Limited ("African Petroleum" or the "Company"),
an independent oil and gas exploration company operating ten licences in five
countries offshore West Africa, has today been advised that the shares of the
Company have been listed on the Open Market (Regulated Unofficial Market) of
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the WKN (German securities identification
code) A1C1G9.
The Company advises that the Open Market is not an organised market in the
sense of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG - Wertpapierhandelsgesetz)
and that there are no ongoing obligations for the Company in respect to the
listing on the Open Market.
The Directors believe that a listing on the Open Market may result in the
Company's shares obtaining an additional trading avenue with possible
benefits of enhancing share trading liquidity.
Stuart Lake, African Petroleum's Chief Executive Officer, comments:
"Further to recent investor roadshows by the Company in Germany and
Switzerland we are pleased to learn that our shares have been listed on the
Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, as this will facilitate easier
access to trading in our shares by retail investors in these countries where we
know there to be existing demand."

About African Petroleum
African Petroleum is a dynamic, independent oil and gas exploration company
operating ten licences in five countries offshore West Africa. The Company's
assets are located in fast-emerging hydrocarbon basins, principally the West
African Transform Margin, where several discoveries have been made in recent
years, including African Petroleum's Narina-1 discovery in February 2012,
which proved a working hydrocarbon system in the Liberian basin. With a
combined net acreage position of 30,378km2 through its licences in Côte
d'Ivoire, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone and The Gambia, the Company has
matured its portfolio rapidly, acquiring more than 18,500km2 of 3D seismic
data and successfully drilling three wells, one of which was the first
hydrocarbons discovery in the offshore Liberian deep-water basin.
