("Zenith" or the "Company")

Update on Benin PSC

Zenith Energy Ltd. (LSE: ZEN; OSE: ZENA), the international energy production and development company, announces that it has decided to discontinue negotiations with the Ministry of Water and Mines of the Republic of Benin for the finalisation of a Production Sharing Contract for Block 1, containing the Sèmè oilfield.

The Board has taken the decision following a comprehensive evaluation of recent geopolitical developments in the vicinity of Benin, the significant long-term investment required to successfully develop the Sèmè oilfield, and the material progress made in other jurisdictions where Zenith now intends to maximise its technical and financial resources with comparatively reduced risk for the Company’s shareholders.
