Quarterly Activities Report for the Quarter Ended 31 March 2016
Hawkley Oil & Gas Limited ("Hawkley" or "The Company") provides the following report on activities for the quarter ended 31 March 2016.
Sale of Ukraine Assets
On 2 February 2016, the Company announce the sale of its Ukraine assets to Tomeas Assets Ltd for US$1,000,000. The sale agreement was subsequently approved by shareholders on 16 March 2016. An initial deposit of US$100,000 was received when the agreement was announced. Hawkley has now provided all information and assistance sought by the buyer and it is anticipated that the transaction will be completed and the remaining balance received early in May 2016.
Completion of the sale will end a long association with Ukraine, since acquiring the Sorychynska and Chernetska licences in 2007 and successfully completing drilling of well 201 on the Sorochynska licence in 2010. Production from well 201 ceased in December 2014 due to water influx and efforts to restart production were not successful.
