Europa's CEO Hugh Mackay said: "We look forward to applying the proceeds of the Placing towards progressing our balanced portfolio of assets. In particular, this will allow us to drill the Kiln Lane prospect on PEDL-181 which is located in a working hydrocarbon system where a number of discoveries have been made in adjacent licences. We estimate Kiln Lane has gross mean un-risked resources of 2.9mmbo and with a 50% interest and operatorship of the licence, and we hope to drill a well in H2 2014."
