S&P Capital IQ Initiates Coverage on Tangiers Petroleum Ltd. in Standard & Poor's Factual Stock Reports

S&P Capital IQ announced today that it has commenced Standard & Poor's Factual Stock Report coverage on Tangiers Petroleum Ltd.

Tangiers Petroleum Limited (ASX:TPT) explores oil and gas resources in Australia and in the Kingdom of Morocco. It holds interest in the Tarfaya Offshore Block located in the Kingdom of Morocco; 90% interest in WA-442-P and NTP/81 exploration permits located in the Bonaparte Basin offshore in the Northern Australia; and 80% interest in ATP-587-P Cooper/Eromanga basins in the onshore Queensland.

The Tarfaya Block, offshore Morocco, includes eight permits totaling 15,041 square kilometers (approximately 3.7 million acres) situated on the Atlantic Margin, inboard from the Canary Islands. The Block is located within a proven petroleum system and contains multiple prospects and leads within Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments as well as emerging potential within the Tertiary and Triassic Formations. An independent report prepared by worldwide petroleum consultant Netherland Sewell and Associates Inc. ("NSAI") on Tangiers Petroleum's initial four Jurassic-aged prospects established an un-risked best estimate prospective resource of 867 million barrels of oil and a high side of 4,959 million barrels of oil.

TPT is the Operator and owns a 75% interest in the Block, with the Moroccan government (OHNYM) being carried for its 25% interest through individual exploration programs. OHNYM retains the option to convert to a 25% working interest in any hydrocarbon pool that is developed. The Tarfaya Offshore Block includes the La Dam, Assaka, Trident, Tarfaya Marin-A and Zeus and Little Zeus Prospects.
