COMMUNIQUE

TRADING STATEMENT – QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

The Listing Requirements of the Botswana Stock Exchange (“BSE”) require Shumba Energy Ltd (“Shumba” or the “Group”) to announce, through the BSE and the press, any circumstances or events that have, or are likely to have, a material bearing related to the financial results of the Group for the next reporting period.

Accordingly, the shareholders of Shumba are advised that the Company expects to release unaudited results for the 6 months ended 31 December 2016 which will be significantly higher than what was reported for the corresponding period ended 31 December 2015. This is mainly attributable to an unrealised revaluation gain on foreign exchange.

The information in this trading statement has not been reviewed by Shumba’s independent auditors.
