"The continued support that we receive from His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Dalmook Juma Al Maktoum is gratefully received and I am delighted that he is increasing his exposure to Oracle Power as a long-term strategic investor.  With the overall shareholding of HH Private Office increasing by 50%, I believe that today's exercise of warrants reinforces His Highness's confidence in the quality of our existing interests and our ability to deliver on our commercial milestones.  This is also a testament to the trust he places in the management of the Company and the belief he has in Oracle's potential to grow into an international natural resource and power developer. The management is striving to expedite progress at Thar Block VI Project and achieve its stated commercial and operational objectives. The board appreciates the support of its strategic and investment partners and remains committed to delivering high returns for the benefit of all stakeholders."
