Mosaic Oil NL (ASX: MOS) highlighted continued production increases on its December Quarterly Report, released today.

The Company remains on-track to implement its strategy of accelerated growth with consistent production increases recorded during the December 08 Quarter. Despite the impact of lower oil prices, increased production in the Surat-Bowen Basin has helped the Company to deliver another strong quarterly result.

Highlights:

• Time adjusted cash receipts of $7.0 million which is the second highest quarterly receipts for the Company
• Mosaic realised an average oil price for the Quarter of US$60.69/bbl or A$89.19/bbl (Sept 08 Quarter – A$154.82/bbl ).
• Cash at the end of the Quarter was $15.27 million.
• Overall production was 26% higher (on a BOE basis) than the previous quarter.
• Gas production increased by 35% due to production from Taylor-19.
• Mosaic continued to evaluate domestic and international exploration and production opportunities.

Mosaic Oil will continue to focus on unlocking shareholder value through an accelerated drilling campaign for the 2009-2010 period.

While pricing for oil declined materially during the quarter, Mosaic Oil is confident that improved gas markets will continue to allow the Company to deliver sound financial results.
