Concerned Shareholders and Directors of Longreach Oil and Gas Limited respond to management communication

TORONTO, Dec. 9, 2013 /CNW/ - Cam Deacon and Dennis Sharp (the "Concerned Shareholders"), in their capacities as shareholders of Longreach Oil and Gas Limited (TSX-V: LOI) ("Longreach" or the "Company") are disappointed by the press release unilaterally disseminated earlier today by management of the Company and without the approval of the Longreach board of directors. The Concerned Shareholders, who are also directors of Longreach, are concerned that the Company's management will waste corporate resources pursuing unnecessary and inappropriate entrenchment tactics. In particular, the statement that the Company's management will fully review the "conduct of the shareholders" clearly signals an attempt to chill shareholders who are seeking to exercise their democratic rights.

Shareholder support for the re-constituted and independent board has been very strong. A re-constituted board and management team for Longreach is expected to be installed shortly.
