Consideration for the sale is approximately US$20.8 million, cash.

Completion is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions precedent, including obtaining the approval of various Chinese government bodies, and is expected to occur within 2-3 months.

Commenting, John McGoldrick, Dart Chief Executive Officer said:

'In March 2013 Dart was restructured so as to focus the business on our extensive, high-prospect shale and CBM acreage in the United Kingdom. As part of the restructure various assets were identified as being noncore to the revised strategy, and we began processes in multiple countries that sought to sell, farm-out or exit these non-core assets. We are thus very pleased to have been able to reach today's agreement, which will see us monetise our previous investment in China, providing us with cash which can be redeployed in support of our core business activities.

We continue to actively pursue monetisation of other non-core assets in various international locations, and at the same time we continue discussions aimed at securing one or more appropriate farm-out arrangements'.
