   Tethys Petroleum Press Release 
 
   (TSX: TPL, LSE: TPL) 
 
   Tethys Petroleum Limited to cancel listing in the United Kingdom 
 
   GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS - Tethys Petroleum Limited ("Tethys" or the 
"Company") today announces that it has applied to the United Kingdom 
Listing Authority ("UKLA") to cancel the standard listing of the 
Company's ordinary shares (the "Shares") from the Official List of the 
UKLA and the cancellation of trading in the Shares on the Main Market of 
the London Stock Exchange (together, the "Cancellation"), following a 
determination by the Company that the costs of maintaining a dual 
listing on the London and Toronto stock exchanges is unnecessarily 
expensive for a company of Tethys' size.  Following the Cancellation, 
the Shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange which 
should provide shareholders with liquidity and places sufficient 
corporate governance requirements upon the Company.  Further, the 
Company's conclusion, that the London listing be cancelled, is supported 
by the limited trading and liquidity of the Shares on the London Stock 
Exchange (meaning that limited benefit is brought by that listing). 
 
   Pursuant to Listing Rule 5.2.8, the Company announces that the 
cancellation notice period has now commenced and cancellation is 
expected to take effect at 7:00 am on Tuesday 2 May, 2017. 
 
   The Company currently has two share registers, a register maintained by 
Capita Asset Services in the UK and a register maintained by TSX Trust 
Company in Canada. It is the Company's intention to transfer the 
shareholdings on the Capita Asset Services register to the TSX Trust 
Company register following the Cancellation which should result in 
further cost savings for the Company. Those shareholders affected will 
be contacted about this with further details in due course.

   Tethys is focused on oil and gas exploration and production activities
