MMT Mart Resources

Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) and its partners, Midwestern Oil and Gas
Company PLC (Operator) and SunTrust Oil Company Nigeria Limited, are pleased to
report positive initial results from the second production test on the UMU-5
well located at the Umusadege field in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.


A second test on the UMU-5 well was conducted on the VII oil zone, at a depth of
7,255 feet, for a duration of 18 hours. During the test, the well flowed at
rates up to 725 barrels per day of 30 API gravity oil through 2 7/8 inch tubing
on a 16/64" choke at a flowing tubing pressure of 388 PSI. Basic Sediment and
Water production was 2.5% consisting of drilling mud and completion fluid. The
test was curtailed due to concerns over sand production, which is a common
feature of shallow reservoirs in the Niger Delta and routinely controlled by the
installation of downhole gravel packs and sand screens that hold the sand back
in the reservoir.


As previously announced, the first test on the UMU-5 well was conducted on the
IX oil zone, at a depth of 7,595 feet, for a duration of 17 hours. During the
test, the well flowed at stabilized rates up to 3,200 barrels per day of 48 API
gravity oil through 2 7/8 inch tubing on a 32/64" choke at a flowing tubing
pressure of 625 PSI. Water production was less than 0.2% and the gas/oil ratio
was approximately 80 standard cubic feet per barrel. The combined flow rate for
the UMU-5 from the VII and IX zones was 3925 barrels oil per day.


The UMU-5 well has been tied into the Umusadege production and export facilities
and the partners plan to commence commercial production from the IX zone
immediately following analysis of the crude oil samples and receipt of all
requisite approvals, which are currently anticipated by the end of March 2009.
