MMT Mart Resources

Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its
partners, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company PLC (Field Operator) and Suntrust Oil
Co Ltd are pleased to announce that all requisite Government approvals have been
obtained, all surface land rights have been acquired and site preparation has
commenced for the drilling of the UMU-6 development well located on the
Umusadege Field. Two development wells are currently in production on the
Umusadege Field, UMU-1 and UMU-5.


The drilling of the UMU-6 well is the first stage of Mart and its partners' 2010
development drilling program, which will also include re-completing the existing
UMU-1 and UMU-5 wells from single zone to multiple zone producers. Additional
development drilling on the Umusadege Field will be evaluated following
completion of the drilling of the UMU-6 well.


The UMU-6 well is scheduled to be drilled as a vertical well to a depth of
approximately 8,800 feet and it is anticipated that the well will be completed
as a dual zone producer. The UMU-6 well is located adjacent to the producing
UMU-5 and UMU-1 wells which, assuming drilling success, will allow for easy
access to nearby production facilities. 


Production for the Umusadege Field in the first quarter 2010 averaged 3,843
bopd. The UMU-5 well came on stream in April 2009 and has produced 777,299
barrels of oil to date, with stable production during the first quarter of 2010
averaging 2,137 barrels of oil per day (bopd). UMU-1 well production averaged
1,706 bopd in the first quarter of 2010.


Wade Cherwayko, Chairman & CEO of Mart, said "The drilling of the UMU-6 well
advances the objectives of Mart and its partners to fully develop the reserves
contained in the Umusadege Field. The Umusadege Field's continued stable
production, averaging of 3,843 barrels of oil per day in Q1 2010, combined with
firmer oil prices has enabled Mart to generate sufficient cash flow to reduce
trade payables, reduce bank debt and to commence the development drilling
program. Mart remains focused on increasing shareholder value over the short to
medium term by developing the Umusadege Field."
