MMT Mart Resources

Mart Resources, Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MMT) ("Mart" or the "Company") and its
co-venturers, Midwestern Oil and Gas Company Plc. (Operator of the Umusadege
field) and SunTrust Oil Company Limited, are pleased to report encouraging
initial test results from the first zone tested on the UMU-7 well located in the
Umusadege field, onshore Nigeria. 


The first test on the UMU-7 well was conducted on the XII(c) sand, a 17 foot oil
zone, which flowed at a stabilized rate of 2,459 barrels oil per day ("bopd") of
36 API gravity oil through 2 7/8 inch tubing on a 40/64 inch choke at a flowing
tubing pressure of 180 psi. Basic sediment and water (BS&W) was 15% with gas/oil
ratio of approximately 21 standard cubic feet per barrel. 


Testing of the XIV sand is currently underway, with tests on the X and XVI(a) to
follow. Further updates will be provided on these sands once initial testing has
been completed.


The UMU-7 well has been completed using a dual-tubing string configuration with
the XVI (a) and XIV sands completed in the 3 1/2 inch tubing string and the
XII(c) and X sands completed in the 2 7/8 inch tubing string. As a result of the
completion technology used, the four zones that have been completed can be
opened and closed at any time.

by the UMU-7 well), the ability of the Company to successfully drill other wells
on the Umusadege field and the ability of the Company to fund future drilling
operations should all be viewed as forward-looking statements. Flow rates
established during initial tests are preliminary only, are not necessarily
indicative of future production rates and may change materially as the UMU-7
well stabilizes. The flow rates in zones tested is not necessarily indicative
that other zones will be productive, including zones where preliminary results
indicate that the sands were hydrocarbon bearing. In addition to the foregoing,
certain factors can affect the ability of the Company to deliver oil that may be
produced and can cause production shutdowns. These can include planned
maintenance programs or unpredictable and unplanned external factors such as
accidental or deliberate damage to pipelines and other facilities upon which the
Company is reliant. When such disruptions occur, it may not possible to predict
how long such disruptions may last or how long a shutdown may occur.
