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 Ltd are pleased to provide an update on the UMU-8 well
in the Umusadege field.


The UMU-8 well has reached a final total drilling depth of 8593 feet. Open hole
wireline logs have been run with results indicating a total of 16 hydrocarbon
bearing sands. The well logs indicate a cumulative gross pay of approximately
385 feet in the 16 sands encountered by the well.


All of the UMU-8 well's primary objectives, including the IX, XI, XIIa, XIIb,
and XV sands were hydrocarbon bearing sands based on well log interpretation
with results indicating gross oil pay of 32 feet, 14 feet, 39 feet, 26 feet and
11 feet respectively. 9 5/8" production casing has successfully been run and
cemented. 


The next phase of operations will include perforating the five sands and the
installation of completion equipment consisting of a dual tubing string (3 1/2
inch and 2 7/8 inch) configuration. The 3 1/2 inch tubing will have the XV, XIIa
and XIIb sands completed and the 2 7/8 inch tubing will have the XI and IX sands
completed allowing for future multi-zone production. After the completion
equipment is installed, testing on the five individual sands will be conducted.
While the dual string will allow for completion and testing of the five sands,
it is anticipated that only two sands will initially be produced at any given
time.


By way of update, negotiations with the operator of the export pipeline to
increase export capacity for the Umusadege field are ongoing and have not yet
been finalized. Mart and its co-venturers are continuing to evaluate new
pipeline and export options to provide an alternative for future production
capacity.


Chairman's comment:

Wade Cherwayko, Chairman and CEO of Mart, said "Initial interpretation of the
logs for the UMU-8 well indicate the primary objective sands are hydrocarbon
bearing, including the XI and XV sands that have no proved or probable reserves
assigned to them. If testing of the XI and XV sands is successful, the Umusadege
field reserves could be increased from previously disclosed reserve estimates."
