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 provide an operational
update on the Umusadege field, onshore Nigeria.


UMU-9 Well Update

The UMU-9 well commenced drilling operations on November 18, 2011 and is
currently at a depth of 4,015 feet in the 16 inch upper hole section. The next
activity will include running and cementing 13 3/8 inch casing in the upper hole
section. Drilling will then continue in the intermediate section with a 12 1/4
inch hole to approximately 8,300 feet, followed by running 9 5/8 inch casing.
The bottom hole deviated section will then be drilled with a 8 1/2 inch hole to
total measured depth of approximately 11,000 feet.


Main objectives for UMU-9 are:



i.  To appraise the extension of the shallower reservoirs discovered and
    producing in the main culmination of the UMU-1, -5, -6, -7 and -8 wells.
    These sands will be intersected in the drilling of the vertical section
    of the well, which will then be cased prior to drilling ahead to the
    deeper targets.  
    
    
ii. To deviate and explore the deeper untested targets (including the C0
    sand) while running a measurement while drilling ("MWD") tool followed
    by a logging while drilling ("LWD") tool to evaluate the potential
    hydrocarbon bearing zones.



November Production Update

Field oil injection into the export pipeline was approximately 9,053 barrels of
oil per day during the period between November 1, 2011 and November 15, 2011.
The Umusadege field experienced no production downtime over this period. 


Negotiations with Agip, the Nigeria operator of the export pipeline, to increase
export capacity for the Umusadege field have been ongoing and are believed to be
nearing conclusion.
