                NELSON RESOURCES ANNOUNCES MAILING OF MANAGEMENT
                INFORMATION CIRCULAR REGARDING THE LUKOIL OFFER

Toronto, Ontario, November 4, 2005

Nelson Resources Limited ("Nelson") of Bermuda (TSX/AIM: NLG) is pleased to
announce the mailing to its shareholders of the Management Information Circular
(the "Circular") in connection with a special general meeting of its
shareholders to consider the proposed amalgamation of Nelson with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LUKOIL Overseas Holding Ltd. ("Lukoil") (the
"Amalgamation"). The meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. (UK time) on December 2,
2005, at the London Hilton on Park Lane, Coronation Room, 22 Park Lane, London
W1K 1BE, United Kingdom (the "Meeting"). The Circular has been mailed to all
shareholders of record as of October 25, 2005 (the "Shareholders"). Interested
parties may also view the Circular on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com and on
the Nelson website at www.nelsonresources.com commencing on November 7, 2005.

Under the terms of the Amalgamation, Lukoil will acquire all of the issued and
outstanding common shares of Nelson it does not already own in consideration for
US$2.19162 in cash. As discussed in the Circular, the Board of Directors of
Nelson unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the
Amalgamation.

For the Amalgamation to be approved by the Shareholders in accordance with
applicable law, the amalgamation resolution must be passed by at least 75% of
the votes cast by the Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at
the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Lukoil announced on October 14, 2005 that its wholly-owned subsidiary Caspian
Investments Resources Ltd. had acquired from four shareholders an aggregate of
566,393,162 common shares of Nelson representing approximately 65% of the issued
and outstanding common shares of Nelson. Based on enquiries made by or on behalf
of a special committee of independent directors of Nelson, the facts in
connection with the Amalgamation are understood to be such that neither Ontario
Securities Commission Rule 61-501 - Insider Bids, Issuer Bids, Going Private
Transactions and Related Party Transactions nor Policy Q27 - Protection of
Minority Securityholders in the Course of Certain Transactions of the Autorite
des marches financiers (Quebec) require a formal valuation or the exclusion of
any votes in the calculation of the threshold for approval of the Amalgamation.

All Shareholders are urged to read the Circular in its entirety as well as any
other documents incorporated by reference in the Circular and filed or to be
filed with the applicable regulatory authorities in Canada and available on the
SEDAR website.
