Montello Puts Morgan Highpoint # 3 "Discovery" Well On Production & Encounters Hydrocarbons at Highpoint # 4 "Test" Well

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 27, 2008) - Montello Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MEO) ("Montello") as to a 35% earned interest, and its JV Partners; Austin Developments Corp. - TSX Venture Exchange Symbol "AUL", as to a 30% earned interest, Blackrock Petroleum Corp. - OTCBB "BRPC", as to a 30% earned interest, and Park Place Energy Corp. - OTCBB "PRPL", as to a 5% earned interest, are pleased to announce that they have completed the drilling, logging, and evaluation of the Morgan Highpoint # 3 "Discovery" Well.

In excess of 250 barrels of light gravity oil flowed to surface during an eight-hour production test on the Morgan Highpoint # 3 "Discovery" Well with an associated high gas/oil ratio. These results led to the decision to place the well on production.

Production optimization levels will be determined once additional storage facilities and oil transportation arrangements are in place.

After encountering hydrocarbons during drilling operations on the Morgan Highpoint # 4 Test Well, Montello is now evaluating results prior to preparing the completion program.

The Company is extremely encouraged by results to date at Highpoint. A multi-well drilling program is now being finalized on mineral leases that have already been acquired by Montello and its JV Partners.
