NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY Marketwire FOR: MONTELLO RESOURCES LTD. TSX VENTURE SYMBOL: MEO NOVEMBER 25, 2008 Montello Provides Update on Highpoint Tennessee, Pincher Creek and Mulligan, Alberta Operations CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 25, 2008) - Montello Resources Ltd. ("Montello") (TSX VENTURE:MEO) is pleased to announce that, subsequent to the issuance by Montello of an independent operations notice to its partners, the well (Pennine Pincher Creek 1-11-4-29 W4M) has been re-entered by Pennine with the objective of confirming the production capability of the Brown Sand formation. Upon the well being opened to flow, gas was recorded at the wellhead and oil flowed to surface from the Brown Sand formation for a continuous period of 33 hours with a total oil recovery of 327 barrels of condensate, at which time the pumpjack was activated but had to be shut down due to overheating. The pumpjack was activated the following morning without being able to pump any fluids to the surface, due to mechanical failure in Montello's opinion. The well has been shut-in and secured pending a technical review of the mechanical pumping configuration. In Tennessee, Montello is currently onsite at the John Bowen No. 2 well, and is heading into day 8 of its completion attempt in the deep gas zone. The Company expects to perforate the zone of interest shortly. As previously announced, cased hole logs that were run by Schlumberger confirmed a potential gas zone at 8,275 feet in the Rome Formation. At Mulligan, Montello has recently completed the construction of a water pipeline, which is allowing the Company to dispose more water including 3rd party sources. This will resolve any potential voidage issues going forward as well as increase daily oil production. As previously announced, Montello is seeking approval for a non-brokered flow-through private placement unit financing consisting of up to 1,550,000 units priced at $0.31 per unit, with proceeds of $480,500 from the offering. The proceeds of the offering will be applied towards Montello's oil and/or natural gas properties in Morgan County, Tennessee, and exploratory-completion activities on Montello's Alberta properties. By month end Montello will have filed its annual engineering report and its audited year end financials. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Montello Resources Ltd. Peter C.
