October 14, 2008: Consolidated Beacon Resources Ltd. ("Beacon" or "the company") (TSXV:KBC) is pleased to confirm that, after the processing and interpretation of its recently acquired 3-D data, the operator has licensed the first two well locations in the 2008 drilling program north of Bakersfield, California. The locations for these two wells are being prepared for drilling as negotiations continue with the drilling contractor. The drilling program will commence immediately upon the availability of a suitable rig.

The Company is encouraged with the developments for the San Joaquin project, and is exploring opportunities in increasing its interest in the project and other potential projects in the San Joaquin Basin. Beacon continues to maintain and expand its land position in Southern California.

Beacons Corporate Headquarters has been moved to Vancouver, B.C. while the Operating Headquarters remains in Calgary, Alberta. The Company is also pleased to retain the services of Mr. Richard Hawes, P.Geol., for the evaluation of potential oil and gas projects.

San Joaquin Overview

Since March 2006, Beacon has been engaged in the business of acquiring medium and heavy oil prospects in the San Joaquin Basin, California in the San Joaquin East Side Project Joint Venture, (the "San Joaquin JV") on and around the Bakersfield Arch.

The San Joaquin Joint Venture has focused its initial efforts on a 10-mile wide north-south exploration fairway between the Round Mountain and Mount Poso oilfields to the east, the Kern Front and Poso Creek oilfields to the west, and the Kern River oilfield to the south.

Beacon's partners in the San Joaquin JV are Daybreak Oil & Gas Inc., California Oil & Gas Corporation, Calstar Oil & Gas Ltd. and the technical team that originated the project. A committee has been assembled from the various partners and is responsible for the overall management of the San Joaquin JV.

The San Joaquin Basin of South Central California is targeted for oil exploration for several reasons which are:

1. The East Slopes of the San Joaquin Basin are a very prolific oil-prone area, with approximately 13,000 historic wells.

2. There has been no significant exploration on the eastern flanks of the San Joaquin Basin since the 1960's.

3. Older production methods are still employed; newer production techniques should improve rate of production.

4. The basin is very close to major markets, and has infrastructure and services in place ~ 21 miles to three oil refineries, capacity 116,000 BOPD.

5. USGS recently (2007) estimated remaining undiscovered resources in the San Joaquin Basin:

· 393 million barrels undiscovered oil

· 1.7 Tcf undiscovered natural gas

· 59 million barrels undiscovered natural gas liquids
