December 5, 2008: Consolidated Beacon Resources Ltd. (TSXV:KBC), "Beacon" or "the company" announces the Sunday #1 well has been successfully drilled, logged, and cased to a total depth of 3065 ft.

The Nabors Drilling Rig #472 has since been moved to drill the second well, Olancha #1 which commenced drilling 3rd December 2008.

Based on logging results, the Sunday #1 well encountered 24 ft of potential oil pay with 31% estimated porosity in a zone within the Vedder Formation. A program is currently being prepared to complete, test and place the Sunday #1 well on production.

The Sunday #1 well was the first of a planned four well exploration drilling program by Beacon and its partners (the "Partners"). The four well locations were selected for Vedder Formation targets based on interpretation of a 35.2 mi.² 3-D seismic program acquired over an Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) in late 2007. After drilling to basement of the four Vedder Formation exploration wells, the interests in the AMI will be Chevron 50% and the Partners 50%. After completion of the drilling program, Beacon's net interest in the AMI will be 12.5% before payout, 6.25% after payout.

The Sunday #1 location was drilled directionally to test multiple fault controlled Vedder Formation targets identified by seismic in a relatively unexplored area. Based on log and core analysis, the Sunday #1 well encountered highly porous and permeable sandstone reservoirs which could contain 15° API to 25° API crude oil.

Charles Desjardins, President of Beacon, states "The success of the Sunday #1 well bodes well for further exploration in the area. The San Joaquin Basin has been a very prolific oil producer, but until now, the AMI area had not been explored with modern seismic techniques. The high quality seismic program acquired by Beacon and its Partners in late 2007 identified over a dozen potential exploration prospects. Successful exploration and development of these prospects could add significant oil production to benefit the company and its partners."

Beacon is continuing to look for opportunities to expand its exploration and production interests in the San Joaquin Basin. The industry downturn is expected to present investment opportunities in the area, which has a mature pipeline and refining infrastructure and a strong service industry base.
