MEO Montello Resources Ltd (Tier2)

Montello Resources Ltd. ("Montello") (TSX VENTURE:MEO) wishes to provide the
following update on the status of operations in Tennessee and Alberta.


Montello Resources USA Ltd., the Operator, has been diligently making
arrangements with Service Contractors for the proposed stimulation of the Morgan
Highpoint Wells and for the testing-completion of the John Bowen #2 gas zone.
The goal has been to commence these operations once "Services" were organized
and the AFE signed. Montello apologizes for the lack of information pertaining
to the project prior to July 31st, as this was prior to all of the JV Partners
having signed the AFE for the first project to proceed. Peter Brown recently
commented, "I have been reviewing previous work and data since coming aboard and
would like to determine the extent of the potential at Highpoint and elsewhere
in Tennessee so it is important to commence this next stage of operations
imminently."


Elsewhere, Montello continues to participate in the condensate discovery in
Pincher Creek, where it has a 25% working interest in a well that tested
significantly from 2 zones (Please see our news releases of September 27th and
October 4th, 2007 and our Quarterly MD&A's filed on www.sedar.com). The final
work to bring on the condensate is anticipated to commence following a
successful "Right of Way Hearing" - posted August 7th by the ERCB (Energy
Resources Conservation Board) and scheduled for Tuesday, September 30th, 2008.
An application was submitted by our operator for approval to construct and
operate a pipeline that would be approximately 0.26 kilometres in length.
Montello anticipates participating in further activities in the Pincher Creek
area along the discovered condensate trend once this step is completed.


To assist Montello with such matters going forward on either side of the border,
the Company is pleased to announce the advisory assistance of Mr. Darrell
Davidson of Calgary, Alberta. Darrell has 30 years of business management
experience that encompasses "Pipeline and Power Line Right of Way Management",
as well as Land Brokerage for the resource industry for surface, freehold and
crown mineral and oil and gas leases in British Columbia, Alberta, and
Saskatchewan. He also has extensive experience in sales, marketing, and business
development including private sector joint ventures as well as with First
Nations. Montello welcomes his participation as the Company attempts to solidify
its foundations.


Montello is in discussions with its Sarcee, Alberta JV Partners, regarding the
timetable for commencement of work on the potentially high impact, currently
suspended 10,957 foot 12-13-23-4 W5M cased potential Rundle Gas Well ("12-13
Well") on the T'suu T'ina Reserve approximately 18 miles west of the city of
Calgary near Bragg Creek, Alberta. Montello holds an 8.5% working interest, net
to the Company, in this potential large gas play.


Additionally, Montello has entered talks to acquire up to a further 10,000 acres
of land in its focus areas in Alberta associated with current production.


Peter Brown stated, "My mandate in assuming the role of President of Montello
quite simply is to bring on our various projects that I feel have solid merit
and add to them. The goal is therefore to raise the necessary monies to get the
work done in as expeditious a manner as possible and if the Company takes on a
bigger piece of any particular project then so be it."


In order to be in a position to participate in all of the above projects with
the anticipated follow up work, Montello is pleased to announce that it intends
to make a non-brokered, no minimum amount, private placement of non-flow through
units (the "Non-Flow Through Units") and flow through units (the "Flow Through
Units") to accredited investors in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, and subject to qualification, in the United
States an aggregate offering to raise up to CDN $2,655,000, before the exercise
of warrants ("the Private Placement Unit Offering").


The Non-Flow Through Unit portion of the offering will consist of up to
3,250,000 units priced at CDN $0.51 per unit and will be comprised of ten (10)
Common Shares and ten (10) Common Share Purchase Warrants (the "Common Share
Warrants"). Each Common Share Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one
additional Common Share at CDN $0.10 per share if exercised within a period of
nine months from the first closing of the offering. If fully subscribed, the
sale of the Non-Flow Through Units will provide the Company with gross proceeds
of CDN $1,657,500.00, and if all Common Share Warrants are exercised will
provide the Company with gross proceeds of an additional CDN $3,250,000.00. The
purchase price of the Non-Flow Through Units will be allocated as to CDN $0.05
per Common Share and CDN $0.001 per Common Share Warrant.


The Flow Through Unit portion of the financing will consist of up to 1,750,000
units priced at CDN $0.57 per unit and will be comprised of four (4) Common
Shares, six (6) flow through Common Shares and ten (10) Common Share Warrants.
If fully subscribed, the sale of the Flow Through Units will provide the Company
with gross proceeds of CDN $997,500.00 and if all Common Share Warrants are
exercised will provide the Company with gross proceeds of an additional CDN
$1,750,000.00. Sixty percent of the proceeds received from the sale of the Flow
Through Units will be used by Montello to incur qualifying Canadian exploration
expenses, which will be renounced in favour of purchasers for the 2008 taxation
year. The purchase price of the Flow Through Units will be allocated as to CDN
$0.05 per Common Share, CDN $0.06 per flow through Common Share, CDN $0.001 per
Common Share Warrant.


Finder's fees of 8% of the purchase amount of Non-Flow Through Units or Flow
Through Units, as applicable, sold as a result of introductions of subscribers
to the Company, in cash, plus a number of Common Share Warrants equal to 8% of
the number of such units sold as a result of such introductions may be paid on
those portions of the Private Placement Unit Offering to persons qualified to
receive such fees. The Private Placement Unit Offering is subject to the
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.


The Private Placement Unit Offering may close in one or more closings. Proceeds
will be used by Montello to pay for the costs of the offering, and in
management's discretion, to: develop its oil and natural gas prospects in Morgan
County, Tennessee; advance exploratory activities on joint venture properties,
including Pincher Creek, Sarcee, Grouard, Mulligan as well as to explore lands
that Montello may acquire or farm-in to, and for general working capital
purposes.
