Calgary, Alberta, November 28, 2008, Montello Resources Ltd. ("Montello") (TSX V: MEO).....Further to Montello's press release of May 6, 2008 regarding a proposed equalization arrangement, to be entered into between Montello and Nexgen Petroleum Corporation, with respect to the Bowen Block (the "Bowen Lands and Accompanying Assets") in Tennessee, Montello announces that it has revised the equalization arrangement with Nexgen by virtue of an amending agreement dated November 9, 2008 (the "Amended Agreement").

Prior to the Amended Agreement, and in accordance with contracts entered into between Montello and Nexgen Petroleum Corporation, Nexgen had been granted an option to acquire an undivided 15% working interest share of Montello's working interest in the Bowen Block by paying Montello up to $1.25 Million (USD), to be applied towards Montello's expenditures in the Highpoint Project.

The Amended Agreement confirms that Nexgen has earned an undivided 7.5% working interest in the Bowen Block and provides the opportunity for Nexgen with an option to earn an additional undivided 7.5% working interest from Montello, by making a onetime cash payment of USD $400,000 (the "Option Amount") to Montello. The Option Amount must be paid on or before that date which is 90 days from the service rig release date (the"Option Period"). The service rig is currently being utilized to test and complete the Rome formation deep gas zone, in the John Bowen No. 2 well.

Any portion of the Option Amount which is paid by Nexgen during the Option Period, shall be applied to the pro-rata earning of the Bowen block working interest from Montello. Where Nexgen elects to pay the entire Option Amount, Nexgen shall own an undivided 15% working interest and Montello shall retain an undivided 40% working interest in the Bowen Block. In the event that Nexgen does not exercise its right, then its working interest shall remain fixed at an undivided 7.5% working interest.

On another matter, the Company has been advised by its legal counsel that litigation is pending in the Morgan County, Circuit Court whereby Nabors Drilling USA, LP (the "Plaintiff") is suing Montello Resources Ltd. USA, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary. The Plaintiff alleges that the sum of $151,554.44 remains unpaid on an oil and gas well drilling contract. The Company contends that all obligations with respect to the John Bowen #2 Well contract being disputed were met in April, 2008. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against this allegation and action.
