                  NOSTRA TERRA ANNOUNCES HYDROCARBON DISCOVERY


13 October 2009

Nostra  Terra  is pleased to announce a hydrocarbon discovery on  the  Boxberger
property in Kansas, USA.

The  Boxberger A #5 horizontal well in Russell County, Kansas is Nostra  Terra's
initial production well in the area.  The well is a re-entry.  It was originally
drilled  to  a  total  measured depth of 3,400 feet.  We are  drilling  multiple
laterals  in  two  un-produced zones in lengths of 300 feet to  600  feet  each.
Details  on  flow rate will be provided once production is established.   Nostra
Terra  currently holds a 75% working interest before payout and 50% after payout
in this well.  Hewitt Petroleum, Inc. (HPI) holds the remaining interest.

"We  have encountered two reservoirs that have never been produced before," said
William  A.  Alexander, a consulting engineer based in Broken  Arrow,  OK.   The
project  culminates  a five-year research effort designed to  identify  bypassed
reserves in the Central Kansas Uplift.  The field where Boxberger is located  is
one  of the largest in Kansas having produced almost 100 million barrels of  oil
in various zones since its discovery in 1926.

"Our  partnership with HPI is off to a great start," said Matt Lofgran,  CEO  of
Nostra  Terra.   "We  are  encouraged by the early results.  Re-work  operations
should  be  completed  mid-week and re-work of  the  Boxberger  #2  SWD  is  now
complete. Once the Boxberger A #5 is in production, we will immediately move  to
the  Boxberger  B  #2. We plan on finishing the rework and  bringing  that  well
online in 2-3 weeks."

The  technical information in this announcement has been prepared  and  approved
for  release  by  W.  A  Alexander.  Jr of  W.  A.  Alexander,  Jr.  Oil  &  Gas
Consulting.   He   is  a  qualified  person  as  defined   in   the   Note   for
Mining and Oil & Gas Companies, June 2009, of the London Stock Exchange.

Further  announcements on progress at the properties will be made in due  course
and   are   available  automatically  by  email  to  those   who   register   at
