                         Hoffman Well Starts Production
                      Update on Boxberger and Bloom Leases

8 February 2009

Nostra Terra is pleased to announce that the first well at its Hoffman lease  in
Kansas, USA, (the "Well") has established production.

Hoffman
After  3  days of swabbing production rates of approximately 74 bopd  have  been
established.  An oil purchase contract has been executed for all  production  at
the Hoffman lease.

The  Well  is  Nostra Terra's initial production well on the  Hoffman  property.
Redevelopment  of  the  second well at Hoffman has commenced  and  Nostra  Terra
anticipates  bringing it into production during the first quarter.  The  Company
has  a  7.8125  per  cent  interest (rising  to  25  per  cent  once  the  final
consideration of $275,000 has been paid) in a total of six wells on the  Hoffman
property, including at least one salt water disposal well ("SWD").  The property
also includes additional leased acreage allowing for new wells to be drilled  at
a later date.

Updates  will  be  provided on reserves and production rates in  the  future  to
reflect fieldwork and production activities.

Boxberger Lease

Further to the announcement made on 6 January, the production facility at NTOG's
first producing well at Boxberger has now been completed and the Company expects
to  be  able to announce production data later this quarter.  Initial oil  flows
were  very  encouraging.  It was found, after running a second production  test,
that  a  further  salt water disposal well ("SWD") of higher injection  capacity
would  be  needed to achieve the optimum results from this well.  This has  also
been  permitted  for substantial excess injection capacity to  cover  additional
wells on the lease and will be completed shortly.

Bloom

A  completion  rig  is currently at work on the Bloom property.   We  anticipate
bringing one to two wells into production on this property this quarter.


"We  are  delighted to have our first well enter production and look forward  to
bringing further wells into production shortly. This is just the beginning of an
exciting year," said Matt Lofgran, CEO of Nostra Terra.


The  technical information in this announcement has been prepared  and  approved
for  release  by  Jeremiah Burton of Hewitt Petroleum, Inc. 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

Nostra  Terra  Oil  &  Gas Company plc (AIM: NTOG) is an emerging  oil  and  gas
exploration  and  production company with newly acquired assets  in  established

Company has an option) in Stafford County.

Hoffman
Nostra  Terra  holds  a 7.8125 per cent (rising to 25 per cent  once  the  final
consideration  of  $275,000 has been paid) working interest in  five  production
wells  and one salt water disposal well on the Hoffman lease, located in  Barton
County and Russell County, Kansas.

Nostra  Terra also holds an interest in a license to further explore and develop

which  the Company and its joint venture partner are exploiting in the  US  mid-

Ukrainian  reservoir but rapid and profitable development of its US business  is
now Nostra Terra's primary focus.
