Operations Update

Nostra Terra Oil and Gas Company plc
                    ("Nostra Terra", "NTOG" or the "Company")

                               Operations Update

6 January 2010

Further  to Nostra Terra's operations update announced on 3 December  2009,  the
Company  is pleased to announce that initial oil flows from the first production
well  on  the Boxberger property (the "Well") have proved very encouraging.  However,
continuing adverse and extreme weather conditions have meant that the process of
completing the production facility has been delayed.

Further  announcements  will  be  made in due  course  -  notably  once  weather
conditions have allowed the production facility to be completed and allowed  the
Company to evaluate stable flow rates from the Well.
